Final Episode 35
Maertai Ruoxi
Without my permission,
You cannot die
YOU CANNOT DIE!
Letter? Where's the letter?
Imperial Brother
Where's the letter?
Fourth Prince
Life is like a dream,continuously changing.
Rights and wrongs. Gratitude and resentment.
But the days pass soundlessly.
Waters pass without leaving a trace.
It's hard to forget one's foolish longings.
When someone told me very calmly that he wanted the throne,
he already held the key to my heart.
When he threw away the umbrella
and endured and suffered the rain with me,
I had opened the door to my heart for him.
When he protected me
by using his own body to block the arrow,
I would never forget him in this life...
Everything that happened after that
only drew me in deeper.
Having said that,
Do you still need to ask about 8th Prince?
If there is love, there is anger. If there is love, there is hate.
If there is love, there is obsession. If there is love, there is longing.
Since we parted,
there has been nothing but anger, hate, obsession and longing,
transforming into inches of memories.
I don't know if you still resent me,
hate me, loathe me, or detest me.
Underneath the wisteria bower, underneath the moon in the bitter wind,
between my brush, inkstone, and paper,
in Ruoxi's heart, there is no Emperor,
only the Fourth prince who has stolen my soul.
We love, we miss, we don't meet.
Why the heavy hearts that would only make both lonely.
My weak inner being shatters.
This letter is as blurry as my words. (Connotes her eyes were blurred from tears.)
When I gaze into the courtyard, I long to see you.
Day by day, I will wait for your arrival.
- Ruoxi.
Take me to see her.
Bring me to see her.
Second Miss
Only Wang'ye is attending the wake
Wang'ye said CeFu'jin likes quiet, not...
Shut up! There's no CeFujin here
You may leave.
Ruoxi, he (referring to Fourth Prince - Emperor Yongzheng) finally came.
Ruoxi
After we parted ways last time,
I thought we'll have another chance to meet again
I thought I could come here to see you
Who would think...
Where's the coffin?
How is it that there's no coffin?
Maybe Ruoxi didn't leave yet
She is playing around with us
Ruoxi
Fourteenth! Fourteenth! Come out!
Fourteenth Brother
Why is there only a tablet but no coffin?
Ruoxi is here
What does that mean?
I cremated Ruoxi
Ruoxi
I'm going to kill you!! Imperial Brother. Imperial Brother!
Imperial Brother! I'm going to kill you! Imperial Brother, calm down a bit!
Fourteenth Brotherwould not treat Ruoxi like that
Let's ask for an explanation first
You're hurried now
Where were you earlier?
Do you know that Ruoxi waited like a fool for you for days?
Why are you acting like this for?
It was your fault, and you dare to blame me?!
I'm going to kill you!
Stop it! Stop it!
Because the letter had your penmanship
Imperial Brother thought you were writing to provoke him again so he threw it aside
Even if he didn't recieve the letter
but there are so many of your spies in this estate
didn't they tell you about Ruoxi?!
You used so many tricks
in order to make Imperial Brother unwilling to hear reports about Ruoxi
Do you still have to ask?!
So, it's like that
Ruoxi
I didn't mean to
That time under the plum trees
I did make Ruoxi show intimate gestures to the spies
It was only because my heart was hurt and suffocating,
and I wanted to anger you.
But I found out that I really do like speaking with Ruoxi
It was like returning to the past
Although we were separated by a screen,
I know that Ruoxi
was quietly laying there, I...
You Shut up!
Why?
Why did you treat Ruoxi like that?
This is what Ruoxi begged for
She begged me
to find a windy day
and spread her ashes amongst the wind
This way, she'll be free
She says she doesn't want a bad taste in her mouth
She doesn't want to be buried in the dark earth. She's scared...
scared that she'll be bitten by worms
Let us return home
Ruoxi is my Ce'Fujin
You can't take her away
I get to say if
she is your Ce'Fujin or not.
I never placed Ruoxi's name on the Imperial records
and you never had a marriage ceremony
When Imperial Father passed away
I couldn't see him one last time
When Mother passed away, I also did not see her one last time
Now you have to take away my Ce'Fu'jin
Don't bully too far!
It is to bully you!
Fourteenth Brother
Please sympathize with Imperial Brother's feelings
Moreover, I believe Ruoxi
is willing to leave with Imperial Brother
What a joke! If she was willing
why would she leave the Forbidden City?
Fourteenth Prince
It's Second Miss' wish
Let His Majesty take Second Miss away
It's Second Miss' wish. Really.
Your Majesty,
please follow me.
Fourteenth Brother.
If you really think for Ruoxi's own good
stop making a commotion
All of Ruoxi's sufferings
her difficulties
are for 8th brother, 10th brother,
and for you
Now, she has already passed away
don't make things difficult for her anymore
Your Majesty, please
Second Miss, every day practices her calligraphy
she only stops
when her hand has no more energy
Your Majesty
These were all written by Second Miss
Also these,
it all belongs to Second Miss
I was thinking to keep it for myself for memory
but I think if I give it to Your Majesty
it will be even better.
Before she left
What did she say?
Second Miss thought that you hated her.
Didn't want to see her
So she didn't leave any words for Your Majesty
You may leave.
Ruoxi
Second Miss knows Wang'ye will come back
so she left a letter for you.
Thirteenth Prince
Rouxi knowing you 13th prince
was my fortune
I only have 13th Prince that I can ask for this favor
I know that doing this will give 13th prince trouble
but the Death Seeking 13th prince of the past
would not be scared
And this handkerchief
Second Miss asked Wang'ye to give it to 9th prince
Second Miss didn't leave behind much money
these things
she told me to give half to Eunuch Wangxi
But
Not long after Ruoxi left
Wangxi tripped into the water and drowned
He can't use these
but Second Miss also said
Wangxi is an intelligent person
He won't be able to use it.
and told me to give this to his family
Imperial Brother
already heavily rewarded his family
What do you plan to do now?
Madam and Second Miss gave me their money
Second Miss said
I should decide what I should do next
I wish to serve Chenghuan Ge'ge
Second Miss also left this jade pendant for her
That's good, I originally thought that
but I didn't want to force you
Since you're willing
when I bring Chenghuan back to the estate
I wouldn't have to worry that no one will take care of her
Thank you Wang'ye
Nian Gengyao
already recieved Imperial Brother's edict
He has already accepted the title
and returned it to the emissary
Imperial Brother.
If Ruoxi sees you like this.
she won't rest in peace
The Empress has waited outside for a long time
She has never left your side
Imperial brother should appreciate her thoughts and actions
I want to see the Emperor
Wang'ye
Let me in! Wang'ye
Let him come in
Eighth Brother
Ruoxi is no longer here
why are you causing a commotion?
You should leave
Ruoxi
Came from my house
Now she's already gone
Why can't I
see her?
She is right here
You've seen her
Leave.
Why did you treat her like that?
Since you already let her leave the Forbidden city
Why can't you let her have a complete corpse and rest in peace?
8th Brother
This is Ruoxi's wish
It's the truth
She always have unordinary thoughts
Maybe because of this, she can
truly belong to her lover.
Back then I gave up on Ruoxi because of power.
Abandoned
the vows we made to never leave each other.
Now Imperial Brother.
for the Qing empire
and the past grievances
also given up the chance to be together forever?
You're the same as me. The things you once had
are all gone in the end.
With Ruoxi,
You're the same as me.
A failure.
Leave.
Now I'm the Emperor of the Qing.
LEAVE
Correct
You are the superior Emperor.
But I
am still me after all.
Stripped of titles, and removed from the records.
Stripped of yellow belts.
The wives of these two, if they have titles,
the titles are revoked
And all of their children and grandchildren
are striken from the imperial records and are to be renamed
8th Wang'ye changed his name to Ah Qi Na,
meaning he has surrendered his will,
and changed Hongwang's name to Pu Sa Bao (protected by Bodhisattva),
hoping that Yongzhen will be merciful like Bodhisattva and let Hongwang live.
9th Wang'ye won't change his name.
Yongzhen changed it to Sai Si Hei,
meaning 'hateful devil.'
Ruoxi
Your departure
might take you to the free
and future world
On 10th brother's wedding night
I took Ruoxi to the countryside to drink
When she was drunk
she once told me
that she isn't from this time period
and is from a future world
Back then, I thought she was silly and funny
Now that I think about it,
I'm willing to believe her
that she returned to her own place
I am not actually Ruoxi
I am Zhang Xiao
I don't belong to your world
I am afraid that one day
I will leave here against my will
like how I originally didn't want to come here
I hope that you really can return to your own time
You're awake
Doctor! Doctor!
She's awake! She's awake?
Quick!
Here
13th brother, you have so much free time today
that you won't admire the snow at home
and came here to see me?
I am here to do someone a favor
to give 9th brother something
Yu Tan has no regret or hate
Why is it not hate?
Why?!
Ruoxi
You deserve to be 4th's woman
No, you are more cruel than he is
He can only torture our bodies
We can escape by dying
But you
won't let me die in peace
making me feel regret and sadness
Don't block me!
You can't block me!
I have to go find that bastard Emperor!
Go! Go then!
Who would block you!
You said it
You can't block me
I have to settle scores with him
Who would block you?
I... I...
I'll desecrate his ancestral tombs
I... I'll yell at all of his ancestors so that they can't have peace
Aren't his ancestors your ancestors?
Aren't you scared
that your ancestors will come attack you?
That's right
There's no way to continue acting this scene
I can never out-talk you
That's why it's meaningful
Otherwise it won't be fun
Alright. Come
Come, sit and talk
Come, sit down and talk
Here, slowly
I saw that you were playing so happily
so I didn't help you
Look at you
your stomach is already so big
but you don't know control
You're worried now?
I'm not worried
Let us
try to have 2 kids in 3 years
Who cares what 4th brother is doing?
I don't have time to bother with him
That's right
Your chess skills have improved
You are so at ease
is really like
the clean and pure De Fei of the past
Of course
I should thank Imperial Brother
for imprisoning me in Mother's palace
and given me a peaceful place
Now, everyday I can pray to Mother
look at the books she often read
It is like returning to the past
There is nothing to worry about
I only have to care about how to enjoy every day
No matter what,
Mother is here to protect me
Out of all of us brothers,
it looks like
your days are the best
Yes
There's 13th brother
to play chess with and talk to often
There's Fu'jin to speak comforting words
There isn't a hint of loneliness
Now that I think about it
the throne that I've spent half my life fighting for
doesn't compare to these comfortable days
Won't His Majesty punish you?
I will go tell His Majesty
that this is what Ruoxi wanted before she died
Even if His Majesty is angry,
he won't say much
After I leave,
if I can have a complete corpse
could you
bury me with Minghui's ashes?
If I am cremated
then could you
mix her ashes with mine?
In life, I couldn't
be with her forever
So in death
I hope to fulfil her wish
Hongwang...
His Majesty will not punish Hongwang
Don't worry, 8th brother
As long as I'm here
I will protect him
In this life, I cannot repay back
all that 13th brother has done for me
Thank you, Ruoxi
Father
Qiaohui
I'm here
Chenghuan
take care of her for me
Don't worry, Wang'ye
4th brother
Your brother cannot
help you any longer
Us Brothers have walked this path together
Do we need to say such things?
When Ruoxi left,
she didn't want us
to remember her
but, actually, no one has forgotten.
Let us
meet again in our next life.
Father!
Father! Wang'ye! Father!
Wang'ye
Father!
They have all left.
There's only me.
In Yongzhen's 13th year of reign, August 23rd of the lunar calendar, Yongzhen passed away. He is buried in the Western tombs
After searching all over the place,
I still couldn't find a hint of Maertai Ruoxi's existence.
It's almost as if this person
has never existed in history
Unless,
those ten and something years
and the relationship with 4th prince
are all unreal?
Was it all just a dream?
I really did exist.
Do we know each other?
First, it's better not to meet you, so that I won't be falling in love with you.Second, it's better not to know you, so that I won't be longing for you.
