[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 55]
Qing Chen.
Your internal energy is in disorder.
You're very frail.
You must recuperate in peace.
I'm fine.
Do you know where Prince Ling is now?
Prince Ling has taken over Taoyang City with his army.
Why did you pass out on the streets?
I thought that you had gone to look for Prince Ling.
What happened?
He said that he regrets...
He regrets having once loved a woman called Qing Chen.
is there some sort of a misunderstanding?
I think that he's deliberately trying to make me leave.
Something must have happened.
Elder Xi Xie sent a message to say that
Prince Ling's mother, Consort Lian, was sentenced to death by His Majesty.
What I can't understand is that in the letter
it also said that Consort Lian is the Elder of dark sorcery
If so, how could she allow herself to be killed by His Majesty?
This won't do.
There must be something behind this!
Qing Chen!
Qing Chen, you mustn't!
Qing Chen!
Don't be frightened.
But your body--
I only have two months left...
This is bad...
Qing Chen doesn't have much time left.
Zhan, what are you doing here?
Where is Che?
What those people said... isn't true, is it?
What they said is true.
No...
That's impossible...
Che promised me that he'd marry me when he returns home in victory.
It can't be...
He's always stayed true to friendship and promises.
He wouldn't lie to me!
Cai Qian!
You can cry and throw a tantrum.
I'll stay by your side through it all.
But we have to accept this fact.
It can't be...
I don't believe it...
Zhan...
Tell me!
Where is Che's corpse?
He couldn't have died...
Dead or alive, I need to see him!
I've asked my men to search the entire Taoyang City for him.
We couldn't find his corpse anywhere.
You mean...
There are no remains?
- Qing Chen. - Mister Mo.
What exactly happened?
Why would you say those words to me?
Haven't I already made it very clear to you?
None of my matters concern you anymore.
- You're keeping something from me. - No.
Do you really regret it?
You no longer trust me?
It isn't as if you've never kept anything from me.
Since we can no longer trust each other, we should break it off.
You're obviously deeply in love.
Why would you do so?
Prince Ling once used his life to create the jade rings
to block Qing Chen from her powers backfiring.
Yet now, why would you say such heartless words?
So, whenever the power backfired at me
the jade rings shattered.
It's actually...
You already knew where I came from.
We're now in great uncertainty.
You should both work hand in hand.
Since you're willing to sacrifice for each other
you should all the more be honest with each other.
That was why you deliberately said those words to me
so that you could head back to the palace and handle everything alone?
What about The Mages?
What will happen to The Mages?
The Mages should protect the imperial family.
The reigning emperor tried to destroy the Meandering Skies repeatedly.
How could we do nothing about it?
You have to know that I'm returning to raise a rebellion.
I don't even fear death.
What else have I got to fear?
Ming Yan, thank you for what you just said.
However, you mustn't let him know that I have only two months left.
Qing Chen...
Have you really thought it through?
I know what you're worried about.
However, be it Great Wei or The Mages
we're left with no choice right now.
I don't understand why you chose not to tell Prince Ling
that Prince Che might survive.
The Lunar Corona Pebble could revive someone from the verge of death.
However, Che is still unconscious.
We can't be sure that he'd make it so this is but a glimmer of hope.
However, the higher you get your hopes up
the more disappointed you will be.
It's too much of a heavy blow for Prince Ling to bear.
Should Che wake up some day
that would then be a great joy to Prince Ling.
In the current condition, it's just adding to his worries.
But is it worth going to such great lengths for Prince Ling?
Whether it's worthwhile...
Put yourself in my shoes.
If it's Yuan Li instead of Prince Ling, you'll understand me.
Ming Yan...
You and I are both left with no other choice.
Since it is so, why would we act overcautiously?
We should just follow our hearts.
All right, I'll go and get ready.
- Prince Li. - Elder Xi Xie.
How is the situation?
Qing Chen and Ling are on their way back to the capital.
However, my father surely won't let Ling off this time.
I've already anticipated that to happen.
Therefore, I've lead my people here to hide in the palace
to prepare for Qing Chen and Prince Ling's arrival.
Good, I'll make the arrangements.
However, the Magic Circle of Nine Transformations is already collapsing.
Qing Chen doesn't have much time left.
One of the dual stars has to fall for the ultimate goal to be achieved.
This is the ill fate that they can't escape from.
If Qing Chen were to survive...
Prince Ling's death is then inevitable.
However, not all nine of the sacred pebbles were retrieved.
Even if Ling sacrifices his life, he can't save Qing Chen.
What's even worse is that Ming Yan has sent news
to say that Qing Chen had used the Lunar Corona Pebble to save Che.
As the Guardian of Nine Transformations, is there nothing you could do?
If only one sacred pebble is missing, there's still a chance.
But we haven't been able to find The Obsidian.
If we are short of two sacred pebbles, even I would vanish into thin air.
The Obsidian.
I'll think of ways to search for The Obsidian.
As for the rest, I'll have to trouble the Guardian.
Mister Xi Xie, thank you.
Lian... Ling is coming back.
We've been father and son for 20 some years.
What should I do about him?
Now, you have all left me one after another...
I really am frightened that the sorceress's prophecy is true
and I'll live out my days all alone.
If that turns out to be true...
It's even more terrifying than death.
Not only am I a husband and father
but also the emperor of Great Wei.
There are some matters that I had no choice but to do so.
Lian...
Do you know that whoever stole the throne has actually stolen
the ultimate loneliness of the world?
Your Majesty, the scouts have reported back.
Prince Ling has come to the capital.
He's soon entering Heavenly Capital but he's not in shackles.
Now that Liang State has withdrawn their army
and Taoyang City is taken care of.
I will now hand over Taoyang City officially to Your Highness.
Our Black Armor Army will return to our country today.
On behalf of A-Chai Tribe's people, I, Kualu, hereby thank Prince Zhan.
I promise Your Highness that A-Chai Tribe and Wei State
will now establish a treaty of eternal peace.
Come forward!
This is the written treaty of our alliance.
I thank Your Highness on behalf of my people.
Princess Duo Xia was a friend of Great Wei.
She was also the pride of A-Chai Tribe.
Prince Zhan, I take my leave.
Li Lin, see His Highness out.
Yes.
Your Highness, this way.
Father gave me a confidential decree to arrest Ling back to the capital.
But how could I do so to my sibling?
I could only hope that Ling and Father reconcile back in the palace.
Then my defiance of the decree will be worthwhile.
Greetings, Noble Consort.
There's an urgent report from the border.
Prince Zhan has already taken over the armed forces
and Prince Ling is now on his way back to the capital.
This is good.
However...
Your Highness, what else are you worried about?
Judging by Zhan's temperament
I'm worried that even though Zhan now wields great military authority
he might not vie for the throne with Ling.
Your Highness, Prince Ling is no longer qualified to vie for the throne.
His Majesty has loved that woman for so many years.
I'm afraid that he might give in momentarily
and spare Ling's life.
Ling will always be a potential threat as long as he's not killed.
He might not be qualified to succeed the throne
but he has the ability to take the throne.
Your Highness, you're right.
How should we handle this situation?
An extensive preparation eventually pays off.
Yin family has trained dark guards for so many years.
It's time to make use of them.
Your Highness means...
We won't let him make it back to the capital.
Get rid of him and end it all.
I've made all the arrangements.
Tomorrow morning, I'll attack the palace.
All right.
My mentor has sent a letter.
He's arranged for the sorceresses to assist you in the palace.
All right.
Elder Mo has told me that my mother isn't actually dead.
What exactly happened in Taoyang City that day?
Was my mother involved in it?
Although I can't agree with Consort Lian's ways
I can understand how she feels.
To a certain extent, she is just like me.
We just both wanted to reunite with our husbands
and spend a lifetime together.
But it shouldn't be done at the cost of other people's lives, should it?
Whatever sins she committed, I'll redeem on her behalf.
Qing Chen... She is after all my mother.
I hope that you won't blame her.
Since she's your mother, that makes her mine as well.
As a woman and mother, she didn't do anything wrong.
However, she resorted to the wrong means.
You have nothing to do with it.
You are not her.
You shouldn't take all the blame on yourself.
But she did after all... bring destruction upon The Mages.
She...
Qing Chen?
I love you.
One is the Grand Sorceress of The Mages and the other is a prince.
But you won't be together in the end.
Your father and I were so deeply in love with each other back then...
We were still separated by death.
Ling...
I don't need you to bear the consequences of my mistakes.
From now on, I will never allow anyone to hurt you anymore.
We pledge our lives to serve Prince Ling!
Get up.
It's hard to say if I'd win the battle today.
I might also be accused of treason.
Should any of you wish to leave now, I'd never hold you back.
Ling!
What are you doing here?
Qing Chen asked me to pass on a message.
Didn't I ask her to meet up with me at the north gate of the palace?
Qing Chen said...
She won't be able to return to where she came from.
She won't be able to go back there?
What is that supposed to mean?
She's used up the Lunar Corona Pebble to save Che's life.
Even if we manage to find The Obsidian, we can't get all the sacred pebbles.
Che?
Isn't Che already--
Qing Chen has left Che in A-Chai Tribe.
When you left, his condition has stabilized.
Qing Chen...
Where is Qing Chen right now?
Qing Chen has led The Mages right into the palace now.
She said you're the new emperor that the people look up to.
Once her plan succeeds
you'll enter the palace in the name of pacifying the chaos and rule Great Wei.
How could she say that?
She should know that I could die for her.
- Black Armor Army! - Present!
- Come with me to the palace! - Yes!
Ling! It's her last wish to assist you to the throne.
Just let her do it!
If I can't even protect my own woman, what use is it to have the world?
Ling! Ling!
By His Majesty's decree
the witches have trespassed into the palace in rebellion.
Kill and spare none!
Qing Chen!
There's no time to lose. Go to Zhiyuan Hall quickly.
- Leave them to me. - Be careful!
I will.
It's just you?
Exactly.
The Mages will set things right for the world today
and crown a wise emperor.
Set things right?
Crown a wise emperor?
That treacherous son rebels in attempt to seize my throne?
Why doesn't he come for it personally?
If I didn't show up...
Wouldn't Father be disappointed?
Since I was a child, Father has taught me that I should fight for what I want.
I...
I've been waiting a long time for you.
For the past 20 some years...
In my mind...
You're my most respectable father.
If you hadn't kept picking on me again and again...
We wouldn't have to be here today.
Greed can never be concealed.
Today, both the sovereignty and I are laid out here.
If you have the guts...
Come get it yourself without relying on that sorceress.
It's the duty of The Mages to protect the legitimacy of the imperial lineage.
This should be carried out by The Mages.
This is the grudge between us.
I will put an end to it myself.
Fine.
You're still quite the man.
All I want to know is this.
You killed my father and humiliated my mother.
You harmed The Mages in every way.
How would you like to put an end to all that?
You only remember the vengeance of your father's murder
and the insult of your mother's humiliation.
Do you still remember the gratitude you should have
for the past 20 some years that I've raised you?
Forget it.
We will conclude it all with this combat today.
Bring it on!
Kill me.
Then it will all be over.
Although you're not my son
you are indeed the one who takes after me the most.
You've been tied down by love for life and colluded with The Mages.
You'd always be burdened with the sin of rebellion and usurping the throne.
Have a taste of how that feels.
Your Majesty!
You might not know that the woman you loved the most
my mother, is still alive?
She's the Chief Elder of dark sorcery.
She wants to see you betrayed and abandoned.
She wants you in living hell.
What did you say?
Lian is the Chief Elder of dark sorcery?
She's not dead?
What's even more beyond your imagination
is that your empress was killed by the woman you loved the most.
That's impossible.
How could Lian be the Chief Elder?
The Mages never failed Great Wei.
We're here to clear our names for the Meandering Skies
by setting things right today.
All these years as father and son...
You've mentored me, raised me...
I can't kill you today.
It's because I'm going to prove to you that as an emperor
one doesn't always have to kill or scheme against others.
The nation can still be peaceful and prosperous.
His Majesty is too ill to govern the nation.
The nation must not do without a ruler.
Prince Ling excels in both civil and military achievements.
He is the aspiration of our people.
May Prince Ling take the throne immediately
so as to bring blessings to Great Wei.
We bow and beseech Prince Ling to take the throne to protect Great Wei!
Congratulations to the new emperor!
Blessings to Your Majesty!
Congratulations to the new emperor!
Blessings to Your Majesty!
Congratulations to the new emperor!
Blessings to Your Majesty!
Congratulations to the new emperor!
Blessings to Your Majesty!
Yuan An...
You never thought that you would come to such an end?
You--
Witch!
You're actually one of The Mages?
You've even deceived His Majesty for years!
All these years...
I've long been thinking about getting rid of you and your son.
I've brought you here from Yanxi Hall today
so that you can take a look for yourself just how my son won the throne.
As for your son...
He will never have a chance.
You're wrong.
Zhan doesn't vie for it not because he can't.
But that he values friendship and loyalty more than anyone.
My Zhan will never be defeated!
Yin family will never be defeated!
Yin family won't be defeated!
Your Highness!
Halt!
Your Highness!
Uncle? What are you doing here?
Your Highness, bad news!
Yuan Ling and his mother conspired with The Mages to usurp the throne.
Your mother--
Your mother...
She was forced to jump off the walls by them.
You just said...
What happened to my mother?
I'm incompetent...
I've failed to protect Noble Consort.
Are you telling the truth?
Your Highness...
Your Highness!
Ling...
I could have given up vying for anything...
But why did you...
Why didn't you even spare my mother?
Your Highness, do you know that
Yuan Ling is the posthumous child of the former emperor?
That was why he plotted to raise a rebellion!
Your Highness... You must take back the sovereignty
for the sake of your parents!
In order to protect Great Wei's--
Are you telling the truth?
All that I just said is absolutely true.
Your mother... It's because she found out about his true identity
that she was forced to take her life!
Li Lin!
- Present. - Convey my orders!
Besiege Heavenly Capital!
Yes!
Qing Chen?
Don't tell Ling.
My Grand Sorceress...
You really have very little time left.
Could you care more about yourself?
I know.
I'm just afraid that I'd drag you down with me.
Qing Chen...
Our friendship grew from a fight.
I came here with you by accident.
Now, we won't ever make it back.
But I think that having met all of you here...
This journey has been worthwhile.
Do you know that the both of us will vanish?
Perhaps, this is fate?
I just hope that Ming Yan could stay alive and well.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to look for Yuan Ling.
Ling...
Ling has moved back to his manor.
I'll go to him.
Yuan Ling.
As the new emperor, why haven't you moved into the palace?
Why are you still staying here?
I don't like how cold the palace is.
It reminds me of my brothers who died because of the throne.
I still prefer to stay here.
How could I not understand what you think?
It's just that since you're now the new emperor
you should set your people's minds at ease.
I know.
- Your Majesty! - What is it?
Prince Zhan has had his army besiege Heavenly Capital
and sent out a challenge.
I heard you.
Convey my orders.
Stay alert and strengthen our defense.
Yes!
How do you intend to handle Prince Zhan's challenge?
Former emperor Yuan An is imprisoned and Noble Consort Yin killed herself.
Zhan holds great military power.
This battle is inevitable.
The killing between siblings can't be avoided after all?
