[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 30]
- I don't remember. - I heard...
That day...
was just like today.
Why was her child anointed as the crown prince today?
Don't make a sound.
Lian'er...
My Lian'er...
Lian'er?
My Lian'er?
Lian'er...
Prince De killed you!
Zhangsun Jia killed you!
The gods will punish you!
They will punish you...
I'm sorry.
Auntie.
I shouldn't treat you like this.
But the secret you know is the one truth I seek.
Yun Hen...
I remember teaching you how to hold a sword
when you were five or six years old.
It was this very sword.
Do you still remember?
Who could have known...
that you'd use it to kill me today?
The sword has a new owner now.
You served me for all this time, traveling with me everywhere.
You went through many hardships.
But deep in my heart...
I saw you as my own son.
If you care for me in the slightest...
promise me this.
Treat Yun kindly.
Don't you worry.
I'd never hurt her.
I trust you.
All right.
Let's put an end to this.
Take a good look at him.
The face of a hypocrite.
Our parents were deceived by him!
He's the enemy who wiped out your entire family.
Not your godfather!
Kill!
I'll kill you!
I can't do it...
Look at Taiyuan Kingdom.
From now on...
the throne of Taiyuan is yours.
Taiyuan's responsibilities are yours to bear.
If you can't even kill a treacherous subject today
how will you succeed the throne of Taiyuan?
I don't want some damn throne!
You're my older brother.
The throne should be yours!
I'm begging you...
Let him live.
He did raise me, after all.
Years of upbringing...
It still matters more than your blood.
And there's Yun.
Yun... She's so frail.
If she were to learn of this, she wouldn't be able to go on.
You promised me! You promised me you wouldn't hurt her!
Exactly.
Since you agreed not to hurt her...
The two of you made a promise!
Put an end to this.
Come on!
Yun Hen, do it.
Shut up!
I know...
that 78 lives in our manor were just taken that night.
I know that you endured all sorts of suffering to survive.
My surname is Xuanyuan.
There's no reason for me to plead for the enemy who wiped out my family.
But even if we want to seek revenge
is taking lives the only way to do it?
Even if you kill Qi Zhen today, would Father come back to life?
Will he?
Qi Zhen has already been defeated.
All that he has ever wanted can never be fulfilled!
We got our revenge.
I.. I...
I'll keep him locked in a dungeon for the rest of his life.
I'll make him repent day and night!
Isn't that good enough?
A moment's compassion...
Can you bear the consequences of what that compassion might bring?
Forget it.
Whatever.
How can I force my brother to commit murder?
It's just that...
you'll only know the pain...
when your own blood is spilled.
Although we're brothers
birds of different feathers don't flock together.
The throne of Taiyuan is meant to be passed onto you.
If you don't want it, just let anyone have it.
All I wanted...
was just to seek revenge.
Where are you going?
I've finished what I set out to do.
It's time to repay whatever kindness I owe.
What about Yun?
Affections of the heart...
are always deadly.
Take care.
My Lian'er...
Lian'er...
She's no more...
You...
You're not my daughter.
Are you?
It's not that I didn't miss you.
I really thought you were dead.
Look how pretty my daughter is!
It's different now.
You've come back to me now.
You'll have everything that all girls have.
Whatever a girl should do and think...
I'll teach you all of that slowly.
You'll surely find a great husband and live happily ever after.
I'm going to leave this place.
I'm going to look for Lian'er.
My poor Lian'er...
I'm sorry...
In the end...
you didn't let her off.
All you did...
was use everyone.
Who exactly are you?
Why did you come to Taiyuan?
Have you thought it through?
Once you lift the first tier of the spell off of her
her destiny will change.
If the spell isn't lifted...
can she survive?
I'm afraid not.
Then this is meant to happen.
I'll definitely fulfill... my promise to you.
Are you sure that Qi Yun's life won't be at risk?
Since you asked for a perfect solution, I wouldn't dare to do otherwise.
Don't worry.
It's time.
Fu Yao.
I'm lifting this tier of spell for you
because I trust that you'll make the right choice.
I'm also destined to a life that's entangled with yours.
How much do you have to suffer before you can be who you really are?
I hope that you'll never have to live in someone else's body again.
Look at that unyielding face of hers.
From now on, she will have a lot more to suffer.
We've done what we set out to do here.
What will you do next?
I'm leaving this place.
I'll continue with what I'm supposed to do.
What about her?
Do you believe in destiny?
I do.
If she and I are meant to meet again...
however far apart we may be...
we'll surely meet again.
What about the Englobement Bell?
This is the best time to take it from her.
Take good care of yourself.
Let's go.
Taiyuan Kingdom...
is now in your hands.
She will wake up in four hours.
Fu Yao!
Seven?
Fu Yao!
Seven.
I'm fine.
I finally found you.
Fu Yao, why has your facial disguise disappeared?
I don't know either.
My face was back when I woke up.
You definitely look better with your own face.
By the way, where were you last night?
I was worried sick.
I couldn't find you after the rebels stormed the palace.
Fortunately, that fake king told me that you're by a lake near the city.
Otherwise, Taiyuan is so big.
I'd have had a hard time finding you.
- The fake king? - Yes.
That fake Xuanyuan Min.
You don't know about it, do you?
So much happened overnight.
Do you know that Young Master Yun Hen from the Elder Statesman's manor
has become the King of Taiyuan?
He even anointed Commandery Prince of Xiping's daughter
Gao Pu Ruo as the queen.
From what I heard...
that Commandery Prince of Xiping betrayed Qi Zhen at the last moment
because the fake king promised him that his daughter could be the queen.
Who could have known that after all the effort that fake Xuanyuan Min made
he'd just end up protecting the kingdom for someone else?
I wonder who he really is.
Indeed...
Who exactly is he?
Fu Yao...
What should we do now?
Where are we going next?
Fu Yao?
Fu Yao!
What's wrong?
You're right.
Where exactly can we go?
Whatever.
We have to go somewhere anyway.
Why don't we just follow the current and see where we end up?
Sure, I'll do as you say.
Where's my quintuple-color pebble?
The first tier of spell has been lifted.
But there are four more to go.
I'll be waiting for you at the next stop.
I hope this Leaf of Spiritual Elixir will bring you back to me.
I'll be waiting for you.
You're such a jerk! How dare you take what's mine?
Just wait till I find you, I'll be sure to boil you in a pot.
"The gentle breeze from the south blows on the heart of that jujube tree."
"Till that heart looks tender and beautiful."
"What toil and pain did our mother endure!"
"The gentle breeze from the south blows on the branches of that jujube tree."
"Our mother is wise and good; but among us there is no one good."
Let's see if there's a farmhouse nearby.
If we're lucky, we might get some food.
You're making me hungry just saying that.
Fu Yao, I smell meat.
You must be too hungry.
I mean it. I have a keen sense of smell.
See? There really is some meat!
But that's strange.
Why is there a fire, but no one around?
Watch out!
Madam, spare my life!
Madam, spare me!
How dare you try to rob me?
Where are you from?
I'm not a bandit.
I just need some money for my journey so I thought of robbing you.
Fu Yao.
Look at his tribal emblem.
He must serve under Prince Lie.
Zhan Bei Ye?
How could scum like you Zhan Bei Ye's subordinate?
- Where is he? - He--
He led us in attacking Taiyuan.
After we lost the battle, we got separated.
I haven't seen him since!
Zhan Bei Ye attacked Taiyuan?
Are you sure?
I was there when Tiansha attacked the city.
Why didn't I see him?
Seven, hang him up until he tells the truth!
Don't!
I'll tell you!
I don't serve Prince Lie.
Who are you then?
Madam, I'm from the Gold of Tiansha.
What's the Gold of Tiansha?
The Gold of Tiansha is the troop of royal guards
that serves the King of Tiansha, Zhan Nan Cheng!
Why are you pretending to be Prince Lie's subordinate then?
This is...
Unless Zhan Nan Cheng ordered you to act like Zhan Bei Ye's subordinates
to collude with Qi Zhen?
He was the one who attacked Taiyuan, but he's framing Zhan Bei Ye for it.
Is that right?
Yes.
What does this mean?
If Qi Zhen had succeeded
Zhan Nan Cheng could've benefitted from attacking Taiyuan.
But if Qi Zhen failed
Zhan Bei Ye would be the one to take the fall.
That really is well planned.
Doesn't that mean... that Prince Lie is in great trouble?
This...
Prince Lie will soon become a wanted fugitive in the five kingdoms.
Not even the Emperor of Tianquan can save him then.
Walk faster!
We'll head over to the Imperial City of Tianquan then.
Now that I have this witness, I'll see if justice still exists.
Save us...
We can't go any further! Stop!
What are you doing?
What is it?
There's a black flag.
A black flag means that there's an epidemic.
If you catch the disease, you're bound to die!
If you're scared, you can stay here.
Seven, hold onto my horse.
I'll go get us some water.
Sure.
Keep an eye on him.
- You mustn't go there! - Be careful.
- Don't talk. - Get back here!
Shut up!
I'm coming.
Young lady!
Young lady.
What's the matter with them?
[Qiao Ling, the maid of Xuanji Kingdom's Fo Lian.]
They're all refugees who contracted the disease.
You don't seem to be ill.
Are you here to help save them?
I...
I'm just passing by.
I was going to ask you for some water.
Young lady, you are...
I'm Qiao Ling.
It's good you came here for water.
The rivers nearby are contaminated by the disease.
Fortunately, my young mistress can wield some powers.
Only our water is clean.
Young lady, come with me.
Young lady, your young mistress is...
That's her.
All of them address my young mistress as Saintess Fo Lian.
They regard her as a benefactor and samaritan of the five kingdoms.
My young mistress has always been kind so she can't bear to see anyone suffer.
[Feng Jing Fan, second princess of Xuanji Kingdom, known as Fo Lian.]
Young lady, it's here.
Here.
Young lady, you're in the middle of nowhere.
Why would your young mistress come here to treat patients?
It's not up to my young mistress.
These people came to seek refuge in the Imperial City of Tianquan.
No one wanted to await their death at home.
But as they fear
that the disease will spread to the Imperial City
these people aren't even allowed through the gate.
My young mistress decided to save as many as she could.
Here you go.
Thank you.
My young mistress spent a lot of money to hire quite a few doctors.
Now that they are here, the situation should improve soon.
Fu Yao!
That fellow escaped!
He escaped?
- Go after him! - I did!
But... he suddenly passed out.
He's wounded and travel-worn.
The disease is raging.
His symptoms have yet to show.
In his condition, he needs to be observed for a few more days.
We rushed all the way here from Taiyuan.
Nothing seemed amiss on our way here.
Where did this disease come from?
You came from Taiyuan?
That makes sense.
The disease first broke out in the suburbs of Tianquan
adjacent to Taiyuan.
The suburbs of Tianquan?
I heard there's a war in Taiyuan.
Many have died.
That makes it even easier for the disease to spread.
It seems that his symptoms are far worse than I thought.
This disease is really odd.
Seven and I were perfectly fine on our way here.
But he suddenly collapsed.
It differs from person to person.
Some simply don't contract the disease
but some catch it, however careful they are.
It must be their fate.
Why don't I give you a hand?
It's best not to go near him.
Look, although you're fine now, the disease is raging.
I'm worried you might catch it, sooner or later.
Cover up.
But you're also a mere mortal.
You look after so many people every day.
Aren't you afraid you'll fall ill?
I made an oath in front of Buddha.
I must do good deeds and establish good will.
The fact that I'm still healthy is all thanks to Buddha's blessings.
So I don't dare to slack off.
Bear with it. It's going to hurt a bit.
Fu Yao.
Well?
Is it done?
Well...
I handed out the silver taels we earned to the patients.
But Fu Yao, that makes us completely broke now.
We can always make more money.
We've received so much help from them.
We should help them as much as we can.
Oh, right.
I heard from the patients...
they're all going to the Imperial City of Tianquan to look for a kind of leaf.
It's said to be a miraculous cure.
It can cure this disease.
Miraculous cure?
They also said that only the emperor can control this situation.
Right, there's also...
What was it?
They said that the Crown Prince of Tianquan is returning soon.
When he returns, everyone will be saved.
The Crown Prince of Tianquan?
I think he's called...
Zhang... Zhangsun Wu Ji!
I'm all worn out.
Zhangsun Wu Ji?
Take a look at this.
[Duan Tong, the Prime Minister of the Inner Court of Tianquan Kingdom.]
[Huo Yuan Shan, General of the Emperor’s Guards.]
What I meant was that since Crown Prince Wu Ji has returned
he should be handling the political affairs of the Imperial Court.
That includes the 100,000 imperial guards, of course.
Prince Yi is temporarily managing in the crown prince's absence.
Those 100,000 guards have served under Prince Yi for five years.
Prince Yi is conscientious and handles everything personally.
He has never made a blunder.
You'd have him hand over his military power with just a few words.
I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Crown Prince Wu Ji is endowed with an insurmountable talent.
He's protected by the sacred power of Qiongcang.
He's also loved and supported by the people of the five kingdoms.
After 10 years of training in Qiongcang
he'll be even more skilled when he returns.
Master Duan, what's there to worry about when he has returned to take charge?
It's exactly because Crown Prince Wu Ji has trained in Qiongcang for 10 years
that he's not familiar with the political affairs of the Imperial Court
and the matters of the five kingdoms.
[Zhangsun Jiong, Emperor of Tianquan.]
However much of a genius he may be
we can't just have him take over everything in one go.
We should hand over the authority to him a little at a time.
He will also have to train his own army slowly.
The people in the city learned of Crown Prince Wu Ji's return
and everyone has already decorated the streets with lanterns.
They said that it's a blessing to have the crown prince return
in such times of calamity.
The crown prince was remarkable enough 10 years ago.
Now, when the people are lining up in the streets to welcome him home
you want to have him idle around, doing nothing?
Prince Yi assists with the governance loyally.
He's also held in high regard by the people.
Not to mention that he just annihilated bandits in Nanrong.
He returned in victory.
No other man is as valiant.
It's fine if he isn't commended for it.
But how could we curtail his authority?
I'd like to report to Your Majesty.
Crown Prince Wu Ji is returning home after completing his training.
The people are looking forward to his return.
A ceremony should be arranged to welcome him
according to the people's wishes.
This will set the people's minds at ease.
I think that as the disease is still raging
and we're tight on relief funds
it's best to keep things simple.
I believe this will win the people over all the more
in favor of the crown prince.
Did you see that?
I did.
In the struggle for power...
everyone takes a different stand.
Your eldest brother, Ping Rong, did make quite an effort in the past few years.
He has won some people over.
It's not that they are in awe of your brother's ability
it's rather that they are uncertain that you're still as remarkable
as you were many years ago.
So many years have gone by.
Those who no longer favor you will have to be won back
one by one.
I understand.
Have you found that Englobement Bell I told you to find?
Forgive my incompetence.
I couldn't bring the Englobement Bell back to Tianquan as you wished, Father.
You're aware that object can influence the world...
Why did you still let me down?
The Englobement Bell is the national treasure of Tiansha.
It belongs to the royal Zhan family.
I think that--
Am I robbing them of their treasure?
I wouldn't dare think so.
Since it's a treasure that everyone covets
it's best to be left in the care of Father.
You should know the consequences of defying an imperial decree.
I'll accept any punishment willingly.
Your mother has been waiting for you.
You're dismissed.
Yes.
Empress, this was just concocted by His Majesty.
He'd like you to try it.
[Yuan Qing Yi, Empress of Tianquan.]
I heard you.
Bring it in.
Yes.
Everyone says that Crown Prince Wu Ji is returning soon.
Look at how the city is decorated.
The people are so happy that it's like Lunar New Year for them.
They're all talking about it, waiting and looking forward to his return.
Crown Prince is finally coming home.
Such news...
Is His Majesty aware of it?
He does.
He even ordered to have arrangements made in the palace.
Good.
We'll just wait to hear from His Majesty.
Yes.
May Buddha bless us.
Although I don't know how you're related to him
I can tell that you're the most upset about his death.
I'm really not upset about his death.
What is it then?
He was a really important witness.
I'll be honest with you.
A close friend of mine was wronged for no reason.
I needed to take that witness to the Imperial City
to seek audience with the emperor and clear my friend's name.
Who could have known that--
Whatever.
I'll seek audience with the emperor in the Imperial City first.
Are you saying that you're going to the Imperial City?
You're even going to seek audience with the emperor?
What's wrong with that?
