[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 35]
Your Highness.
Hao.
Hao, you've finally woken up.
What am I doing here?
I remember...
I took the drug that Luan Fei gave me.
Where's Luan Fei?
Even now, you're still thinking about her?
Where exactly is Luan Fei?
What actually happened then?
Hao, come with me.
You'll understand everything once you see Luan Fei.
You'd already thought of this plan?
Do you think that they will let us off if you do so?
It's true that they won't.
But I've never thought of leaving with you.
If I'm dead...
Would you save me a spot in here?
You'd also remember me like you remember Xian Wu.
Am I right?
I have ways to tackle them without having you die for it.
It's a pity.
I couldn't fulfill your wish.
Come with me!
This place is so heavily guarded.
You've really had it all planned out.
Ming, your actions have now been made known to everyone.
You'd better come back with us to the palace
and ask Father for forgiveness.
You want to take credit for my arrest and ask Father for rewards?
How could I let you have it so easily?
You'd betray your siblings for your personal interests.
But not everyone is like you!
Don't make yourself sound so virtuous.
I've only done what you desire but were afraid to do!
Ming!
Let Luan Fei off.
You shouldn't implicate her into the rivalry between us.
Why don't you ask her if she's willing to leave me?
Whatever might have happened...
You are still who you are to me.
As long as you're willing to come back to me
I can overlook everything.
If I go back with Your Highness, could you spare Prince Ming's life?
The gods determine one's victory.
Life is in the hands of destiny.
I don't need any of you to have a say in my life!
Your Highness!
I know that you have only loved Xian Wu.
I only ask one favor of you.
I hope that you can stay alive.
If Xian Wu is watching over you, she must have wanted the same for you.
However, after Xian Wu's death, my heart is as good as dead.
- Luan Fei! - Crown Prince!
Could you please let Prince Ming go?
Everything that he has done...
I can no longer have a say in it.
But I can promise you...
I will plead Father for mercy on his behalf.
Thank you, Your Highness!
Your Highness...
I'm sorry.
I don't need your apology.
Throughout it all, I did everything willingly.
I thank Your Highness for such a deep devotion.
If there's a next life...
I will be sure to repay your kindness twice as much.
I won't let you down again...
Luan Fei! Luan Fei!
Luan Fei!
Luan Fei! Why would you do this? Why?
- Luan Fei... - Qing Chen...
Luan Fei, why are you so silly?
Since that man can't be mine to love...
I also can't disappoint the man who loves me...
Perhaps, only death is my best choice.
But I... I've never blamed you.
Why do you have to force yourself into a dead end?
Your Highness...
I'm not worthy of your affection.
But it's lovely to die in your arms.
At least...
It's warm.
Brother-in-law...
How I wish I had talked you out of all this when Xian Wu died...
Once you go astray, you can never head back...
Your Highness...
I have disappointed you the most.
I don't ask for you to forgive me...
All I ask for is to repay you in my next life.
I don't want you to repay me in your next life.
I just want you alive and well in this lifetime.
Qing Chen...
If you still care for our kinship...
Please agree to a request of mine.
All right, tell me. I'm listening.
Try and keep Crown Prince safe.
I will.
Luan Fei! Luan Fei!
Luan Fei!
After the autumnal military drill, Prince Ji lost his life.
Crown Prince eloped.
Luan Fei died for love.
Now are you content?
Why did you have to force her into a dead end?
Actually...
I already knew of your relationship with her.
But I really loved her.
That's why I was willing to give up everything for her
just so that one day, she would truly fall for me.
If you wanted to be the crown prince, I can give it up to you.
But why must you have her dead?
Now that Luan Fei is dead, don't you wish to fulfill her wish?
Throughout my life...
I hated the most to be manipulated.
Who knew...
I'd come to such an end?
Ming!
Only if I'm dead can the secrets of the past be concealed.
The imperial family's game of death...
It would then continue.
One day...
I'll make you regret what you did!
Don't go after them!
All that has happened...
It is entirely my fault.
I had wanted to give up my position as Crown Prince to fulfill their wish.
Since I didn't manage to do so
we should just let them move on to the other world peacefully.
Don't worry.
I won't kill myself.
It's because...
Staying alive is my greatest punishment.
Your Highness, the envoy of Wei State seeks audience.
An envoy?
He's quite bold to visit our military camp at such a time.
Who is he?
He's Wei State's 7th prince, Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan?
Prince Zhan, I heard that you visited A-Chai Tribe as an envoy some time ago
to propose a marital bond.
Who would have known that Great Wei is in need of a woman to protect the state?
That was but a trivial matter.
Who knew that Your Highness would pay such attention to it?
Could it be that Liang State deployed your army to Young Prefecture
for fear of this marital bond?
If this marital bond is established, how would that make Great Liang look?
Once this marital bond is sealed, I'll launch war upon the city.
Don't blame me for not informing you in advance.
According to what I know
Your Highness has brought a mere 50,000 soldiers this time.
However, we have 80,000 men guarding Yong Prefecture.
If you really wish to wage war upon us, do give it a go.
Prince Zhan, are you here to challenge me to war?
No, I'm here to remind you that the marital bond
between Great Wei and A-Chai Tribe is yet decided.
However, should Liang State choose to attack us
you're making us join forces with A-Chai Tribe.
So what if you tie the marital bond?
I don't care about it at all!
Great Wei has no fear of threats from any state.
Nor do we turn away any friendship.
Therefore, be it war or peace...
Your Highness should reconsider.
What do you mean by that?
Your Highness is a clever man.
I'm sure you wouldn't wish to see another state benefit from the conflict?
Prince Zhan, who will be in the conflict and who will benefit from it?
This depends on the choice that you make.
I'll be waiting to hear from you in Yong City.
However, here's a word of advice.
Your Highness, be sure to consider it very carefully
before you make a decision.
I've invested 20-some years in mentoring you
and this is what you have to say in return?
You're too foolish and blunt to inherit the throne?
The sovereignty and family estate are nothing compared to a woman?
Where's Luan Fei?
Father, Luan Fei has taken her life as an apology for her sins.
As for Ming...
He's fallen off the cliff.
Your Majesty.
Here, Your Majesty.
Here.
Your Majesty, calm down...
Ming...
He's dead?
Father, this is entirely my fault.
Please mind your health.
In your mind...
Do you still regard me as your father?
All that you have done...
Are you trying to vex me to death?
I've been unfilial.
I've failed our ancestors and the nation.
Father, please consent to my request.
You want me to consent to it?
What would you have me consent to?
You had eloped with an imperial female official?
You had your brother killed.
You have disgraced me!
Father...
This is all my fault.
If it weren't that I was the heir apparent
Ming and Luan Fei wouldn't have died.
Even if Father wishes to condemn me to death
it is only reasonable.
Your Majesty, Crown Prince shouldn't be held entirely responsible for this.
Prince Ming instigated Luan Fei to deliberately seduce Crown Prince.
Hence, His Highness made such a huge blunder.
Your Majesty, please be a fair judge of it.
Feng Yan.
Present.
You really do have quite a few good daughters.
How about this?
Why don't Feng family take over my sovereignty instead?
Your Majesty, I dare not!
I'm willing to give it my all for Your Majesty and your sovereignty!
I could sacrifice my life for it willingly!
I want all of you listen up.
As long as I'm around, as long as I'm alive
I won't allow you to do as you please.
This position...
Whoever I choose to appoint it to or not appoint it to
it's not up to any of you to plot and scheme for it!
Even if one day, one of you gets to take this position
it's also because I gave it to you.
Since I'm the one who gives it to you
I can take it back anytime.
Write up my imperial decree.
Since Crown Prince took the position of heir apparent in East Palace
he has failed to live up to our ancestral benevolence
disobeyed my teachings, behaved wantonly and promiscuously.
Criticisms can't be avoided.
From this day forth, he's abolished and demoted to a commoner.
He is to reflect on his ways in East Palace.
Father! Hao had only acted in a moment's folly.
Moreover, he was set up for it.
If he is to be abolished because of this matter
it might bring about criticisms.
I am the emperor of Great Wei.
This is my decision.
Do I need you to teach me what to do?
Father, you're the emperor.
I am your subject and son.
As your son and subject, it's my duty to share your burdens.
However, if you choose to abolish Hao because of this matter
it's not what a son and subject should agree upon.
I concur. Father, please reconsider.
Father, please reconsider.
Ling, Che. Don't bother pleading on my behalf.
I accept the decree.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Where's the commander of the Imperial Army, Zhang Shu?
Father, Zhang Shu was just following my orders.
He didn't know what was going on.
Father, please spare his life.
I entrusted the safety of the palace precincts to him
but he acted as he wished.
Convey my decree.
Strip Zhang Shu of his position as the Imperial Army's commander.
From this day forth, he is to guard and tidy East Palace.
Yes.
Your Highness, as you have expected
Xiao Xu has come to visit in person.
- Invite him in. - Yes.
I've come personally to tell Prince Zhan of a matter.
Your Highness can get straight to the point.
Do you know that I learned of the marital bond
between Wei State and A-Chai State
because I was specially informed by those from A-Chai Tribe?
It seems that Wei State and A-Chai Tribe aren't as friendly as it appears to be.
That's of no importance.
I already told you.
As long as the other party is sincere
Great Wei won't turn down an alliance with a powerful state.
Between A-Chai Tribe and Liang State
which do you think we would choose?
This is only Prince Zhan's opinion.
Since I've come on behalf of my father, my opinion is that of Great Wei's.
Your Highness can be assured of it.
If Great Liang collaborates with Wei State
how will Wei State handle A-Chai Tribe?
That depends on how we collaborate.
What sort of collaboration do you seek, Your Highness?
If Your Highness is truly sincere about collaborating with us
why don't you hold back your troops?
I'll be sure to offer you a satisfactory answer in days.
Sure.
I'll be waiting to hear from Prince Zhan then.
Crown Prince's case...
It's considered concluded now.
I just never expected Ming to end so badly.
Has it occurred to you that
the abolishment of Crown Prince is just the beginning?
Perhaps, much more would happen after this?
Let's hope that Ming's death brings an end to all of it.
I suddenly recall that I need to handle a matter at Muyuan Hospital.
I'll get going now.
Why would this happen?
Shouldn't two petals fall off?
Could it be that one of them is still alive?
Luan Fei...
Prince Ming...
It could only be Prince Ming...
I did see her around here.
Where has she gone?
The backfiring of powers in this timeline is affecting you more and more.
This means that the Magic Circle of Nine Transformations is also badly damaged.
If this continues, the consequences will be dire.
I'm all right.
I can still hold on.
However, you mustn't let Yuan Ling know of this.
What else do you still intend to do?
You must understand that there's not much time left for you!
Even if you do carry out your plan successfully
you'll disappear forever in this time and space
if you don't make it back to your original universe in time.
You'll then fall into the Void Zone, which is even worse than death.
It's all out of my control now.
I cherish each and every day that I have left.
I'll stay by his side a day at a time for as long as it lasts.
Once my mission is accomplished and he really forgets me then
that is for the best.
Be it for him or me, we won't suffer too much.
Why would you insist on going through a game of imminent death?
He once overcame the Magic Circle of Blades and Flames with me.
He went against everyone's objections to promise a life with me.
In order to marry me
he nearly died in the hands of rebels on the Nine Rituals Platform.
All that had happened between us...
How could I forget any of that?
Thank you for helping me.
I have to leave now.
Your Highness, Heavenly Capital is right ahead of us.
Would you like to head back to the manor or report back first?
Please instruct me.
Make a detour to the inn first.
I have to meet up with Princess Duo Xia first.
Yes.
It came to such an end that my last daughter was also killed.
It's all because of that sorceress in your manor who messed up our plans.
We should wrap up this matter and get rid of her in time!
It's now the time to do so.
However, you must bear in mind that she is no ordinary sorceress.
She is the Grand Sorceress of the Meandering Skies.
Prince Zhan.
I'd like to speak with Your Highness in private.
I wonder if that is fine with you?
Prince Zhan seems travel-worn so you must have just returned from a trip?
I was sent on a mission outside Yong City
to meet Liang State's Prince of Luling, Xiao Xu.
We discussed forming an alliance between our states.
Your Highness should at least offer me a cup of tea?
What Your Highness just said has shocked me.
Do excuse my behavior.
It's only natural that Your Highness finds it shocking.
However, Liang State's army is now pressing on our border.
I don't wish for us to spend too much time on speculations.
Not do I wish for Your Highness to learn of this matter from someone else
and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Your Highness... is just trying to stall time?
Your Highness truly is experienced in warfare.
You figured it out right away.
During my visit to Liang State's military camp, Xiao Xu told me
Liang State learned of our pending marital bond
because someone from A-Chai Tribe has leaked the information.
They are even well aware of your father's illness.
Your Highness, do you know about that?
Is Your Highness suspecting me?
Definitely not.
The marital bond has been hindered time after time.
Yet Your Highness never gave up.
Others might not know of your sincerity but I know it all too well.
Xiao Xu might have the intention to drive a wedge between us
but we must also take precaution.
It seems that Your Highness doesn't believe in Xiao Xu's words.
I surely do not.
However, it might not be so for the others.
Just in case, I won't report this information to my father yet.
However, do you know how to handle this situation, Your Highness?
I thank Your Highness for the reminder.
If what Your Highness said is true that the issue lies in A-Chai Tribe
I'll be sure to give you a satisfactory answer.
That's all for the best.
I'll head back now.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Prince Ling.
How have you been these days?
All is well.
Why would you ask me so?
I saw that you left in such a hurry that day.
I was worried that you might get into an accident so I followed you.
But I ended up finding this.
Are you keeping anything from me?
I don't know that palace too well.
I happened to get lost in it.
If I knew, I'd have asked you to walk me home.
If you don't wish to tell me, I--
Be careful.
I'll get going.
This is the route I took for the peace negotiation with Liang State.
The marital bond between Princess Duo Xia and Great Wei
should only be known to both states.
However, at such a crucial time
why would Liang State be informed of our pending marital alliance?
It could only be that someone from A-Chai Tribe
wishes to sabotage this alliance.
Great Wei and A-Chai Tribe are interdependent.
Should A-Chai Tribe be subjugated, Great Wei shall surely perish as well.
Apart from tying the marital bond
is there any other way I could help A-Chai Tribe?
Ling, what choice will you make?
We must assist A-Chai Tribe.
But I really don't wish to do so by tying the marital bond.
Ling, you must plan for this in advance.
Once I report back to the palace, Father would be sure to ask me
and I'd advise Father to form an alliance with A-Chai Tribe.
I'm afraid by then
Father will surely make you express your opinion on the marital bond.
Elder.
Why aren't you in Muyuan Hospital?
What brings you back here?
Elder, according to Qing Chen's prediction
Prince Ming might still be alive.
He might try to harm The Mages.
She asks that you take precautions quickly.
He's actually still alive?
If he is still alive, he'd surely seek revenge.
This concerns the safety of the Meandering Skies
so we mustn't overlook it.
Convey my orders.
Search for Prince Ming in full force and patrol the grounds carefully.
Yes, Elder.
Your Majesty, please take your medication.
Greetings, Father.
Zhan, you've returned?
Father, what is the matter?
Have you summoned the imperial physician?
I don't want to hear those physicians nagging at me.
Those useless fools.
They always use those medications to fool me.
Father, don't stay angry at them.
The imperial physicians are usually quite diligent.
I'll go and check on them another day.
I'll get them to prescribe another medication.
After all, Father's health matters the most.
Of my many sons, you're the least worrying one.
Unlike my other unfilial sons.
Come here.
Father, I've already heard of it.
Hao is actually--
Don't bring him up.
I don't wish to hear about it.
Tell me.
Have you met Prince of Luling, Xiao Xu?
I did. It is as Father had said.
Liang State suddenly deployed their troops here
because they heard of our pending marital bond with A-Chai Tribe.
Hence, they wanted to put some pressure on us.
That's because they are scared.
It's because they are scared that they wish to sabotage it.
Father is absolutely right.
However, Liang State has great military powers.
If we are to take them head-on
I'm afraid that Great Wei would also suffer great losses.
What is your plan?
I've invited Xiao Xu to the capital for a peace negotiation.
Since Great Wei can form an alliance with A-Chai Tribe
we could also do so with Liang State.
It's down to the sincerity of the other two states now.
What then?
Princess Duo Xia is already here in Great Wei.
Unless...
Would you have me go back on my words?
Definitely not.
Our faith and good will to our ally must not be forsaken.
But we must also devise a strategy against our enemy.
Now that Liang State's army is pressing on our border
we'd stall some time while we wait for Xiao Xu to negotiate with us.
We can't possibly start a war right away.
We must make use of this time to form an alliance with A-Chai Tribe.
Once both states have formed an alliance
would we still fear a mere Liang State?
That means...
You have already chosen A-Chai Tribe in my stead?
I--
I wouldn't dare do so.
I remember Father once said that
to form an alliance with Liang State is as good as asking a tiger for its skin.
I hope that Father could explain explicitly.
I don't mean it as a reproach.
Do one thing under cover of another.
You did very well.
You've lived up to my previous mentoring.
I still do act quite recklessly at times.
Father, please do mentor me.
I'll leave this matter entirely to you.
Hold off Xiao Xu.
Do what you can to speed up Duo Xia's marriage in Great Wei.
I understand.
