[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 50]
Zhan, you can't keep kneeling out here.
We have to come up with another plan.
You have a way... to save Qing Chen?
Please.
Have you heard from Elder Mo?
Elder, we haven't heard from them.
Get everyone to stay alert.
Should anything go wrong, we must go to their aid in time.
Yes.
Li, I didn't know that you were in contact with The Mages.
Elder Tao Yao's first disciple, Ming Yan is also a sorceress.
Like you, I also have someone of The Mages that I wish to protect.
The imperial family has acted in bad faith and wronged The Mages.
Your Highness need not blame yourself for it.
Qing Chen is the Grand Sorceress of The Mages.
Since she trusts you, so will I.
Under such circumstances
I don't have to keep this from you anymore.
My tribesmen and I have sneaked into Heaven Capital this time
to risk it all to rescue Qing Chen and Elder Mo.
I hope Your Highness will help us.
I'm willing to do anything to save Qing Chen at all costs.
However, I think that my father has made up his mind.
I'm afraid that the chances are slim.
Elder, may I ask if you have a feasible plan in mind?
As of now, we could only break into the Celestial Dungeon at night.
All right, I'll see to that and make arrangements soon.
I'll go with you.
Zhan. Elder Tao Yao.
I have a plan that could get the both of them out safely.
But Zhan, you might have to suffer a bit for this plan.
Greetings, Father!
Get up and speak.
Thank you, Father.
Li, it's so late. Why haven't you gone to bed yet?
Isn't Father also still awake at such a late hour?
I'm old now.
I sleep much less.
I remember Che once told me that when my mother was alive
she would brew a cup of calming tea for you before bed every night.
Is that so, Father?
That's right.
Your mother was from a family of doctors.
She had tried all sorts of herbs.
I had just succeeded the throne and was occupied with state affairs.
I couldn't sleep well at night.
Even the imperial physicians couldn't do much about it.
Fortunately, your mother's calming tea worked best on me.
It's a pity that she passed away so young.
I could never get to have the calming tea she brewed for me anymore.
Che said that he was craving for some munchies one time
and secretly drank a big bowl of the calming tea.
He didn't expect to then sleep a whole night and day away?
Exactly! I remember that.
Your mother was terrified.
She thought that he was down with some strange illness
until she realized that he had the tea secretly.
She told me about it the next day as a joke.
Father, forgive me for being so slow-witted.
I wasn't conscious then so
I couldn't learn how to make my mother's calming tea.
Now, I can only massage Father's legs and shoulders.
That should make up for the bowl of calming tea Che drank.
Among all my sons, you're the one who knows how to cheer me up the most.
Only if Father is healthy and happy
could you govern Great Wei well.
That's the blessing of our people.
You should come to the palace to chat with me more often.
Get up.
As long as it pleases Father, you can summon me over anytime.
Li, why have you come over tonight to see me?
Father, can I only come to see you if there's something to discuss?
Is it not for the sake of Feng Qing Chen?
Nothing can escape Father's bright eyes.
A father knows his son best.
Could I not figure out what you have on your mind?
However, if you're here to plead for her, you can save your breath.
The Mages have caused great harm and chaos to the world.
I have made up my mind not to condone them.
Father is absolutely right!
I also know that The Mages have stirred up great trouble.
As a sorceress, Qing Chen shouldn't be spared.
How would I dare to go against the world to plead for her?
You're still quite sensible.
So what brings you here tonight?
I...
I wish to see her one last time.
See her one last time?
I didn't know of her true identity so we had gotten friendly over time.
She had once offered me some help.
Now that she's going to be executed soon
I've prepared some light wine to see her off one last time.
It's a way to show my appreciation.
Besides, the saints once said
"A drop of water in need shall be returned with a fountain."
If I'm ungrateful and fail to repay her kindness
how am I fit to be the prince of Great Wei?
Nor can I be the role model of our people.
Am I right, Father?
Qing Chen is quick-witted, clever, and skilled in medicine.
She also helped shared some of my burdens.
If it weren't that she's a sorceress
I would also admire her greatly.
It's such a pity that she happens to be a sorceress.
Don't worry, Father!
I'm only going to visit my old friend, Qing Chen.
Not Qing Chen the sorceress.
All right.
Go ahead.
Thank you, Father!
Your Highnesses, His Majesty has given orders
that no one is allowed in.
Open your eyes wide and take a good look at this.
This is the gold badge that Father bestowed to me.
Father has ordered us to head in there to speak to that sorceress.
Step aside.
It's already very late.
I hope that Your Highnesses won't stay long.
We know what to do.
You need not worry about it.
We're just carrying out our duties.
Your Highnesses, please don't blame us.
Those in the Celestial Dungeon are all vicious felons.
It's best for us to escort you in?
It's not necessary.
We've been ordered to interrogate that sorceress in private.
You should just wait out here.
There are numerous security measures in the Celestial Dungeon.
Are you worried that a severely wounded prisoner could escape from here?
If the Celestial Dungeon can't even keep a badly wounded prisoner locked up
could it be that the guards aren't up to snuff and are quite negligent?
Your Highness shouldn't worry too much.
If that is so, we will be waiting out here.
I hope that Your Highnesses will come back out here soon.
Qing Chen!
- Qing Chen, your injuries-- - What are you doing here?
If His Majesty learns that you're here
it would prove you guilty of colluding with The Mages.
- Leave now! - Qing Chen!
Listen to me.
I have a way to get out of this unscathed.
The most pressing matter at hand is to get you and Mister Mo
out of the Celestial Dungeon.
Tomorrow, my father will have you both killed.
- Your Highness. - Mister Mo.
I've pleaded with Father for a gold badge so I came with Zhan.
Do you know Shape Shifting?
By using Shape Shifting, we can get you and Elder Mo out of here.
We'll swap the both of you over with the both of us.
As princes, even if Father discovers this trick
he wouldn't do anything to us.
Swap us over?
This won't do.
If His Majesty finds out about this, the consequences are dire!
Qing Chen!
I can only set my mind at ease if you are safe.
Elder Tao Yao is waiting for you outside.
Once you leave the palace, head to A-Chai Tribe immediately.
Go to Ling.
With Ling by your side, he won't let anyone hurt you.
Li!
Prince Zhan, what is the matter?
Zhan suddenly feels unwell.
I must bring him home to his manor immediately.
Shouldn't you step aside quickly?
What are you doing?
Should Zhan's health deteriorate, can you bear the consequences?
Will you have me report to Father to have you punished?
Forgive me, Your Highness.
Step aside now.
Yes.
[Emperor Ren Zong of Great Wei's memorial tablet]
Everyone wishes to run away...
You can run away but you can't run away all your life.
Now... I'll send you off on your way personally.
This won't do...
Once Prince Zhan and Prince Li are discovered
His Majesty will surely punish them severely.
You can't head back now.
Qing Chen, both princes went to such a huge effort to rescue us.
Once they are discovered, they can say that they were enchanted by sorcery.
However, if you head back now
one they find you, it will then prove them
guilty of conspiring with The Mages.
Qing Chen, The Mages are now in grave danger.
You'll have to keep yourself safe
because you also carry the great responsibilities of The Mages.
Don't let your emotions get the better of you.
You should believe in Prince Zhan that he's not some reckless and foolish man.
As princes, they certainly have the abilities to protect themselves.
I've acted thoughtlessly.
I only hope that His Majesty still cares for his sons.
Elder Tao Yao and Ming Yan are waiting for us.
Go and meet up with them first.
Although your mentor is no longer in danger
he's quite badly wounded.
I'll go and fetch him before I meet up with all of you.
Sure. Be careful, Elder Mo.
I will.
Your Highness! It's military precinct.
- You can't barge in! - Mukesha!
Step aside if you don't wish to die!
Your Highness, don't make things hard for me.
Get that rebel, Mukesha here to see me.
What are you doing?
You are all to step outside!
Your Highness left and then returned.
Have you carefully reconsidered?
You love speculating what others think.
If so, why don't you make a guess to see if I would stab you?
You won't.
How can you be so sure?
We grew up together.
Whatever you wish or don't wish to do
I could always get it right nearly every time.
This time...
It's no exception.
I am here... to make a deal with you.
Do tell.
Do you really want to marry me?
Why do you have to ask the obvious?
Fine, I can agree to that.
Yuan Ling and I only married each other for our own interests.
No one knows of this better than you do.
You just have to answer me if you wish to make this deal with me.
What are the terms?
Since you said that you know me well
you should know that I've always been proud.
I'd rather die old and alone than marry some ordinary man.
If it is Great Wei you wish for, I can give it to you.
I just need you to retreat from the ancient city
and take back the cities that A-Chai Tribe has lost to Liang State...
Use that as an engagement gift.
I will then marry you.
Sure.
It's a deal.
How is it?
Have you thought it through?
As long as you tell me who the dual stars are
you can redeem your sins.
Since we were once father and daughter
I could still plead on your behalf with His Majesty.
Death is staring at you in the face and you're still so obstinate?
Take her away!
Prince Zhan?
Minister Feng?
What happened?
What are you doing in here?
Who is it?
Why is it so noisy early in the morning?
Prince Li?
Minister... Minister Feng?
What am I doing in the Celestial Dungeon?
What exactly is this about?
Minister, appease your anger!
Both princes came to visit them last night but they left soon after.
We both saw it very clearly!
It was indeed the princes who left from here last night.
It can't be wrong!
Useless scum!
Shouldn't you escort both princes back to the palace to get some rest?
- Yes! - Yes!
How atrocious!
How dare they take them away right under my nose?
What exactly happened?
Li,you go first!
Father, I don't know what happened either.
I went to visit Qing Chen last night and we didn't chat for too long
before Zhan and I returned to our manors.
This morning when I woke up
I found myself in the Celestial Dungeon instead!
Minister Feng saw me there as well.
Zhan, your turn.
Father, as the wardens had seen
after Li and I left the Celestial Dungeon last night
we went back to our own manors to get some rest.
I also couldn't figure out how Li and I ended up
back in the Celestial Dungeon.
Zhan...
I've always had high expectations of you.
You should think carefully.
Don't do anything in a moment's folly.
I have told nothing but the truth.
I wouldn't dare to lie.
Since it is so, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy as a father.
Guards!
Your Majesty!
Escort Prince Zhan and Prince Li back to their respective manors.
Strip them of all duties in the imperial court.
Without my decree, they are not to leave the manor!
Yes!
- Thank you, Father. - Thank you, Father.
Your Majesty, that witch and Mo Bu Ping are both wounded.
They won't be able to run too far.
Would you like me to--
Your Majesty, take care.
I take my leave.
Sun Shi.
Present.
It's rumored that "Dual stars, drastic change."
Do you believe in it?
Your Majesty, I only believe that you're the destined emperor.
I took over as sovereign with my own hands.
How could I give up my throne easily because of a rumor?
So what if the two stars meet?
I won't let them have what they wish for.
Convey my confidential decree.
Send out our men to hunt down Feng Qing Chen at all cost.
Show her no mercy.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Elder Mo.
Elder Xi Xie, Qing Chen has been rescued.
She has gone to meet up with Elder Tao Yao first.
That's great.
How are you feeling?
Could you come along?
I'm fine now.
It's now perilous in the capital.
How about this?
I'll inform Tao Yao and the others to meet us
at Ocean Cliff outside the capital.
All right.
Ocean Cliff?
Senior Xi Xie and Senior Tao Yao, I'll let you have a taste
of what it's like to be separated by death!
[Feng Xian Wu's memorial tablet]
Xian Wu, don't leave me!
Xian Wu, don't leave me...
Don't leave me!
Xian--
Master! You mustn't wield such forbidden powers again!
It will backfire and kill you!
Xian Wu, don't leave me...
I will come with you!
Master!
Master... You mustn't die.
If you die, there's no one else in this world who would remember Xian Wu.
If you're alive, Xian Wu would also be alive.
She would never leave again.
You're right.
If I'm dead, no one else in this world would remember Xian Wu.
The Mages. Outside the capital.
Ocean Cliff.
Master, what happened?
That Grand Sorceress actually managed to escape from the Celestial Dungeon
and she's meeting up with The Mages' Chief Elder at Ocean Cliff.
The Mages are the true culprit behind Xian Wu's death.
Summon everyone.
Tell them that they will not make it back alive!
Mentor, it's Qing Chen.
Qing Chen.
- Qing Chen. - Qing Chen.
Are you all right?
Elder, Ming Yan, I'm sorry to have made you worried.
Why are you here alone?
Where's Elder Mo?
My mentor is wounded.
Mister Mo has gone to fetch my mentor to meet us here.
Elder, we will soon see my mentor.
It's fine as long as you're safe.
I didn't expect the princes to be able to rescue the both of you as planned.
The Celestial Dungeon is heavily guarded.
How did you manage to escape?
Prince Li broke the enchanted spell cast by dark sorcery.
He came with Prince Zhan and used Shape Shifting to swap us out of there.
I see.
It's no wonder that he was so confident about it that day.
Junior Tao Yao, I've already met up with Elder Mo.
It's too dangerous in the capital.
Don't head over here.
Let's meet up at Ocean Cliff.
Since Senior Xi Xie could send a message through his butterfly spirit
it means that his powers have recovered.
Qing Chen, you've been injured by dark sorcery.
Your internal injuries are severe.
You must remember not to wield your powers.
Otherwise, Flame Poison will surge up through your veins
and aim for your heart.
The consequences will be dire.
I never expected Prince Ming to practice dark sorcery.
The dark sorceresses that he commands are not to be underestimated either.
What's even more shocking is that Consort Lian is tied to dark sorcery.
It seems that the Ding Shui who died in the palace
was but a trick of smoke and mirrors.
Consort Lian is Prince Ling's mother.
If she really is the one who imprisoned my mentor in Lotus Palace...
Let's not make any speculations yet.
We'll know the truth once we meet up with your mentor.
Focus and remain calm.
It seems that the dark sorceresses aren't going to give up.
They surely won't let Elder Tao Yao off.
Go to her rescue. Leave them to me.
Sure.
These are quite a handful.
Be very cautious.
Thank you, Elder.
I've transferred my spiritual powers to you.
This should help you recover your energy quickly.
You're the Grand Sorceress of The Mages.
You carry great responsibilities.
I would keep you safe from harm at whatever the cost.
I'll never forget your kindness, Elder.
Nor will I fail you.
Your mentor should be here soon.
After we've met up with him, we'll rush back to the Meandering Skies.
Once the imperial family discovers that you and Mister Mo have escaped
they will surely have you hunted down.
We need to prepare in advance.
Elder, I wish to look for Prince Ling in A-Chai Tribe.
That will be a long journey.
The Phantom Pebble enables teleporting up to 1000 miles.
Where did you get it from?
Prince Li gave it to me.
We'll discuss about this after we meet up with your mentor.
Elder Xi Xie, this is as far as you could go!
Consort Lian sent you here?
Today, we'll take you down!
Now that my mentor has returned
he could surely restore The Mages to glory.
You're right.
As long as Senior Xi Xie is around, the overall situation will be stable.
Yuan Ming?
You're quite capable.
You actually managed to escape from the Celestial Dungeon.
But this is where it all ends.
Let's see how you can make it out of this place!
His Majesty has decreed!
All tribesmen of The Mages are to be killed!
I'll hang your three corpses up on the city walls
so that The Mages will know what it means to go against the imperial family!
Shoot!
As long as the Grand Sorceress exists, The Mages will never perish!
Qing Chen, from this day forth, I leave The Mages in your care!
Head over to A-Chai Tribe.
Go and assist Prince Ling.
Elder, don't do this.
Elder, don't!
Tao Yao...
Tao Yao, you'll be fine.
Xi Xie...
I'm not afraid to tell you...
In the past, I used to always dream of being married to you...
But...
I actually...
In the end, I actually couldn't even... leave behind a dream for you.
I'm sorry...
I'll have to leave now...
This love...
We'll carry it over to our next life?
To have you in my life...
It leaves me no regret.
I thought that Senior Xi Xie has always been unfeeling.
Who knew that you're still burdened by desire and emotions?
Are you really going to destroy The Mages at all costs?
You're the only ones who know of my secret!
Once I silence you, I'd have nothing to worry about.
As for Ling...
He should avenge the deceased emperor.
He must take back the throne.
As for The Mages...
You will be the cornerstone of his coronation.
Should one day, he learns of what his mother has done
what would he think of it?
He will never learn of it.
I will have wiped out everyone who knew of the truth.
Senior Xi Xie, you're already severely wounded.
You've wielded forbidden powers by force.
Could you still be a match for me?
Leave now.
They still managed to get away!
Who was it hiding there?
It's actually him?
This is good.
Since he now knows the truth, this is going to be more interesting.
Winning Yuan An's throne is now an amusing game.
It's too late.
We're now outside Taoyang City.
The Phantom Pebble won't be able to teleport us for some time.
We can't head back there.
Besides, my mentor only did so in order to save us both.
If we head back there now...
We'll let my mentor down.
Elder Tao Yao has just transferred powers to me.
She would never survive fighting against so many at a time.
Only by going to Prince Ling and keeping The Mages safe
could we live up to my mentor's expectations.
Elder Tao Yao has waited for so long...
Yet she didn't even get to see my mentor one last time.
My mentor would have wanted us to take on the responsibilities.
I'll go and scout for a path.
Elder Tao Yao...
Ling...
Don't you find it strange that Her Highness acted in such a way?
She left mysteriously in the middle of the night
and now she's escorted back by a group of warriors from A-Chai Tribe.
I know that she took such a risk for fear that I would be caught.
What if she had given in to Mukesha?
If she did, why would she bother to come back now?
Open the gates.
- You can head back now. - Yes!
Why didn't you ask me what had happened last night?
If you wish to tell me, then you will.
I'm sorry.
Mukesha only rebelled because of me.
I should also put an end to it.
Great Wei never should have been implicated into this matter.
If Prince Hao gets captured because of it
I really would be too ashamed to face you again.
Mukesha and Xiao Xu invaded our territory and killed our people.
This isn't just some personal vengeance.
This is a battle between nations.
Our nations are allies.
What concerns A-Chai Tribe will concern Great Wei.
Therefore, I hope that you won't take such a risk alone again.
Don't worry.
Mukesha has agreed to withdraw his army temporarily.
As long as we can break through Liang State's defense
we could break free from besiegement.
