[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 5]
I'm late.
You didn't go easy on me at all.
You made two imperial decrees in a row
and gave me such a difficult problem to tackle.
How do you know if I can resolve it?
You're quite skilled?
My woman indeed.
Be it in the wind or rain
mountains of blade or seas of flames
I'll go through them with you.
Let's go.
Yuan Ling!
Qing Chen...
Yuan Ling!
Qing Chen!
Where are you?
Yuan Ling!
- Yuan Ling! - Qing Chen...
I want to forever remember what you look like.
Even if one day, when you age in appearance
even if my eyes could no longer see clearly...
With my hands, I could recognize your bone structure
and know that it is you.
In the future, we'll have a lot of time to be together.
I'll come to visit you every day.
I'll pester you every day.
You won't get to forget me even if you want to.
Watch out!
Qing Chen!
Run!
This magic circle puts the both of them to a test to see if
they could stick together through thick and thin.
Should either of them abandon another for fear of death
both shall be engulfed in darkness and perish.
We were not born on the same day, yet I wish we can die at the same time.
I wish to follow you in death.
Never shall we part.
They have finally passed the test.
They are the first to have survived this magic circle.
Qing Chen!
Are you all right?
I'm all right.
I might have used up too much of my powers in the magic circle.
I'll be fine after a few days' rest.
I don't want you to get hurt again because of me.
I promise. I'll use my entire country to protect you.
Let's go.
Your Highness.
His Majesty has gone to the Meandering Skies to save that sorceress.
Yuan Ling is indeed an affectionate and faithful man.
I'm happy to see the lovers marry.
Since Yuan Ling is so eager to do so
how could I stand by without helping him?
Yes.
Let's start with State Elder Qin.
Half of the scholars in the imperial court were recommended by him.
The stronger he objects to this marriage
the bigger this disturbance will become.
The scholars are all commenting that His Majesty favors women over his nation.
Let them hand in reports to make it known to the people
just how depraved the emperor of Great Wei is.
Please.
How inappropriate.
His Majesty's actions proved that he shows no respect for
the ancestral code and laws!
Appoint the Grand Sorceress as his empress?
This is absolutely ridiculous!
Exactly!
Everyone I had thought that His Majesty would appoint
State Elder's daughter as the empress.
That is to abide by the will of the gods and the preference of the people.
Anyone can be appointed as the empress except for the Grand Sorceress!
Ever since His Majesty took the throne
so many of the veteran officials have either fallen ill or died.
Some retired and went back to their hometown.
Who else do you think that His Majesty would still favor among us?
Let's take this morning's imperial court session for instance.
State Elder, you led all the officials to remonstrate against His Majesty.
How did His Majesty react?
He ignored all of you completely.
It seems...
His Majesty has made up his mind.
There's no room for negotiation.
State Elder.
It is already getting late.
If you wish to see His Majesty, why don't you wait till tomorrow?
There's still time, State Elder.
You mustn't wear yourself out.
It's not worth it.
If the emperor wants his subject dead, the subject will have to die!
I'm bringing the coffin here to remonstrate against His Majesty!
- State Elder... - Get lost!
Your Majesty!
If you insist on appointing that Grand Sorceress as your empress...
All right then.
In three days, walk over the remains of your officials to get to your wedding!
We beseech Your Majesty to retract your imperial decree!
Your Majesty, you must not defy the ancestral code.
If you do, the world will surely end up in great chaos, Your Majesty!
Fine! Your Majesty, since you refuse to see me
I will take my own life right here!
- State Elder! - State Elder!
You must not appoint a sorceress as the empress!
- State Elder! - State Elder
They have already broken the magic circle but they haven't shown up yet?
Could there be an accident?
Come with me into the magic circle to bring Qing Chen out.
Elder, I have been disobedient.
We have broken the magic circle.
I hope that you would allow me to take Qing Chen away.
You are indeed the Grand Sorceress of The Mages.
Since you are now no longer the Grand Sorceress
Sacred Pebbles of Nine Transformations are not to be in your care.
Leave now.
From this day forth
The Mages will know no Qing Chen.
Nor will we be involved in any matters regarding the imperial family.
You are on your own now.
I have been disobedient.
In order to keep my promise of a lifetime to one man...
I have forsaken The Mages.
In the future...
I could no longer serve by Elder's side.
I hope that you will take care of yourself.
I...
I bid you farewell.
Senior.
Seeing how deeply in love and affectionate they are...
It reminds me of how much they are just like we once were.
I chose to do so because I don't want them to have the same regret as us.
Ten years of His Majesty's life and
his determination to fight against the Mages...
That makes him worthy of Qing Chen's utmost devotion.
If they could break the Magic Circle of Blades and Flames
they can surely break the curse of the dual stars as well.
Greetings to Your Highness.
Your Highness, my father...
Your Highness.
My father had remonstrated with his own life.
His Majesty still refuses to see us?
It's freezing cold out here.
Young General, you must take care of yourself.
You should both head home for now.
Your Highness.
My father had remonstrated with the sacrifice of his own life
in order to uphold our nation's ancestral code and law.
We must see His Majesty!
We seek audience with His Majesty!
Emperor Emeritus, please drink this.
You may dismiss.
Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, it will be my wedding ceremony.
I have come here specially to inform Father of it.
She is the Grand Sorceress of The Mages.
In order to marry her as my wife
I've been making plans for a long time.
I've even put in more effort in this than taking the throne from you.
However, you could rest assured.
The times have changed.
The fatuous reputation you have left behind will be set right.
Under my reign, the imperial family will not be stigmatized.
Therefore... Father, you'll surely give me your blessings, right?
It's the State Wedding today.
Is everything ready?
Yes, Your Highness.
We're just waiting for the right timing.
She is after all the Grand Sorceress.
We should still take more caution.
Your Highness, fret not.
In order to break the magic circle, she gave up her sorceress bloodline.
She has lost all her powers.
Grand Sorceress...
No.
The woman who is about to become the empress
should now be on her way to the Nine Rituals Platform?
Ling.
It's your wedding day.
Those veteran officials are still kneeling before the Grand Hall.
I'm afraid that's slightly inappropriate?
Bring the troops with you and stand by.
Ensure that State Elder Qin's sons don't take any drastic actions.
State Elder Qin's death came as quite a shock.
Qing Chen had already broke off with The Mages by the right means.
It would have turned things around.
But now...
Everyone is blaming her again.
That's why I can't let her down all the more.
I can't accept their remonstration.
After the wedding ceremony, I'll see them in person.
Father, please do me a favor.
Die.
Long live the emperor!
I wish to admire the many sceneries of this world with you.
However, so much trouble has been stirred up because of me.
It's our wedding day.
I've promised you that I'll pardon those veteran officials.
You don't have to worry anymore.
You may all rise!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Fireworks in the day.
Celebrate with the people.
When this day is over...
The color of the sky should be totally different by then?
How is the preparation going?
Don't worry, Your Highness.
When His Majesty was in the magic circle of The Mages
the ice poison of Snow Blade Mountain and fire poison of the Sea of Flames
already seeped into His Majesty's body.
We had prepared a generous gift for him far in advance.
Exactly.
It's the smoke from the fireworks.
Emperor Emeritus arrives!
Something is wrong... An unexpected misfortune.
The smoke is poisonous.
Go!
Protect my father!
Father!
Well done.
You snatched the throne from me.
Listen up.
Anyone can have this throne.
But you. You're not fit to have it.
Even till now...
I do still regard you as my own father.
That's because you didn't get to kill me.
Yuan Ling...
You resemble me the most.
You'd sacrifice your life and the throne just for a woman.
I didn't kill you...
It's because I still miss those years of kinship between us.
Today...
I'll help Yuan Zhan fulfill his ambition.
Yuan Ling, do you know that
your greatest weakness lies in your kindness?
How could you be able to tackle Yuan Zhan?
It's just that in my dream...
The one I so often dreamed of in which I am killed by my son...
It's now actually induced by Yuan Zhan...
Perhaps...
This is fate.
Don't...
Bear this in mind.
My son is far more ruthless than you!
Father, don't! Don't!
Yuan Ling usurped the throne and killed his father!
He defied the ancestral law!
He appointed the Grand Sorceress as his empress!
So as to rectify the lineage of the imperial family
I will get rid of this traitor on behalf of everyone in the world!
You asked Father for a favor.
You had this planned all along.
Exactly.
Do you know that I am able to be here today because of my dear sister-in-law?
Why would you say so?
Do you remember that you've nursed the 12 Rare Flowers of The Mages
back to life one by one for me?
If it weren't for the spiritual powers of those rare flowers
how could I have someone break the spell
that concealed your powers of the Grand Sorceress?
It was you...
You've been secretly fostering the dark sorceresses.
You used them to break the spell on me.
They also came up with that poison today to cause delusions.
You are indeed clever.
It's a pity that you just realized it now.
It's already too late.
Will you follow me even in death?
Should you survive, I'll live.
Should you die...
I'll follow you in death.
Fine.
I'll fulfill your wish today!
Elder!
Senior Xi Xie entrusted you to me before he passed away.
I hope that I'm not too late.
According to the promise made
The Mages are not to interfere with affairs of the imperial family.
Chief Elder.
How dare you go back on your words?
Prince Zhan plotted to take over the reign as the new emperor.
You scheme to overthrow the emperor.
How is that keeping your word?
The dark sorceresses came prepared and trained in forbidden powers.
The consequences are dire should we take them head on.
Sacred Pebbles of Nine Transformations is The Mages' holy treasure.
Although you've parted with The Mages, your destiny can't be denied.
The Magic Circle of Nine Transformations can reset the universe
and only the Grand Sorceress is able to initiate it.
Elder...
You want me to initiate the Magic Circle of Nine Transformations?
Great Wei must not fall into the hands of dark sorcery!
This is the only way to stop the calamities!
Qing Chen, don't act recklessly.
Winners take all!
My brother usurped the throne!
Anyone could kill him for that!
Attack!
We're running out of time!
Qing Chen!
In the end, I am still the Grand Sorceress of The Mages.
I could never become a woman of the imperial family.
Now...
Only by initiating the Magic Circle of Nine Transformations
could I change all that has happened.
If I were given another chance...
I'd never let you fall in love with me.
Nor will I allow myself to ruin your reign.
This time...
Forget me.
