Ashes of Love
Episode 22
Marquis Nanping's movement is quite fast. After just saying to invite the Saintess to come here,
he already asked me for a decree and sent people to fetch her.
Qin Tong, choose some elite trusted men and secretly follow Marquis Nanping's men.
You must ensure the safety of the saintess.
I'm going to protect the saintess?
I'm more at ease if you personally go.
What if anyone try to assassinate you? I am unable to be at ease.
It's fine. I have my plans.
I'll go make the preparations right away.
Cousin, do you feel better today?
A lot better.
I heard from Qin Tong yesterday that you were still very weak.
I then asked the apothecary in our manor for some lessons and chose the best ingredients
to personally make a medicinal soup for you, which can relieve your weakness and exhaustion.
You're so considerate.
Cousin, do you know that these past days,
I was so worried.
Leave the medicinal soup.
With the discussions in the court today, I'm a bit exhausted. I want to rest now.
Men!
Accept the medicinal soup.
But...
When will you turn back to look
at my sincere heart?
Taste the mountain grapes for me.
It looked very sweet.
So sour!
Liar! You're a liar!
[Saintess Hall]
Something happened. Look.
What's going on?
I don't know.
This hasn't happened before? What's going on?
Hey...
I didn't say anything.
Could it be that Auntie knew about us
playing kite yesterday?
I also don't know.
Saintess.
Do you know why you are here in the Saintess Hall?
I am slow-witted. May Auntie guide me.
Let me ask you this, where did the snow ginseng go?
The snow ginseng is gone?
If not because people from the capital came to inquire,
so the elders and I went to the pharmacy to make an inventory,
don't know when we'll discover that the snow ginseng is missing.
It has always been you who's in-charge of the snow ginseng's safekeeping.
Now, how come it's missing?
This...
Oh, no... Never thought that I'll get caught this soon.
Saintess, where is the snow ginseng?!
Auntie, I'm done making the immortality pill!
What?!
But...I have taken it in.
Because I was afraid of any lapses,
so I took in the pill in behalf of King Yi
as an experiment.
Such an important item...
you actually just ate it?
Auntie, I didn't discuss this with Auntie and the elders,
made a decision on my own. I'm willing to accept the punishment.
You...know that the snow ginseng is a very rare item.
If you're not completely confident, how could you just casually add it to the medicine?
Auntie, it was me who was not feeling well days before,
and took Saintess' pill without her permission.
I initially thought that it was just a normal pill, but who would have known that it was the immortality pill?!
- You... - No, Auntie, this has nothing to do with Qiang Huo. She just wants to bear the punishment for me.
This matter was done by me alone. I'm willing to bear any consequences.
- No! It's my fault! - No, auntie!
- It's me! It's not Jiang Huo! - It's me! No need to cover for me!
- Auntie! I— - Greetings, Saintess!
Greetings, Auntie!
King Yi has promulgated a decree and sent some men to fetch Saintess.
Oh, no... This man with a short life, he's not asking me to be buried with him, right?
I heard that King Yi has been sick lately.
The Saintess of the Sacred Healer Tribe is being asked to go treat and nurse him.
King Yi is sick?
Jin Mi, if anything bad happens to King Yi, what will you do?
Auntie, why don't you let me go treat King Yi first?
If nothing happens to my health, then it means that I've successfully concocted the immortality pill.
By then, I'll go look for another snow ginseng and recreate the immortality pill.
Auntie, don't worry.
I surely will follow the example of the past Saintess,
remember very well the ancestral rules and instructions of the Sacred Healer Tribe,
and will not disappoint the teachings of Auntie and the elders.
At this point, there's also no point to dwell on who's right or wrong.
Go and check King Yi's present health first.
Yes. I'll go accept the decree now.
Prince Yi, nothing bad must happen to you.
Auntie,
don't know when I'll be back from this trip. If any mishap befall upon me,
I'll leave the decision on who's the next saintess on you.
No need to worry about the tribe matters. I'll handle them.
There are a lot of rules in Beiyuan Mountain Villa. It's not as carefree as it is here in our tribe.
You must always be careful. Don't overstep your boundaries and don't forget your initial intention.
You must always remember your duty as a saintess.
Yes.
I will remember Auntie's teachings very well.
Qiang Huo, take good care of the Saintess.
Regularly report back King Yi's health situation.
Auntie, don't worry.
Elders,
Auntie, take care.
Auntie, it is me who took in the immortality pill.
If Jiang Huo will be the only one returning eventually,
may Auntie not blame her.
Not bad, Qiang Huo. We were quite in sync earlier.
Saintess, you're getting bolder.
You dared to lie to Auntie.
I also acted recklessly.
Qiang Huo, look.
That looked delicious.
Stop the carriage!
- Buns! Hot buns! Please look. - Jin Mi!
I want this one, this one, and this one.
Okay. I'll wrap them for you.
- We'll buy them all. Is this enough? - It's enough.
Thanks.
Thanks. Take care.
- Slow down... - Let's look here.
Cakes!
Wow, Jin Mi, I never seen this before.
They look so delicious.
They are delicious.
- Have a taste. - Since you think they are delicious, then let's buy them all.
- Is it delicious? - Yes.
- Miss. - Have a taste.
[Fortune Teller]
Fortune Teller]
Cover your face.
- Miss is an orphan, right? - You...
I never casually tell other people's fortune.
I only choose people that I'm fated to meet.
I think you two must be good friends that grew up together.
A relationship that has stood the test of times.
Also, are bearing heavy responsibilities.
In this trip, I fear that you might encounter a disaster.
This mister, what disaster are you saying?
One mustn't leak the heaven's mystery.
[Atlas of the Beautiful Women in Six Realms]
Miss is an immortal that came down to the mortal world.
[Flower Realm: Jin Mi]
You two really look so alike.
There was never a man who has seen my face before,
but this image looks so similar with me.
Could it be that he's really an expert that's beyond this world?
And Miss, you went down the mortal world this time to look for a man, your greatest love.
A man? That's inaccurate then.
Our Saintess will never get married.
Who is that man?
That man's name is Yan You.
Yan You?
This...what are these things written here?
Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman.
Those are just some notes of appreciation, so I won't forget them.
Atlas of the Beautiful Women in Six Realms?
- Over there. - Quickly go.
Who are you?!
I'm just a frustrated fortune teller.
Looking at your faces, misfortunes will be befalling on you two very soon.
You must be careful of your steps.
Miss, please get in the carriage.
Let's go.
Go.
Hey, Miss! I'm not done with my predictions.
Where are you going?
This mister, sorry if we can't tell you where she's going.
We have work to do today. Too bad, we don't have time to make a consultation.
But tomorrow, we'll be working in Beiyuan Mountain Villa.
Mister, can you come there for a chat?
Please read our fortunes. We surely will reward you handsomely.
Yes...
Okay. Okay.
Quickly go. Go.
[Liuxiang Place]
What is this place?
This is Liuxiang Place.
This is the best teahouse here in the city.
Miss has been tired from the journey.
Go inside, drink some tea, and rest for a while before we enter the villa.
Miss, please.
[Liuxiang Place]
Marquis, please.
This one must be the Saintess of the Sacred Healer Tribe.
This one is Marquis Nanping.
Marquis? Who's he?
Greetings, Marquis Nanping.
Please sit down.
I personally came to see you today
because I am very worried about Prince Yi's health.
This concerns the government of Huaiwu.
Hence, I want to meticulously discuss with you how to nurse King Yi's health,
so that he can stay healthy and live long to create blessings for the citizens of Huaiwu.
Ensure that Haiwu will flourish.
Marquis Nanping, don't worry.
King Yi's health is the concern of everyone in our Sacred Healer Tribe.
It is also my utmost duty.
I surely will do my best to cure King Yi.
Saintess, you're so considerate.
But...I have some details
that I want to privately discuss with you.
Ladies, please.
Hold it well.
- Okay. - Slowly.
[Beiyuan Mountain Villa] Here.
Give it to me.
Hold it well.
What did that Marquis Nanping told you earlier?
I hope that Saintess can regularly report to me King Yi's condition.
I want to know if his illness is grave or not.
I know...
...that the life mission of the Sacred Healer Tribe is to loyally serve King Yi.
But you must clearly think about it.
Is it just one King Yi's life that's more important or the hundred of lives
of your whole Sacred Healer Tribe?
Based on your tribe's ancestral rule, if King Yi dies,
the saintess must be buried with him.
But if you follow my instructions, not only can I preserve your life,
I still can ensure the safety of the whole Sacred Healer Tribe.
How come you're in a daze?
Could it be that King Yi is really severely ill and incurable already?
No. Marquis
just wanted me to be more mindful of King Yi's health and nurse him well.
That's good then.
In this trip to the city, everything was quite peaceful.
It's just that after entering the city, a fortune teller suddenly appeared.
He was quite mysterious.
Afterwards, Marquis Nanping's people had her enter Liuxiang House to have some tea and rest.
Because there are a lot of people in there, it was inconvenient for me to follow them
and didn't enter the teahouse.
Afterwards, the Marquis Nanping's people escorted the Saintess back to the inn to rest.
Fortune teller?
Investigate him too.
Yes. What about Liuxiang House?
Investigate this fortune teller first.
Even if you don't investigate what happened within Liuxiang House, I can guess it more or less.
Yes.
Did she move the whole Sacred Healer Tribe here?
Jin Mi, while the government situation was unstable,
I initially didn't want you to come here and be in danger.
But since you're here, I will do everything to ensure your safety within this chaotic situation.
Looks like this King Yi isn't as severely sick as we thought.
We've entered his villa for a day already.
He isn't even rushing to call you to examine him.
But these food that he had them served us are indeed delicious and are all my favorite.
There's one thing that is quite strange.
I heard from those maid servants earlier that there are no consorts in this villa at all.
But since time immemorial, don't kings have numerous women in their harem?
Also, I heard that this King Yi is unrivaled in heroic bearing and good looks.
There are so many women in this city who admires him.
But there are not one royal consort here.
Jin Mi, why do you think that is so?
There is just one possibility.
What possibility?
Qiang Huo, do you know what's the meaning of your name?
It's a drug with pungent flavor, warm in property, and has strong effects.
It mainly dispels the pathogen in the taiyang acupressure point and the cold and humid pathogens.
It has beneficial effects of expelling cold and dampness, and relieving pain.
It's for colds from cold wind, headache without perspiration, recurrent arthritis due to cold and dampness, and edema due to wind and water.
You can also use it for any swelling or ulcers, or any pyogenic infections.
- Nothing else? - Nothing else.
If you ask me, you really can't catch the main point in what you study.
Your learning skills lack precision.
Then...what else?
The main effect of qianghuo (Notopterygium root) is warms the kidney, helps the yang, normalizes inspiration, stops diarrhea,
used in yang...
It basically has something to do with a man's unmentionable illness.
Forget it. Just try to slowly understand it by your own.
Saintess. His Majesty is asking for you to check him now.
Lord Qin Tong is already outside waiting for you.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
I, Saintess of the Sacred Healer Tribe, greets King Yi.
Sit down.
Thank you, King Yi.
May His Majesty extend your hand so I can check your pulse.
Observing this pulse...not light not deep, the rhythm is normal, calm and gentle, fluent and strong.
There's nothing wrong.
Were you able to find out anything?
Your Majesty, is there any part of your body that felt unwell these past days?
My heart and liver both don't feel well.
Also, I frequently have headaches and blurred vision.
Poor appetite and poor sleep.
Wrong.
These symptoms might have been said by him to mislead me.
Could it be that he really has that unmentionable illness?
Your Majesty, you don't really need to have any worries or fear.
Although I'm a woman,
I'm a doctor first before a woman.
And since time immemorial, there's a saying that doctors are asexual.
Hence, Your Majesty need not avoid the topic.
Allow me to brag a little.
In this aspect, I have quite abundant foundation and have studied it meticulously.
I fear that in this world, there won't be anyone better than me.
Hence, I suggest His Majesty...
...you can try the herb qianghuo.
- Qianghuo? - Indeed.
Other than dispelling cold and dampness, this medicine
can also cure Your Majesty's yang...
It can also cure Your Majesty's...weak kidneys.
At this aspect, you have abundant foundation and have studied it meticulously?!
Are those words that a woman should say?
Your Majesty, you really don't need to worry about that too much.
The Sacred Healer Tribe exists for your good health to begin with.
If you can be healthy, even if I have to exhaust my thoughts and ingenuity, I will not refuse it.
You are overthinking. Your knowledge about that aspect will be of no use.
I am...very well.
Do you know why I asked for you today?
I don't know.
Aren't these the written conversation between me and Crow?
How come it ended up in King Yi's hands?
Your Majesty, these...
Do you recognize those?
I do.
Do you have anything you want to say?
Your Majesty, I have committed a crime punishable by death!
What crime have you committed?
Just to save a severely injured friend of mine,
I...then...
I gave him the snow ginseng which was a lead ingredient for your immortal pill.
But that time, I really didn't know that he's your enemy.
After saving him, he left without saying goodbye.
Hence, I don't know where he is now.
Enemy?
Then do you...regret saving him?
I never did.
As they say, a doctor must have a benevolent heart.
Try to ask any doctor that happens to encounter a terminally person, how could we endure not saving them?
Just like the noble warriors of jianghu, they would extend help when they see injustices.
I saved Crow out of my instinct.
I don't regret it at all.
Your Majesty, if you want to have me executed today, I won't bear any grudge,
but the whole Sacred Healer Tribe don't know about this matter.
May Your Majesty not punish them.
Your Majesty, if you really want me executed,
can it be just one hack of a blade?
That will be great.
Are you really willing to die for everyone?
I will die sooner or later.
I just beg Your Majesty to not blame the members of my tribe.
Your Highness.
Your Highness, are you going out?
Kuang Luo, I'm going out for a while. Watch over Xuanji Palace.
Yes.
Okay already. Get up.
I dare not.
Lift your head and look at who I am.
Your Majesty has an awe-inspiring and powerful face.
It shows vigorous might. A man of striking appearance that stands upright like a pine tree.
Towering like a Mt. Yu that's about to fall.
Your Majesty is enveloped by a cold light that I dare not look straight at.
A decayed wood can't be carved. (so helpless)
- Come. Look. - I dare not.
- Who am I? - I dare not.
I'm Crow.
Crow!
How come it's you? You scared me!
You can talk now? You can hear me?!
Why then did you not return to being a bandit and ended up here?
Wearing clothes like this, you indeed looked like a king.
You...can't really be the king, right?
Your Majesty, I admit my mistakes...
Your Majesty, you won't kill me, right?
When did I say that I'll kill you?
This must be what they say as obtaining good fortune out of a misfortune.
When Crow left, he said that he's going to repay my kindness.
Now, he called me over here, is he planning to pay me back now?
Just pay back a kindness then. A royalty's style is indeed different.
Even doing such long foreshadowing.
Your Majesty, there's a military report.
Saintess has finished her examination.
Come with me to the study.
Yes.
Never thought that Crow will actually be King Yi.
Looks like this life of mine has been preserved.
But I still haven't diagnosed his illness.
How should I explain it to Marquis Nanping?
Who could have been poisoning King Yi?
Head Fragrance Chief.
Jin Mi is in the mortal world undergoing her trials.
Why then did you come here to our Flower Realm at this time?
I'm worried about Jin Mi's tribulations in the mortal world and want to go down to take a look.
I especially came to inform you.
Night Deity, you're so considerate.
Jin Mi's life is full of setbacks.
May I ask Night Deity, if you're sincere towards her and doesn't have any miscellaneous intentions?
I am sincere. Head Fragrance Chief need not doubt it.
Anyone who exerts true feelings will look forward for the other party to repay with similar affection.
What if Jin Mi is an infertile land, that no matter what seed you plant or what fertilizer you add,
no matter how much you meticulously water it, not one flower will grow to repay your efforts?
Talking about love with her is like a stone sinking deep in the big ocean,
there's no news at all.
It being that tasking on time and effort, do you not fear it?
What is there to fear?
If time is destined to be wasted,
then I'm only willing to waste this life with her.
It's just that...why do Head Fragrance Chief have such pessimistic concept about Jin Mi?
Jin Mi is innately kind. It's just that since she was little, she has been devoid of intense feelings and seems detached.
Not one thing can enter her eye (catch her attention), so don't even say enter her heart.
I instead think that with sincerity, even a gold stone can be cracked.
If that's the case, I hope that Your Highness Night Deity's wish can come true then.
Night Deity seems to have a problem.
I know that Jin Mi's present trial in the mortal world was an order from the Heavenly Emperor,
but I just can't stop worrying.
I plan to...
You want to go down the mortal world?
Yes.
Going down the mortal world without permission is against the rules of the Heavenly Realm.
For Mi'er, so what if I break some rules?
I'll take my leave. Let's just play chess again next time.
Wait.
Be careful at all times.
Deity, don't worry.
So, Crow is King Yi.
King Yi is Crow. Things in this world is so unpredictable.
[It must be because you lack moral cultivation, karmic hindrance is too strong, hence, you don't have the fortune to...]
But the notes written here...
How come the handwriting is exactly similar to Crow's?
Could it be...
That Crow actually fooled me?!
I just knew it! With that prescription, he should have been cured in just 3 days.
He actually lied and pretended to not hear?! And even writing down everything that I said.
Isn't this deliberately trying to embarrass me?
Forget it. A magnanimous person won't mind a lowly person's mistake.
As long as Crow is safe and sound, then that's the best result.
Great deity! Great deity!
I beg you to make your presence felt. Make your presence felt.
Bless Crow, bless King Yi,
to have a healthy body and endless life.
This way, I don't need to accompany him to the netherworld that soon.
Bless me.
Bless me...
Miss Jin Mi, don't be afraid.
Great Deity, you really made your presence felt!
Great Deity, I'm not dreaming, right?
I really am not dreaming.
I've been dreaming of you since I was little.
I told others about it, but they won't believe me.
Never thought, I can really see an immortal now.
I really can see you!
Before I can only accompany you in your dreams using my primordial spirit.
Now, if I still don't appear,
I fear that I might not be able to make you stay anymore.
This very moment isn't a dream state.
I...when I saw you in my dreams before, you never talked.
You are...Medicine King Daoist Master Sun
who's was touched by my diligence in studying and came down to the mortal world to encourage me?
No.
Then...which immortal are you?
I'm just a...sanxian who is a deer pastor.
Where's your deer then?
I didn't bring it. I just brought myself.
Even if he's a deer pastor, he's still an immortal.
Appearing for a mortal like me, it's a bother for him too.
I instead focused on his lapses.
Why must I open the kettle that shouldn't be opened?
He surely felt that I've hurt his pride.
I think that your profession has a bright future.
As what was said in a novel, before, the great sage of heaven's equal Sun Wukong
started from the livestock field by being a protector of horses.
After going to the West to obtain the scripture, he eventually gained great prestige.
Buddha even conferred on him the title "Fighting to Nirvana".
Also, the Eighth Immortal Elder Zhang Guo, he was donkey-riding priest (Daoist) before he became an immortal.
Wasn't he dazzling and honorable too in the end?
So, I think
that you have a bright future ahead of you.
Completely the same.
Completely the same?
What is completely the same? With whom am I completely the same?
A friend of mine said the same words as you did.
I actually am fortunate to say the same words as your friend?
Then, is that friend f yours an immortal too?
Indeed.
Never thought that I actually have a bit of immortal fate.
Your fate isn't shallow.
Jin Mi, just call me Run Yu from now on.
Can I?
Immortal Run Yu.
[Beiyuan Mountain Villa]
The scent of that man who saved me
actually led me to here?
Is this a coincidence?
Who really are you?
Why must you use your spiritual energy to save me?
And why are you sneaking into Beiyuan Mountain Villa?
Stop!
Soul Destroying Arrow?
This move is...
Are you an old friend of mine?
As the princess of the Demon Realm, after seeing the Soul Destroying Arrow,
shouldn't you just be focused on killing me? Why ask so many questions?
♫ I wish to wash away my vanity and brush off the dust and ashes that cover my body ♫
Only now did I notice
that the firmament of our Demon Realm is actually this good.
♫ Unwilling to take part in something improper, ♫
♫ how could I predict things would turn out against my wishes? ♫
What is this?
Today is Princess' birthday. I saw that the manor is full of your gifts.
I hope that you won't mind this very shabby gift of mine.
The gifts from the different parts of the six realms are similar every year. I'm fed up with them.
I just accepted them out of considerations for Royal Father's reputation.
If this doesn't satisfy me, I'll punish you...
...to transfer all those stuff in my room to yours so as to not waste the space of my room.
I just wish that you won't dislike it.
What treasure is this? What's special about it?
This is very pure brass that I found
in a distant border in the mortal world.
So, the 3 months that you disappeared...
...was to find this item?
I've observed your weapon.
Your Demonic Bone Whip isn't like other swords or blades which can be easily embedded with accessories.
Hence, I searched this brass plate.
You can carve your name on it in the future and mount it.
How did you know that I'm jealous of Xuan Shou's sword tassel?
Since that's the case, let's start carving the words.
Princess, wait. If you use magic,
what's the difference of that with other gifts?
What do you mean?
Here in Qingtian Cave,
the names we carved together and the times we spent together,
even if thousands of years have passed will never disappear.
It will become a memory between us that will never get erased.
That is the gift that I want to give to you.
Thanks for being so considerate. I will forever carry this gift.
Okay.
It's your voice...Mu Ci.
