"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 31"
Liang Guo suddenly assembles forces to attack Huai Wu.
Tomorrow, I'll lead the soldiers myself...
to fight against Liang Guo.
My Lord, there are many capable men in the army.
Why don't you give them more opportunities...
to be the commander and lead the army?
Why?
I only know how to make medicine. I know nothing about the wars,
but there is one thing that I know.
Generals die in 100 battles, great warriors only return after 10 years.
I know the God of Wars is invincible and enjoys much glory.
But weapons have no eyes, you'll never know what's going to happen.
I...
I'm very worried.
I've finally heard some words of genuine concern from you.
It shows that I have a place in your heart.
Right?
My Lord, it is your turn.
Jin Mi,
promise me.
Wait for me to come back.
Are you willing to be my queen then?
My Lord,
I don't have such good fortune...
to be King Yi's queen.
Why do you always put on an act before me?
When you were drunk that day,
you were more likable.
Jin Mi,
why don't you follow your heart...
and live for yourself for once?
Believe me.
I'll find a way to keep you by my side...
and stop others from judging us.
This time,
I also promise you...
that I'll come back safely.
We will never forget each other,
despite how frantic the world becomes.
In the love letter, I found the place...
where we meet every life.
There, I'll wait for us to...
watch the setting sun.
In the love letter, I found the place...
where we love in every life.
There, I'll sing...
in the moonlight.
Miss Jin Mi.
Immortal Run Yu.
Do you know that the poison has penetrated into your bone marrow?
Damaged your heart and blood veins.
I know.
This is my destiny.
I accept it.
Immortal Run Yu, don't feel sad for me.
I know you're here to face the redemption,
but I still can't bear to see you suffer.
Even though you are not yourself...
- What? - Nothing.
I'll find the culprit and seek revenge for you.
You can't do this.
Immortal Run Yu, I don't intend to avenge myself.
Each has his or her own fate.
If you really want to help me,
can you fulfill one of my requests?
But the poison...
even immortals are helpless.
I'm not asking your help for myself,
but for King Yi.
He is going to lead the army in the war.
Can you protect him and bring him back safely?
Do you have feelings for Xu Feng...
for King Yi?
I only know that...
if it were for him,
I'm willing to be his funerary.
If it were for others,
I'll definitely refuse.
King Yi is no ordinary man.
He will surely be safe.
You don't have to worry about him.
Really?
It isn't that bad if I can ease your pain.
Jin Mi, but you...
I'll never let you go.
We can only break through the enemy's defence...
from these places.
Station veteran soldiers...
on top and at the bottom of the mountain,
in case the enemy attacks us at night.
My Lord.
What is it?
Say it.
Princess Sui He is here.
What?
Cousin.
What is a woman doing in the military camp?
Cousin, even though I am a woman,
I'm also a citizen of Huai Wu.
The border is in danger, as the people of Huai Wu,
I want to serve my country.
Battlefield is no game.
You shouldn't be here.
Qin Tong, send the princess back.
I studied military books and you even gave me your compliments.
I only want to do something for Huai Wu now.
Why don't you allow me?
I've made up my mind to stay in the front line,
go through thick and thin with the army and people at the border.
Even if you send me away,
I'll come again.
Qin Tong, keep the princess safe.
Thanks cousin.
Princess, I didn't expect you to come up with such a good strategy.
I'm so impressed.
General Lin, you flattered me.
Princess, I wasn't exaggerating.
You are indeed a heroin.
Thank you everyone.
Rest early today.
We'll depart at 5 in the morning,
get to the border as soon as possible to meet up with Yu Li and the others.
Yes.
Cousin, what do you think about my strategy?
It is easier said than done.
The hardest part is making decision on the battlefield.
Alright, it is getting late.
You should rest early.
Qin Tong, fix up a tent for princess.
Yes.
By the way,
does your father know that you are here?
He certainly doesn't know.
This is a secret.
You must keep this secret for me.
Did Pu Chi agree?
Cousin, I've explained to you many times.
That fellow masters black magic.
I was manipulated by his puppet spell that day.
I didn't mean what I said.
Everyone knows my feelings towards you.
If you don't want me,
I'll just kill myself.
Lord Ji,
there's nothing unusual on King Yi's side.
Yes.
Lord Nanping.
Is it all set?
It's all set.
His troop has gone to the border.
King Yi and his team...
will definitely march through An Yuan Barrier.
The terrain there is very beneficial to our ambush.
This is a great opportunity.
This time, he must be...
beheaded.
Look.
How beautiful these flowers are.
Jin Mi,
just take the medicine.
Qiang Huo,
is this Qing Yue?
Protect King Yi.
Protect princess!
This is the territory of Huai Wu.
Liang Guo is unlikely to ambush here.
Stop shooting!
Why is Sui He here?
Lord Nanping, we must not miss this chance.
Tell them not to hurt princess.
As for the rest,
- kill them all. - Yes.
March!
Qi Chong? Could it be...
Stop!
Jin Mi, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jin Mi.
Get up.
Besides Qing Yue,
I really don't know...
another colourless and flavourless poison...
that I can't discover immediately.
It causes no pulse abnormality...
but it kills me slowly.
I'm really sorry, it is Qing Yue.
But I don't know...
But you don't know that...
unlike others, my body has strong reaction to Qing Yue.
In fact, even Aunt Jing Jie doesn't know about it.
I've been testing medicine...
behind your back all these years.
All medicines are somewhat toxic.
What is flowing in my body now...
is not blood but poison.
Everything counteracts one another. Fight poison with poison.
Originally, the poisons in my body...
have struck a balance.
They were harmless to me.
But...
Qing Yue is heaty.
Overdosing can generate cold...
and destroy the balance of my body,
causing an outbreak one day.
The poisons in my body...
will no longer be under control.
You know the rules of the Holy Healer Tribe better than me.
Why do you still want...
Jin Mi, we are sisters.
I won't hurt you.
I poisoned you...
as I hope you'll be alerted...
and leave here as soon as possible.
I never thought you'd be so silly.
I don't dare to mention it to aunt.
I...
Qiang Huo.
I don't blame you and aunt.
The rules of the Holy Healer Tribe are above everything else.
I am the Saintess.
And I broke the rules.
I shouldn't fall in love.
I deserve to die.
What's so special about him?
You know the consequences,
but you still fall for him.
I know.
You are not a girl who is easily fooled by one's look.
Right.
What is so special about King Yi?
I also don't know.
I don't know what's so special about him.
Yet, I think...
he is very special to me.
Jin Mi, I've prepared some money...
and packed some clothes.
I really don't want to kill you.
Jin Mi, you'd better leave at once.
Never come back again.
Don't come back to the Holy Healer Tribe.
I know that no one can beat you in making medicine.
Since you knew it is Qing Yue poison,
you'll definitely find the antidote.
I won't leave.
Qiang Huo.
This time,
I want to live as Jin Mi,
not as the Saintess.
I'm Jin Mi.
I'm willing to exchange it with my life.
Father, what do you want to do?
Sui Er, weapons have no eyes.
Come over here.
Sui Er.
Why are you so obstinate...
for someone who doesn't love you?
If he really cares about you,
he would have married you.
Ask them to retreat first and I'll go to you.
Retreat!
Come.
Come to me.
King Yi, did you see?
My daughter...
Sui Er.
Father.
You've been very nice to me.
I will remember it.
You are a good father.
But unfortunately,
compared to Xu Feng,
you are merely...
a mortal of no importance.
Lord Nanping.
Sui Er.
Lord Nanping.
Listen, Lord Nanping's men.
If you drop your weapons now...
and follow King Yi to fight with the enemy,
you can redeem yourself.
You won't be held responsible for assassinating King Yi.
If not, all your family and relatives will be executed.
I don't know my father would try to murder you to seize the throne.
I...
My Lord has defeated Liang Guo's army,
why don't you stay for another night?
Cousin.
You may go.
Cousin.
My father is dead.
I can only rely on you now.
I know.
What you've done for Huai Wu this time,
I'll keep it in my mind.
If you have any trouble in future,
I won't stand aside.
I only have one trouble...
which is how to make you marry me willingly.
Do you still mind about what happened between me and Pu Chi?
That was a misunderstanding.
Heaven and earth can prove my love for you.
I won't marry anyone else except you.
Sui He.
Life is unpredictable.
If you don't say yes,
I don't want to live anymore.
Sui He.
There's someone in my heart.
It has no room for anyone else.
So from now on,
I'll treat you as my own sister.
Is the person in your heart...
Jin Mi?
Yes.
Why her?
She is the Saintess of Holy Healer Tribe, both of you won't be together!
Cousin.
I have my heart set on you since young.
I've done so much for you.
Even my father was...
Do you really want to be so heartless to me?
Sui He.
I know your feelings towards me.
I'm grateful for what you've done for me.
But...
it also scares me.
I know I'm unable to pay you back.
From now on,
if you are in danger.
I'll surely risk my life to protect you.
But to marry you...
I really can't do it.
Cousin,
I did everything for you.
What's so special about Jin Mi?
You're so obsessed with her and never give up.
Sui He!
You've become agitated because of what's happened these few days.
We'll talk again.
My Lord, why haven't you taken off the armour?
- Is the horse ready? - It is ready.
I've selected a group of veteran soldiers...
- to escort you back to the villa. - Send princess back.
Jin Mi, I won't let you get what you want.
"A man with no name, a passerby of this world."
My Lord,
am I dreaming again?
It is not a dream.
You're back.
I want to see you sooner.
What happened to you?
Qiang Huo said that you have excessive inner heat.
You know that I never believe in her medical skills.
Not to mention that you are so weak now.
It makes me even more skeptical.
Did you get poisoned by those funny medicines...
that you've been studying all days?
Jin Mi, you know best what are the symptoms...
that you have.
Tell me what's going on?
My Lord,
although Qiang Huo is not as good as me,
she is also from the Holy Healer Tribe.
I really have excessive inner heat.
What heat can make you become so weak...
and cause such a bad cough?
I'm not an expert in medicines,
you cannot lie to me.
I don't dare to lie to you.
In fact,
I easily have excessive inner heat ever since I was a kid.
I'll pass out if I eat a lychee.
But I am good with medicines.
So I've created a remedy...
for curing the illness.
I wanted to try the remedy just now,
so I ate a bunch of longans.
Who knows it made me pass out right away.
Sorry, My Lord.
Where is the medicine?
How much should you take?
Three pills.
Eat it, quickly.
Lay down and have a good rest.
My Lord, I didn't lie to you, right?
After taking the medicine, I'm feeling much better.
I'm fine.
What about we take a walk...
in the garden?
Or we can play chess.
Promise me.
Don't scare me like that anymore.
My Lord, did you just rush back from the battlefield?
Yes, so?
I've heard of the reputable name of the God of Wars,
but never have I seen you wearing armour.
You're as good looking as they said.
Princess Sui He, what can I do for you?
Give this letter to the king of Liang Guo.
I'll collaborate with him to wipe out Huai Wu.
With this letter,
the king will definitely lead the soldier himself.
By whatever means,
you must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
I sensed Mu Chi's presence just now.
Yes.
If the king of Liang Guo leads the army himself,
Xu Feng will definitely fight with him personally.
After he leaves Northern Garden Villa,
kill Jin Mi for me.
It turns out that his target is Jin Mi.
Even without the Immortality Destructing Arrow,
we still can send her back to the Heaven Realm to restart the calamity.
I can't wait any longer.
Be patient, princess.
Heavenly Empress has instructed me...
to retrieve the Immortality Destructing Arrow first.
She worries that...
someone will use the arrow to hurt the second prince.
Does Heavenly Empress know about...
your arrangement?
If that is the case,
after delivering the letter, you can go and find Xu Feng.
If anyone wants to hurt him with the Immortality Destructing Arrow,
you can use the opportunity to snatch the arrow and kill Jin Mi.
Yes.
Did you leave without saying goodbye...
because you wanted to kill Jin Mi?
Jin Mi is my friend.
I won't let you hurt her.
Mu Chi, what has happened to you all these years?
Why do you want to kill Jin Mi?
Just tell me if you have your reasons.
I'll help you.
If you insist on killing Jin Mi,
you will be my enemy then.
It is better this way.
Why do I smell the scent of my blood and bones here?
Luckily,
the Immortality Destructing Arrow is hanging here...
but the second prince remains unharmed.
Jin Mi, I'm sorry.
It is all my fault.
Jin Mi.
You must be crazy.
You actually took 3 Wu Yin pills?
This is the only medicine...
that can suppress the symptoms of Qing Yue.
But it is also a deadly poison.
You're so anxious for immediate effect, do you want to die?
I don't have much time with him.
I don't want to look sick...
when we are together.
I don't want him to worry about me.
I used to think that you're the smartest person in the world.
But it turns out that...
you are an utter fool.
Jin Mi.
Jin Mi!
My Lord.
My Lord,
Saintess is changing.
Please wait in the garden for a moment.
Alright.
My Lord.
Are you going to the front line again?
I thought after I defeated Liang Guo,
they won't take any action in a short time.
But who knows...
the king of Ling Guo is leading the army himself,
so I have to fight him personally.
My Lord,
I...
am afraid that I can't wait until then.
Why can't you wait for a few days?
I thought...
we would waste our entire life before we could be together...
because you were so stubborn.
I thought the happiest moment of my life will come...
only after both of us are dead.
But now...
you're willing to wait for me...
and build the future with me.
The happiness comes too soon.
It is like a dream.
Jin Mi,
do you want to be my queen...
and be with me forever?
I do.
But what about your promise to the people?
That you won't get married...
before you unify the 4 seas.
What do these two have to do with each other?
You were so head-strong.
So I had to find an excuse to shut the mouths of the ministers.
But right now,
I really want to announce to the world.
I want to let everyone know...
that you're my queen.
Since I've said yes,
I'll always wait for you here.
Don't you want to help me...
to get rid of my identity as a Saintess?
We have a lifetime.
No need to rush.
But...
But what?
Having me as your queen...
is your greatest blessing.
You can't keep other concubines...
or take a glance at other women.
Alright?
Of course this is my greatest blessing.
How can I take my eyes off you?
But you still haven't seen how do I look like.
How do you know that you can't take your eyes off me?
What if I'm very ugly and you regret it?
Do you want me...
- to take it off now? - No need.
I won't let you go even if you are very ugly.
You don't have to remove your veil now.
Wait until our wedding night,
I'll remove your wedding veil.
You'll be my ugly wife then.
There's no way you can escape.
Sorry that I can't tell you the truth.
My Lord, focus on your fight.
My Lord,
it is time to go.
I hope these memories never fade.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
I hope these memories never fade.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
A bottle of wine, a body full of dust.
I was drunk the other day...
and might have acted inappropriately...
but I don't regret it.
The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
Jin Mi,
I will never let Mu Ci hurt you.
