[Legend of Fuyao]
~ Episode 25 ~
Mr. Zong, please.
Medical Sage, I only have one daughter. Save her.
I'll try my best.
You're saying that the Dragon Scale Armor is inside Qi Yun's body?
Why?
Have you seen a person that got revived from death?
I've seen one.
Qi Yun's mother gave birth to her with only 7 months of pregnancy.
Upon getting born, her blood has been in the reverse flow.
The disorderliness of her muscles and bones is also strangely abnormal.
All the doctors said she won't live past six years old.
Now, I saw her again and she looked exactly like a normal person.
Either her illness is fully cured
Or, the Dragon Scale Armor is inside her.
How are you going to confirm it?
A doctor of course has his ways.
As long as we make her sick, I naturally will have a way to check it.
If taking out the Dragon Scale Armor
will kill her,
what then?
Of course, I want to save Fuyao.
But I don't want to let innocent people get involved.
Is there a way where we won't harm anyone?
Brother Yue...
She already woke up.
I will come by everyday for the next few days. Although her illness is urgent, it's not life-threatening.
Thank you so much, Mister.
Prime Minister, you can go in and check on her. But don't tire her too much and let her rest.
Take care of Mister for me.
Yes.
Mister, this way please.
Mister,
ever since, disasters shouldn't involve the children.
Our family grudge has nothing to do with Qi Yun.
She's just a little girl.
Every person has their grudges and fate.
You're unable to put it aside nor change it.
These are all fated. Competing with the heaven is pointless.
Don't hurt her.
I beg you.
Don't, don't, don't. D-don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
I already took care of those few corpses.
No one will suspect this place.
You can be rest assured.
Right.
Are you tired?
I didn't expect..
I didn't expect that they will end up in that chilly manner.
They don't even have a burial place.
They wanted to kill you.
What's there to pity about?
They after all just harmed me once.
The god of destiny make fools of people. Who can you blame?
Thank you.
You better just rest first.
No. I prepared some dishes.
How about... how about you eat some?
No matter if you're hungry or not, eat some alright?
Why are you suddenly treating me so nicely?
This...
is it yours?
Mister said that as long as you keep this pouch with you,
Dense Beam Palace Hall will be the safest place here in the palace.
I knew it was you. I knew it was you.
I knew that you're my Lian'er.
I thought that I will never see you again.
It's really hard to predict things.
Do you know that when I was forced to abandon you,
I placed this pouch on you?
I thought that one day
I might be able to see you again.
It's been so many years.
I thought you were no longer alive.
No, Older Sister Immortal.
You still call me Older Sister Immortal?
Are you holding a grudge against me?
Lian'er, how could there be a mother like that?
It's not that I don't think of you.
I really thought you already died.
Do you know that I'm missing you everyday?
For so many years,
I've been inside this dark room.
I was suffering.
I had it hard. But even if I destroy my throat from shouting, no one cared.
I...cursed the Xuanyuan family hundred of times, hated your Zhangsun clan thousand of times,
bore grudges against this blind heaven for ten thousand times!
Good thing...
good thing you came back.
If not because you appeared alive in front of me,
I... I...
...I might really be unable to continue living.
Right. Before, I didn't know who you were.
I even captured you and hit you.
You're not injured right? Let me see.
I'm alright. I'm alright.
Don't blame, Mother. I'm getting old.
I have a weak brain.
Don't blame, Mother. Don't blame, Mother. Don't blame, Mother.
- I'm not blaming you! - Don't blame, Mother.
I'm not blaming you, I'm not blaming you.
I... but you're really not my Mother.
I'm an orphan. They said that since I was young, I didn't have a Mother.
They're lying to you!
Those are just lies that they fabricated
so we won't get reunited!
Oh, right. Look. So old and tattered.
It's because you don't have a mother.
Right now, right now, come to Mother's side.
I can...
...mend it very well. It's true. I can mend it very well.
No need, no need. It's alright, it's alright. No need to trouble you.
- It's alright, it's alright. - It's not troublesome.
How about this? We don't want these anymore.
You, take a look. You, take a look.
Lian'er, these past years, your my only yearning.
I will think about your physique every year.
Think about how tall you must be and made you a lot of clothes.
When you were little, I thought that you must be growing up very quickly.
Hence, I made a lot of colorful dresses.
Look. These are the colorful dresses. I made a lot of them.
And this one. Look. This is also a colorful dress.
Later on, when you reached the marriageable age,
I thought that you should wear a ruqun already (blouse and skirt).
Look. This is a ruqun.
Also, you should wear an inner clothing too.
You, take a look. Look at how pretty it looks.
Afterwards, when you were older, I thought that
you should have more loose clothing.
Right. Look. Anyway, I've been sewing these for these past years.
I was then able to gather these much clothing.
You, take a look.
If you don't like it then I can make some more.
As my daughter, you must look beautiful.
I finally found you.
You, take a look.
My daughter is so beautiful.
I'm going to let you wear a lot of pretty clothes, alright?
Come.
You, take a look. My daughter looks so pretty.
Wrong, let's not talk about these anymore. Go rest first.
I've asked the servants to go pick some flowers.
Have you forgotten? When you're little,
you liked looking at yuyan (beautiful jade) flowers the most.
That's right. That time,
I placed yuyan flowers on your head.
You would smile the whole day.
Having those flowers was really good.
With those flowers, one will become more energetic, right?
Let's eat first. Look.
Taste this. It's aromatic. Taste it.
- Quickly taste it. - Auntie! I've picked the flowers!

I seemed to have seen you somewhere else.
I've been here in the Prime Minister Manor for a long time. There are so many people going in and out of this manor.
It's not strange for you to have seen me.
No. It's not that.
You seem like an old friend that I haven't seen for a long time.
Prefecture Princess is currently weak. It can't be helped for you to have hallucinations.
You better just rest well. I'll take my leave.

So great! I finally am able to see you, Sister Fuyao!
Say, you little ancestor, why did you come here?
Do you know how dangerous this place is?
- I came to save you. - You...
You're here to save me? Can you do it?
I just have to save you.
Okay... Save me... Where is Little Tail?
Zhuzhu? She went to look for General Zhan.
I knew that you're inside the palace. Hence, I initially planned to sell myself as a slave to enter this place.
But who would have known that upon entering, they wanted to take my—
Take your what?
The root of my life.
I surely won't allow it, hence, I quickly escaped. And then, I met this Auntie and she saved me. Or else, I'm dead.
But I finally was able to see you. So great!
Say, you, you're really bold. You dared to come in here. This...
- Wasn't it all because of you? - And you're even looking like this.
What is this? Let me see.
This auntie doesn't like men. She only wants women to serve her.
I have no choice. I can only disguise like this first.
You're not allowed to laugh at me. It was very dangerous. Give it back.
- It quite suits you. - Really?
- You're quite pretty. - Give it back.
Say, this auntie looked so fierce. She was willing to save you?
You don't know. This auntie's temper may look weird,
but she knows how to dote on people very well.
And sometimes, when she couldn't see clearly, she would mistake me as her daughter.
Sometimes, she's sane. Sometimes, confused.
And think about it. With such a huge courtyard, she's living alone.
She's really quite pitiful.
Does it look okay now?
You're really fine?
For a lady, appearance is the most important. You must be careful in touching it up.
First, for this hair, you mustn't casually mess it up.
Good thing, this Older Sister Immortal is confused.
Or else, my altered face has already been exposed in front of this mirror.
There has never been anyone who told me those.
I also don't know how to be a lady.
That is because you don't have a mother before.
Now, it's different. You're back to my side.
You will have everything that other lady did.
I will slowly teach you what ladies should do and should think.
Actually, I've never seen my parents.
I don't know why they abandoned me after giving birth to me.
Too bad, you're also not my real mother.
Of course, I am.
Look. Look. Your ears, eyes, and lips
aren't they all exactly the same as mine?
This child is as pretty as me when I was younger.
In the future, you surely will find your ideal husband
and live forever bound by love.
Then, what about you?
With you being this beautiful, where is your husband?
My husband?
My husband...
What to do?
He doesn't love me. He doesn't like me.
He doesn't like me!
He likes her! He has always liked her!
They...have a child. The two of them have a child.
What should I do?!
It's fine now. It's alright.
I am the princess of Deep Water Nation!
I am a princess! I marrying into your Megrez Empire
is your empire's hundred years worth of blessings!
You...can't kill my Lian'er.
You all mustn't treat me like this.
No! You can't treat me like this! You mustn't kill my Lian'er!
- You can't! My Lian'er... - It's alright now!
You all can't! You can't kill me...
Never thought...that in your heart...
...there are so many sad things.
It's fine now...
From now on, I am your Lian'er.
Sister Fuyao!
- Sister Fuyao— - She just fell asleep.
- Bad news. Someone's here to catch you. Quickly escape. - Why will someone arrest me? Who—
Are you Lady Fair Yuwen Zi?
It's me.
That's good then. May Lady come with us. Prime Minister is asking for you.
It's like this. His Majesty made an order before
that I must stay here in this cold palace as a punishment.
I'm not allowed to casually leave. I can't disobey that.
Lady, His Majesty went to Forever Water to pray to the heavens based on ancestral edict today. He's not in the palace.
Prime Minister asks for you because someone from Changning Manor, your hometown, is here.
Your mother traveled far to come here just to see you.
Moreover, with the graces bestowed on you by His Majesty and Prime Minister,
it's still better that you go.
Prime Minister is so considerate.
I really have to thank him well.
It's just that I haven't seen my mother for a long time.
I should change into a more decent clothing and doll myself up. What do you say?
That's good too. Lady, please hurry. We'll just wait here.
For a huge event like the Forever Water Offering, why is Prime Minister not here?
Prime Minster, has a cold so he can't come.
He already told the court and asked for a sick leave very early in the morning.
The blessed time has come, let the water ritual begin!
Blessed water as a ritual giving.
The water area of the Five Regions, the far away Deep Water Nation.
Relying on the gifts bestowed by the heaven, such long drawn-out rivers.
Hope that the Xuanyuan clan can forever have a shining dome.
Water as the vital channel of the nation and is to be venerated upon.
Drips of intelligence, vibrant color and flowing.light.
Setting up a stage to make an offering, such sincere intention.
End of ceremony! Perform the great prayer bow! Kneel!
First kowtow!
Rise!
Another bow.
Rise!
Third, bow.
Up. Complete. Sinking of the ritual giving.
Water is gentle and firm. It has unending strength.
The weight of the offering, whether light or heavy,
is known by Xuanming (water god) to be of standard or experimental.
Alas, lying on the floor to respectfully make the offerings.
The great offering has ended. Xuanmin has went back to his palace.
His Majesty will now give out his blessings.
What do we do, Older Sis Fuyao?
I fear that we're in great danger today.
Huh?
Why don't we hurry and run away now then? Or else once we get to the Prime Minister's Manor,
there are so many people inside and outside, it won't be as easy to run away anymore.
What about this? I will go distract them, you run first.
We can't.
Why?
You... what are you going to do?
I can't escape. If I escape,
I will drag down a lot of people. They will all lose their lives because of it.
Then... Then other people's lives are lives, but you don't want your life?
Of course I want my life. This life of mine, I am not done having fun with it.
Don't worry. When necessary, I'll think of a way to escape.
Regarding this Water Ritual Ceremony, all the big and small etiquette probably tired Your Majesty out.
That's right. Let's hurry and go back to take a rest.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
According to the ancestral rules, you still can't go back yet.
Your Majesty,
This matter is related to the living of tens of thousands of people, it can't be done sloppily.
According to the ancestral rules, after the end of the ceremony, Your Majesty should also stay at the Forever Water Altar for a day.
Eat vegetarian dishes and chant the sutras. Pray for blessing for the common people.
Only then will the ritual be complete.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
If that's the case then let's follow the rules.
But the Prime Minister is past 50 years old. He is working so hard everyday
that he is getting sick. Hurry and appoint someone to pay a visit at the Prime Minister's Manor.
If Prime Minister really does get seriously sick, who would handle all the important matters of Deep Water?
I will go do that immediately.
Go then.
Your Majesty.
And I even have to live in a place like this.
Tell me, it's so cold and humid here, and I even have to eat vegetarian dishes alone and chant the sutras,
who knew being a king would have to suffer so much?
I understand how you feel, Your Majesty.
I already prepared it for you, Your Majesty.
Alright.
Your Majesty.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
You did quite well.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, I know that when you stay in this palace, you'll be bored.
And so I thought, no matter what, I must come here to relieve your boredom.
I even brought your favorite snacks from the palace.
I hope that Your Majesty won't blame me.
Forever Water is a place of misery.
Not only are you not disliking and avoiding the place, you are even willing to accompany me to here,
why would I blame you? It's just that I feel bad that a beauty
has to suffer with me.
Your Majesty, what are you saying?
I am so thrilled.
Bring it over.
Bring them up there.
Fuyao.
- Cao Cheng. - Here.
Arrange for some dancers to come here. Let me have some fun.
I understand.
What's the situation?
Hurry and let Xuanyuan Min go to the Prime Minister and let him save Older Sis Fuyao. Hurry! There's not a lot time.
I'm a bit tired today.
All of you guys can leave.
Your Majesty, that day, I was supposed to serve you at the palace,
I didn't expect that I would fall asleep because I was feeling unwell.
Not only did I not fulfill my responsibilities as a concubine, I even ruined Your Majesty's mood.
Every time I think about that, I feel very ashamed.
Your Majesty.
I don't know if Your Majesty can give me another chance today.
I'll definitely serve Your Majesty well.
Rong'er, listen well.
Don't scream. Don't shout.
Alright?
Alright.
Your Majesty. So annoying.
Your Majesty.
♪ How many threads of carnal love have drifted away along the water? ♪

[Prime Minister's Manor]
Lady Fair, please.
Lady Fair, please wait for a bit. I will be leaving first.
Godfather.
Didn't we say that I would meet mother today? Where is she?
It's not that your mother wants to see you, it's I who have something to ask you.
If Godfather needs anything, you could just directly ask for me. You didn't have to...
How dare you?
You dare to conspire with Xuanyuan Min in secret.
Godfather, you must have misunderstood.
I never conspired with the King in secret.
Is that so?
Then why is it that as soon as I arranged for someone to bring you out of the palace,
he immediately hurried back from Forever Water to find you?
The King is really in the manor?
Water Ritual Ceremony, a important matter like that,
he would ignore something like that and come to my manor to find you.
He said that he knows I invited Lady Fair over,
without letting him know about it first, he is so angry that he rode a horse and came over.
No one could persuade him otherwise, and that he must bring you back. Tell me.
Are you two so close that you can't bear to be separate from each other
or is there another reason?
Adoptive Father, I'm a person that got punished into the Dense Beam Palace Hall.
Moreover, His Majesty has never spent a night with me.
How could I dare to secretly connive with him?
You are just a pretext.
This guy ulterior motive isn't on you. It's on me.
Do you still remember? Before, you entered the palace
I told you that your birth star is an overlord star.
At that time, how did you answer me?
My life was all given by you, Prime Minister.
If you have any orders, as long as you say it, Prime Minister...
Now, you're already the Lady Fair.
Does your past words still count?
Even if there is thunder or rain, as long as you say it
and I can do it, I surely will not refuse and go through water and fire to fulfill it.
Being able to share your burden is my blessing.
Is that so?
Then today, your chance has come.
Since Xuanyuan Min ascended to throne, I kept enduring and making considerations.
But he has become more absurd and willful.
He has disregarded the life and death of the citizens. He's not worthy to rule the Deep Water Nation.
That throne was originally mines.
I made him my puppet not to breed a tiger to give me trouble.
Now, Xuanyuan Min has become a thorn in my heart and must be eliminated.
Today, he came to my manor alone.
That's like willingly walking into a net. This is a rare and great opportunity.
Xuanyuan Min is currently in the mid courtyard drinking tea and resting.
I want you to go and personally kill him.
Let me see your loyalty.
If he dies then I'll guarantee you'll have a luxurious life for the rest of your life.
Or else, your Yuwen family will die with him.
Your Majesty.
Prime Minister, didn't put you in a hard position, right?
I especially rushed back from Forever Water to fetch you back to the palace.
Your Majesty, I am just a secondary line daughter of the Yuwen family.
Because of Prime Minister's care, I was able to serve you like this.
Today, I am still under punishment.
How can I trouble Your Majesty to personally come visit me?
For the Winter Clothing Festival matter, there is another story behind it.
Sorry to have hastily punished you to go to Dense Beam Palace Hall.
Since Lady Virtuous was harmed by someone else,
we must investigate this matter clearly.
You are usually clever and cute, hence, I'm very fond of you.
No matter what mistakes you've made, I'm writing it all off today.
In another tea drinking time (10 minutes),
If she still doesn't take action
then kill her for me.
Yes.
Thank you so much, Your Majesty.
You...
Your Majesty. Your Majesty...
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
My god. You killed His Majesty?
Godfather, I killed someone. Godfather, I killed someone.
Let me take a look.
It's a wizard that's about to die.
It's his blessing to have died in your hands.
- Heng'er, spend some money to console his family. - Yes.
Don't be afraid...
I'm here.
- Godfather. - Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.
Come, come, come. Sit down first.
You're in shock.
Listen to me. It's just a small trick,
but I was able to see very clearly your loyalty to me.
I didn't think....
I didn't think...
...that you...don't trust me at all.
Everything have today was given by Godfather.
Even if it wasn't for Godfather but because of myself,
I surely will listen to you.
Being afraid is normal.
If you're not afraid then that's wrong.
I killed someone. I killed someone. I killed someone.
You killed someone for me.
I now know how much loyalty you have for me.
Listen to me. In a while,
I'll send people to escort you back to the palace. You must still continue living your days well.
Leave the rest to me.
But you have to remember that no one else can give you a luxurious life.
No one else will care if you're alive or dead.
I can protect you.
When you go back, just continue being your Lady.
You surely will have wealth, splendor, and glory.
In the future,
I still have a very important task for you.
I will remember it.
You...
It's you.
It's really you.
