Chronicle of Life
Episode 14
How do you feel?
You . . . you are the Brother Ye San from that year.
You finally remembered.
What else do you remember?
Do you remember that you are called Liang Er?
But you remembered I'm Brother Ye San. I'm already satisfied.
Oh right. We agreed to meet again at the temple.
Why didn't you come?
Did something happen?
I can't remember.
It's okay.
One day, you will remember.
Greetings to Lady Hui Fei.
You may get up. Thank you, Ma'am.
His Majesty is marking the official documents.
His orders are to disallow anyone from disturbing him.
I made almond jelly for His Majesty. Please take it to him.
I'll leave after His Majesty's finished eating it.
Yes, ma'am.
Be careful.
Don't be careless.
Put down the sword.
Let her go.
No need to chase him.
Did he startle you?
As long as you're safe.
This has potassium nitrate smell. Seems someone knows our trail.
And tailed us on purpose.
It's nearly dark. Let's return to the palace.
Let's go.
His Majesty already ate the almond jelly.
Please return to your palace.
Are Rong Ruo and Wei Lin Lang with His Majesty?
Yes, ma'am, they are.
Alright. Then I won't worry.
Safe return, ma'am.
Your Majesty.
It looks His Majesty secretly went out of the palace.
How do you know?
No matter how much he loves the food, he only eats half.
Because he doesn't want those watching learn his likes.
But this time, he ate it all.
De wouldn't let. me into the imperial study.
I knew something was strange.
What is your plan?
That depends on what His Majesty plans.
Brother Chang Qing, you're back.
Did you buy candied fruit?
Candied fruit?
I had too many matters to attend to. I didn't have time to buy candied fruit.
Next time. I'll buy it for you next time.
It's alright.
What errands did you run outside the palace?
Why is your face dirty?
Let me wipe it.
I'll wipe myself.
Brother Chang Qing. Why is your hand ripped?
And you're still bleeding.
Don't move. Sit. Sit down.
Put some powder to heal faster.
Your Majesty. Get up.
Your Majesty, you're finally back.
How did it go today?
Everyone else was fine,
but I drank four bowls of soup for you. So full.
From who?
In the morning, it was Su Mo Er and Ying Mo Mo.
From Her Great Dowager Majesty and Her Dowager Majesty.
At lunch time, it was Lady Duan Ping and An Ping.
And just earlier, Lady Hui Fei brought almond jelly.
Hui Fei came too?
Did she say anything?
She didn't say much, just that she would wait till you ate.
So I ate it all for you.
What? You ate the whole thing?
I was half worried and half eating, so I ate the whole thing.
How are you so dumb?
My greetings to Your Majesty.
You may stand.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I was bored in the imperial study all day.
So I came by to talk with you.
The almond jelly you brought earlier was exceptional.
Opened my appetite.
I couldn't help myself and ate the whole thing.
I'm glad you liked it.
You've been working hard lately.
Allow me to play a tune for you to help you relax.
That'd be great.
Lin Lang, what am I to do?
No matter what I do,
I am doing for your sake.
I just want you to be happy and safe.
When moonlight meets Chang Men plaza,
let not the inner palace worry.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty?
Great and refreshing.
Great tune indeed.
Your Majesty,
it is late.
I see that you are fatigued.
Maybe you should return and rest.
Then you should rest up soon as well. I'll come visit you again in a couple of days.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
The first day I entered the palace , this melody
was the tune His Majesty taught me.
His Majesty probably already forgot.
Imperial concubine. - You may rise.
I just made a trip to Shen Wu Gate.
I heard that His Majesty, Sir Nalan and Wei Lin Lang
all came back to the palace together.
From what it looks like, you were right.
Or maybe from the start,
I shouldn't have let her in the palace.
This girl and His Majesty seem to be close.
My suggestion for you is to plan in advance and prevent potential problem from happening.
For Lin Lang,
I really can't keep her any more.
Tell Rong Ruo to see me tomorrow.
Yes.
Little master!
Don't run away, little master. It's dangerous there.
Little master.
Your Majesty, this way.
The smell of saltpetre.
Yours Majesty, it seems like someone tried gunpowder here.
Check everyone went into or out of the palace yesterday.
Sir, it's not fair.
I used the sulfur to prevent bugs and rats.
Sulfur can be used to prevent bugs, as well as to do other things.
No matter if you are guilty, we'll interrogate you first.
Sir, it's not fair! Shut up!
Chang Qing!
Chang Qing, I just saw that Mr. Wang from Penalty Department took a young eunuch away.
Why?
I heard that they are looking for
those who have sulfur or saltpetre within the palace.
Is it an order from His Majesty?
Yes, Chang Qing.
You showed me some firework to me in the hunting field. Will that be a problem?
It won't.
Chang Qing, don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
Chang Qing won't do anything bad.
Chang Qing?
What else do you want to eat?
Your Majesty.
A message from the Penalty Department. They have verified that the young eunuch from Xin Zhe Ku, named Chang Hai,
is the person who made explosion with saltpetre at the fake mountain.
He did it in order to please a maid.
Did you verify this with that maid?
No.
Chang Hai was too weak to stand punishment and has died.
According to the Penalty Department, the suspect already came clean and signed.
Madam.
Big sister, you need me?
This orchid is supposed to have grown better.
It's a pity that it grew at a wrong place.
It shouldn't have grown in the inner palace,
which make it lose all the vigor.
I just started to realize
why you were in such a hurry to bring Lin Lang out of the palace.
You already knew that His Majesty had feelings towards her.
You shouldn't have hidden that from me.
I didn't tell you because...
Actually no matter which woman His Majesty likes,
it is totally okay for me.
But the woman can't be Wei Lin Lang.
We both know the reason.
Rong Ruo does know.
If one day, His Majesty find out Lin Lang's real identity,
Lin Lang will die,
as well as the Nalan's.
Rong Ruo, for you,
this may not be the most terrible thing.
The most terrible thing is that one day Lin Lang may find out His Majesty was the person killed her whole family.
You love her so much,
but you have to see her live in agony and hatred
Meanwhile, you, as an official,
are close to His Majesty like you are each other's brother.
You have to see him
fall in love with a person who hates him.
Stop talking big sister!
I won't let her recollect the past things.
It seems to be a mistake for me to place her into the palace.
I don't want to do anything that I regret.
For His Majesty, the safety of we Nalan's as well,
I need you to take Lin Lang out of the palace,
and to make her disappear by any means.
Big sister! Nalan Yi will help you.
This is the best solution right now.
Lin Lang will not die. She will just lose freedom for a few years.
Afterwards, when His Majesty forgets about it,
you can do whatever you want.
My concern is that His Majesty may not forget about it.
His Majesty is the emperor of a country.
It's unavoidable for him to be trapped by romantic love for a short of time.
I don't believe he will be loyal to anyone in this regard.
Young Master, you need to think it through.
After you think it through,
let me know when you think it's the right time.
I see.

Your Majesty.
This painting...
Is this painting the same as the house in your dream?
There is resemblance.
Come here. Tell me which parts are different.
I remember that there used to be a desk here.
Then some plants here.
Also some chairs here.
Is this what you think of?
Yes.
What do you want to do Your Majesty?
Don't worry. You'll know in a bit.
This way. Take it slow.
It's great!
Big brother is great!
Liang'er, Abuhai, come here.
Mother.
Have some almond jelly.
I remembered! I remembered!
I remember everything! I am Liang'er!
You finally remembered!
You don't need to think about it.
Why didn't you tell me
that I had another name,
Liang'er?
Don't think about it.
And stop asking about it. What are you hiding from me?
I told you to stop asking!
Actually,
you know all the memory that I struggle to recollect.
You just don't want to tell me.
Is that correct?
Yes. Why? Why?
Since you don't want to tell me,
I'll find out myself.
Leave the palace with me. Didn't we agree we'd leave together?
I just need you to nod your head. And we can leave immediately.
Leave this place. The farther the better.
If you won't tell me the truth
I won't be leaving with you.
Lin Lang!
Your Majesty.
Never mind. Get on up.
Lin Lang, get over here. Yes.
Your Majesty.
Get up. Thank you, Your Majesty.
Lin Lang, do you remember him?
Little rabbit.
Do you still remember his name then?
It's Liang Er.
Then now you know, Lin Lang is Liang Er.
And Liang Er is Lin Lang, right?
I know it now.
Good. Since you know it, let me give it back to you.
Just that . . . Just what?
I plead Your Majesty to set the bunny free.
Let him live a free life.
That way, little bunny . . .
no, Liang Er will be grateful of your grace as well.
Ling Lang is Liang'er.
Liang'er is Ling Lang.
You, Liang'er can let this Liang'er out.
That's all alright.
Thank you.
Little rabbit, come out.
- Go home. - Go.

Sir,
Have you made your decision yet?
Sir, the carriage is ready. We'll leave immediately.
Don't come over. Why are you doing this to me?
I'll tell you after we are out of the palace.
Stop!
Sir, if you don't take her away now, we won't be able to later on.
If you're forcing me to leave now, we end our relations here.
Leave first.
Lin Lang,
I'm doing this out of my will.
Just leave with me, I've prepared everything already.
We'll leave this place and live a peaceful life.
I remember, I remember!
8 years ago that day, the person who tried to kill me was Nalan Yi.
Although he was wearing a mask,
but I remember the scar on his hand.
Why did he want to kill me?
What are you hiding from me?
If you don't tell me,
I won't leave with you.
Let go!
If you're going to forcefully take me away, I'd rather die.
Sir, you're too softhearted.
It's Wei Lin Lang, who's heart is too strong. (stubborn)
The worst is if one day Lin Lang finds out
that it was the king who killed her entire family.
And that you love Lin Lang
but can only watch her suffer and go through heartbreak.
You as one of the king's subject,
with whom you are friends with
can only watch him
love someone who hates him.
I'll tell you the truth.
But you have to promise me you will let go of the past,
leave this place, the farther the better.
Whatever you want to know, I will tell you.
I promise you.
Your parents were servants under the Nalan house.
8 years ago, your father and brother were found guilty
and refused to admit they were guilty.
At that time, I was young and impulsive.
I took you to your house for a discussion.
Your brother made the first move on me.
Then both families began to fight.
Kill!
Father! Leave quickly!
Unfortunately, your entire family weren't able to protect themselves sufficiently
and died during the fight.
At that time you were ten years old.
I couldn't bear to kill you.
That's why I kept you instead.
I tried to use all that I could to stop you from finding out what happened in the past.
It was to not let you suffer,
and I hoped that you wouldn't hate me.
I just wanted you to live peacefully.
That's why I did that.
It's not real.
You were good to me from when we were younger up until now.
- You're lying to me. - I am your enemy.
I was good to you to repay you for what I did.
Although I was uneasy, I knew this day would come.
If you want to take revenge for your family,
- then please kill me. - That's enough!
I don't believe you! I don't believe you!
Impossible.
I don't believe that's the truth.
It's impossible.
This pear blossom was made using white jade.
It will never wilt.
Like how I feel about you.
Forever.
I am your enemy.
I was good to you to repay you for what I did.
Although I was uneasy, I knew this day would come.
If you want to take revenge for your family, then please kill me.
This is all fake, it's all a dream.
He's lying to me. He's lying to me.
Father, mother.
You gave birth to me and raised me.
But I can't even remember what you look like.
I'm not a filial daughter.
These past 8 years, I didn't even know who I was
or what my identity was.
As your daughter, I'm sorry.
Lin Lang, Lin Lang.
Your Majesty.
It is against the palace's rules to worship.
I didn't know, please forgive me.
Lin Lang, let me take you somewhere.
Yes.
You said you don't remember anything in your past
and don't remember where your home was.
Come and take a look.
Take a look at all these houses which are lit,
they are all your home. Once you see this, you won't feel so lonely.
Thank you for your sympathy.
It's not sympathy.
Nor is it pity.
I was looking for you for 8 years and I finally found you.
Even if you can't recall your past forever,
I can guarantee that in your future memories,
they will be good.
Starting from this moment on, I
am your family.
I...we did go through life-death situations together,
but that was already 8 years ago.
In the 8 years that I forgot my past,
in my heart,
there's no place for you.
♫ A thousand drinks watching the candle burn ♫

♫ To love you ♫
I tried to use all that I could to stop you from finding out what happened in the past.
It was to not let you suffer.
I don't want to hear it!
It's not real!
I'm your enemy. I want to repay for what I did.
If you want to take revenge for your family,
then please kill me. - I don't want to hear it!
Sister...
Do you have something to tell me?
I want to ask for a favour.
I want to see Nalan Yi, it's urgent.
He went out, when he comes back I'll relay the message to him.
Thank you.
Did you know you missed a great opportunity?
I know.
Wei Lin Lang once swore to me,
that she would never leave your side.
But why isn't she willing to leave with you now?
Could it be that she had a change of heart?
Miss, you were looking for me?
I just want to ask you something.
8 years ago, the person who wanted to kill me,
was it you?
You only had eyes for Lin Lang,
I thought that Lin Lang felt the same about you.
Who knew she would have an interest in fawning over those with power?
That kind of woman, she's not worth keeping.
Lin Lang is not that kind of person!
Then what kind of person is she? Why was she unwilling to leave with you?
Imperial concubine.
Speak.
Imperial concubine, Lin Lang requested me to relay a message,
she said if she could see Nalan Yi.
What you're saying...you remember.
Although you were wearing a mask that day,
but I remember the scar on your hand.
Are you talking about this?
That's right.
8 years ago, I was still a child.
I had no relations with you, why did you want to kill me?
I shouldn't have let you go 8 years ago. I shouldn't have listened to Miss
and let you stay alive. You are a black star for the Nalan family.
Stop!
Sir, we can't let her go.
She remembers who she is and will end all our lives!
Everything you said was true. It was all true.
Since everyone in your family wants me dead,
why did you keep me?
Why did you make me live until now?
I hate you.
You can kill me.
But what you promised me,
you have to do.
Stop recalling your memories. Leave this place, the farther the better.
You, Nalan Rong Ruo and I, Wei Lin Lang have no relations anymore.
Who hurt you like this? Was it Wei Lin Lang?
What happened? Why was she so vicious?
Sister, stop asking.
Miss Lin Lang.
Have you thought about the favour I requested last time?
That, I just want you to help me.
I want to have a good position.
I'm sorry, I can't help you.
For Sir Nalan, shouldn't you think about it some more?
What does this have to do with Sir Nalan?
I know that you and Sir Nalan have feelings for each other.
The day His Majesty was out on a trip, you were both planning to leave.
I know about it.
I kept it hidden for you until now.
For nothing else but a better future.
What kind of future do you want?
I want to work under Yuqian* (Imperial court)
I'm sorry,
I can't help you. You can tell His Majesty.
I can die together with Rong Ruo. It's a good thing.
I never thought
that your personality is rather unyielding.
You did suck up to the wrong person.
What happened?
Wei Lin Lang remembers what happened in the past.
What did you say?
She just asked me why I tried to kill her 8 years ago.
Since she asked that,
it proves that she hasn't remembered who she was yet.
But I think that she will remember one day.
Then, she would take everything away from you.
Imperial concubine, this time, you can't be softhearted.
