"Episode 43"
Your Highness.
Enough.
Bai Li Ming Xiang.
Why are you here?
Han Yun Xi.
You must be surprised to see me here.
You wrote that letter?
Yes.
I've been able to copy Brother Fei Ye's handwriting...
since a long time ago.
Let go of me!
Move!
Let go of me!
Brother Fei Ye.
Why are you here?
Your Highness.
The duch...
Why are you wearing Yun Xi's clothes?
Your Highness.
The guards we sent to Imperial Physician Gu's place...
said that the duchess returned to the palace.
Ms. Ning Jing.
Could it be that it was you?
So, all those guards came back with you?
What about the duchess?
What exactly happened?
Brother Fei Ye.
I thought you wrote a letter to Yun Xi...
and told her to meet you at Xuan Yuan Temple.
I thought you've a surprise for her.
So, I shook off the guards.
Bai Li Ming Xiang.
My father never hurt you.
Why did you kill him?
What he did to Brother Fei Ye...
is enough of a reason to kill him 1,000 times.
Long Fei Ye has never been yours.
You've no right to do anything for him.
Yes.
He has never been mine.
Even though I suffered so much pain for him,
he never developed feelings for me.
But, why is it that you won his heart so easily?
I can't accept this.
Why don't you kill me directly then?
You think I don't want to?
If I kill you,
will Brother Fei Ye let it slide?
He'll even hate me.
I'd rather die than let that happen.
But, it's different if I kill your father.
Your father is his enemy.
If I kill your father,
Brother Fei Ye won't do anything to me.
But, you'll be in agony and sadness.
That's your objective?
I pity you.
Because even if I don't exist,
you won't have Long Fei Ye's heart.
If I can't have him,
you can't have him either.
You're wrong.
Long Fei Ye will save me.
We'll never be apart again.
You're so simple-minded.
It's fated that...
only one between the two of you can live.
What do you mean?
Don't worry.
I won't kill you.
Because I've a better way...
to torture you.
What do you mean only one of us can live?
Your father was indeed the Poison Master.
His method was so cruel and savage.
If he didn't say it out,
who in this world would know that...
only the blood from the heart of the Poison Master's bloodline...
can cure a poison zombie?
Now that the Poison Master is dead,
you're the only one in this world that can save Brother Fei Ye.
But, to extract the blood in your heart,
you must die.
So, do you want to sacrifice your life to save Brother Fei Ye...
or live on selfishly?
That's why you killed my father.
Once he's gone,
I must die...
for Long Fei Ye to live on.
As I said,
if I can't have him,
I won't let you have him either.
If...
the Poison Master sacrificed his life to save Brother Fei Ye that day,
nothing would come between...
you and Brother Fei Ye anymore.
See?
Han Yun Xi.
I was forced to do that.
Bai Li Ming Xiang.
You're a demon.
If I can separate the two of you,
I don't mind being a demon.
Nothing can separate us.
Because even if I die,
I will live in his heart.
We'll never be apart.
Then I'll take the blood in your heart now...
and you'll never see him again.
Eunuch Li.
What are you doing here?
If I didn't follow you,
I wouldn't discover this shocking secret.
What do you want?
Once Han Yun Xi dies,
that usurper of Xuan Yuan Family won't be able to live long.
Ms. Bai Li, what do you think...
I want to do?
No.
You can't kill Han Yun Xi.
Only her blood can cure Brother Fei Ye.
I won't allow you to kill her.
I've seen countless of resentful and cruel women in the palace.
But, I've never seen one as twisted and crazy as you.
Why?
I'm not saving you.
I'm saving Brother Fei Ye.
You must save him.
Else, I will return as a ghost...
and haunt you.
Don't worry.
I will definitely save him.
I love him...
as much as you do.
Kill Han Yun Xi!
Your Highness.
Protect His Highness!
Your Highness.
Are you alright?
It's not serious.
Bai Li Ming Xiang is injured.
Let's take her back quickly.
Let's leave.
Brother Fei Ye.
Ming Xiang.
I...
really...
gave my all to love you.
I'm lucky to have...
met you.
I've never regretted meeting you.
Unfortunately,
I'm not lucky enough.
I'm afraid I won't be able to look at you...
and accompany you anymore.
Brother Fei Ye.
All my life,
I lived for you.
Yet, you abandoned me.
The truth is,
I lost my desire to live since a long time ago.
This isn't a bad thing.
I failed to educate my daughter well.
She put Your Highnesses...
into great danger.
Your Highness, please forgive me.
General Bai Li.
Let's leave them alone.
Ming Xiang.
I'm sorry.
Ming Xiang.
I came late.
Thank you for saving me earlier.
There was poison in the hidden weapon.
Fortunately, I brought the medicine pouch you have me.
Yun Xi.
Don't feel grateful.
You don't owe me anything.
Will Bai Li Ming Xiang's death...
affect General Bai Li's loyalty?
General Bai Li has been loyal to Qin Xi all his life.
Even after the downfall of Qin Xi,
his loyalty never changed.
There's no need to question his loyalty to Qin Xi.
I'm the one to be blamed for Ming Xiang's death.
If I could handle the problem properly,
this wouldn't happen.
Everybody chooses their own path.
You don't have to blame yourself for everything.
If necessary,
I can explain to General Bai Li.
You don't have to.
I'll settle it.
Your Highness.
You're always like this.
You keep rejecting me.
Tang Li, come with me.
Where do you want to go?
I want to check on Brother Fei Ye and Yun Xi.
Can you stop giving us troubles?
You think I wanted this?
How would I know that...
Bai Li Ming Xiang and Li Quan joined hands against Yun Xi?
If it wasn't for you,
Han Yun Xi wouldn't be captured and Brother Fei Ye wouldn't get hurt!
Bai Li Ming Xiang wouldn't die.
Yet, instead of reflecting,
you want to create more troubles?
Bai Li Ming Xiang is dead?
I was wrong.
I need to make up for it.
Make up for it?
If you really want to make up for it,
stay here and don't go anywhere!
Stop acting as you wish selfishly.
Do you know what serious consequences...
your selfishness will lead to?
I did it for Brother Fei Ye and Yun Xi.
If you still want to act as you wish,
please return to Yun Kong Academy.
He must really hate me.
I'm not gentle and graceful like those ladies from prestigious families.
I only bully him.
I even made such a huge mistake.
If I continue to follow him everywhere,
he'll surely hate me even more.
Your Highness.
How's General Bai Li?
General Bai Li said...
the army needs him.
So, he rushed back with Ms. Bai Li's body.
Give her a grand burial.
Apart from this,
I don't know what else I can do.
Grand Imperial Consort Yi left.
Ming Xiang left as well.
Your Highness.
I remember that...
you often advise Mr. Tang Li...
and Ms. Ning Jing...
to treasure the people around them,
so that they won't regret it later.
Now, it looks like...
you need to remind yourself of this.
Where did she go?
Xi Feng told me that...
General Bai Li took Ms. Bai Li's body away.
Before she died, Bai Li Ming Xiang said...
my father told her the method to cure you.
I know how to cure you now.
Really?
So, can you set aside all other concerns...
and tell me...
if you really don't want me?
If you can't accept me because of what my father did to your family,
I'll stay away from you.
I won't bother you anymore.
After producing the medicine,
I'll send someone to deliver it to you.
I've never wanted to let go of you.
I'm just afraid.
I fear that...
I can't give you a future.
I thought you don't want me.
I'd rather let go of the throne...
than let go of you.
Promise me that...
no matter what happens in the future,
you won't leave me again.
We must live happily together forever.
Alright.
I promise.
This place looks exactly like Yao Gui Valley.
This place is yours now.
Really?
Can I do whatever I want here?
I know you love Yao Gui Valley.
So, you can grow the plants and herbs you like here.
We've Zhu Yu to thank.
She helped me to set this place up.
Thank you.
Let's go in and check it out.
Let's see if you like it.
Do you like it?
Of course.
Good.
If you're happy,
I'm happy.
Your Highness.
Is there anything you really want?
"To win my beloved's heart."
"And till death do us part."
Sir, bad news.
Ms. Ning Jing left.
She left?
Did she leave the palace to have fun outside again?
Ms. Ning Jing said...
she's going back to Yun Kong Academy.
I'm worried about her running into troubles on her way back.
Sir.
Please bring her back personally.
She's such a handful.
I only lectured her a little and she went home.
She'll go to where she belongs.
There's nothing to worry about.
But,
I'm afraid...
Ms. Ning Jing might not come back again.
She's a troublemaker.
If she stays, she'll only create troubles for us.
I'll be glad if she's gone for good.
- But... - You may retire.
Yes.
Tang Li!
I finally freed myself from that girl.
I should be happy.
Why am I thinking of her?
Yes. I should be happy. I'll stop thinking about her.
Sir.
Ms. Ning Jing sent a letter.
A letter?
What letter?
You may retire.
Yes.
She's getting married?
Invitation to Wedding
Good.
From now on,
there won't be a troublemaker...
forcing me to marry her.
Good.
Sir.
Are you in a bad mood?
Imperial Physician Gu.
I'm fine.
Sir.
I've made arrangements for the Imperial Medical Institution.
If there's nothing important,
I'd like to take a few days' leave...
and go back to look after Ms. Yun Xi.
Alright.
Imperial Physician Gu.
Brother Fei Ye...
went to the Ocean of Plum with Yun Xi.
His Highness...
finally made up with Ms. Yun Xi.
It's a good news.
Imperial Physician Gu.
Can we talk?
Sir, are you sure that...
even after so many years,
you don't have any feeling for Ms. Ning Jing at all?
I'm an outsider.
But, in my opinion,
if you really don't like Ms. Ning Jing,
the fact that she's marrying another...
isn't a bad thing.
She said that she likes me.
But now,
she's marrying another man.
I won't want...
a woman like this.
Sir.
There are things...
you'll regret forever if you let go.
So many people try so hard to be together,
but to no avail.
You are luckier than others.
So, you should treasure this.
I believe...
you have found an answer.
I shall excuse myself.
Bride and groom, kneel and pay your respects.
Pay your respects to the heaven and earth!
Stop!
Master, this must stop.
Isn't this Mr. Tang Li?
I thought you left.
What brought you back?
Master.
Jing Er can't marry Brother Xie.
Why can't she?
Because...
Because I'm the one Jing Er loves.
If she marries Brother Xie,
she'll regret it forever.
Sinful student!
Shut up!
It's true that Jing Er loves you.
But, what did you do?
As we all know,
my daughter...
loves this man.
But, do you know what he did?
To be frank,
my daughter was engaged to this man.
But, right before their wedding,
he ran away!
He hurt my daughter so badly...
and embarrassed me!
Today is my daughter's wedding...
and he came to ruin it.
How despicable.
You vicious man!
No.
Ning Jing, you can't marry him.
Tang Li.
Considering the fact that we are teacher and student,
today,
if you are here to congratulate...
your senior and my daughter,
I welcome you.
But,
if you're here to ruin the wedding,
I won't tolerate it!
- That's right! - Right!
Jing Er, you can't marry him.
Nanny Zhao.
Please carry on.
Pay your respects to the elders!
Stop!
Ning Jing.
Ning Jing, you can't marry him.
Have you forgotten?
We're engaged!
You followed me around...
and made me fall for you.
Yet, you're now...
leaving me to marry another man.
I... I object to this!
I was wrong.
I thought I don't like you.
I rejected and hurt you again and again.
But now, I've figured it out.
I... I don't want you to marry another man.
If you must get married,
you can only marry me.
Congratulations.
Back then,
you were always playing with the other guys in the school.
You didn't consider me at all.
You wouldn't even look at me.
So, I did nasty things to attract your attention.
Jing Er.
I love you.
Please don't marry another man.
Looks like this sinful student of mine...
is really here to ruin the wedding.
Guards!
Jing Er!
Jing Er, you can't marry him!
Ning Jing, don't be stupid!
Ning Jing!
Ning Jing, come out!
You can't marry another man!
We're still engaged!
You're still my fiancee!
Ning Jing!
You can't marry another man!
I will treat you well.
I won't fight back...
or talk back.
I'll never argue with you.
You'll always have the final say.
Ning Jing.
Come out, Ning Jing!
Ning Jing.
You'll always do as I say?
Ning Jing.
Physical contact is rude.
You didn't carry on with the wedding ceremony?
I...
How could I carry on with the wedding ceremony?
You scared my groom away.
Who can I complete the wedding ceremony with?
Besides,
why am I so unlucky?
I had two weddings...
and both grooms ran away during the wedding ceremony.
I won't run away again.
So what?
You're not my groom.
Who's your groom if I'm not your groom?
If anyone dares to marry you,
I'll ruin the wedding again.
- I dare you to. - Bring it on.
You...
Since I ruined your wedding today,
I'll compensate you with another.
I'll marry you now.
Now?
Yes.
Now.
Groom.
Don't just stand there and smile.
Hurry up and proceed to the wedding ceremony with your bride.
Bride and groom, kneel and pay your respects.
Pay your respects to heaven and earth!
Pay your respects to the elders!
Bow to your spouse!
My dear.
The night is brief.
My dear.
Why aren't you coming over?
Something doesn't seem right.
I married you so impulsively.
It feels like...
I fell for your trap.
You just changed your groom.
Yet, everyone including master didn't look surprised at all.
On top of that, Brother Xie isn't angry either.
Also...
Look.
How come my wedding robe fits me so well?
It's like...
it's tailored for me.
Also,
your mother is absent.
Brother Fei Ye isn't informed either.
We could have held this wedding in the palace.
Why did we hold it in an inn?
Don't you think...
this wedding wasn't properly thought-out?
You were the one who made me marry you...
and ruined my wedding.
Now, you're accusing me of setting you up.
So, do you regret marrying me?
I don't regret it.
Why are you worried about all those things then?
I'll cut it out.
Ning Jing. No. My dear.
It's our wedding night.
Let's drink some wine.
Should we have our wedlock toast?
What's so funny?
It feels like we'll quarrel soon.
Who wants to quarrel with you?
Tang Li, can you be serious?
Alright.
I'll be serious.
I'll kiss you seriously.
The candle.
Drink this medicine.
You'll be fine after a few days' rest.
Does your wound still hurt?
No.
Lie down.
I thought you want to make a baby.
I'm not ready yet.
It hurts.
Are you alright?
Your wound is still healing.
It'll open up if you don't recuperate properly.
The wound healed already.
Why would it open up?
Your Highness, please get some rest.
I'll take the bowl out.
Brother Gu.
You came.
I finished my work. So, I came to visit you.
Judging from your complexion, you must be doing well.
Maybe it's because of the fresh air and beautiful view here...
that make me feel relaxed.
This is indeed a good retreat.
Since you're doing well, I can rest assured now.
Brother Gu.
I happen to have a question to ask you.
Please come with me.
It's here.
Look.
Duke of Qin built this place for the duchess.
I helped him out.
I live here now.
Qi Shao, are you happy?
This place is...
exactly the same as Yao Gui Valley.
Qi Shao.
Feel free to look around.
I'm going to find Xi Feng.
