"Fuyao" by Karen Mok
♫ I start to dance nimbly and gracefully ♫
♫ For what my beautiful face is frowned? ♫
♫ Without him, I'll drift with the current ♫
♫ Why is the tune of the zither a farewell song? ♫
♫ Without me, he'll be lonely in this universe ♫
♫ My heart silently waits at the cliff of Firmament ♫
♫ The heaven, the earth, the sun and the moon are all in my bosom ♫
♫ How can I own the top freedom in this world? ♫
♫ There is no fear from my heart ♫
♫ Deep love won't hide, true love won't run short ♫
♫ Dreams give hopes through all the ages ♫
♫ Why go through storms and stress to be bright and beautiful? ♫
♫ There is no struggle from my heart ♫
♫ Swaying along with the wind ♫
♫ I can do anything freely ♫
♫ I enter my dreams easily and unrestrainedly ♫
♫ What a beautiful dance ♫

Episode 23
Ever since I met him, it seems as if
everything is related to him.
Slowly, I became accustomed to his existence.
I became accustomed to having him and I've also become accustomed of...
and I became accustomed to involuntarily thinking about him.
Then that's love.
Love?
This is love?
Before, before there was someone I liked.
but that person betrayed me.
I originally thought I would be very sad.
But in reality, it was more disappointment.
I asked myself, was this love?
I wasn't sure either.
So when you asked me if I like him,
I don't know either.
Your Majesty.
Jian Xue, you can leave.
You...
You heard it all?
This is not fair.
You asked her to come set me up.
You already know my feelings.
But I don't know what you are thinking.
Sit.
What do you want to ask?
I...
I want to know...
I want to know, what feelings do you have towards me?
Do you want to know the truth?
You...
Are very smart, very special. In these years,
I have never seen a woman like you.
You're rebellious and sly, but you have justified virtues,
Who would give up their life for their friends.
So from the beginning, I had an interest in you.
Just...
after a while of being with you and seeing much of you,
everything will no longer be fresh.
In the end, the kind of person a man wants by his side
is someone who is obedient and appeases me.
You, do you understand?
Why do you laugh?
When I was locked in the Dense Beam Palace Hall,
I thought I wouldn't be able to escape.
But...
But the first person to appear in my mind was you.
In that moment, I asked myself
if I liked you.
It is rather funny.
Thank you for telling me this.
I understand now how stupid I was.
And thank you for your confession.
I will take care of things well.
How will you take care of things?
I will definite repay the help I received.
From now on, I won't bother you anymore.
I don't need you to repay your gratitudes.
You are in my way right now.
I just wish you...would disappear quickly.
As for the seal in your body...
There's no need. My business has nothing to do with you anymore.
Look at you, how did you mess things up!
How can you use the black color for the Winter Clothing Festival?
This festival is a happy occasion.
It's the day when His Majesty will choose his queen.
So stupid! Watch out or you'll be beaten up.
This is really... go away now!
Yes, yes.
Hurry up! Seriously.
I don't look for a moment and he makes a mess.
Be careful!
MIss Yuwen.
The guards today are all our people. When you wear this dress,
with this badge, no one will bother you.
As for your identity as Yuwen Zi,
don't worry. It'll be taken care of.
The beginning of the tenth month,
brings in
The Winter Clothing Festival.
Do not forget our ancestors.
The Winter Clothing Festival of the Deep Water Nation
begins!
Your Majesty, at such an auspicious occasion,
why do you seem to be unhappy?
Is that so? Don't worry about it.
♫ What do you know? ♫
♫ What is good about the three realms? ♫
I'm late. Are you alright?
I kindheartedly saved you, you should thank me.
♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫
♫ The one, who asks me to love him, loves me. I only want him to love me ♫
Girl!
You caused the trouble! Come over the change my clothes for me!
♫ If there's no sickness or weakness, if there's never oldness ♫
We keep running into each other.
Do you want to die?
I want to live with you.
Whether I'm a liar is undetermined.
But, you must be a fake.
Jerk!
Do you like me?
♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫
♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫
♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫
I want to know, you...
What feelings do you have towards me?
I didn't think, that in my lifetime, I would see you being so obedient.
The way you are like a delicate woman.
Your imperial harem is filled with this kind of delicate woman.
Why do you feel intrigued?
But I am just intrigued by you.
In the beginning, I used all my efforts to come in here.
Now, it's so easy to leave.
Miss, please hold your step.
There are too many people here. Please follow me this way.
You're too courteous. You're too courteous.
- Come, come. - Have a drink.
Here.
Eat. Drink.
Come on, come on.
Here, let me pour you a glass.
First Senior Brother.
Come on.
Come on, come on.
Alright. Good days.
Prime Minister, may I offer you a toast? Sure.
We're all friends here.
Come, come. Another one.
We'll definitely enjoy ourselves today.
- Good, good. - Come, come.
The two of us would like to salute uncle with a toast.
Good.
What a handsome and outstanding young man.
Are you Prime Minister's nephew-in-law?
Yes, I am Yan Jingchen.
We hear you're the Young Sect Leader of the Xuanyuan Sect.
That's right.
He is the son of Yan Lie, the Sect leader of Xuanyuan.
Young and talented. He was just appointed as an Official.
No wonder he has such an extraordinary air.
He is obviously a descendant of a respected family.
He and the Prefecture Princess are a perfect match.
We are all impressed.
This is my husband's first time in the capital city.
In the future we'd appreciate help from you.
May I offer a toast to thank you first?
Prefecture Princess, you are too humble. Mister Yan is obviously an elite.
If he enters the court as an official, it will be our nation's luck.
Let's drink up!
Not bad, not bad.
Thank you, sirs.
Come, come.
That's right.
You have a good memory.
Get lost!
Did the young lady just then
look better than me because she's young and cute?
There's so much people. Stop messing around. Come, I'll toast you.
Get a fruit.
Alright. I'll get a fruit.
Feed me.
Alright.
His Majesty, arrives!

Why isn't Lady Fair here yet?
Madam, my lady is too ill to even get up.
Your Majesty, this...
She doesn't feel well. Let's not force her.
In a while, get a doctor and let them take a look at her.
Yes.
You Majesty, the auspicious hour has arrived.
Start.
It's the auspicious hour.
Winter Clothing Festival now begins.
Start the music.
It's really great.
Not bad.
Look at how well they dance.
Look at her.
Allow me to toast you.
- Eat some more. - Sure.
I'll go out for a second. I'll come back later.
This is great.
What did you say?
He's the one who told me to leave.
Now you want me to stay. Are you in cahoots to play me?
Miss, stop being angry.
Young Master, has his reasons.
I'm doing this on my own, and he'll surely scold me.
But, I really have to tell you something.
What is it?
Do you remember that night when he went to find the Earth Absorbing Bell for you?
You only know that he found it, but you didn't know
he was badly hurt after being hit 3 times by the First Princess.
I have followed him since childhood. All these years, I have never seen him care for someone so much.
I've never seen him helping another person
with such willing self sacrifice.
But he clearly... clearly pretended to not care.
He did it for your safety.
He knows you're wounded and doesn't want you endangered more. But,
his plan and his own safety will now become uncertain.
He wouldn't tell you any of this.
You mean, he doesn't want me in danger,
so he deliberately treated me like that?
- Miss, let me finish talking. - What else is there to talk about?
Winter Clothing Festival has started. I don't want to be late.
Thank you, Miss.
This must be the Prime Minister's nephew-in-law.
Get lost!
That young girl
is young and beautiful.
Feed me.
Fuyao? Fuyao, is it you?
Sorry. I just drank some wine so I recognized the wrong person.
Please forgive me.
Hurry and leave.
Thankfully the Little Tail cast that spell. Otherwise I'd be dead.
I didn't recognize the wrong person! You're Fuyao. Even if you have a disguise,
But I can tell from your backside, the way you look. I do not make mistakes.
Your Majesty. The Winter Clothing Festival must have the clothes offerings, sword dances and ancestor offerings.
There are many in attendance tonight.
Has Your Majesty invited any sword dancers tonight?
Why would we need sword dancers?
Your Majesty, I heard the Ladies have many talents.
I wonder if we can see it today?
The Prime Minister usually organises these things.
This... we need to ask Prime Minister.
Your Majesty, I don't know anything about such entertainment.
I only know to do my job to relieve Your Majesty's worries.
Prime Minister...
Your Majesty.
Speak.
I recently learned a new set of sword play that is quite interesting.
I would like to perform for your enjoyment.
Oh, sure!
But, this sword play is out of the ordinary.
I need the servants to make some preparations.
Approved.
Go do it.
Yes.
Your Majesty, this sword play came from a hermit.
Although it's not some famous choreography.
It's magical by the addition of the 12 Lustrous Mirrors.
These Lustruous Mirrors are the treasures of Deep Water Nation.
They can reflect the entire lifetime of the person standing before it.
Although it may appear as only one person is dancing.
But the Mirrors will make it appear as if there's a crowd of thousands.
It's definitely unique.
You really worked hard to get it. Alright.
Let's show us your special performance.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, may I offer a toast?
Come, let's drink!
Fuyao, do you know?
Ever since we parted on Mt. Mystic Soul,
I could only see you in my dreams.
First Senior Brother.
Because of our history, I still call you that today.
But you are already someone else's husband now.
It doesn't matter who you married,
please take good care of her.
because it's your own choice.
It... it's not my choice.
It's a mistake. The biggest mistake in my life!
Fuyao, can you forgive me?
We don't need forgiveness between us.
Butler Cao. I noticed the colour of our place settings are all different.
Is there a special reason?
Of course there is.
The Ladies, depending on their station,
are given different treatment.
See, you are Lady Precious
You're the most precious and graceful,
so all of your tableware are red.
Lady Virtuous is a Prefecture Princess,
so we used the blue color that they are accustomed to.
Lady Fair uses pink tableware,
and Lady Virtue uses white ones.
All Ladies are given colours appropriate to their station.
Huan'er.
Fuyao, I know you are upset and sad.
I gave up and left you.
I know it's all my fault.
I... it's all my fault.
First Senior Brother, did you really think
that I would still be sad?
Then are you not?
That's right, back at Mt. Mystic Soul, I was heartbroken.
But the thing that saddened me was that
my most loved and respected First Senior Brother,
how could he betray me like that?
I thought, wasn't this our childhood promise?
How could you go back on your promise?
I didn't understand anything. I was really sad.
Thankfully, before Pei Yuan and Clique Leader were able to kill me,
I left Mt. Mystic Soul. On my way down,
I met many people and encountered many things.
I finally realised that my world was so small,
but this world is large.
So I understand First Senior Brother.
In order to pursue your goals,
giving up on some feelings is nothing.
But while I understand why a man would do this,
I will never pine for him.
I finally understand what I want.
Someone who sees only me.
No matter the lure,
no matter what happens, would not betray me.
Of course, I will also return that loyalty.
I know that this person is not First Senior Brother.
So I won't be heart broken. I'm actually glad.
I'm glad that person isn't you.
Fuyao...I—
I was just confused then, Fuyao!
Fuyao, even though I married Pei Yuan,
But we're not truly husband and wife. I only have you in my heart.
Fuyao, wait for me. Until I've made it.
I...I'll give you the best.
I'll genuinely only see you.
First Senior Brother...
Things from the past, let them pass.
I'll call you First Senior Brother one last time.
Let go.
Goodbye.
Where was the earring dropped?
This Older Sister, have you seen my lady's
earing that she dropped?
I didn't see.
Older sister, it's all over now.
If it's like this, my lady will beat me to death!
Older Sister, can you help me find it?
It was here, it was lost here!
But I still have to send to wine.
Look, can you pity me?
If I can't find it, My Lady will beat me to death.
Can you go over there to look? I'll look over here.
If you can't find it, this gold leaf will represent my gratitude for Older Sister.
Okay.
Thank you, Older Sister. Thank you, Older Sister.
Where did it go?
Where could the earring have went?
If I can't find it, my Lady will really... where is that earring?
Where did it go?
What to do? What to do?
I found it!
Older Sister! I found it!
It was here.
Then all is well.
Thank you, Older Sister.
I didn't help you much.
Older Sister, you have helped me greatly.
Old Sister, they're in a hurry. Let's go quickly.
I am sorry, Lady Fair.
Why are you so careless?
I'm sorry Lady Fair. Please don't punish us.
It's nothing, rise.
Yes.
Where did you go? Why did you come back only now?
I asked you a question.
Where did you go? Why did you come back only now?
I asked you a question.
I don't want to answer!
I want to go home!
Have you gone mad?
Yes, I have gone made.
It's about time that I went mad.
Your Majesty, I will show my routine.
Go ahead.
Sister, please hold.
Your Majesty, today is Winter Clothing Festival.
Winter Clothing Festival is not just about reminiscence. It's also about national patriotism.
I don't have any talents.
So I will offer a toast to show my gratitude.
Rong'er has spoken well.
So, let's all,
drink the toast at the same time
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I'm sorry to be late. Will Your Majesty please forgive me?
Oh, didn't I hear Lady Fair was sick?
Why force yourself to get here?
I was feeling terribly ill, but
all of a sudden, I recovered. I don't know why.
It must be because the Winter Clothing Festival is so sacred.
All gods gave their blessings.
And the King, the Ladies,
and all the Officials' genuine prayers.
I am lucky to have caught a little bit of the auspicious blessing.
I hope I didn't disrupt Your Majesty's enjoyment.
Lady Fair, you are indeed blessed.
I am very gratified. Take your seat.
The King appears to especially care for Lady Fair.
Naturally, she's the Prime Minister's goddaughter.
The King obviously values her.
I thought they said the most loved was Lady Precious.
He even rewarded her with many things. How...
Now that the Ladies of Clear Goose Palace are all here,
and we have Lady Virtuous' sword dance. Everything is now perfect.
Then please, Lady Virtuous.
- She dances graciously. - Agree.
This is nice.
Protect His Majesty!
-Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness!
His Majesty is harmed.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Release me!
You...
Your Majesty, I didn't deliberately do it.
Your Majesty!
Guards, take down Lady Virtuous who was assassinating His Majesty!
How dare you!
You were standing close to His Majesty have didn't protect him.
What kind of motive do you have? Lady Virtuous causing this kind of accident, it's reasonable and usual practice that she gets arrested first and then investigate.
How dare you ignore the manners to the king and scold in presence of the king?
What are you coveting?
King, I, Gao Song, have always been loyal to you.
Ruo'er messed up her sword dance, that's because she didn't learn it well.
But if you're saying that she is attempting to assassinate the king, then you're making unfounded accusations!
You... You can quit arguing.
I don't think this has anything to do with Lady Virtuous.
What is she doing?
- Really? - She throws up.
I have lost all my pride today.
I...
I'd rather die.
That's right.
Alright, let's clean up everything here.
Help Lady Virtuous get out of here.
Miss.
Your Majesty, there must be a conspiracy.
Lord, what do you mean?
Even if Ruo'er didn't learn it well, it wouldn't be as bad as this.
Someone is framing her.
The wine.
The wine that she just drank, Your Majesty.
There must be something wrong with it.
You! Yes.
Your Majesty, there really is something bad about it.
Who? Who is framing my daughter?
The Son of Heaven is right above, and hundreds of officials are here as witness.
And yet someone dares injure people
during the night reception of the Winter Clothing Festival. This person is going against the Heavens!
Your Majesty!
My Lord, calm down.
Let's make the conclusion after the results come out.
Perhaps there is something else strange about it.
Your Majesty, it has to be her who poisoned the wine.
It has to be her. I'm sure.
Sister, you must be mistaken.
Why would I want to drug you?
Your Majesty, please judge fairly.
Why did you say it was Rong'er?
I... I... I...
I...She...I also...
Ruo'er, it's alright, be brave and just say it.
Just now, I already asked the maidservant who is serving today.
A'Xiu said, just before I started performing,
her personal maidservant went to find a earring or something, and she even used a golden leaf to bride her.
She must have poisoned the wine when she wasn't paying attention!
