Ashes of Love
Episode 31
Liangguo suddenly gathered their troops and encroached into Huaiwu's territory.
Tomorrow, I must personally lead the expedition to fight Liangguo.
Your Majesty,
I heard that there are so many talented generals in the military.
Why don't you give them more chances and let them be the commander,
so they can experience mobilizing troops and ordering their subordinates?
Why?
I only know to make medicines, not fighting battles.
But there is one saying that I do now, "Generals die after hundreds of battles,
a warrior returns only after ten years." Although I know that being named "God of War"
means that you are invincible and enjoy limitless splendor,
blades don't have eyes and things are unpredictable.
I...
I feel very worried.
I finally heard words of sincere worrying from you.
It means that I have entered your heart.
Am I right?
Your Majesty, it's your turn.
Jin Mi,
promise me this. Once I return,
be my queen, okay?
Your Majesty.
My life is thin and my fortune is shallow.
I fear that I don't have the fortune to enjoy the blessings of being Queen Yi.
Why do you keep pretending in front of me?
That day, the way you looked while drunk,
is much more adorable.
Jin Mi, why not face your true feelings and live for yourself once?
Believe me. I surely will have a way to make you stay by my side,
and let the people in this world not speak any criticism about it.
This time, I also promise you
that I will safely return.
♫ From then, we will never forget about each other, no matter how chaotic the world is. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we met each other in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I will be waiting there to watch the sunset together. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we fell in love in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I will be singing there, performing under the moonlight. ♫
Miss Jin Mi...
Miss Jin Mi.
Immortal Run Yu.
Do you know that you've already been poisoned deep into your bones and your vital channels are destroyed?
I know.
This is my fate. I accept it.
Immortal Run Yu, don't feel sad for me.
Although I know that you came here for your trials,
I still can't bear to see you suffer like this, even if you're not you.
- What? - Nothing.
I surely will find the perpetrator and make him pay for it.
You mustn't!
Immortal Run Yu,
I have no desire to seek revenge. Each one has their fated life.
If Immortal Run Yu really wants to help me,
can you fulfill my one wish?
But this poison of yours...
even immortals can't cure it.
My wish isn't about myself.
It's about King Yi.
He's going to personally lead the expedition soon.
Can you bless him so he can safely return?
Have you fallen in love with Xu Feng...
with King Yi?
I just know that
if it's him, I'm willing to get buried with him.
But if it's someone else, I will never accept it.
King Yi isn't an ordinary mortal.
He surely will return safely from danger. You don't need to worry.
Really?
If it can decrease your pain,
okay then.
Jin Mi, only you...
are the one thing that I won't let go.
We can only break the enemy's defense through these points.
We must deploy some elite soldiers both above and below the mountains
to prevent the enemy breaking through at night.
- Informing Your Majesty. - What is it?
Say it.
Lady Sui He is here.
What?
Cousin!
What is a woman like you doing here in the military camp?
Cousin, even though I'm a woman, I'm still a citizen of Huaiwu.
Now that there is war in the borders, as a citizen of Huaiwu, I just want to exert some effort for my nation.
A battlefield isn't child's play. This isn't a place for you.
Qin Tong, escort Lady back.
Cousin once praised me for my comprehension of the books on the art of war!
Right now, I just want to do something for Huaiwu.
How come Cousin won't allow it?
I've already decided to stay on the front line.
Go through thick and thin with Huaiwu's soldiers and the border citizens.
Even if you send me back,
I still will return.
Qin Tong, protect Lady well.
Thank you, Cousin.
Never thought that Lady Sui He has this level of skills in strategy.
I'm impressed.
General Lin, you've overpraised me.
Lady, General Lin didn't overpraise you.
Lady Sui He is indeed a heroine.
Everyone, you've worked hard. Go rest early. We'll set out by mao hour (5 am to 7 am) tomorrow.
Try our best to reach the borders fast and meet up with Yu Li and the others.
Yes!
Cousin, how do you find my strategy?
It's easy to talk strategy on paper.
What's hard are the decisions you make during a battle.
Okay already, It's already late. Go rest early.
Qin Tong, prepare a tent for Lady.
Yes!
Oh, right. Does your father know that you're here?
Of course he doesn't.
This is a secret. Cousin, you must help me keep it a secret.
Did Puchi Jun agree to it?
Cousin, I already explained it to you numerous times.
That man is an expert in using evil techniques. That day, I was controlled by a puppet technique.
What I said were not my sincere words.
My feelings are very obvious and everyone knows it.
If you don't want me, I'll go kill myself!
Lord Qi, I didn't notice any strange activity in King Yi's camp.
Marquis.
Are everything prepared?
Everything has been prepared.
His main army indeed has rushed ahead towards the borders.
King Yi and his small army
will surely pass by Anyuan Pass tomorrow.
The topography there is very advantageous for our ambush.
This is a heaven-sent great opportunity.
This time, I must make...
his head fall to the ground.
Look at how beautiful these flowers are blooming.
Jin Mi,
quickly take in your medicine.
Qiang Huo...
is it qingyue?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
Protect King Yi! Protect Lady!
This area is still within Huaiwu territory. It's impossible
for Liangguo to set up an ambush here.
Stop shooting the arrows!
How come Sui He is here?
Marquis, we mustn't let this chance pass.
Spread my command to not harm the Lady.
For the rest, kill them all.
- Yes! - Attack!
Qi Chong? Could it be...
Stop!
Jin Mi, sorry.
Sorry, Jin Mi.
Get up.
Other than qingyue,
I really don't know any other colorless and tasteless poison
that won't get immediately noticed by me
and not cause any abnormalities in my pulse.
Slowly, it becomes a lethal poison.
I deserved to die a thousand times.
It is indeed qingyue. I just didn't know—
You didn't know that my body...
has an intense and unusual reaction to it.
Even Auntie Jing Jie doesn't know about it.
These past years, I've been testing medicines behind your back.
A medicine is three-parts poison.
Inside my body now,
what's flowing isn't blood anymore.
It's already poison.
Everything has its antagonist. Poison can counter poison.
The poisons inside my body actually have reached a balance.
These poisons for me aren't harmful anymore.
It's just that...qingyue has fire properties.
It's too lacking in cold.
It can completely destroy the balance inside my body.
When the balance got broken, the poisons inside my body
have become uncontrollable.
You know about the tribe's rules more than I do.
Why then must you...
Jin Mi, we are sisters.
It's impossible for me to harm you.
I poisoned you just to catch your attention
and make you leave this place as soon as possible.
Never thought that you would be this stupid.
I couldn't dare mention this to Auntie.
I...I...
Qiang Huo,
I'm not blaming you, nor am I blaming Auntie.
The tribal rules of the Sacred Healer Tribe are above everything.
I am the Saintess. It is I who broke the rules.
I shouldn't have fallen in love.
I deserve to die.
What's good about that King Yi?
You clearly knew that this would happen, yet you still fell for him.
I know...
I know that you're not a woman that looks at appearance and would easily get bewitched by it.
That's right.
What's good about King Yi?
I also don't know. I don't know what's good about him,
but I also feel...that everything about him is good.
Jin Mi, I've prepared money and clothes.
I really don't want to kill you.
Jin Mi, quickly leave.
Don't return here or to Sacred Healer Tribe.
I know that no one can beat you in terms of medicine-making skills.
Since you already know that it's qingyue,
you surely can cure it.
I'm not leaving.
Qiang Huo, this time,
I'm going to live as Jin Mi.
I'm not the Saintess.
I'm Jin Mi. I'm willing to use my life in exchange.
Father, what are you trying to do?
Sui'er, blades have no eyes. Hurry and come here.
Sui'er,
why must you be this obstinately persistent
for a man that doesn't love you?
If he really cared about you, he would have married you long ago.
Order them to retreat first, and I'll go there.
Retreat!
Come. Come here to Father.
King Yi, you see that?
My daughter—
Sui'er...
Father,
the kindness you showed me in this life,
I will remember it.
You are a good father.
But too bad...
compared to Xu Feng,
you are only...
an insignificant mortal.
Marquis!
Sui'er...Sui'er...
Marquis! Marquis!
Men of Marquis Nanping, listen well! If you put down your weapons now
and follow King Yi to the battlefield to kill the enemies, you can make up for your crimes with merit.
We will then not go after you for trying to assassinate King Yi.
If not, your crime is punishable by execution of your whole clan!
I didn't know that Father would actually dare commit the crime of attempting to kill the King to usurp the throne.
Your Majesty, you just successfully forced the Liangguo Army to retreat.
Don't you want to rest for a night first before setting out?
Cousin.
Go now.
Cousin,
my father is already dead.
Now, you are the only person left that I can rely on.
I know.
I will forever remember what you did for Huaiwu.
If you encounter any problems in the future, I surely will not just sit and watch.
I only have one problem.
That is how to make you willingly marry me.
Cousin, are you still bothered about my matter with Puchi Jun?
That was just a misunderstanding.
I...my love you for you is very sincere. The heaven and earth can bear witness to it.
In this lifetime, I won't marry anyone but you.
Sui He.
A man's fleeting life is just borrowed. If Cousin won't agree to it,
I also am not willing to continue living.
Sui He, I already have someone in my heart.
I am unable to accommodate anyone else.
Hence, from now on, I will treat you like my real sister.
Is that person in your heart...
Jin Mi?
Yes.
How come it's her?
She's the Saintess of the Sacred Healer Tribe. You and she will never have a future.
Cousin, I have loved you since I was little.
I did so many things for you.
Even my father...
Yet you're being this heartless to me.
Sui He, I know about your feelings.
I feel very grateful for everything that you've done for me.
But...
But it's also making me shiver all over even if I'm not cold. (T/N tremble with fear)
I know that I'm unable to repay it.
If you ever get in danger in the future,
I surely will risk my life to protect you. But regarding marrying you,
I really can't promise you that.
Cousin!
I've done all this for you.
What's good about Jin Mi?
Good enough that you won't stop pursuing her from the heaven up to here down on earth.
Sui He!
Because of what happened lately, your emotions are unstable.
Let's just talk next time.
How come Your Majesty didn't remove your armor?
- Is the horse prepared? - It's prepared.
I even chose a group of elite soldiers to escort you back to the mountain villa.
Take the Lady home.
Jin Mi, I will never let you get your way.
[ I don't have a name. I'm just passing through this mortal life. ]
Your Majesty?
Am I dreaming again?
It's not a dream.
You're back.
I wanted to see you as soon as possible.
What's wrong with you?
I heard from Qiang Huo that you're suffering from excessive internal heat.
You know that I never believed her medical skills.
Moreover, seeing how you're very weak right now,
the more I don't believe that you're just suffering from excessive internal heat.
Could it be you got poisoned from experimenting with those weird medicines?
Jin Mi, you know very well what your condition is.
Tell me, what's going on?
Your Majesty,
although Qiang Huo's medical skills aren't that outstanding,
she still is from my Sacred Healer Tribe.
Actually, I am indeed just suffering from excessive internal heat.
What kind of excessive internal heat can make you this weak and cough like that?
Although I don't understand medicine, you still mustn't lie to me.
How can I dare lie to you?
Actually, since little, my body constitution has made me prone to suffering from excessive heat.
Just taking in one lychee and I would faint.
But I'm good in using medicines.
Hence, I developed
a medical prescription that can cure such symptoms.
Earlier, I wanted to test the effects of my developed medicine, so I deliberately ate a lot of longan.
Who knew that I'd faint. I've embarrassed myself.
Where's the medicine?
How many?
Three pills.
Quickly take it.
Lie down and rest.
Your Majesty, I didn't lie to you, right?
After taking the medicine, I feel so much better now.
I'm fine now.
How about I accompany you to stroll in the garden?
Or...play some chess with you?
Promise me that you won't scare me like this again.
Your Majesty,
did you directly return from the battlefield?
What if I did?
I only heard about your might while on the battlefield, but I never personally saw it.
Your appearance when wearing your armor
is indeed as how they described it.
It looks good.

Princess Sui He, what are your instructions?
Personally deliver this letter to the king of Liangguo.
We will collaborate from both inside and outside to destroy Huaiwu.
With this letter, the king of Liangguo will surely personally lead the attack.
Using whatever means,
you must ensure that this matter will proceed without any mistake.
I clearly sensed Mu Ci earlier.
Yes.
Once the king of Liangguo personally leads the attack, Xu Feng will surely personally lead the army to face them.
Once he leaves Beiyuan Mountain Villa, go kill Jin Mi for me.
So, his target is Jin Mi.
Even without the Soul-Destroying Arrow,
just let her return to the Heavenly Realm and redo her trials first. I can't wait anymore.
Princess, please wait.
Heavenly Empress has initially instructed me to find the Soul-Destroying Arrow first.
She was worried that someone might use this arrow to harm Second Highness.
So does the Heavenly Empress know about your plan?
If that's the case,
immediately go to Xu Feng's side after delivering that letter.
If there's really anyone who will use the Soul-Destroying Arrow to harm Xu Feng,
you can then grab hold of the opportunity to steal the arrow and kill Jin Mi.
Yes.
You left without saying anything that day just to harm Jin Mi?
Jin Mi is my friend. I'm not allowing you to hurt her by even a bit.
Mu Ci, what really has happened to you these past years?
Why must you hurt Jin Mi? If you have any predicament,
you can tell me. I'll help you.
If you insist on harming Jin Mi, you are then my enemy.
That would be for the best.
How come I can sense the blood of my bone marrow here?
So fortunate that even though the Soul-Destroying Arrow was left hanging here,
it didn't harm Second Highness at all.
Jin Mi, sorry...
It's all my fault.
Jin Mi.
You must be crazy. Why did you take in three wuyin pills?
That's the only drug that can suppress the symptoms of qingyue.
But it's also a poisonous drug!
Trying to gain an instant effect like that, don't you want your life anymore?
My days with him won't be long.
I don't want that when we're together,
he'll see me being so sickly and weak.
I don't want him to worry.
Before, I felt that you're the smartest person in this world.
But from the looks of it now, you're completely an idiot!
Jin Mi. Jin Mi.
Jin Mi!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Saintess is currently changing her clothes. May Your Majesty wait in the garden for a while.
Okay.
Your Majesty.
You're going to the front line again?
I thought that after forcing Liangguo to retreat this time, they wouldn't be attacking again anytime soon.
But who would have thought that the king of Liang will personally lead the attack.
Therefore, I have no choice but to face them on the battlefield.
Your Majesty,
I...
...fear that I won't be able to wait for your return anymore.
What's wrong? You can't wait for these few days?
I initially thought that with your stubbornness before, we might have to waste a lifetime.
I initially thought that my most blissful moment will only come when we're lying side by side inside the royal tomb.
But now, you're willing to wait for me, willing to hold hands with me towards the future.
This bliss came too fast. Like it's a dream.
Jin Mi, are you really willing to forever be with me
and be my queen?
I'm willing.
But you promised the world
that you won't marry until you've united the world.
What's the connection of uniting the world and marrying?
Isn't it because you were so stubborn then,
so I had to make an excuse to stop the mouths of those ministers.
But now, I really want to immediately announce it to the world.
Let everyone know that you are my queen.
Since I've already promised you, I then will be here forever waiting for you.
Aren't you still
going to plan on how I'll get rid of my saintess status?
We have a lifetime.
There's no rush to do it at this moment.
But...
But what?
My being your queen is your greatest blessing.
In the future, don't think of getting any concubines. Even just looking at other women,
you're not allowed. Got it?
Of course, this is my greatest blessing.
How can I bear to let my eyes leave you?
But you still haven't seen my real face up to now.
How then are you sure that your eyes won't leave me? What if you find me ugly and you regret it?
Do you want... I'll take it off now—
No need.
No matter how ugly you are, don't even think of escaping my palm.
No need to remove your veil at this moment.
On the night of our wedding, when I remove your red veil,
at that time, you'll be my ugly wife.
I can't escape anymore even if I want to.
Sorry for not telling you the truth.
Your Majesty, just be at ease and fight your war.
Your Majesty, you should set out now.
