Untouchable Lovers
Episode 51
Xiao Daocheng! Why did you really come here?
Do you really believe that he attacked Wei because you suffered unfair treatment?
Do you really also believe that you were married off to Wei before to maintain peace between Song and Wei?
I admit that Wei agreed to the Wei-Song marriage alliance as just a strategy of convenience.
But how is Liu Song any different!
On one side, marrying you off to me. But on the other, expanding their army and preparing for war.
Chuyu, open your eyes and look clearly.
The person beside Xiao Daocheng is that Sima Jun who previously framed you.
He personally handed the letter to Huo Xuan, because he wanted to use her hand
to kill you, and then incite the war between Wei and Song!
Absurd! I don't believe it.
You have always lied to me. I don't believe you!
Whether it's absurd or not, you ask him yourself.
Xiao Daocheng, let me ask you!
You have always treated me as a pawn, am I right?
Answer me!
Is the attack of Song this time a plot that have started since the time of the marriage alliance?
General Xiao, since the matter has come to this,
let's stop being hypocritical. Let's just settle the real score on the battlefield.
Prince Regent, immediately open the gates!
Or else, our Song army
will charge through your city gates, and kill all your citizens!
Royal Uncle, where is Tian Rujing?
He went to Yunjin Mountain to pray to the deities in seclusion.
Even if he is around, he will also agree to this marriage alliance.
Chuyu, I clearly know in my heart
that Wei has wild ambitions.
That this marriage alliance won't be able to ensure enternal peace.
But sacrificing you can give the citizens a peaceful and happy life.
Allow us to recuperate, and prepare for the next battle. Even if I can't bear to part with you,
I can only choose to do so.
Okay. I agree with your request.
General Xiao, are you sure that with just these people,
you can already conquer Wei?
I know that the army in your Pingcheng
are elite soldiers that you yourself trained.
But that's fine.
Today, I brought an ally!
Ally?
Huo Chao? Are you crazy!
You actually dare to help the Liu Song Army? That's mutiny!
Mutiny?
Didn't your Emperor already say that our main commander is a rebel?
We are doing this just to get back our dignity!
What are you planning to do?
The misfortunes of the Huo family were all created by the Imperial Family.
The mastermind behind it is Your Highness the Prince Regent!
If you kill yourself in front of everyone,
I will immediately withdraw my army!
Or else, I will conquer your city
with the Liu Song people, and will be able to kill you too!
- Preposterous! - Since Your Highness the Prince Regent
can't bear to lose your head, don't blame us from using violence then!
You are bullying people intolerably.
Your Highness, please allow me to go out the city and cut off Huo Chao's head.
No. The Huo army is Huo Xuan's. No one is allowed to touch them.
But General Huo isn't here.
She will come.
Attack!
Attack the city!
Stop!
- Xuan'er! - Huo Xuan!
Xuan'er! Xuan'er!
Xuan'er, are you alright?
Get up.
Are you alright?
Have you all forgotten what I've said?
The Huo Army's main duty is to defend the country and protect its citizens.
Yet you actually allied with the Song people to attack our city?
I'm doing this
just to seek justice for you.
Have you forgotten that there was first Rong Zhi
who disregarded his promise, and then a Tuoba Hong after who broke faith and abandoned the right?
Not only that,
you willingly handed over your military power, yet they still didn't believe you.
They even asked Peng Ge to kill you, to forever eliminate a potential problem.
For an Imperial clan and government like that,
why must you still throw your life in for them?
Xuan'er, what Old General Huo said is right.
You shouldn't risk your life for them anymore.
The thing that I loyally serve has never been Great Wei's Imperial clan,
but the Wei citizens who doesn't even have an inch of steel with them,
my own conscience and duty.
I like watching the adorable smiling face of children.
I like seeing the citizens living in peace and bliss.
I am working hard for everything that I like.
Even if the people who I once protected
and trusted betrayed me,
it will never be able to change my initial intention,
because I never bathed in blood and fought valiantly just to get gratitude.
Moreover, I am also not stupid.
I will never become a pawn of the enemy!
Pawn?
What do you mean?
Xuan'er!
Gu Huan, are you still going to lie to me until now?
Xuan'er, I don't know what you're saying.
You don't know?
Why did Peng Ge suddenly grow wild?
His symptoms was very similar to the Liu Song envoy that became crazy, and killed people.
When I got hurt, you were the first one to rush there,
and had Peng Ge killed.
Afterwards, you instigated the Huo Army to rebel.
All of these were pre-planned by you!
Who really are you?
If you were sincere to me by even a bit,
please tell me who you are.
I was ordered by the Prince Regent to kill the rebels, and lead the army to save His Majesty.
Impossible!
The Prince Regent is far away, on the border. He doesn't know anything. How could he...
What are you laughing about? Are you crazy?
Your choice is right.
Rong Zhi is the most perfect Prince Regent. Cold. Ruthless.
But it is very obvious
that he also placed his man in your Longlin Army.
He is indeed the Prince Regent.
I thought he already lost his composure.
Never thought that he still has a backup plan.
Men! Take her away!
Tuoba Hong, I can't accept this! I can't!
Tuoba Hong!
Tuoba Yun, you want to kill me, yet you also saved me. Aren't you conflicted by your actions?
How can the Emperor of my Great Wei
be stupid enough to die in the hands of a woman?
What a pity I can't personally kill you.
Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to duel with me.
Libation
So what if you've defeated me?
Sitting on that Imperial throne that's drenched with blood is like sitting on a pillow of needles.
Every person that you killed will become your nightmare.
Sitting on that cold chair will never give you any peaceful days.
One day...
you will understand...
All of this...
has ended.
It was you who informed Huo Xuan.
Yes.
You knew that Song will be attacking the city.
That's why you rushed all the way here, not for me.
It was to gather the army, and set up the city defense.
I did it for Great Wei, and also you.
Me... Huo Xuan... Tuoba Hong...
All the court ministers and Pingcheng, all the citizens,
got fooled by you.
For the past days, you pretended to be a Prince Regent that's lovesick.
You let everyone lower their guard, but what is your real motive?
It is to capture them all with just one net?
Rong Zhi...you are the one who has planned everything carefully without missing anything.
When you left Pingcheng, my heart burned with anxiety.
No matter if you believe it or not, I'm telling the truth.
Stop lying to me!
Have you not lied enough?
The person who fooled us is someone else.
Huo Xuan, the Tianji Pavilion has been destroyed by me. The true identity of Gu Huan
is the real Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion. Immediately rush to Pingcheng. Rong Zhi.
Gu Huan, you are the real Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion.
That person who died in the Liu Song military camp
was just a substitute, right?
That's right.
I am the Tianji Pavilion's true Pavilion Master.
You Liu Song criminal, you dared to use us?
- Men! Capture him! - Yes!
All of you, don't move!
Stop!
If you dare hurt Huo Xuan, I'll let you die without a full corpse!
Why must you do this?
Marriage alliance?
That's right. Use Liu Chuyu's body in exchange for an opportunity to obtain Wei.
In the future, after conquering Pingcheng to wash off the embarrassment we experienced in Jizhou,
the main power in the government will soon be in your hands.
But Liu Chuyu—
Indecision will
invariable lead to trouble. If you're too kind like a woman,
how can you do great things?
The Liu Clan was too tyrannical, and their fate to be in power has ended.
The Tianji Pavilion worked painstakingly to plan things just to choose a new wise leader
that can go against Northern Wei, and placate the citizens.
Lord Xiao, once you've obtained and replaced the Liu clan,
don't forget your past promise.
Xuan'er...
sorry.
The Northern Wei's power is vast.
They have long developed the desire to conquer the world.
I'm doing this just to impede the Wei army,
to help the world choose a wise king.
You're lying.
The citizens of the world?
Gu Huan, look around. Your righteous-sounding reason of saving the citizens
has caused how many deaths?
What the Tianji Pavilion wants
is the scalding hot position of being the right hand man of the Emperor, the glory of being above everyone else?
The only things that your actions have brought Wei and Song are fresh blood and massacre.
Gu Huan!
Don't you still know to repent on your misdeeds?
Tell me then.
Could it be that in your heart...
even I was just a pawn?
No.
Maybe I was indeed using you before.
But now...in my heart, you're not a pawn.
You are my wife.
I have never thought of hurting you.
Even more so, I didn't expect...
that we would lose our child.
Gu Huan,
let me ask you.
Have you loved me?
Do you still remember your promise to me?
I'm making an oath here that
if there is a next life,
Huo Xuan and I...
will be husband and wife...
for eternity.
Xuan'er...
I love you.
But I can't forgive you.
Even if the entire Wei Empire betrayed me,
this is the place that I've once used my blood to protect.
You brought the Wei that I love the most and its citizens harm.
You then must pay with your blood.
Xuan'er, I won't blame you.
But I can't bear to part with you.
Huo Xuan!
Xuan'er...
I'm making an oath here that if I get reincarnated,
Huo Xuan and I will be husband and wife for all eternity.
Gu Huan...
I love you.

Song used a woman in exchange for peace.
I thought that I was so mighty.
But Imperial Uncle was just lying to me all this time.
Huo Xuan thought that she has found the right man,
but she ended up in such a state.
It was because Gu Huan lied to her.
And you...
the outstanding Prince Regent.
At that moment that you caught up with us,
I really wavered.
I can't bear to leave Pingcheng.
But in the end, I discovered that it's another scam.
All the great things in the world
was actually created by piling up the tears of women, and the flesh and blood of the citizens!
Such a joke... It's really such a funny joke...
Chuyu, I never thought of lying to you.
You have always been lying to me.
But I still was unwilling to believe it.
I'm really so stupid! I'm so stupid!
Huo Xuan was wise all her life, but got muddled for a moment.
Get lost!
Chuyu!
Reinforce the army! Reinforce the army!
All soldiers, listen up! Immediately gather in front of the city gates!
Prepare to attack!
Let go of me!
Your Highness, we need you to take charge of the battle situation.
The Song Army is about to break the city gates.
Protect her well. If she loses even a hair, you will answer for it.
Yes.
Charge!
Kill them!
Qingyue, are you crazy?!
Princess, hurry and go!
Men! Take her away.
Move.
Don't hurt her!
Just continue walking down this direction, it will be Song soon.
Once we reach Song, you'll be safe.
Rong Zhi will surely not let you off.
That's why, let's just think of a way once we reach Song.
Tian Rujing! Tian Rujing! What's wrong?
Go back to Song. Hurry and go back to Song.
How come it's like this?
Just you wait. I'll go back to Song and find you a doctor.
Chuyu. It's too late...
Sorry.
Tian Rujing...
I brought you harm.
You clearly was a blue-blooded royalty,
but you almost became a sacrifice of politics.
If we're going to talk about bringing harm, it should be me who brought you harm.
I once gave conditions to force you to kill Rong Zhi. I'm very sorry.
It's not my intention to hurt
the innocent you.
I don't blame you.
I really don't blame you.
What mandate of heaven? All are man-made.
The Tianji Pavilion claims to support the morals of time and assist the right and wise king.
But in reality, it only incited wars and killed innocent people.
All these were becuase of the wild ambition of my Teacher Uncle.
The one that instigated war wasn't the greedy wolf nor the seven death. It's his lust for power.
Stop saying it.
Don't say it anymore.
Princess...
promise me. Don't return to Rong Zhi's side.
This government deal has ended.
Men.
Here.
Bury them together.
Yes.
The sword that she loved to use when she was alive and that armor,
bury them with her too.
I will abide.
It's all that bastard Gu Huan's fault!
You are her Third Uncle, yet you didn't understand her.
You think that she killed herself because of Gu Huan?
No. It's not.
She isn't a woman that will live for love.
The Hou Army rebelled.
She's using her death to remind me that I wronged her,
to pay for your crime, to beg for mercy in your army's behalf.
At the moment that Gu Huan betrayed,
in her heart, he already didn't exist.
She publicly said all those words to prevent you all from feeling guilty.
This time, I'll let you all go.
You all better shape up.

Your Highness! Princess Consort, she...
What happened to Chuyu?!
Say it!
Supreme Audience Hall
The Wei Army is moving with an irresistible force!
They have successively conquered 10 of our cities!
If this continues, in less than a month,
they will be attacking Jiankang!
Now, I'm asking you all to think of way. Did all your brains turn to flour paste
or your tongues got shit on them?!
Informing Your Majesty, I have returned.
You even know to return?!
It's because I believed your slanderous words...
that's why, Northern Wei is now flying into a rage!
- I admit my mistake. - Men! Behead him!
Give it to Northern Wei as an apology gift!
Your Majesty, even if you kill me,
you won't be able to pacify the anger of Northern Wei!
The only thing we can do now is to attack the problem at two angles at the same time to resolve the it.
What attacking the problem at two angles?
The one leading the army this time,
that Northern Wei Prince Regent isn't really a true member of the imperial clan.
If at this time, someone will spread a rumor in Pingcheng,
saying that he commanded the army to march south for treacherous intentions...
That's not bad. Continue!
At the same time, we can send an envoy to do a peace negotiation.
You think I didn't think of that?! But Nortern Wei is unwilling!
There is one person that can change this desperate tide.
Who?
Princess Shanyin, Liu Chuyu.
Greetings, Princess.
Chuyu!
You're finally back.
Song and Wei are at war.
I was so afraid that Northern Wei will vent their anger on you.
- I have been worried about you. - Really?
Of course. I repeatedly instructed
General Xiao to bring you back safely no matter what happens.
Imperial Uncle, just be frank with me. Stop beating around the bush.
It's just that right now, we've angered
Wei. This Prince Regent has led an army
and successively conquered 10 of our cities.
He immediately will reach Jiankang.
So?
Chuyu, you two are husband and wife after all.
As long as you're willing to intercede,
I believe that Wei will surely agree to a peace negotiation.
That's why, Imperial Uncle hopes that I sacrifice myself again?
Chuyu, this isn't for me.
Do you want to just watch as the citizens
become destitute and homeless, their home and family getting broken up? Watching as Wei
trample at our Song territories?
Chuyu, this is also your home.
Your Song.
Imperial Uncle, look carefully at my face.
This...
Is the word 'idiot' written on it?!
Will I get repeatedly fooled by you?!
You have put too much importance on me. Rong Zhi will never withdraw his army.
Just wait for the iron cavalry of Wei to trample on and destroy Jiankang then kill you before we talk again.
I'll then take your head first
and hang it at the front line...
Your Majesty.
Chuyu, I know that you're blaming me.
But it's fine. For Song's citizens,
you will agree.
Take her away.
Princess, the surrounding is a bit crude and simple. Please bear with it.
But don't worry. Prince Regent will be here soon.
Rong Zhi agreed to a peace negotiation?
Of course. I said before that as long as you're willing,
Prince Regent will surely agree to it.
Xiao Daocheng, before, you were a zither player who thinks of himself as high and pure.
But after several years of tempering yourself,
you actually have become a successful politician.
It really show how tempting power can be.
Your initial plan upon bringing me here is,
if Rong Zhi agrees to a peace negotiation, you will then push the boat along the current. (go along with it)
If he disagrees,
you'll kill me to frame the Wei people and incite the wrath of the Song people. Am I right?
Princess, you kept saying that you're very dumb.
But in reality, you are not dumb at all.
I'm just a normal person.
I unluckily have to live among a group of intelligent people.
This is so painful.
Princess, you're kidding me.
You belittled your position in Prince Regent's heart.
The Wei successively achieved victory. There force is irresistible.
I asked that we have the peace negotiations at an area 10 li away from Pengcheng and his guards mustn't be more than a hundred.
With harsh conditions like that, he actually agreed with them.
It shows that Prince Regent is indeed
deeply devoted to Princess.
Is this a real peace negotiation or a false one?!
Princess, you don't need to worry about that.
You will soon attain freedom.
Your Highness, the Song could have come to Pengcheng to have the peace negotiations.
You don't really need to agree with their conditions.
Chuyu is in their hands. The so-called peace negotiations of the Song
is to use her life as blackmail.
Your Highness, I'm worried about your safety.
She's my wife.
Stay at Pengcheng. Without any dispatch command, you must not act without permission.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Chuyu!
Rong Zhi! Don't come here!
After him!
Let go of me. I'll escape on my own.
I'll only let go once I die!
Let go! Let go of me!
Prince Regent, are you now starting to use the 'pity me for I'm hurt' tactic?
You clearly know that it's a trap, yet you still endangered yourself.
Are you forcing me to grow lenient and forgive you?
I just want to protect you.
Wait.
They are over there! After them!
Rong Zhi.
Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi!
Wake up.
I heard that the force of this Prince Regent was unstoppable.
He was able to conquer 10 cities of Liu Song.
By the looks of it, he will soon attack Jiankang.
If Prince Regent is able to indeed attack Jiankang in the the future, then isn't that already reaching the highest enlightenment—
Shut up!
Your Majesty, have mercy...
Drag them away and flog to death.
Have mercy, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, spare us!
Your Majesty! Forgive us, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, please don't get angry because of those insensible servants.
Be careful of harming your health.
Even those two insensible servants know that Rong Zhi has achieved so many military achievements and has long have a disloyal heart.
It shows that the whole Wei knows about this!
Rong Zhi...
You actually had power to suppress the whole Wei now. Your power has actually grown up to this much.
Your Majesty, everything that Prince Regent did
was for Wei.
Really?
He was able to bribe my Longlin Army without even batting an eyelid.
He was able to conquer 10 cities of Song without using even a soldier of the Huo Army!
What else about him do I now know?
- What else?! - Your Majesty!
Hope the Heaven can bless His Majesty
good health and life as long as the clouds.
I am willing to lose 10 years of my life to pray for blessing for Hong'er.
Your Majesty!
Imperial Mother!
Hong'er!
Why did Your Majesty come to my place?
Imperial Mother, I miss you.
Hong'er...
Imperial Mother, Prince Regent has won another battle.
That's a good thing.
I should be happy for Uncle winning the battle.
But if he really is able to conquer Jiankang with just one stroke,
establish a merit that's beyond this world, his prestige will then surpass me.
For the past days, there are already rumors in Pingcheng
that the ruler is weak and his subject is stronger, that Wei is in trouble.
Your Majesty, aren't you just overthinking?
No. I am not.
Prince Kang and me are biological brothers, yet he still betrayed me.
The more Prince Regent can do it.
He is a ferocious tiger that has escaped out of his cage.
One day, he will choose to eat me.
No, he won't. He won't, Hong'er.
Imperial Mother, please help me.
You must help me!
Your Majesty, hurry and get up.
Of course, I will help you. Hurry and get up.
How do you want me to help you?
I've sent 3 imperial decrees requesting him to immediately withdraw his army.
But Prince Regent kept ignoring them! I am out of ideas!
But you're his only blood relative left in this world.
As long as you say it, he surely will listen.
Okay... I promise you.
Not only that, Prince Regent can't be allowed to live.
