[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 25]
Doctor Zong.
Please.
Divine Physician Zong, she's my only child.
Please save her.
I'll do my best.
Are you saying that Qi Yun is wearing the Dragonscale Armor?
Why would you say that?
Have you seen anyone revived from the dead?
I have.
Qi Yun was born three months premature.
Since Qi Yun was born, her blood flow was reversed.
Her muscles and meridians were disorderly.
Every doctor in the capital said that she wouldn't live past the age of six.
Seeing Qi Yun again, seeing that she's just like any other person...
She was either cured of her illness...
or she's wearing the Dragonscale Armor.
How can we verify it?
A doctor has a way to find out.
I'll have the chance to examine her when she falls ill.
If taking off the Dragonscale Armor kills her...
what will you do?
Although I wish to save Fu Yao
I don't wish to implicate innocent lives.
Is there a perfect solution to this?
Yue...
She has regained consciousness.
I'll come over every day for the next couple of days.
Although the symptoms are severe, her life isn't in danger.
Thank you, Doctor.
Elder Statesman, you can head in and have a look.
But she mustn't exert herself.
Let her rest.
See to the doctor for me.
Yes.
Doctor, this way, please.
Doctor... children shouldn't fall victim to the wrongdoings of their parents.
Qi Yun mustn't be dragged into our personal grudges.
She's just a girl.
Each person has his or her own grudges and destiny.
You can't leave it behind or change it.
It's all predestined.
There's no point in going against the gods.
Don't hurt her!
I beg you.
Don't...
Don't be scared.
I've already taken care of the bodies.
No one will find their way here.
You can set your mind at ease.
Right...
Are you tired?
I didn't expect that... they'd meet such a tragic end.
They don't even have a tomb.
They were going to kill you.
What are you pitying them for?
They only tried to harm me.
What a quirk of fate.
Who can they blame?
Thank you.
You should get some rest.
No... I... I've made you some food.
Why don't you... have some?
Whether or not you're hungry, just have some, will you?
Why are you suddenly so nice to me?
This...
Is this yours?
Young Master said that as long as you carry this pouch on you
Cuiliang Hall will be the safest place in the palace.
I knew it was you!
I knew that it's you! You must be my Lian'er.
I thought I'd never see you again, my daughter.
You never know what life brings.
Back then, when I was forced... to abandon you, do you know...
I left this pouch right by your side?
I thought that I might get to see you someday!
I...
It's been years.
I really thought that you were dead.
I...
I'm not her, Miss Fairy.
You're still calling me Miss Fairy?
Are you mad at me?
Lian'er...
How could there be such a mother?
It's not that I didn't miss you.
I really thought that you had died.
Do you know how much I missed you every day?
I've been in this dark room for so many years.
I suffered, I was distressed...
No one answered, even if I yelled my heart out.
I really... swore at the Xuanyuan family a 100 times
and hated the Zhangsun family 1,000 times.
I cursed the unjust gods a million times!
Fortunately...
Fortunately, you've come home to me.
If you hadn't appeared before me, alive and well
I... I...
I really may not have been able to go on living.
Right...
I didn't know who you were back then.
I even locked you up and hit you.
Are you hurt? Let me see.
I'm all right.
Don't blame me.
Your mother is old now.
My head isn't working well.
Don't blame me! Don't blame me!
- I don't! Don't-- - Don't blame me!
I don't blame you! I never did!
I...
But you're really not my mother.
I'm an orphan.
They told me that I never had a mother.
They lied to you!
That's a lie they made up to stop us from reuniting!
Right... Look!
This is all worn and torn.
It's all because you didn't have your mother around!
Now... now that you're here by my side
I can... I can sew this up very nicely.
I mean it. I can sew very well.
It's all right. Don't bother!
- It's not a bother! - It's all right!
How about this?
Let's leave that. We don't need that.
Look.
Lian'er, you're all that I thought of these past few years.
Every year, I wondered about how tall you must be.
I thought about how big you'd gotten.
I made you so many outfits.
When you were little, I thought that you'd surely grow very quickly.
So I made you many colorful clothes.
Look!
I made you so many colorful clothes. There's this one too.
Look, this one is colorful too.
Then, when you were 15 years old
I thought you should have a wrap skirt.
Look, this is a wrap skirt.
Right, it's time you have a dark-colored blouse.
Look!
Look, how pretty!
When you get older
I thought that I should make you some with wider sleeves.
Right... look!
Anyway, I spent all these years sewing.
I managed to save up some clothes.
Take a look.
If you don't like them, I can make you more.
Xuanyuan Xiao's daughter has to be pretty!
I've finally found you.
Look.
Look how pretty my daughter is.
I'll dress you up in so many beautiful clothes.
All right?
Come here.
Take a look.
How lovely my daughter looks!
All right, we won't talk about this.
You should get some rest.
I've sent someone to pick flowers.
You must have forgotten?
When you were little, you loved looking at jade blossoms.
Right.
Back then, I put a jade blossom in your hair.
You'd smile all day long.
It's lovely to have flowers around.
You'll feel more energized if there are some flowers, right?
You should have some food first.
Look, try some.
This is really good. Try some.
- Granny! - Try some.
I got you the flowers!
Commandery Princess, you've just recovered.
Be careful not to catch a cold.
I feel like I've seen you before.
I've been staying at the manor for some time.
There are so many people here.
It's no surprise that you've seen me.
No... that isn't it.
You seem like someone I haven't seen in years...
An old friend.
You're frail so it's likely that you're imagining things.
You should get some rest.
I'll take my leave.
This is great! I finally get to see you, Fu Yao!
Good gracious, my baby brother.
What are you doing here?
Do you know how dangerous it is?
I'm here to save you!
You... you're here to save me?
- Can you save me? - I have to!
I have to save you!
All right... go on and save me.
Where's Little Tail?
Ya Lan Zhu?
She went to look for General Zhan.
I knew you were in the palace.
I was going to sell myself as a slave to get in here.
But who knew that they'd want to remove--
Shush. What did they want to remove?
My... balls.
I couldn't let them do it so I ran away.
Then I ran into this Granny and she saved me.
I would've been doomed otherwise!
I'm so happy to see you! This is great!
Look at you. You're really too bold.
You came in here...
This...
Didn't I do it all for you?
You even dressed up like this. What's this?
Let me see.
This granny doesn't like men.
She only wants girls to attend to her, so I had no choice
but to put on this disguise first.
You're not to laugh at me!
I took a great risk!
- Give it back. - It suits you.
- Does it? - You look pretty.
Give it back!
That Granny looks so mean.
She was actually willing to save you?
You have no idea.
That Granny seems to have quite a weird temper
but she really dotes on me.
Sometimes, when she can't see clearly
she even treats me as her daughter.
Sometimes, she's clearheaded, sometimes she's confused.
Think about it.
These quarters are huge.
But she lives here all alone.
She's really pitiful.
Does it look all right?
Are you really all right?
A young lady's appearance is the most important thing.
You must groom with care.
For instance, the hair mustn't be messy.
Fortunately, Miss Fairy isn't in her right mind.
Otherwise, my facial disguise would be exposed by the mirror.
No one ever told me about such matters.
I don't know how to behave like a girl.
That's because you didn't have a mother then.
It's different now.
You've come back to me.
You'll have everything that other girls have.
I'll teach you slowly about what a girl should do and wish for.
I... never met my parents.
I wondered why they had me and abandoned me.
Sadly, you're not my real mother either.
I'm definitely your mother.
Look.
Look!
Aren't your ears, eyes, and mouth ...just like mine?
You're just as pretty as I was when I was young.
You'll surely find someone you love and live happily ever after.
What... what about you?
You're so beautiful.
Where's your husband?
My husband?
My husband...
What should I do?
He doesn't love me.
He isn't fond of me.
He isn't fond of me!
He likes her!
He's always been fond of her!
They...
They have a child!
They had a child together!
What should I do?
It's all right. It's all in the past.
I'm the princess of Taiyuan Kingdom!
I'm a princess!
It's the blessing of a century for the imperial family...
that I married into Tianquan Kingdom!
You!
You can't kill my Lian'er!
You can't do this to me!
No! You can't do this to me!
You can't kill my Lian'er!
You can't!
My Lian'er! Lian'er!
- It's all right! - You can't!
You can't kill my--
Who knew that...
Who knew that you... had so many sad memories?
It's all right now.
It's all right...
From now on, I'm your Lian'er.
Fu Yao!
- Fu Yao-- - Shush!
She just fell asleep.
Someone's here to catch you. Go!
What for? Who would--
Are you Consort of Benevolence, Yuwen Zi?
Yes, I am.
That's good.
Your Ladyship, please come with us.
Elder Statesman Qi asked to see you.
You see, the king has given orders
that I am to stay in the Cold Palace as punishment.
I can't leave at will.
I wouldn't dare to defy his orders.
Your Ladyship, the king has gone to attend the ritual in Changyuan
so he isn't in the palace.
Elder Statesman is asking you over
because someone from your family in Changning is visiting.
Madam Yuwen came all the way here just to see you.
Besides, this is an act of grace from both the king and Elder Statesman Qi
so it's best for you to head over there.
Elder Statesman Qi is so thoughtful.
I really must thank him properly.
However...
I haven't seen my mother for a long time.
I'll have to get changed and dress up nicely.
What do you think?
That's just as well.
Your Ladyship, please be quick.
We'll wait right here.
Why is Elder Statesman Qi absent from such an important ritual?
He's down with a cold and couldn't get out of bed.
He called in sick to the Inner Court early this morning.
The auspicious hour has arrived!
The water ritual begins!
Offering of the blessed water!
The great waters of the five kingdoms, insignificant Taiyuan in comparison!
We look up to you for the gifts you've bestowed upon us.
The rivers run long and deep, like the bloodline of Xuanyuan.
The dome is bright and sparkling.
Water is the very existence of the entire kingdom.
It's held in the highest regard.
Our drop brings forth intelligence and light into our lives.
An alter is set up to pay our respects and show our affection.
This concludes the ritual!
Please pay your respects!
Kneel!
The first kowtow!
Rise!
Kowtow again!
Rise!
The third kowtow!
Rise! The ritual is over!
The offerings are to float or sink.
The water is gentle but also rough.
It nurtures an abundance of life!
The value in the offerings, be it high or low
be it float or sink, the gods shall know.
May the offerings reach them.
Alas, alas! May the gods have a taste of the offerings!
The ceremony has ended!
The gods now return to their places.
The king bestows the blessings!
What will you do, Fu Yao?
I'm afraid the odds are against me today.
Why don't we just run for it?
Otherwise, once you get to the Elder Statesman's manor
it won't be easy to escape with so many people around.
How about I lure them away so you can escape?
That won't do.
Why not?
You... What are you going to do?
I can't run.
If I do, I'll implicate a lot of people.
They will all be killed for it.
Their lives matter, but what about yours?
Of course my life matters.
I haven't had enough fun in this lifetime.
Don't worry.
I'll think of a way to escape if necessary.
My King, you must be exhausted after going through
all the minor and major stages of the ritual.
Yes, I should head back and get some rest.
My King.
According to the ancestral code, you can't return to the palace yet.
- Huh? - This...
My King.
This concerns the livelihood of thousands of our people.
It mustn't be taken lightly.
According to the ancestral code
the king has to stay on the ritual platform of Changyuan for a day
after the ritual ends.
You have to abstain from meat and pray for your people.
Only then is the ritual complete.
Exactly.
Then we'll just follow the rules.
However, Elder Statesman is over 50 years old now.
He has overexerted himself and is even sick now.
Send someone over to his manor to take a look.
If he's severely ill, who will bear responsibility over Taiyuan?
I will see to this immediately.
Go on.
My King.
I even have to stay in such a place.
Tell me. It's so cold and humid out here.
I even have to abstain from meat and chant sutras.
Who could have known that a king leads such a miserable life?
My King, I understand how you feel.
I've prepared everything.
Oh?
All right.
My King.
My King!
Greetings, My King.
Well done.
Thank you, My King.
My King, I know you must feel lonely, all alone in here.
I thought that I must find a way to come here to relieve you of boredom.
I also brought you your favorite snacks from the palace.
My King, please don't blame me for doing so.
Changyuan... has always been a very cold place.
Not only did you think of that, but you even came to keep me company.
How could I blame you?
It's just tough on a beauty to suffer such hardship with me.
My King, why would you say that?
I couldn't be more pleased to do so.
Bring it over here.
Present the snacks.
Fu Yao...
Cao Cheng.
Present.
Send for some dancers to add to the cheer.
Yes, My King.
What is the situation?
Tell Xuanyuan Min to save Fu Yao from Qi Zhen's manor. Be quick!
I'm a bit tired today.
You're all dismissed.
My King...
That day, wasn't I attending to you in the palace?
I didn't expect to be so unwell that I'd fall asleep.
Not only did I fail to fulfill my duty as your consort
but I dampened your spirits too!
Whenever it comes to my mind
I feel so bad about it.
My King...
I wonder if you could give me another chance tonight?
I'll be sure to attend to you--
Zhi Rong, behave.
Don't make a sound.
Don't shout.
All right?
Yes...
My King...
You're so naughty.
My King!
[Elder Statesman's Manor]
After you.
Consort of Benevolence, this way.
Your Ladyship, please wait a moment.
I'll take my leave.
Godfather.
Didn't you ask me here to see my mother?
Where is she?
It isn't your mother who wishes to see you.
I have some questions for you.
Godfather, you can summon me anytime if you have any questions.
Why--
How dare you!
How dare you collude with Xuanyuan Min in secret?
Godfather, is there some sort of misunderstanding?
The king and I have never colluded in secret.
Is that so?
Then why is it that when I just sent someone to escort you out of the palace
he's already rushing over here from Changyuan to see you?
The king...
Is he really at the manor?
The water ritual.
It's such an important ceremony.
He'd actually leave the ceremony to come to my manor for you.
He said he found out that I had asked you to come over
without reporting it to him.
He got so angry that he rode all the way here.
No one could hold him back. He insists on taking you with him.
Tell me. Are the two of you that inseparable...
or is there some other secret?
Godfather.
I was sent to Cuiliang Hall.
Moreover, I've never been graced with the king's favor.
How would I dare to collude with him?
He's just using you as an excuse.
You're not that punk's ultimate goal.
He's targeting me.
Do you still remember?
Before I married you into the palace
I told you that you were a dominant star.
How did you answer me then?
I owe my life to you, Elder Statesman Qi.
If you'd like anything from me, you need only to say it.
You're the Consort of Benevolence now.
Do those words still count?
Whatever the consequences...
as long as you wish for it, Godfather
I'll surely do all that I can, whatever the cost.
It's my blessing to share your burdens.
Is that so?
Well then, you'll get an opportunity to do so today.
Ever since Xuanyuan Min succeeded the throne
I've put up with him and tried to be considerate in every way.
However, he's acting more and more absurd and willful.
He shows no concern for the people.
He has let all of Taiyuan Kingdom down.
The throne should have been mine.
I'm keeping him as a puppet, not as a snake in my bosom.
Xuanyuan Min is now a thorn in my flesh that must be removed.
Today, he has come over to my manor all alone.
It's as good as walking right into a trap.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
Xuanyuan Min should be having tea and getting some rest in the courtyard.
I want you to kill him with your own hands.
Show me your loyalty.
If he dies, I can ensure you a lifetime of luxury.
Otherwise, the Yuwen family will die in his stead.
My King.
Did Elder Statesman Qi pick on you?
I rushed all the way here from Changyuan to bring you back to the palace.
My King, I'm just an illegitimate daughter from the Yuwen family.
It's with Elder Statesman Qi's support that I can attend to you.
I'm just being punished for my actions.
How could I trouble you to fetch me personally?
There's some unspoken reason for what happened at the Winter Clothing Festival.
It was too harsh to send you to Cuiliang Hall.
Since someone else framed Consort of Virtue
the case must be thoroughly investigated.
You've always behaved well and I'm very fond of you.
Whatever you did wrong, I'll write it off today.
In another quarter of an hour
if she still hasn't made a move, just... kill her.
Yes.
Thank you, My King.
You--
My King?
My King...
My King!
My King! My King!
My goodness!
You killed the king?
Godfather, I killed him... I killed him.
Let me take a look.
He's just an occultist who was going to die anyway.
It's just his luck he died by your hand.
Well... Yun Hen, spend a bit more money to appease his family.
Yes.
- I-- - Don't be scared.
You still have me here.
Godfather!
Don't be scared.
Here, have a seat.
You must've had quite a fright.
Listen up.
That was just a small trick.
But I saw clearly just how loyal you are to me.
I never thought that...
Godfather...
Godfather, you actually had such little faith in me.
Everything I have now, you gave me, Godfather.
I...
Even if it weren't for Godfather
I'd surely obey you, just for my own sake.
It's normal to be frightened.
It wouldn't be right if you weren't scared.
I've killed a man...
Now that you've killed a man for me, I understand how loyal you are to me.
Listen, I'll have someone escort you back to the palace later.
You should keep leading your life well.
Leave the rest to me.
But you must remember
that no one else can offer you wealth and fame.
No one will care for your life.
I can have your back.
When you return to the palace, be the good consort you should be.
A life of wealth and luxury is definitely waiting for you.
In the future...
I will entrust you with an important task.
I'll keep that in mind.
- You-- - Shush.
It's you.
It really is you.
