"Ashes of Love"
EPISODE 47
It seems you're in good spirits today.
What brings you here, Match-Maker?
I don't want to stay in the Heavenly Realm any more.
Ever since Runyu became the Heavenly Emperor,
the Heavenly Realm is as deserted as the Xuanji Palace.
It's the landscape here,
still has the feeling of warmth.
Moreover, Yuanji has left.
Now I can talk to no one,
so I come here to distract myself.
Fairy Yuanji is in charge of the fates of human beings.
Where has she gone?
To experience hardships in the Human Realm.
She goes to the Human Realm to experience hardships
as a fairy in charge of the fates of human beings?
Does she observe the people's condition?
She is shrewd.
She won't experience hardships herself.
It's Runyu who is filled with hate.
He keeps thinking about what Xufeng and Jinmi
have experienced in the Human Realm,
so he made an excuse to send Yuanji to the Human Realm too.
Now nothing can stop him.
Well, has Jinmi regained consciousness?
Don't mention her.
She has come to herself,
so I don't want to stay in the Heavenly Realm.
She has come to herself?
Why didn't she summon me?
You still want to see her?
Such an ungrateful one should be hacked to death,
and thrown into Taihu Lake,
and be eaten by the catfish.
I still don't understand something.
It's known to all that she likes Xufeng,
but at last...
Maybe she has made a choice
between Xufeng and Runyu.
Could it be...
What?
The late Heavenly Emperor destroyed his own primordial spirit,
but he was just poisoned with the Evil Incense Ashes.
Why was he so cruel to himself?
He witnessed his son die
and the other son seizing the throne.
Maybe he was utterly disappointed.
He is to blame.
If he didn't destroy his own primordial spirit,
it wouldn't have come to this,
as he was protected by the Phoenix Hairpin.
Strangely, after that day,
Xufeng's Phoenix Hairpin is missing as well,
leaving no hope for me.
Runyu is to blame.
You know what, Runyu is my brother.
Suli was my foster mother.
What?
I have suffered too many blows recently.
-You... You... -But...
I didn't help him seize the throne.
I am different from him.
But I have known Jinmi for a long time.
She stands for reason.
I saved her by accident back then,
and she insisted on returning the 1,000-year magic power to me.
So I think Xufeng must have done something unforgivable.
I think
I shouldn't stay here.
All the people in the world are blind.
I...
I'd be better off experiencing hardships in the Human Realm with Yuanji.
You're old. You should have a benign look.
Jinmi, I've become an accomplice at last.
How can I face you now?
I hope I can make it up to you in the future.
QIWU PALACE
Immortal.
Where are Liaoting and Feixu?
The Match-Maker summoned them.
Can we help you?
No need. I just want to walk around.
I am putting on weight,
but I find other parts don't grow fat,
except for this part.
Phoenix flower blooms in two seasons.
One brings fate,
and the other takes away fate.
People will part from each other eventually.
Blooms and dead flowers will fall without exception.
How could this happen?
Come to life.
Why are they dead?
Why?
Why are they dead?
Come to life.
Why are they dead?
Come to life!
How could this happen?
Why are they dead?
♫ I hope these memories never fade ♫
♫ Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom ♫
♫ I hope these memories never fade ♫
Jinmi, what are you doing?
He killed your father.
♫ Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets ♫
♫ A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts ♫
It's really you.
How dare you come here?
Fox Fairy, I...
Stop that!
I tried hard to bring you and Xufeng together,
but you took this opportunity to kill him.
He killed my father!
♫ Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets ♫
♫ The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart ♫
Impossible!
He is not a man of that sort.
I have known him since he was a little boy.
I know him well.
He wouldn't do that.
I don't want to believe it,
but it's the truth.
My father was killed by Liuli Fire.
Phoenix personally admitted that the matter was related to him.
Moreover,
the dream of the Beast of Dreams can prove it.
I saw it personally.
Dream?
Just a dream?
It is Phoenix's real dream.
He killed my father personally.
How can you be sure it's real?
The real dream shows
what one sees in the daytime.
Seeing is believing. How could it be false?
Seeing is not necessarily believing.
I don't believe it,
because I just believe it here.
Even if the Heavenly River flew backward,
Xufeng would never be a murderer.
Why do you bring me here secretly?
Do you know who entered the Qiwu Palace?
-Who? -Jinmi.
Jinmi?
How shameless she is.
The Heavenly Emperor
took care of her all the time when she was in a coma,
so we didn't have any opportunity.
Now she has come to herself
and can go everywhere.
I think it's a good opportunity.
What do you mean?
The second Prince loved her dearly,
but she killed him in return.
The second Prince was nice to us.
We must avenge him, or we will fail him.
What's your plan?
Lead her to Linyuan Abyss and push her down.
No.
There are spies of the Heavenly Emperor everywhere.
It's too noticeable.
I have an idea.
What is it?
First, we have to figure out
where the Internal Dan essence is in her body.
Then,
we pretend to forgive her
and ask her out to drink.
While talking about the old days, get her drunk
and stab her Internal Dan essence.
Then she will die.
Good idea. Let's do it.
-Go. -Go.
How do you figure out
where the Internal Dan essence is in her body?
Mister Immortal.
If I knew you wanted to court death,
I wouldn't have saved you and taken you into the House of Marriage.
If you really want to kill Jinmi,
the Heavenly Emperor won't spare you.
And I'll also be implicated.
Mister Immortal, she killed the second Prince.
Yes.
If you kill her, will Xufeng come back to life?
When I met her just now, I wanted to hack her to death.
But it's useless.
Xufeng won't come back to life.
It was a doomed love affair.
I shouldn't have brought them together blindly.
Mister Immortal, we...
You'd better go back to the House of Marriage.
You can't hurt Jinmi just by yourselves.
Live a peaceful life from now one.
Don't implicate me.
Yes.
As a man sows, let him reap.
No.
I haven't made a mistake.
No.
I like you.
I... I like you as well.
Fish Fairy?
Kuanglu?
Fish Fairy, let's be together for this life.
What do you think?
Okay.
Don't betray me. Jinmi.
The Yun Elixir really cracks.
Mi,
I'm sorry.
Even if you don't know what love is in this life,
I don't want to lose you.
Forgive me, okay?
-Fish Fairy. -Mi.
Sorry.
Fish Fairy, I like you.
I like you as well.
Fish Fairy, let's be together for this life.
What do you think?
I know it's a dream,
but I don't want to wake up.
Yun Elixir?
What is it?
Is that the Yun Elixir?
Why is it in my body?
Why did Fish Fairy repair it without telling me?
The flowers have been arranged properly in the Human Realm.
Please do it for me.
No problem.
I'll go visit Jinmi in the Heavenly Realm tomorrow.
I wonder how she is.
Great Floral Fairy.
Little One...
Little One is back.
Jinmi,
you have avenged the Water Immortal and the Wind Immortal,
and done your filial duty.
They don't want to see you sad.
You should bestir yourself.
Great Floral Fairy.
I came to ask you something.
What is it?
In front of my parents and Auntie Linxiu,
please tell me the truth.
What is the origin of the Yun Elixir in my body?
How do you know about this?
I accidentally saw it from a dream from the Beast of Dreams.
And I saw Runyu repair it.
Repair?
It's gone.
How could this be?
Sure enough.
It's really related to the Yun Elixir.
After I stabbed Xufeng to death that day,
I was heartbroken
and felt something explode in my body.
Phoenix!
I thought I had such a feeling because I hated him deeply.
Now it seems to be caused by the Yun Elixir.
But why is the Yun Elixir in my body?
Your mother gave it to you.
My mother?
She was lovesick
and suffered much when she was alive.
I only love the Heavenly Emperor.
Go back and marry Linxiu.
So when you were born, she gave the Yun Elixir to you.
The one who takes the Yun Elixir won't fall in love.
Without love, she will be strong and live a carefree life.
This is the best blessing I can give her.
You won't fall in love.
She hoped you could be strong and live a carefree life.
It's for your own good.
She didn't want you to repeat her mistake.
Without love, I will be strong.
Why did she think that?
The current Heavenly Emperor
doesn't have an amorous nature like his father.
We can see that
he loves only you.
You should cherish his love
and don't fail him.
But I just feel guilty for Fish Fairy.
You still miss the Fire Immortal?
I don't know.
I always miss him.
As long as I miss him, I feel pain in my heart,
and guilt.
He killed my father.
I failed my father.
But...
But I can't control myself.
As long as I close my eyes, he appears.
I...
The late Floral Immortal didn't want to see this,
so she gave the Yun Elixir to you.
Since you got rid of the Yun Elixir,
you have to suffer.
Don't think about rights and wrongs anymore.
Now you're the Water Immortal with mighty power.
The new Heavenly Emperor took the throne and enjoys a good reputation worldwide.
He stands high in popular favor.
You'll become the new Heavenly Empress.
Everything will go smoothly, and you'll have a good life afterwards.
Mom,
thank you for being considerate to me.
But as my mom,
you can't deprive me of the right to love.
MEMORIAL TO THE LATE FLORAL IMMORTAL
I was controlled by the Yun Elixir,
so I did many stupid things,
as I was childish.
Now I've gotten rid of the Yun Elixir,
so I can't avoid love anymore.
LINYUAN TOWER
Get out.
I can rest my heart
as you lead a miserable life.
You killed my mother,
and your son killed my father.
I killed Xufeng
to avenge my father.
Avenge?
For what?
You killed my son?
Yes.
Xu...
I told you repeatedly
to leave this woman alone,
but you didn't listen to me,
and asked me
whether I killed Luolin.
What did you say?
Did you ever fight against the Water Immortal?
What's wrong with him?
He and the Wind Immortal were killed.
Did this have something to do with you?
Now Runyu has lost his advantage.
He won't shake your standing for the Heavenly Emperor,
even if he marries Jinmi.
Even the prison can't hold your ambitions.
You thought you did this for me,
but you just put me in an immoral situation.
Impossible.
Son, how stupid you are.
I tried every means to plan and prepare
for you,
but you
trusted this woman.
I'm the most sincere to you in this world.
If you had listened to me,
you wouldn't have been killed by her.
I didn't...
I didn't kill him by mistake.
Tell me.
If Xufeng didn't kill my father,
then who did?
It was me.
Impossible!
When my father died, you were in prison.
You couldn't have killed him.
The murderer must be someone else.
Who is the murderer? Tell me!
Listen.
You will never know.
I won't tell you.
MARRIAGE HOUSE
Match-Maker.
Liaoting, Feixu, drive her out.
I may have killed Phoenix by mistake.
You want to reverse the case?
You have wronged one.
Don't wrong anyone else.
I know...
you hate me.
I know you all hate me.
Don't worry.
If I find out the truth,
and really killed Phoenix by mistake,
I'll kill myself.
It's useless.
If I really killed Phoenix by mistake,
I don't want to live alone.
Even if you die,
Xufeng won't come back to life.
But...
But Xufeng can't be wronged.
Hurry up. The guards will wake up soon.
Mi, have you found it?
Not yet.
Where did you find it last time?
Right there.
Why can't we find it?
We can't give up. Go on.
Look for it separately.
The ward.
It's sealed.
It's strange.
Let me help you.
How could this be possible?
The Beast of Dreams didn't go to the Qiwu Palace.
It stayed in my room.
How could this be possible?
It's impossible.
Jinmi,
what you have seen was your own dream.
No.
You suspected Xufeng.
You dreamed of what you thought during the day,
so you had such a dream.
Impossible.
It's different from what I saw before.
It's fake. It must be fake.
The authenticity of the Dream Register remains to be verified.
No matter whether it tells the truth,
someone must've caused trouble.
The blue one is a real dream.
The blue dream is real.
I...
I didn't witness my father's death.
So it's not my dream.
If it's my dream,
I must have an impression.
Impossible.
It's not my dream. Impossible!
Jinmi,
maybe someone
did something to the dream on purpose.
Phoenix.
I really wronged Phoenix?
I killed him by mistake.
Mi.
-Immortal. -Immortal.
Immortal.
Immortal, you're finally back. Where have you been?
His Majesty is worried about you.
Where is he?
In the Qizheng Palace.
QIZHENG PALACE
Mi, I haven't seen you all day.
I was quite worried about you.
You just came to yourself,
so you should have a good rest to recuperate.
Before you recover completely,
please don't go around.
If you really want to go out,
take Kuanglu with you.
With her company,
I can feel at ease.
I'm afraid...
I really wronged Xufeng.
Why do you say that?
After my father was killed,
I saw a dream from the Beast of Dreams.
It was about Phoenix killing my father.
I thought it was Phoenix's real dream,
but today
I went to Pixiang Hall with the Match-Maker
and found the record of the Beast of Dreams about that day.
Then I found that
the Beast of Dreams didn't go to the Qiwu Palace.
Instead, it stayed with me.
Your Majesty,
it wasn't Xufeng's dream.
It was my dream,
but I didn't personally see Phoenix kill my father.
If I had that dream because I had a doubt,
it should be a yellow imaginary dream.
But I remember clearly
I saw the blue real dream
that day.
So...
someone must have done something to that dream,
and turned the imaginary dream into a real dream.
Who do you think did it?
You led
the Beast of Dreams there that day.
Mi,
to investigate the case of the late Water Immortal's death,
I collected thousands of dreams.
Before I checked them one by one,
my father took them away and sealed them.
I really didn't see the dream you mentioned.
The Chief of the Pixiang Hall
is responsible for the Heavenly Realm's files.
He should have an impression
whether it's a yellow imaginary dream
or a blue real dream.
Okay.
I'll call him in and ask him about it.
Your Majesty, the Pixiang Hall reports that
the chief committed suicide.
Your Majesty.
Why are you scared?
I saw the Water Immortal wasn't her usual self today,
so I followed her secretly.
I found that
she and the Match-Maker slipped into Pixiang Hall secretly.
Then, the Chief of the Pixiang Hall must die.
PIXIANG HALL
Your Majesty.
Why did he commit suicide?
Your Majesty, this is a suicide note we just found.
In the note, he confessed he changed the file without authorization.
So he killed himself out of fear of punishment.
Have you compared the handwriting?
Yes, I did.
It was really written by him.
Since he committed suicide for fear of punishment,
why did he take the trouble to write this note?
