[Recap of previous episode]
[ Episode 29 ]
I suddenly remembered
that Elder once used a magical technique called a 'Life and Death Pact',
to join our spirits, as if we were one person.
Is it possible we can do the same thing
and use me as the lodging place for his spirit?
This spirit connecting magical method you're speaking of
did originate from a 'Life and Death Pact'.
If we're going to do as you suggest,
we can only employ the 'Life and Death Pact' on one of you.
Maybe in this way,
we can replenish your deficient primordial energy.
Elder, so you think it will work?
Let me think about it.
If we fail, not only will you not be saved,
I fear that even your spirit might fall into a chaotic primordial state.
The 'Life and Death Pact' should be
used on two people with their forms and spirits intact.
However, the current situation is one
where one person has only a spirit. And although you still have both form and spirit,
your spirit is in a weakened state.
If we forcefully use the 'Life and Death Pact' now,
it's hard to predict the consequences.
I'm willing to give it a try. Please may Elder allow it.
You're the one who said it.
Rather than waiting for death here, it's better to just treat a dead horse like one still alive.
I'll do my best.
Go and guard outside. No one must be allowed to enter.
Yes.
Give me the Cosmic Seal.
I'll activate the 'Life and Death Pact' now.
- Is it you? - Wait!
Why are you here? Quickly go back!
I came to save you.
No. This place is dangerous. Quickly leave.
If we don't give it a try, how would we know?
Won't you regret it?
I might... take over your body.
You kept saying that you were me.
Now that I've accepted you, please, you accept me too.
Your Highness, how are you doing?
Elder Liu, did we succeed?
We still can't be sure. You are...
8th Prince, Mo Lian Cheng.
I'm the past Mo Lian Cheng
and the current Mo Lian Cheng.
You said it quite right.
Maybe,
the disappearance of Qu Tan'er was really connected with me.
Maybe, I'm really responsible for Qu Pan'er's death too.
If I hadn't come here,
all of these things might not have happened.
Xiao Tan, when my Lady jumped into the lake, you still hadn't come to Dong Yue.
Hence, it's not your fault.
Qu Pan'er also died to save Mo Yi Huai.
Hence, why must you blame yourself for that too?
Based on the words of Mo Yi Huai earlier,
he seems to have had a true affection and loyalty toward Lady Qu.
Since that's the case,
Lady Qu's love for him wasn't in vain.
What are you doing?
Tan'er has unrivaled beauty.
Your fine black hair is like a waterfall. Isn't it such a waste to just let you casually dress yourself up?
Didn't I already clearly explain everything to you earlier?
This hairstyle doesn't suit you.
Change her hairstyle to that one that she previously liked.
Are you sick?!
What does my hairstyle have to do with you?!
Are you deaf?
Or crazy? I already told you that I'm not Qu Tan'er!
You're not allowed to say that you're not Tan'er!
I'm just not her!
Even if you continue to have me pretend, I'll still just be an imitation of her!
If you really love her, you don't need a replacement like me!
Jing Xin, do your lady's hair and makeup, and have her change her clothes.
Servant! Drag Jing Xin away and execute her!
Wait!
Jing Xin, do my hair and makeup.
Xiao Tan.
Remember this. No matter who you think you are,
from now on, you can only be my Tan'er.
Just kill me then.
Tan'er, are you unhappy? Are you hungry?
Come and eat some snacks. This is your favorite.
I don't like eating sweets!
You clearly love eating them!
Come on. Eat it!
You dare to touch me?
I... pushed you on behalf of my Lady!
I beg you to wake up quickly.
Stop deceiving yourself!
If my Lady was still here, she wouldn't want to see you like this.
I beg you. Return to that previous
gentle and sincere Eldest Prince.
Return to that hero who Lady was willing to sacrifice herself for, all right?
I don't want to hear it. You all are fooling me.
You all have betrayed me!
Men!
Take Jing Xin to the underground prison!
Jing Xin, Jing Xin!
- Take good care of yourself. - Jing Xin! Jing Xin!
Tan'er, you're still so beautiful
when you cry. I've already made the announcement.
I will make you my queen soon. I can then be with you forever.
Get in!
Jing Xin, did you get hurt?
I'm fine.
What did they do to you when they took you out? Did they torture you?
No. Mo Yi Huai has gone crazy. Really crazy.
He asks Xiao Tan to style herself like my Lady was in the past.
Her every action and speech must be exactly the same as hers, as if she's been reborn.
That means, Mo Yi Huai has indeed gone insane.
Although he's walking in a doomed state,
it's all because he can't let go of my Lady in his heart.
Don't worry.
What's important now is to think of a way to escape from the grasp of Mo Yi Huai.
Leave! I will never become Mo Yi Huai's queen even if I die!
Your Ladyship, please calm down. This is the decree of His Majesty.
Immediately try on the formal robes.
Your coronation ceremony will happen three days from now.
I don't want to see any mistakes.
Just kill me!
Kill you?
Exactly, I want to see you in such extreme torment that you'll wish you were dead.
You're better off just obeying what you are told.
Or else, the Queen Dowager, Jing Xin, and 14th
may not be able to see you become the Mother of the Kingdom.
Get out of here!
8th Brother, I finally get to see you. Elder Liu rescued us.
Which 8th Brother are you? Is it the present one or the future one?
I'm the present one and the future one.
14th, now, I have the consciousness of two people.
The two of us have merged into one.
Girl!
- Liu Qian Shui! - Shh!
Liu Qian Shui, how are Cheng Cheng and the Prince? Are they all right?
Ah?! What did you say? I couldn't hear it.
How are Cheng Cheng and the Prince? Are they okay?
Don't worry.
People named Mo Lian Cheng are given an auspicious fate.
They won't die that easily.
I just knew that Cheng Cheng would be all right.
He surely can't live without a girlfriend like me, who's both a goddess and a female warrior.
You said it quite right.
Girl, I've already successfully rescued 14th Prince and Jing Xin.
Really? Where are they now?
Don't worry. Someone will be here to help them.
- I don't need to worry about it then. - Yes.
The coast is clear.
Little girl, I still need your help with something.
Say it. I'm a royal secret agent after all. My fighting skills and intelligence are up there with the best.
Good. Find a chance to steal the Royal Command Seal from Mo Yi Huai.
Stay here quietly for now.
After the Queen's Coronation Ceremony, the situation will surely be reversed.
Old Weirdo, hope that our little universe will explode soon.
Fighting!
What 'ting'?
Fighting! It means let's work hard.
Then keep fighting here. I'll go back to 'Fighting' now.
Take care. Take good care of yourself.
I'm going back to 'Fighting' now.
Royal Grandfather was so biased. He only told 8th Brother about this secret passage.
Royal Grandfather, can you hear my complaints?
Stop delivering me food. I'm not eating.
Royal Grandmother!
Xuan'er! Xuan'er, come.
Xuan'er, why are you here?
Royal Grandmother, 8th Brother sent people to save me.
He's currently safe. No need for you to worry.
It's good that he's fine.
There are not even any palace maids attending to you! Mo Yi Huai has gone over the line!
Mo Yi Huai?
That treacherous grandchild Mo Yi Huai!
He killed the King! Murdered his own father and usurped the throne!
He destroyed all his intimate family ties! He totally is evil beyond any pardon!
Royal Grandmother, you're saying that Royal Father...
Royal Father was killed by Mo Yi Huai?
That treacherous Mo Yi Huai
forced His Majesty to abdicate his throne and write a succession decree.
His Majesty... could only drink the poisoned tea and kill himself!
Before he died, His Majesty wrote down the crimes of Mo Yi Huai.
Eunuch Xue risked his life
to give the decree to me.
Mo Yi Huai has actually committed such a treasonous act!
With this royal decree, we surely can expose the evil schemes of Mo Yi Huai.
We'll announce his crimes to the world.
Royal Grandmother, time is of the essence. We must leave this place quickly.
Xuan'er, there is heavy security outside my palace.
How do we get out?
I have my way.
An assassin has entered! Come with me!
Royal Grandmother, don't be afraid. That's someone sent by 8th Brother to distract them.
We must go through the secret passage now to leave this place.
Secret passage?
Since Mo Yi Huai wants to transform me into Qu Tan'er,
I'll pretend to be her then.
Let me use the 'beauty' trick and try to seduce him.
After all, I'm the Muse of the World in real estate sales.
Cheng Cheng, don't be angry at me for this.
How can I approach him without raising his suspicion?
Brother Yi Huai, are you tired?
Do you want to rest for a while?
Stop acting. Tan'er would never be like that.
Don't try to do any tricks in front of me.
This pervert.
It seems that I'll have to deliberately anger him, so I can find a chance.
Your Ladyship, let me tell you the process of the Coronation Ceremony.
On the day of the ceremony, the female Rites guide will lead you toward the front of the worship altar.
The Rites Official will then read to you the royal decree for the conferment of your title as Queen.
Enough! I'm not attending some bullshit Queen crowning ceremony!
Immediately put on the Queen's headdress for me!
I will never wear it! I will never marry you even if I have to die!
Wear it!
Mo Yi Huai, look at what you've become.
If the real Qu Tan'er were still alive, she surely wouldn't love a guy like you!
The person that Tan'er liked was that man who was affectionate, loyal, upright, and righteous!
Not some cold and heartless demon, who doesn't even recognize his own family!
You totally are not qualified to be with her!
You're not allowed to mention Tan'er in front of me.
Mo Yi Huai, you are not qualified to have the love of Tan'er!
Just ordinary.
So this is that rotten Royal Command Seal?
However, that little girl Qu Xiao Tan is indeed quite intelligent.
She was able to get the Royal Command Seal from Mo Yi Huai this fast.
She is indeed the Tribe Leader of my Qu Tribe.
It would be great if I could switch this Conferment Decree of the Queen as well.
It has already been prepared for me.
They really aren't treating me as an outsider.
For such a very important item,
they didn't even know to change its location.
The King decrees...
Who wrote this so illegibly?
The King decrees...
Elder, you returned victoriously. It seems you've found the Royal Command Seal.
Take a guess.
You said it quite right.
I found it.
How is Tan'er?
Guess again.
Let me tell you that she was the one who helped me to get this Royal Command Seal.
With this in our hands, this chess game of us has been revitalized.
Starting today, we don't need to just sit and wait for our doom.
Yu Hao, immediately take this Royal Command Seal
with my secret letter and find Marquis Wuyang of Yecheng. Have him mobilize the Yecheng City Guards to the capital overnight.
Yes.
You Ming, go with Elder Liu and immediately look for General Wei.
Ask him to dispatch an army to the Northern Gate first thing tomorrow morning.
At that time, my two armies, one from the north and the other from the south, will surround the royal capital city.
And I, Queen Dowager, and 14th Brother
will quietly mix in with the ceremonial party and secretly enter the royal palace.
We will expose Mo Yi Huai's scheme to usurp the throne.
Wait. Mo Yi Huai just ascended to the throne. He surely will be on his guard.
How will you be able to mix in with his ceremonial party?
The Lead Eunuch of the ceremonial party once received favors from me. He surely will help me tomorrow.
You said it quite right.
Let's not waste time. Immediately get into position.
Yes!

Cheng Cheng, I know that you'll come.
You will wear golden armor and ride a white horse and come to save me.
You will embrace me in your arms in the rosy light, and I'll escape while you gallop away.
Cheng Cheng, you surely won't let me to marry this demon.
You have helped me wipe out enemies and preserved my position,
disregarded danger, blocked off concealed weapons, and even romantically delivered me roses every day.
Mo Yi Huai can't match even a thousandth of you.
I don't want the status of being below one and above all others.
I only want to live ordinary days of petting a cat and touching your chest muscles.
Let's begin.
The prestige of the Queen is equal to that of the King.
They must serve Heaven and Earth together and respectfully serve the Royal Ancestors.
She will serve as Mother to the Kingdom. The Crown Prince Mo Yi Huai,
killed the King, murdered his own father, and usurped the Royal Throne.
He falsified a Royal Decree
- and committed a heinous crime-- - Stop reading!
What's going on?
- What's he reading? - What happened?
Did that really take place?
This... Royal Decree...
[The prestige of the Queen is equal to that of the King. They must serve Heaven and Earth together...]
My favored subjects,
the Conferment Decree has been secretly switched.
It must have been done by some individuals harboring evil intentions!
Was it other people harboring evil intentions
or was it yourself who indeed usurped the throne?!
High Officials of the Kingdom, in my hand
is the actual Royal Decree that the former King penned himself.
He is just a treacherous royal son who has usurped the throne!
The former King was threatened by this treacherous son
and opted to drink the poisoned tea. Before he passed away,
he had already secretly wrote down Mo Yi Huai's evil deeds in this decree.
Xuan'er, read it out loud for the High Officials of the Court.
Yes.
Mo Yi Huai, taking the throne by force and seizing power through a treacherous plot, is hereby proven to be a traitor.
I hope my Court Officials won't be blinded from the truth or succumb to any force.
I regret deeply my own mistakes.
Therefore, I have decided to pass the throne to the 8th Royal Prince, Mo Lian Cheng.
My Court Officials should support him with all their strength.
[...Therefore, I have decided to pass the throne to the 8th Royal Prince, Mo Lian Cheng. My Court Officials should support him with all their strength.]
My eyes were blinded.
I actually supported a treacherous man who murdered the King.
Fellow Officials, with the decree of the former King before us,
8th Royal Prince Mo Lian Cheng is the true Royal Successor to the throne.
So what if I killed the King to seize the throne?
Just to get the person that I love,
I indeed would be scrupulous enough to take this kingdom!
Tan'er is mine. From now on,
no one would be able to take her away from my side!
Officials, I'm giving you one more chance.
If you choose to loyally serve me,
not only will you be spared from execution,
I will even promote you and grant you a royal noble title!
Your Majesty, an army in the tens of thousands has already surrounded the Royal city.
You people dared to steal my Royal Command Seal!
So what if you've surrounded the Royal city?
My army will easily eliminate them.
Announce my edict to Immediately dispatch troops to encircle and annihilate them!
Don't leave anyone alive!
Replying to Your Majesty, they have the Royal Command Seal.
Right now, the majority of our army is refusing to follow our commands and refusing to fight.
General Wei Zong Heng has surrounded the Royal Palace. The 9th Royal Prince has already been arrested.
Impossible...
Impossible.
Royal Brother, when you got the Royal Command Seal,
even though you replaced a portion of the army with your trusted aides,
you had forgotten that soldiers
are people who only listen to the one who actually holds the Royal Command Seal.
Now, you only have less than a thousand men
that you can personally dispatch,
while I've already mobilized
the Yecheng City Guards back into the capital overnight.
With the old army of General Wei, they've already surrounded the Royal city from the north and the south.
You are already powerless to resist us.
Royal Brother, the matter has come to this. You already don't have any option for retreat.
I surely will be kind to you and Jing Kang.
I'll let you both safely live out the rest of your lives.
Favored officials and all others, since the matter has come to this,
may you all follow me and leave now.
