"Ashes of Love"
EPISODE 27
Return the brass strip to me.
I don't know what you're talking about...
You...
Your Highness, stop pretending.
Your Highness.
Your Highness, are you okay?
Muci.
Stop!
Since I can't grab the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow,
I can kill Princess of Bian City as another deed for His Majesty.
Muci, will you only stay with me
when I'm hurt?
I went to find you,
but no one knew your whereabouts.
In the several hundred years that you disappeared,
I had been waiting for you at the bank of Wangchuan River.
Are you leaving again?
I'm not leaving.
You haven't recovered.
Don't move. Lie down and rest.
BEIYUAN VILLA
PEACE REIGNS OVER THE LAND
Your Majesty, it's late.
You should go to bed.
Don't put off what should be done today till tomorrow.
I'll finish the memorials first.
Leave me alone.
Yes, I am leaving.
Grab the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow and kill Xufeng.
Foster mother, is what you want me to do really right?
Whether the arrow falls or not
depends on my hair.
PEACEFUL ALL AROUND THE WORLD
Is there any good news?
I am incompetent and lost the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow.
You stayed in the human world for so many days
and you brought me such a surprise.
Your Majesty, His Highness went down the Human Realm to experience hardships,
which shocked the Six Realms.
I'm afraid many people
will harm the second Prince.
Who?
Besides the Demon Realm, Snake Fairy Yanyou also wants to do so.
I think that
he stole the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow.
When my birthday feast was disturbed last time,
I already suspected
that Yanyou must've been involved.
This time, he made a comeback.
I am afraid the masters behind Snake Fairy and Rat Fairy
are the same.
Investigate who it is.
Especially watch
Water Immortal and God of the Night carefully.
God of the Night
has gone down to the Human Realm to meet Jinmi secretly
and destroyed Your Majesty's plan many times.
Did he do anything bad to Xufeng?
No.
Damn it. Runyu always goes against me.
He deserves death.
You can't let down your guard.
Is Suihe's memory unsealed?
I have been searching for the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow recently,
so her memory
is still sealed.
To destroy Jinmi is important.
But you can't delay unsealing Suihe's memory.
If her memory is unsealed,
she can help you in the human world.
You two can decide as the occasion requires.
Yes.
Do not let me doubt your value.
If you can't get the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow back,
I will make another one with your heart's blood.
Till then...
Understood.
Muci.
You haven't recovered yet. Why are you walking around?
After waking up, I found you were gone.
I thought you had left again.
So I went to look for you.
There is no prey on the mountain,
so I went to pick some fruits.
Eat some first.
You haven't recovered yet,
so don't walk around.
Can you give it back to me now?
You're obedient this time. I'll spare you.
Muci, you haven't told me
how you were doing these years.
Where are you going?
Getting some water.
You must come back.
I thought you wouldn't come back.
What do you want to eat? I'm going to cook for you.
Just relax.
You're almost fully recovered.
If there is nothing else,
you should go back to the Demon Realm as soon as possible.
You come back with me.
I can't go back to the Demon Realm again.
Why?
Stop asking me.
I have changed.
Don't be obsessed with me.
You saved me again and again,
which shows you still care about me.
Then why are you so heartless?
Because without me,
you can live a better life.
Muci.
Forget me.
YUNMENG LAKE
On the vast land, ghosts hide in the dark.
Above the dense fog, clouds fly.
Fog.
Fog. Fog.
Fog.
Fog. Fog. Fog.
Good-for-nothing.
You can't even do the simplest Water and Fog Skill.
When you were three,
you learned the Tidal Bore Skill yourself.
You could tread and move waves and drive torrents.
Why have you become worse now?
Do you deserve to be my son?
Stop crying!
You have made no progress.
How can I leave without worry?
Do you know?
There are wicked and crafty people
who want to kill you for an award outside.
Stop crying.
Go.
Master.
Yanyou, is it done?
I am incompetent. I couldn't get the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow.
Why did you lose?
Master,
in the cycle of heaven, the son pays his mother's debt.
There is karma.
Why not just follow the fate
and let him grow and die without outside interference?
Follow the fate? Grow and die without outside interference?
Is this a joke?
I can't wait for so long.
I want him to pay with his life.
General, the lanterns
can be handled by the Lantern Chief of Shanqin Bureau.
But you have to buy
paper and bamboo strips yourself.
I think His Majesty
doesn't regard you as an outsider at all.
You don't understand.
These are not ordinary lanterns.
They are secret weapons
of His Majesty.
Of course the best moonlight paper
and toughest bamboo strips must be selected.
Weapon? What weapon?
To deal with Liangguo?
Though the opponent is not Liangguo,
for His Majesty,
it's as hard as a tough battle.
I see.
Then you're the best person to do it.
It's late. Let's go back.
General. General.
Well...
We were here just now.
I see this tree for the second time.
Well...
General,
did we encounter ghosts?
Nonsense. I'm going to find someone to ask.
You wait here.
Excuse me, I'd like to ask the way.
This time,
I will go first.
Life is tough.
You treated me so well all my life.
But we can't avoid sickness and death.
If there is a next life,
I really don't want to be human.
I only want
to be with you
forever.
I would wait for you.
Honey, I feel so bad.
Just let me go without pain, okay?
Sir, no!
Take the money to buy medicine for her.
Are these enough?
Child, I appreciate your kindness.
But...
I'm dying.
Honey,
this is a good man.
You must pay him back...
if you have the chance...
in the future.
Take...
care.
TOMB OF QIN LISHI
Aunt died a natural death, which is a happy thing.
Please restrain your grief.
She and I have been together for 60 years.
We've never been apart.
Sixty years in the human world have gone in a flash.
I should go.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the place I should go.
Don't take it too hard.
If you want, you can go to the military camp with me.
We soldiers lost our parents since childhood
and we're willing to support you.
Your military camp is right in front.
You'll get there after taking a turn.
Thank you.
Young man,
you're kindhearted.
I...
I owe you a favor.
If you meet any difficulty in the future, you can find me with this.
General, the old man looks weird.
You gave him all your money.
Did he cheat you?
He doesn't have children and just lost his wife.
He's quite poor.
How could he
bury his dead wife beside a river
and leave?
And this old woman
looks so much older than him.
General, I guess you were cheated.
I don't plan to get the money back.
Just take it as a good deed.
Aunt, I just met you once.
It's just a trifle. I dare not accept it.
I'll leave the seal for you.
Let's go.
General, what happened to you?
General.
"Qin Li's Grave"
General, did that thing come back again?
I'm going to relieve myself.
Damn it. Why does it always go with me?
Is it an immortal or a monster?
Immortals,
I have never done any guilty deed
and I'm open and poised.
Since he insisted on giving me this gift,
I'll accept it.
Please don't mess with me.
Saint Girl of Saint Doctors' Family
will announce King Yi's illness.
I will ask King Yi to abdicate and choose another wise king.
But Minister Fu...
If King Yi knows he can't live long
and is unwilling to abdicate,
ignoring Huaiwu's future and well-being of the people,
Minister Fu and others will not agree.
What did you say, Dad?
You can leave.
We are leaving.
King Yi is seriously ill and doesn't have any children.
He should abdicate and hand over the regime as soon as possible.
If he dies suddenly,
the court and the state will be peaceful.
I guess you have planned this for a long time.
I guess the ministers
will recommend you as the new king tomorrow.
I do so for the future of Huaiwu.
Suihe, I know your passion for Xufeng.
But as you can see,
even Saint Girl said he couldn't be saved
and would die soon.
Why do you destroy the happiness of your life
for a dying man?
Dad, Saint Doctors' Family has the best medical skills.
As long as Saint Girl is given more time,
she can save my cousin.
Why are you so obsessed?
Think about it.
If I take the throne one day,
you will be the princess.
By then, you can choose any good man you want.
You'll find the best husband.
Though the world is big, cousin can't be copied.
I only love cousin.
I need to meet him.
Stop!
Qichong!
Duke.
Send princess back to her room.
Without my order,
she can't leave the room.
Yes!
Princess, please.
Even if you bring my cousin down from the throne,
I will only marry him in my life.
Here comes His Majesty!
May you be healthy, Your Majesty!
Stand up.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
What is the important thing today?
Your Majesty,
I couldn't bear to disturb your Majesty
when Your Majesty is ill.
This matter is related to the fate of the state.
It really can't be delayed.
What is so important?
Tell me.
Your Majesty is ill and doesn't have any child.
Now it's a period of trouble.
So we believe
Your Majesty should put the state and people first
and abdicate to a virtuous man.
So we won't fail the spirit of the ancestors.
You think I am ill and can't shoulder the important task.
The previous king died early.
Your Majesty acceded to the throne at a very young age.
With a young king, the state was doubtful, with internal and external problems.
Fortunately, Duke Nanping made vigorous efforts
to turn the situation,
delivering the state from distress.
The former example is before our eyes.
Hope Your Majesty can set store by overall interests.
Following the example of Yao and Shun's abdication
has long been set in the fundamental principles.
According to you, if I don't abdicate,
I will be a sinner of Huaiwu.
-I dare not. -Then tell me.
If I abdicate, who can take over the throne?
We must recommend an upright wise king
who possesses both integrity and ability.
An upright wise king with integrity and ability?
I wonder
if Duke Nanping wants to form alliances with various dukes
or Minister Fu wants to unite the country.
Your Majesty, I deserve death.
If I have the intention to rebel, I would stand condemned by God.
Your Majesty, I dare not.
Liusi said so much to ask you to abdicate, so he is guilty.
Please punish him, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, my loyalty could be discerned by the sun and moon.
Mr. Liu,
you said I was seriously ill
and would die soon.
Where did you get the news?
Recently, Saint Girl went to the palace to treat your illness.
We'll know by asking her.
Okay. Summon Saint Girl.
Summon Jinmi, Saint Girl of Saint Doctors' Family.
Saint Girl Jinmi
pays repect to Your Majesty.
Skip the formalities.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
Tell me
what illness I have.
Previously, Your Majesty got up before dawn, ate late and overworked,
so he was indeed a little weak.
So it is true.
But,
after being nursed by me,
Your Majesty is strong and has recovered.
Your Majesty, I've received news
from the men sent to Saint Doctors' Family.
How is it?
Everyone of Saint Doctors' Family is safe.
Our men are protecting them well.
Duke Nanping's men all died.
Duke Nanping is always careful and heartless.
Arrange more men to project Saint Girl.
Do not let Duke Nanping
-get close to her. -Yes.
Previously, you said
Your Majesty's kidney was weak
so he was impotent.
As for this,
I was indeed inexperienced before,
so I made some erroneous judgment.
But these diagnoses are extremely private.
I remember I have never told Your Excellency these.
I wonder where Your Excellency got the news.
As Saint Girl, how could you make such a mistake?
How dare you disrespect Your Majesty?
Duke, please don't be angry.
Your Majesty, I made such mistake
because
someone tampered with Your Majesty's diet.
The food on the diet list seems nourishing,
but their properties go against each other.
Most of them are strong drugs.
If Your Majesty takes them for a long time,
the consequence will be unthinkable.
Where is the diet list from?
The diet list...
Your Majesty,
Saint Girl asked me about the diet list days ago.
I asked Dong Ruixi,
Manager of the Food Supervisor,
to copy one.
Now it seems
Dong Ruixi is very suspicious.
Summon Dong Ruixi.
Dong Ruixi, is the diet list made by you?
Your Majesty, it is made by me.
Did you know that the tonic diets on it
would kill me?
Who is
behind this?
Tell me your accomplice and I will spare you.
Your Majesty,
I don't have an accomplice.
I have never acted on anyone's instigation.
Your Majesty, this man is vicious
and wanted to kill you.
He must be beheaded as a warning to others.
Your Majesty, there are many suspicions.
I suggest putting Dong Ruixi in prison and investigating this matter.
Put him in prison.
-Go. -Go.
Minister Fu.
-Yes. -You'll be responsible for this.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Officials.
When people have many weapons, the state will be in chaos.
When people have more skills, strange things will appear.
Hope you can fulfill your duties
and learn from Duke Nanping
who is upright with both ability and integrity.
Having such an upright minister, I'm very content.
Thanks for your praise, Your Majesty.
We will follow Your Majesty's order.
Duke, the men sent to Saint Doctors' Family lost contact.
Remember.
Do not let Dong Ruixi speak again.
I see.
BEIYUAN VILLA
Buddha,
please bless my cousin
to let him pass this disaster safely.
Your Highness.
Do you have some news?
The Meeting of Commanding Officers is over.
His Majesty is healthy.
His diet was tampered with
so Saint Girl misdiagnosed.
So my cousin is healthy?
Saint Girl said His Majesty is healthy.
I knew my cousin is blessed and will be fine.
Well, who tampered with
my cousin's diet?
It's Dong Ruixi, Manager of the Food Supervisor.
Does he have an accomplice or was he instructed to do it?
No, he did it alone.
This time, King Yi's men arrived in time
and saved the whole Saint Doctors' Family.
That's really lucky.
He always keeps his word.
Now King Yi has recovered,
so you don't need to act
and I don't need to decoct medicinal herbs.
It's indeed a little boring.
How about we go listen to some storytelling?
We've been trapped in Beiyuan Villa.
I feel so bored.
Okay. Let's go.
You're leaving now?
Jinmi, wait for me.
The God of War, King Yi, holding a long sword,
rode a horse towards the large number of soldiers.
He shouted
and the enemy became terror-stricken,
and suffered one defeat after another.
Bravo! Bravo!
Well said!
Right at that moment,
the leader of the enemy came to the front of King Yi.
They both held long swords and rushed to each other...
Wrong.
