[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 53]
- Faster! - Hurry up!
Quickly!
Hold your positions!
Your Highness, Prince of Luling is dead.
Great Liang's army has fallen apart.
Their troops have now retreated from the ancient ruins.
Fortunately, Prince Ling arrived in time.
Otherwise, we don't know how long we could fend them off on our own.
Mukesha led his army to attack Taoyang City.
I wonder how they are doing over there.
Convey my orders. Get the army ready.
We'll head back to Taoyang City tomorrow.
- Yes! - Yes!
Who knew that fighting on the battlefield isn't as simple as I thought?
The situation changes by the minute.
It's been tough on you all these years.
All that I seek in life is to spend my days reading
and roaming the world in books.
Hao, did you volunteer to deliver the rations in hope of
staying away from the power struggle in politics?
If we take back Taoyang City in this battle
could you fulfill a wish of mine, Ling?
I have made up my mind.
Hao, rest assured.
Here! Quickly!
Here!
- Fortify the gates! - Yes!
Safeguard Taoyang City!
Faster!
Quickly!
Fortify the gates!
Quickly!
Hold the gates! Faster!
Go! Go!
Quickly!
Che, how is it out there?
Che...
We won't be able to defend Taoyang City.
Mukesha is after all from A-Chai Tribe.
Even if he breaks in, he won't go on a massacre.
Since we can't fend them off, why don't we retreat first?
We'll meet up with Ling and discuss what to do next.
You want me to give Taoyang City up?
"The enemies attack fiercely and we can't fight against them."
"Retreat and avoid certain defeat in battle."
"It's a turning point in victory." (36 Stratagems)
You're well read in military strategies so you should understand this theory.
As long as we can keep Black Armor Army intact
we'll have a chance to turn the tables.
You have a point.
I'll check on the situation and then make a decision.
Your Highness, Prince Ming is here!
Hao, Ling.
It's been a long time.
How have you been?
Ming, you're actually still alive?
Luan Fei died because of you but you--
You're totally fine?
It seems that Ling hasn't had the time to tell you yet.
You're right. I was very lucky.
As for Luan Fei... In history, all beautiful women die young.
She brought it upon herself.
- What has it got to do with me? - You--
You might be able to make excuses for Luan Fei's death
but do you have nothing to do with harming Qing Chen and The Mages?
Ling, since you bring this matter up, I'll get straight to the point.
Ling, you colluded with The Mages with the intention to seize the throne.
I've come here to kill you to rid the imperial family of its traitor!
Speaking of ridding our family of its traitor
you conspired with dark sorceresses to commit all sorts of crimes.
You'll be the first one that Father will get rid of.
Father has always been heartless.
You and I are nothing more than pawns to him.
Right now, we could only rely on ourselves and may the winner take all!
Once I head back to Great Wei with your heads
I'll see what else he has to say!
I never thought that you were so vicious.
So much has happened and yet you still won't correct your ways?
Back then, when Xian Wu died
which of you stood up to speak up for her?
My mother...
She was killed by your mother.
I've come today to avenge them both!
Ling, it seems that you've found out about everything?
How much do you know about what your mother has done?
She plotted on her own and destroyed the Meandering Skies!
Ling, you and that Grand Sorceress should be arch enemies
but what has it got to do with me?
Compared to Ling, I'm the real prince of Great Wei!
As for you...
You're just a shameless posthumous son!
You're a bastard!
What nonsense are you talking about?
Have you gone crazy?
Qin Zhan, Zhang Shu.
Escort Prince Hao out of here.
- Ling! - Escort him out of here!
Don't even dream of leaving.
None of you will survive!
Protect His Highness!
Consort Lian never would have thought that
her son would be killed by dark sorcery.
I've been waiting and scheming so long for this day.
I've wanted to avenge Xian Wu!
Stop mentioning Xian Wu and the empress.
You're only doing all this for your own desires.
You claim to be doing all this to avenge Xian Wu.
But you're actually only doing so to become heir apparent?
Nonsense!
Today, I will have Consort Lian suffer the agony of losing her son!
Xian Wu, I'm coming to see you.
Here I come...
Archers, stand by!
Fire!
Stay away from the gates!
Watch out!
I didn't expect your foresight to be real!
Don't worry about me. Leave now!
Be careful!
Who would have known that you're actually a sorceress?
I'll have you killed today!
Qing Chen, run!
Look after Ling for me...
And Cai Qian!
Qing Chen...
However powerful they might be, they can't escape from Taoyang City.
Search!
Your Highness, Mukesha's men has taken over Taoyang City!
Qing Chen and Prince Che can't be found!
I've come late after all.
Should we report this to Prince Ling?
We mustn't!
Prince Ling is now focused on tackling Liang State's army.
We can't distract him.
I intend to enter the city alone.
Your Highness, that's too dangerous!
I'm the princess of A-Chai Tribe.
They wouldn't dare to hurt me.
Right now, the enemies are already in the city.
We could only outwit them but not take them head on.
But you're going in alone--
No buts!
This is the only solution.
A-Chai Tribe's soldiers, listen up!
Without my orders, no one is to take any actions.
Yes!
Get lost!
Mukesha!
Didn't you promise me not to join forces with Liang State?
I did.
Why did you go back on your word and attacked Taoyang City?
I did promise you that I'd withdraw my troops and let Yuan Hao off.
I never promised you that I wouldn't attack Taoyang City.
Are you forcing me to succumb to you?
Why would I force you?
The entire Taoyang City is my engagement gift to you.
Is it good enough?
Your engagement gift...
It's the blood-stained Taoyang City.
Are you not scared of retribution?
I'm so scared.
Taoyang City belongs to A-Chai Tribe.
What have I done wrong in taking it back?
In this world...
If I were to say...
My feelings for you come in second...
No one would dare claim to be first.
All right.
This engagement gift...
I accept it.
You mean it?
Yes.
- But on two conditions-- - Say it.
Be kind to the soldiers of Black Armor Army who are captured.
Retreat from Taoyang City for the time being.
After we're married, you'll then take over Taoyang City honorably
as the prince consort of A-Chai Tribe.
You want me to retreat from Taoyang City?
Exactly.
The man I marry must be a hero praised my millions of people.
I'd never succumb to a bandit and traitor!
Sure.
I'll do as you asked.
Why should it matter that I have to retreat from Taoyang City?
It's just... When will I be able to marry Your Highness?
In three days.
In three days...
He's severely wounded.
It seems that it will take some time for him to recover.
The former emperor was killed by Yuan An.
Hao is now so badly injured.
Fratricide...
Is this the sick fate of those born to the imperial family?
Your Highness, I've come today as I have matters to inform you.
Mister Mo, do tell.
We can confirm that your mother, Consort Lian
is the true Chief Elder of dark sorcery, Ding Shui.
Her ultimate goal is to make use of Qing Chen
to collect all Sacred Pebbles of Nine Transformations.
She's the only one who knows where The Obsidian is.
She wishes to avenge the former emperor.
Just like Qing Chen...
She also wishes to change the outcome.
However, she's used dark sorcery and harmed innocent lives.
It will eventually lead to great disaster.
As for Qing Chen, if she fails to return to her original timeline
she will surely die.
You're the only one who can stop her.
Don't worry.
Even if I have to risk my life, I will stop her.
- Ling. - Your Highness.
Mister Mo.
What brings you here?
I'm here on Father's orders to escort Hao back to the capital safely.
Where's Hao?
How did Hao end up like this?
Could it be... Yuan Ming again?
Ming is dead.
Hao had wanted to use this opportunity to distance himself away from politics
and go traveling in all places.
Who knew that he couldn't fulfill his wish?
Ling, I understand what you mean.
Should Hao regain consciousness, I'll surely fulfill his wish.
I was told to take over Ling's military authority.
Yet under such circumstances, it's best that I keep quiet for now.
Report! Your Highness, Taoyang City has been taken!
It seems that I've underestimated Mukesha.
How are Qing Chen and Prince Che now?
Prince Che is badly wounded.
- He and Miss Qing Chen are missing. - What?
Princess Duo Xia has announced that she's severed all ties with Prince Ling.
She'll marry Mukesha in three days.
That's impossible.
Duo Xia wouldn't do that.
Something must have happened.
I'll rush back to Taoyang City first.
Ling, don't worry.
Leave this place to me.
You must find Qing Chen and Che.
This place will be safe for now.
I've used the power of The Mages to conceal this place.
The enemies can't find us easily.
How is Prince Che?
Qing Chen!
You mustn't!
You can't wield more spiritual powers.
Qing Chen!
Wouldn't this just make your injury even worse?
Che is too severely wounded.
His pulse is nearly gone.
I can't let him die saving me.
I once saw Che in grave danger in my foresight.
That was why I rushed all the way here.
I never thought that I wouldn't be able to prevent it.
Under such circumstances, I have to use the Lunar Corona Pebble.
You mustn't!
The Lunar Corona Pebble will only cause you more harm.
Do you wish to die?
Che risked his life to save me.
How can I watch him die because of me?
When you wielded your spiritual powers, you were already very frail.
If you use more of it again, the consequences will be dire!
The Lunar Corona Pebble has been entrusted to you by my mentor.
It isn't so that you can sacrifice your life to save another.
It is to have you take over The Mages.
Right now, other than the Lunar Corona Pebble
there's no other way to save him.
I have to stop this tragedy from happening.
If you stop this from turning into a tragedy, what about you?
What about The Mages?
In order to save the both of us, my mentor died being shot to death.
But you now tell me that you'd use your life to save Prince Che?
I'd never forget the responsibilities that Elder Tao Yao entrusted to me.
But apart from keeping myself alive, I also want Che to survive.
However, you might not know that by using the Lunar Corona Pebble to save him
all the spiritual powers in it could be used up.
One small mistake and the sacred pebble will backfire at you.
Your current physical state can't endure the backfire of its power.
With your assistance...
It can surely lower whatever risk there is.
No, Qing Chen.
You can't take any more risks.
Not all hope is lost.
Even if it will take us six to eight hours
we have to come up with a way.
For these couple of days
I'll use spiritual powers to protect Prince Che's heart.
We will surely have a way to save him.
No matter what, I can't let Che die because of me.
Your Highness!
What are you so frantic early in the morning?
There's news from the border.
Mukesha has taken over Taoyang City with the army of A-Chai Tribe.
Princess Consort Ling, Duo Xia has announced to the world
that she is divorcing Prince Ling to marry Mukesha instead.
What?
How could this have happened?
Back then, Princess Duo Xia came all the way here
determined to become Princess Consort Ling.
Now that she has fulfilled her wish
why would she discredit her own country by acting in such bad faith?
There must be something amiss.
- Sun Shi. - Present.
Send someone to verify the news.
Not one detail is to be left out.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Who guarded Taoyang City?
It's said that Prince Ling led his troops to rescue Prince Hao.
Prince Che was guarding the city.
What?
What happened to Prince Che?
Prince Che is severely wounded.
His whereabouts are yet to be found.
Your Majesty, Prince Che is blessed with good fortune.
He can surely turn mishap into blessings and return safely.
Send out our men right now to search for Prince Che!
Dead or alive, bring him back!
They must bring Che back to me even if they flip Taoyang City upside down!
Yes, Your Majesty.
What else is it?
Your Majesty!
When Prince Ling went to rescue Prince Hao
both Prince Hao and Prince Ming...
- They-- - What happened to them?
They both died!
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty...
You really don't wish to inherit my throne?
You left me with the determination to sacrifice your life.
Why didn't you leave yourself a fallback?
Why didn't you leave me some leeway as well?
Now that you're gone...
How is this sharing my burdens?
This is obviously killing me.
Your Majesty, my condolences!
It's been so many years now.
I've taken over my territory.
I've secured my sovereignty.
I've protected my people.
But in the end, I couldn't even protect my sons.
Hao...
Ji...
Xi...
And Ming...
You're all so ruthless.
One by one...
They have all left me.
[Yuan Hao's Grave]
