"Ashes of Love"
EPISODE 32
Runyu, it's your turn now.
I offer you my condolences, God of Night.
Millions of creatures in the past thousand years in Dongting Lake
all relied on Lord Dongting's care.
Today, your mother has passed away.
I'm afraid your anger will kill countless creatures.
Please restrain your grief and anger
for the sake of all living creatures in the world
and inherit the kindness of Lord Dongting
to accumulate virtue for her by good deeds.
Water Immortal, good timing.
Kill this unworthy son for me.
Fine. Then today,
I will personally let you reunite with your mom.
Stop.
This is cause and effect.
For so many years, you set enemies everywhere.
Do you really have a clear conscience and fear nothing?
You secretly sheltered Suli for many years.
See what happened today in your territory.
Do you want to tell me
you had no idea of her conspiracy?
I will explain it
to Heavenly Emperor.
XUANJI PALACE
What she wanted to say to you
and all her past
is collected in this luminous pearl.
Your Majesty.
Here is the memorial report about Dongting Lake.
You didn't read it?
You knew everything about it?
You said you didn't collude with that Rat Fairy,
but you saved Suli.
And she lived in Dongting Lake under your jurisdiction for a long time.
How can I believe that
you had no idea of what she did?
I did save Suli
because I didn't want to see my compatriots of the Water Family
suffering a lot.
As for others,
I didn't know them.
I know you never lie
and have no interest in this trifle competition.
But why are you involved in it?
Why?
Suli had a relationship with you.
Do you remember it?
No need to mention our affair in the past again.
Without this past affair,
Suli wouldn't nourish such evil desires
and take the wrong road.
You mean
the crimes Suli committed
are because of me?
It's just cause-and-effect transmigration.
How about you?
Why did you go to Dongting Lake today?
The injustice she suffered back then
led to today's rebellion.
Heavenly Empress had gone too far
as she spared none.
I couldn't stand by.
Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Realm convince the Water Family?
The Water Family is not convinced?
Because the Heavenly Realm isn't merciful.
You're really merciful as usual.
But have you ever thought that
your mercy lead to greater disasters?
If you didn't save Suli,
nothing would happen today.
You mean today's disaster was caused due to me saving Suli
or other reasons?
Do you need me to explain it clearly?
Even if you don't like Suli at all,
Runyu is innocent.
After all, he is still your son
and Jinmi's future husband.
Anyway,
Suli has paid for her deeds.
Please handle this matter properly
without implicating the innocent.
Luolin,
you're putting me in an awkward situation.
If I don't punish those remnants of Dongting
as a warning to others,
how can I convince the public?
If everyone imitates her,
will I need to spare all of them?
I just beg you to act impartially
to avoid repeating the mistakes.
Go!
Go away!
I knew I brought up an ungrateful son.
Runyu is as bad as his mother.
Your Majesty.
Qiyuan, you said
Yanyou robbed you of the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow, right?
Yes.
He might be sent by Suli to kill Xufeng.
Get the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow back now.
They can't hurt Xufeng.
Yes.
After getting it back,
kill Jinmi.
Don't forget your original task.
Understood.
Did you see Liuying?
Your Majesty,
I did meet her.
Your Majesty, don't worry.
I know
how I should act.
After seeing her, you couldn't control your emotions
and wanted to be with her, right?
I dare not.
As long as you manage to kill Jinmi,
I can consider
to make you a couple.
But...
The Autopsy Wild Silkworms...
I can deal with those tiny insects.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
She must be back to the Demon Realm.
Why do you come back here?
You asked me to forget you,
but have you forgotten me?
♫ Never wished to get into dispute, ♫
♫ But things never go my way ♫
♫ The flower in my heart has wilted, and I can never turn back time ♫
♫ How I wish I could wash away the vanity ♫
Muci, is this scene
like what we saw in the Demon Realm?
You have caught enough prey. This one is mine.
♫ The flower in my heart has wilted, and I can never turn back time ♫
Your Highness. Your Highness.
Where is it?
A cave?
♫ A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt ♫
♫ Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets ♫
Your Highness, are you OK?
Why do you grab my arms?
I'm afraid you will be injured.
Sorry for offending you, Your Highness.
Speak these high-sounding words
to my father.
I want to hear your true thoughts.
It's my duty.
Whatever happens, I should prevent you from being injured.
Do you mean,
you like me?
Your Highness.
Your...
Your Highness, no kidding.
You're so noble.
How... can I have an improper desire for you?
What if I have
an improper desire for you?
♫ I only hope that I have no regrets ♫
♫ And to drift away with the flowers ♫
♫ A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt ♫
♫ Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets ♫
♫ The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart ♫
Your Highness.
It's my fault.
If you think this is wrong,
I'd like
to be always wrong with you in my life.
♫ I hope these memories never fade ♫
♫ As I taste the remains of the wine again ♫
It's late, Your Highness.
His Majesty will worry about you.
♫ Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets ♫
Where is my bracelet?
When I entered here just now, I was wearing it.
My mom gave me that before her death.
Find it for me. It's very important.
♫ As I taste the remains of the wine again ♫
Sorry. I can't find it.
Hush.
So beautiful.
What shall we do
as you lost your mom's item?
You won't find it because it's not lost.
I just want to stay longer
with you.
Muci,
what on earth happened after the Nether Fury?
Where did you go?
Back then, when the Nether Fury occurred,
Demon Lord found out I was an offspring of the Spirit-Vanishing Family.
He said I was ominous
and might bring disasters to the Demon Realm,
so he imprisoned me in the Yu Abyss
to make me suffer the eight-heat and eight-coldness punishment.
If I wasn't saved by someone,
I might have been dead.
Who saved you?
You're unwilling to be with me
because you hate the Demon Realm?
If this is the reason,
I won't be the princess of the Demon Realm.
From now on,
I will be a common woman
who wants to stay with you all the time.
How about being a normal couple
in the Human Realm?
We can visit all the landscapes together.
Okay?
You know, I can't promise you anything now.
I should leave.
I know what you're doing today is against your will.
Tell me your problems,
and I will help you.
I'm sorry.
I'm not drunk.
I just want you to keep my words in mind.
Listen up. I like you.
I like you. I like you.
Marry me.
Jinmi.
Your Majesty.
Are you good at playing go?
Not so much.
Liangguo suddenly assembled forces to attack Huaiwu.
I will go to the battlefield tomorrow.
Your Majesty, I heard you have many talented generals.
Why not give them more chances
to serve as the commander leading the troops?
Why?
I just know medicine instead of fighting.
But I know a saying.
Generals and soldiers have experienced many fights,
but few of them come out alive, while others are dead.
I know the reputation of God of War is great and invincible,
but war is fierce and unpredictable.
I...
I worry about you.
I finally hear you say you worry about me.
It means that you still have me in your heart,
right?
Your Majesty, it's your turn.
Jinmi.
Promise me.
After I come back,
be my queen, okay?
Your Majesty.
I'm not lucky enough
to receive your grace to be your queen.
Why do you always pretend in front of me?
Your drunk look that day
is more adorable.
Jinmi.
Why don't you face your heart
and live for yourself?
Believe me.
I'll have a way to keep you by my side
while avoiding gossip.
This time,
I also promise you
I'll be back safe and sound.
♫ 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 Jinmi.
Immortal Runyu.
Do you know the poison has been deep in your bones,
damaging your heart vessel?
I know.
This is my fate.
I accept it.
Immortal Runyu, don't be sad for me.
Although I know you came here to experience hardships,
I can't see you suffering like this.
Even you are not you.
-What? -Nothing.
I'll find out the murderer to avenge you.
Don't.
Immortal Runyu, I don't want revenge.
Everyone has their own fate.
If you really want to help me,
can you grant me a request?
But your poison
can't even be eliminated by immortals.
I don't beg you for myself,
but King Yi.
He will go on expedition soon.
Can you bless him to return safe and sound?
You've fallen in love
with Xufeng... King Yi?
I only know that
I'm willing
to be buried alive for him.
I won't do the same
for any other person.
King Yi isn't ordinary.
He will be back safely.
Don't worry about him.
Really?
I wish it would ease some of your pain.
Jinmi, only you...
I won't let go.
We can only break through the enemy's defense line from these points.
Then our elite forces need to be stationed
on the mountain and at the foot
to prevent the enemy's attack at night...
-Your Majesty. -What's up?
-Say it. -Princess Suihe is here.
What?
Cousin.
You're a woman. Why are you here?
I know I'm a woman.
But I'm also from Huaiwu.
As a Huaiwu person, I also want to make my contribution
to remove the border crisis.
The battlefield is serious.
You shouldn't stay here.
Qintong, send her back.
When I studied military books before, you even praised me.
Now I want to do something for Huaiwu,
why do you stop me?
I've made up my mind to stay here
to share the hardships
with soldiers and common people at the borders.
Even if you send me away,
I'll come back again.
Qintong, protect princess well.
Thank you, cousin.
Princess Suihe has such strategy.
I admire it.
I'm flattered.
Your Highness, General Lin didn't flatter you.
Your Highness, you're a true heroine.
Thank you for your hard work. Rest early today.
We'll set off at 5 a.m. tomorrow
to get to the border as soon as possible
to meet Yuli and others.
Yes.
Cousin, what do you think of my strategy?
It's easy to be an armchair strategist.
What's hard is the decision on the battlefield.
All right. It's late. Rest now.
Qintong.
Arrange a tent for princess.
Yes.
Well,
does your dad know you are here?
Of course not.
It's a secret.
Keep this secret for me.
Did Mr. Puchi agree with you?
Cousin, I've explained it many times.
He is good at evil magic.
I was controlled by his puppet incarnation.
That wasn't what I really wanted to say.
It's well known that I like you.
If you don't take me,
I will kill myself.
Your Excellency Qi.
Nothing is abnormal about King Yi.
Yes.
-Your Highness. -All is prepared?
Yes.
His main troops have rushed to the border in advance.
King Yi and his small team
will pass Anyuan Pass tomorrow.
The terrain there is good for us to launch an ambush.
It's a golden chance.
I must
behead him this time.
Look.
These flowers are so beautiful.
Jinmi.
Take the medicine.
Qianghuo...
is it Qingyue?
Protect King Yi. Protect Her Highness.
This is the territory of Huaiwu.
Liangguo wouldn't ambush here.
Stop shooting.
Why is Suihe here?
My Lord, we can't miss this chance.
Order them not to hurt the princess.
Kill all the others.
-Yes. -Charge!
Qichong? Is it...
Stop.
Jinmi, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jinmi.
Get up.
Besides Qingyue,
I really don't know
what other colorless and odorless slow fatal poison
would make me unaware,
while keeping
my pulse condition normal.
I should be dead. It's Qingyue.
But I didn't know...
You didn't know
my body would have a stronger reaction to Qingyue
than the others.
Even Aunt Jingjie didn't know that.
Over the years,
I tried the medicines behind all your backs.
Medicine contains a certain degree of poison.
Now what's flowing in my body
is not blood,
but poison.
All things work against each other.
I combated poison with poison.
The poisons in my body
reached a balance.
They have been harmless for me.
However,
Qingyue has a hot attribute
but will become cold with excessive dosage.
It will break the balance in my body.
Once it breaks out,
the poisons in my body
can't be controlled.
You know more clearly the rules of the Saint Doctors' Family than me.
Why did you...
Jinmi, we are sisters.
I wouldn't hurt you.
I poisoned you hoping that you would notice it
and leave here as soon as possible.
I never thought you could be so silly.
I dare not to tell Auntie about this.
I...
Qianghuo.
I won't blame you or Auntie.
Family rules dominate everything.
I'm the Saint Girl.
I violated the rules.
I shouldn't have showed my passion.
I should be dead.
What's so good about King Yi?
You clearly know the rules,
but you still fell for him.
I know you aren't someone obsessed by his looks.
Right.
I don't know
what on earth is good about King Yi.
I don't know.
But I feel he is good in all aspects.
Jinmi, I've prepared money
and clothes for you.
I don't want to kill you.
Jinmi, leave now.
Don't come back here.
Don't go back to Saint Doctors' Family.
I know you are the best in making medicine.
Since you know the poison of Qingyue,
you must be able to eliminate it.
I won't leave.
Qianghuo,
this time,
I want to live as Jinmi
instead of the Saint Girl.
I'm Jinmi.
I'm willing to exchange my life for this identity.
