"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 16"
Let me go.
Little goody.
Can you please let me go, little goody?
Do not bite me anymore.
Stop pulling me. Be good.
Be good.
I have something to do. I'll get into trouble if I'm late.
Little goody.
Fairy Jin Mi.
You're just in time.
Please tell it to stop pulling me.
I have something to do now.
Are you going to meet the second prince?
I am.
He seems to have something.
This is sent by the people from Qi Wu Palace.
For me?
Rice dumpling with magical prowess?
According to those in Qi Wu Palace,
Second Prince can't make it as he has something to do now.
What a temperamental birdy.
When will Fish Fairy come back?
His Highness has been called by the second prince...
for a discussion when he was on his way back.
It may take some time.
Seems like Phoenix still cares about me.
I have something to tell you.
Please.
Since you are engaged to His Highness,
we shouldn't intertwine with the people from Qi Wu Palace any longer,
don't you think so?
It's not good for you,
His Highness and also the second prince.
Marriage is predestined.
Just leave all the mess in the past behind.
Marriage? The mess in the past?
What does she mean?
This bird and beast,
both of them asked me out,
yet both of them stood me up.
What a good rapport.
Where are they doing?
I see.
That must be a place...
that can't be reach without joint cultivation.
They are really stingy.
They should have called me to join the joint cultivation.
Forget it. I'll eat these rice dumpling.
I've blocked Southern and Northern Heavenly Gate and all the exits...
to seize him.
I'll bring people to encircle him after we catch him,
it doesn't matter even if he resists with all his might.
After he is being lured out...
After that, count on me.
I fought with that man in black before.
If Yan You shows one-third of his attainment,
I will be able to identify it.
I have a feeling, it is highly likely that...
that snake is the man in black.
I thought that the engagement between Jin Mi and I...
would make us drift away from each other.
I never thought that you would care for me.
Why would you say so?
That's another issue.
It involves your reputation.
Moreover, the man in black is coming at me.
Hence, I have to clear your name...
and give you an explanation.
Your Highness,
Snake Immortal is heading to Xuan Ji Palace.
Oh, no!
Jin Mi is still in my palace.
Looking at the flower...
while eating rice dumplings with magical prowess,
this is as happy as the immortals.
This is a rice dumpling with 500 years of magical prowess,
it seems that Phoenix is getting more generous.
The flowers' shadow on the wall moved, seems like my beauty has arrived.
Pu Chi, come out.
You got me.
Beauty.
Could it be that you are also thinking of me?
Among all my friends, there is nobody else but you...
who can be so shameless and read such a shallow poem.
Night-blooming cereus is also called the beauty under the moon.
Tonight, a beauty under the moon is appreciating a beauty under the moon.
Good things do come in pairs.
Don't you think the Fire Immortal...
and Night Immortal are crazy?
They pay no attention to a beauty under the moon...
but they want to kill an innocent snake.
They want to catch you?
Are they making you into snake soup or medicinal liquor?
You are even more cruel than they do.
In short,
Po Jun was chasing after me,
I had no choice but to come here.
So, I'm here to bid farewell to you.
I wonder when we can meet again after I leave.
Do you really mean it?
Do they really want to catch you?
How can I help you?
What about this?
Let's pretend that you kidnap me. Hold a knife and put it on my neck.
Do you have a knife?
I'll get you a knife. Wait for me.
Come back here.
Did you read too many legends?
I don't want to be ground into dust by the Fire Immortal.
Didn't you say that they want to catch you?
What can I do?
It seems that you are not hopeless yet.
You won't get into such a plight...
if you've learned from the beginning.
Is there any misunderstanding?
I mean, if there is any misunderstanding,
we can actually sit down and have a chat.
Misunderstanding can be solved.
Come over here.
I'm not going there.
I'll go there if you let him go.
Go ahead.
I don't need a little grape to keep me safe.
Take him down.
No way.
What did he do wrong?
Why are so many people attacking him?
I'll explain to you later.
Pu Chi!
You are right on time, Fish Fairy.
But are you here to stop them or to fight?
If you're here to fight, you don't have to.
I guess Phoenix will perish him by himself.
Please ask them to stop fighting, Fish Fairy.
Please stop them.
Don't worry.
I've come to verify something to prove my innocence.
Don't worry, we're not taking his life yet.
Pu Chi!
Yan You.
Your water spell doesn't seem too bad.
I wonder how long can you take it...
when you're facing the Grand Master of Water Spell, Lord Night Immortal.
Night Immortal only practises water spell,
you may enhance your attack...
by using fire prowess if you can't defeat him.
Magical Flaming Pearl? It's him.
Leave now.
Rat Immortal?
I want to see the Heavenly Emperor.
- Your Highness. - After him.
Copy that. Let's go.
So you have a confederate too.
Please allow me to change my clothes.
The truth will be revealed in front of Heavenly Emperor.
Watch him.
Beware if he commits suicide.
Copy that.
Go.
Since we've aroused Her Majesty's attention on the birthday banquet,
just attack them when they are unprepared,
reveal it to the Heavenly Emperor.
This is the troop arrangement of bird tribe.
I gathered this information when I was...
playing chess with Elder Yin Que in Niao Yu Continent.
Please hand it to our master on behalf of me.
Give it to him by yourself.
Take it.
Don't turn back.
Stay out of today's matter.
Don't be impulsive, Immortal.
We can make another plan no matter what.
Leave!
Promise me.
We will discuss it again by Dong Ting Lake in early March.
All right.
The day when Fire Immortal was undergoing Nirvana,
Night Immortal was hurt, Fire Immortal was attacked by a sleet.
Did you do all of these?
I am guilty.
I'm here to confess today.
I tried to kill Fire Immortal and attacked Night Immortal.
I admit all the crimes.
Do you know...
how serious it is to harm the son of Heavenly Emperor?
The Heavenly Empress has arrived!
Greetings, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, you're just in the right time.
Fire Immortal and Night Immortal have caught the man in black.
That's great.
Go on with your trial.
I wish to know who is that bold man...
who has the courage to harm the son of Heavenly Emperor.
Do you have any witness and evidence?
Father,
the night when Fire Immortal was undergoing Nirvana...
I was accidentally hurt by Magical Flaming Pearl...
when I was fighting with the man in black.
Tonight, Rat Immortal put the attire again...
and broke into Xuan Ji Palace.
We found an evidence on Rat Immortal.
Where does this Magical Flaming Pearl come from?
A present from an old friend.
Old friend?
Magical Flaming Pearl is the greatest treasure in Heaven Realm.
Your immortal ranking is low,
who gave it to you?
What's the enmity between Night Immortal, Fire Immortal and you...
that make you lay murderous hands on them?
It's not about enmity.
It's indignation.
Indignation?
Tell me,
is Yan You, the Snake Immortal your confederate?
He is good-for-nothing
He abducted Fairy Jin Mi in the birthday banquet and ruined my plan,
why would I form alliance with him?
Plan?
What plan do you have?
Who on earth gave you the order to kill Fire Immortal?
And who was the one who instructed you to interrupt my birthday banquet?
Was it the Water Immortal...
or Night Immortal?
Father.
Mother is making biased assumption,
that isn't righteous
Father.
That was just a rage as mother is very concerned about it,
I hope you would understand.
Heavenly Empress,
mind your words.
Heavenly Empress needs not to use me to frame others...
in order to remove the traitors.
It's all done by me.
What a fearless Rat Immortal.
Let me see if you can bear it.
Bring it up.
It's Heavenly Empress. As I expected.
Your Majesty,
I've been looking everywhere.
Snake Immortal is deceitful, no one knows his whereabouts.
Thus, we can't found him yet.
I went to Rat Immortal Mansion to get him but he wasn't there.
However, I found his secret letters...
with various immortals.
Please have a look, Your Majesty.
Hurry and bring Rat Immortal here secretly.
Yes.
These are the letters between Rat Immortal and the other immortals.
Please have a look, Your Majesty.
Let's see who is close to him.
You're invited to have a chess match by Dong Ting Lake 15 days later,
from the Water Immortal.
It's just a chess match.
Why must you go all the way to the mortal world?
It must be a conspiracy.
Summon Water Immortal.
Roger.
What's the conspiracy between you and Water Immortal?
What's the secret in Dong Ting Lake?
I have been playing chess with Water Immortal for many years.
We only plan to play chess on a boat...
to kill our time.
We have found Xuan Ji Brocade Palindrome in your mansion.
What's your explanation?
It's just a letter to express my feelings.
You took it too far, Your Majesty.
Look at yourself.
I'm afraid you've used witchcraft...
and make a secret deal with Water Immortal.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Why would Water Immortal's personal belonging be in my Jia Zi Mansion?
It's a smokescreen.
Could it be that you've kept it in his Luo Xiang Mansion...
or Xuan Ji Palace?
This is the manual of Destructing Sleet.
It is a forbidden deadly water spell.
Someone has been conspiring...
to kill our Xu Feng.
I hope you would investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty.
We'd rather kill wrong than to miss anyone.
Water Immortal has arrived.
Rat Immortal.
Greetings, Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress.
I'm told that the man in black who ambushed Fire Immortal...
has been captured.
You're right. We are conducting an investigation now.
You may listen together, Water Immortal.
Since there is no grudge...
between Fire Immortal, Night Immortal and you,
why would you do that?
Who told you about the forbidden spell?
Who is the person who instructed you?
The secret manuscript of Destructing Sleet and Magical Flaming Pearl...
actually originated from you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you may recall that...
whom have you ever given...
these 2 treasures to.
No one instructed me to do all these.
I did all these without instruction.
It's just my indignation.
Blame it on the fact that...
Fire Immortal is the son of Heavenly Empress.
Useless rat!
How dare you be so presumptuous!
Today, I will be presumptuous...
to reveal your sins to the public.
Tu Yao!
Since you've ascended the throne of Heavenly Empress,
you exploit your power to reform the bird tribe.
Bird tribe has recruited over 20,000 new soldiers this year,
I have carved up new borders for the states in Yu Miao Continent...
and promoted 8 generals accordingly...
in order to manage every district.
What do you think, aunt?
You allowed Princess Sui He to form alliances,
eliminate those who go against you to strengthen bird tribe.
Flora Realm has stopped providing food to bird tribe for several months,
Heavenly Empress has given order...
to open the 8 granaries of Heaven Realm without permission.
Flora Realm is being arrogant...
because of Heavenly Emperor is tolerating them.
Send out my order,
open the 8 granaries of Heaven Realm.
Why don't I know that Flora Realm has stopped providing food?
Why didn't you report to me?
You have to deal with a lot of problem every day,
it's not worthy to mention.
I was just trying to share your burden, Your Majesty.
How dare you hide it from me.
Do you have any respect for me?
I was wrong, please punish me.
However, I am loyal,
the Heaven can prove my loyalty.
That was mother's unintentional mistake.
For the sake of her loyalty,
please forgive her, father.
Rise.
She has been framing others, murdered fairies and immortals.
Then, she allows Fire Immortal to use his forces and grows his ego.
She does not behave like a mother,
she is also intolerant towards others.
No one can ever be more insidious than her!
As the leader of the Zodiacs,
I have been hiding myself for over 1,000 years.
I can't bear seeing Heaven Realm to be fouled by you.
Even if I will be torn into pieces,
I will still uphold the justice...
to avenge those who suffered wrongful death!
You!
I was the one who attacked Fire Immortal during his Nirvana...
because I want to cut your bloodline,
so that you know the feeling of losing your blood relatives!
I purposely let a rat out in your birthday banquet.
I've already known that...
Fairy Jin Mi is the daughter of Water Immortal.
I purposely caused disturbance to provoke you.
Otherwise,
how could I reveal your narrow-minded and cruel acts to the world?
Otherwise,
how do I make the Water Immortal to stand against you?
Otherwise,
how do I make you and Flora Realm stand against each other?
Do you know that smearing a supreme immortal...
is a crime that will cause your spirit to be perished?
Justice has no fear of death,
why would I be afraid of death?
Whether I do it for the public or my selfish motive,
the facts will speak louder than words.
Your Majesty,
do you still remember why Flora Realm has been removed from Heaven Realm?
Do you still remember Li Ze Su Li?
Shut up!
How dare you stir up enmity?
Su Li just never stop bothering us.
Everything is clear now.
Rate Immortal harboured evil intention, harmed Fire Immortal,
contradicted Heavenly Empress, incited Supreme Immortal.
Every sin he did is unforgivable.
He should be executed as he has pledged his guilt.
I knew it.
You are all tarred with the same brush.
That's all I can do.
I have to entrust the master to you in the future.
Lord Dong Ting.
Take care of yourself.
Your Majesty.
How is it possible for a low ranked immortal like the rat...
to create so much trouble?
He definitely had some confederates.
Will Water Immortal and Su Li...
It's enough.
Enough is enough, Heavenly Empress.
Water Immortal has always stood aloof from worldly affairs.
Moreover, Night Immortal and Jin Mi are already engaged.
He is the parent of my daughter-in-law now.
Water Immortal would never conspire with the scoundrels.
Since that evil rat had pledged guilty,
Fire Immortal.
Yes.
Let's conclude and close the case.
Roger that.
Run Yu.
All these while, you have been wronged.
Now that the truth has been revealed,
your name has been cleaned.
Thank you, father.
Rise.
Water Immortal.
I really like Jin Mi.
Though she is not my daughter,
I have treated her like she's one of my own.
I think, we better bring forward the date...
so that she can marry Run Yu.
Father.
Your Majesty.
My daughter has low attainment,
she is not an immortal yet,
I'm afraid she's is not good enough for His Highness.
Water Immortal, what do you mean?
The rat stirred up enmity and
cast a bone between us.
I don't believe his words at all.
Don't you ever be framed by him.
Father,
Mi Er has just reunited with Water Immortal.
They haven't enjoyed the happiness of family reunion.
It's reasonable if Water Immortal feels reluctant to marry Mi Er off.
Why don't we let Mi Er to stay in her house for few more days?
Firstly, give Mi Er a chance to show her filial piety,
secondly, there are a lot of etiquettes in Heaven Realm,
Mi Er might find it difficult to get used to it after she comes here.
Please allow me to teach her slowly...
to avoid messing with the rules of Heaven Realm.
Thirdly, the friendship between you and Water Immortal is sturdy.
It has lasted for over thousands years, you're inseparable.
Whereas Mi Er and I love each other,
I will marry no one but her, so is she.
Our families have been close.
It doesn't matter if we get married now or later.
All right.
Just do it as you wish.
Night Immortal gets a lovely wife...
and a respectful father-in-law.
Congratulations.
We are all the flesh and blood of heavenly family,
you can't be unfair.
Xu Feng is also at the right age to get married,
Sui He and He also love each other.
Mother.
There must be a reason for the evil rat to rebel and framed Fire Immortal.
I think you better behave yourself properly...
for the sake of our next generations.
Put your effort to purge the inner palace,
mind your bird tribe.
Xu Feng.
The sky is bright.
It is. I feel exhausted.
But you still look vibrant,
you're worthy of being Night Immortal.
I have got used to it.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know who is Su Li?
I don't know.
When the Rat Immortal mentioned this name in the main hall,
the reaction of father and mother was too intense.
You're right.
It's unbelievable that father...
executed Rat Immortal on the spot in the main hall...
and closed the case in a hurry,
it's unusual, indeed.
I seem to know the name Su Li,
but I can't recall it.
I think it might be another love affair of our father.
It is not simple.
Think it over.
There are only 2 strands of Magical Flaming Pearls.
Father presented one strand to mother...
as a bridewealth on their wedding day.
Surprisingly, Su Li has one too.
This is not simple.
I'm not interested in father's affairs.
You can figure it out on your own if you are interested.
I'm going to the battlefield.
I know you can't let go of Jin Mi.
Whether Jin Mi loves you or not,
it's not possible for you to be with her.
What do you mean?
If I tell him the reason about Flora Immortal's death,
he won't believe me, a conflict might occur between us.
It won't be easy to advise him.
Jin Mi's birth mother, the late Flora Immortal, Zi Fen...
seemed to have discord with mother.
Even if I don't interfere,
Water Immortal will never allow both of you to be together.
What was the conflict between them?
You saw it in the main hall too.
Mother kept throwing mud at Water Immortal and me,
Heavenly Discipline was almost affected.
In order to pacify Water Immortal,
father talked about the engagement between Jin Mi and I again.
Not to mention you're the son of Heavenly Empress,
Water Immortal also showed his unwillingness to marry her off to me.
Your trick to retreat in order to advance is really smart.
I feel inferior.
However, don't you forget.
Mother has been a strict person,
but she is familiar with the laws of Heaven,
why should she break the law deliberately?
Most of the rumours cannot be trusted.
Both of us know mother's means very well all these years.
She has zero tolerance for anything that goes against her.
How could she let go of those who don't obey her?
That's all I wanted to say.
It's up to you whether you believe it or not.
I'll ask mother about it.
Xu Feng.
We are blood relatives anyhow.
I don't want to see you falling deeply into a hopeless relationship.
I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness.
But about Jin Mi,
I'll never let go of her.
Everyone knows that Jin Mi and I have an engagement.
No matter what you think,
please behave yourself, don't bring her any trouble.
That depends on Jin Mi's feeling.
Your Highness.
Po Jun Star Guardian came to report.
What?
"Zi Fang Yun Palace"
Greetings, mother.
You've had a hard time last night,
shouldn't you take a good rest...
instead of paying your salutation in the early morning?
I'm not tired.
I'm here to ask you something, mother.
I hope you can tell me the truth.
What do you want to know?
There's a rumour saying that...
mother and the late Flora Immortal were not on good terms.
Rat Immortal also said that you had killed fairies and immortals.
What actually...
So, you come early in the morning to question me?
I dare not to.
Rat Immortal is evil.
Why would you believe his words?
Killing fairies and immortals is a great sin in Heaven Realm.
You question your own mother because of what he said?
Am I such an evil woman to you?
Please forgive me, mother.
I'm just concerned about you.
I'm not mad at you.
You and I are the closest,
but there's one thing that really disappoints me,
your father believed in what that evil rat said,
put Run Yu before you.
He only cares about Run Yu's marriage...
and doesn't even care about your marriage.
Mother.
Let's make it clear beforehand.
I only take Sui He as my sister.
I have no romantic feeling for her.
Why?
Do you only love Jin Mi?
Jin Mi is now the fiancée of Run Yu.
You won't fight with your brother because of a woman, won't you?
It is inappropriate to do so.
What's wrong with Sui He?
She has the power of bird tribe.
Run Yu has gained...
the support of Water Immortal and Flora Realm.
Only by marrying Sui He,
you can ascend the throne with no threats.
I never intend to take father's place.
Father is very unhappy with you...
after what happened to Rat Immortal.
Apart from that,
last night, I saw a thief turned into smoke and fled...
from Jia Zi Mansion of Rat Immortal.
My men went after him,
this thief had actually sneaked into your palace, mother.
Possessing Shadow Guardian in secret is father's taboo.
I hope you will solve it as soon as possible, mother.
Be cautious in the future.
Don't make father angry again.
I will excuse myself now.
Useless!
Two things.
Find out the real reason of...
the death of the late Flora Immortal 4,000 years ago...
and also to investigate...
someone who's named Su Li.
Copy that.
Do you have any unfulfilled wish?
My heart is wretched.
I'm free from being tied down.
Home is where the heart is.
Home is where the heart is,
but where my heart is?
I cannot stay in Heaven Realm any longer.
Rat Immortal.
You stand me up.
Did you leave any traces when you attacked Fire Immortal?
One Magical Flaming Pearl has gone missing.
Give it to me.
Don't meddle in this matter anymore.
No way.
What should I tell master if something happens to you?
You must tell master after you go back,
be patient, everything will go smoothly.
Luo Lin.
You should know the reason I'm looking for you.
You stood up for me in the main hall,
but you still don't trust me,
you still think that I conspired with the Rat Immortal.
I want to hear it from you.
What do you know about that?
I know as much as you do, Your Majesty.
However, as I know,
Rat Immortal and you had a pretty good relationship in Heaven Realm.
Both of you had always been playing chess together,
wouldn't both of you talk about something else?
If he had told me anything,
I would have reunited with Jin Mi long time ago.
I would have known...
all the sufferings that Zi Fen had gone through back then.
Though Rat Immortal had evil intention,
you should not have executed him hastily, Your Majesty.
He talked too much.
I have to take care of the reputation of the heavenly family.
You do not care about the truth just because of reputation?
Luo Lin.
Even though you choose to stand aloof from worldly affairs,
you should know that I care about you, I trust you.
I hope you will never disappoint me.
Higher! Higher!
- You will fall on the ground! - I'm not afraid.
Father will protect me if I fall.
- Jin Mi. - Jin Mi.
See, I told you.
I said father will definitely catch me, look.
You scared me.
You should not joke like this no matter how much you trust me.
What should I do if something goes wrong?
I understand.
Lin Xiu and I have to thank both of you today.
All these years,
I haven't never fulfilled my duty as a father.
I owe Mi Er a lot.
Thanks for your care and companion...
she has grown up safely.
I can't thank you enough for all your kindness.
Chief Zhang.
You've been taking good care of Mi Er...
since she was born.
By using tea instead of wine,
Luo Lin and I would like to give you a toast.
It's my responsibility to take care of little chief.
Jin Mi.
I've discussed with your parents.
You have just recovered. You shouldn't travel far.
After Heaven Realm regains peace...
and you are getting healthier,
then only you move back to Luo Xiang Mansion to stay with your parents.
I'll invite your parents to stay in Flora Realm...
to take care of you during this period, is that all right?
Are you serious, Chief Zhang?
We move to Flora Realm to take care of you...
and teach you in practicing your magical prowess.
That's great.
I can make Mi Er a good meal.
Do you mean it, Aunt Lin Xiu? That's amazing!
I don't have to be envious of Lian Qiao now.
Lian Qiao's mother always tempted me with her cooking last time.
Well, Aunt Lin Xiu is going to cook for me now.
I won't be tempted by her mother's cooking anymore.
Right?
