[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 58]
Give it to me.
I won't.
Are you going to give it to me or not?
I know how to make you hand it over.
Don't come out of there.
Remember!
Where did you hide that child?
You won't tell me?
Fine!
Guards.
Drag her out.
Torture her by scrubbing her raw.
Yes!
Auntie Wan!
What are you doing out here?
Your Majesty, I beg you!
She's just a child!
I beg you to spare her!
I'm begging you!
- Please spare her! - I'll give it to you!
You can take it! I beg you!
Please don't bully Auntie Wan again!
I'm begging you!
Don't bully Auntie Wan again!
She's just a child!
- I'm begging you! - Please?
Please--
Drag her out too!
- Yes! - Your Majesty!
Wu Ming!
- Auntie Wan! - Your Majesty!
Don't!
She had them kill Auntie Wan.
She said she'd kill me too.
One of the guards couldn't stand it.
Auntie Wan!
He secretly spared me one last breath.
That day...
It's all right, don't cry.
I died once that day.
Don't cry.
And came back to life again.
I lost all my memories.
I came back to life without any memories.
This is all my fault.
It's all my fault.
This is all my fault.
If it weren't for me
why would you have endured so much hardship and pain?
It's my fault.
This is all my fault.
I heard that there was such a divine sighting
on the night you were born.
The entire palace was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
It was just like paradise.
I also heard that you smiled when you were born.
When you smiled, even more flowers blossomed.
It's such a pity...
It's such a pity!
I never got to witness any of it.
But who else can I blame?
If only I hadn't coveted some useless reputation
and left you and your mother to fight some battle
why would the two of you have suffered such torment?
For the sake of the people?
For the sake of the world?
If a man can't even protect his wife and daughter...
what could he accomplish, even if he becomes a hero?
I...
Some husband I was!
I...
Some father I am!
You must blame me, don't you?
Even I despise myself.
I once prided myself for defending the world with these hands.
Yet now...
they're just stained with blood.
They've taken countless innocent lives!
I know that I'm utterly devoid of a conscience.
Yet I willingly held a candle to the devil.
Do you know why?
Because I wanted to find you and your mother.
You wanted to find me?
You wanted to find me and Mother.
Do you know what the biggest regret of my life is?
I never met my parents.
I never knew why they didn't want me.
I imagined who I could be countless times.
I thought of...
standing in front of my parents and telling them...
"Your daughter has grown up."
"I haven't let you down."
I just never thought that it would end up like this.
The death that kept us apart...
The separation from my kin...
It was all just for the sake of the throne.
The throne...
I know I have no right...
to make you acknowledge me as your father.
For the sake of those obsessions and so-called justice...
so many have forsaken their principles and families.
But I couldn't care less.
I'm standing here today...
I just want you to take a good look at me.
I'm here to tell you that...
your daughter has grown up.
You...
Do you think I resemble Mother?
Father...
My daughter...
Father!
My daughter...
Arrest that witch!
The witch can bewitch minds!
Even Crown Prince Wu Ji was bewitched by her!
Arrest her!
Why aren't you taking any action?
You dare to defy the royal decree.
You'll be executed for it!
Everyone knows the legend of Xuanji Kingdom's queen
rising as a phoenix from the flames.
Only the true heir of Xuanji can reactivate the altar
and summon the phoenix of Purple Phoenix River.
What happened today proves one thing.
She!
She's the true heir of Xuanji Kingdom!
I, Tang Yi Zhong, am willing to serve Your Majesty!
We're willing to serve Your Majesty!
Liar!
All of you are liars!
You...
You just wanted to usurp my throne!
You went to such great lengths to come up with this conspiracy!
Crown Prince Wu Ji!
Are you trying to annihilate Xuanji Kingdom?
You're my elder.
I didn't want to speak of your crimes in front of everyone.
But you had to force me to do it.
Listen carefully!
All these years, Feng Xuan committed grave sins that cannot be pardoned!
I'll only mention the three most significant ones.
First, she murdered Feng Qi and harmed her daughter
to usurp the throne without legitimacy.
Second, using information on Feng Qi and her daughter
she forced General Yu Heng to take innocent lives
and carry out despicable acts.
Third, in order to cover up the situation at Purple Phoenix River
she took numerous lives.
She committed heinous crimes!
She is not to be pardoned.
What about the evidence?
You're just making false accusations.
Do you have any evidence to prove what you just said?
There's definitely evidence of it!
Second Sister.
Do you still remember me?
Feng Wu?
Didn't you die a long time ago?
Do you want me to prove Crown Prince Wu Ji's accusations right
or do you want me to list out even more of the crimes you've committed?
You were sent to assassinate him!
But he's standing right in front of you now.
Why aren't you making a move?
Do you want him to kill you?
Shut up!
You threatened me into taking lives for you.
You forced me to abandon my conscience.
My hands are filthy with sins and I'm not to be pardoned!
But today...
I've found my daughter.
We can put an end to all of this now!
Meng Shuo...
Meng Shuo, listen.
When Feng Qi died, she was just like... a useless ant!
She fell without a sound!
I was the one who took the throne.
I even held onto you!
I'm the true winner here, Meng Shuo!
Meng Shuo...
You want to reunite with your daughter...
But you'll have to see whether or not I'll agree to it!
Isn't it just death that awaits me?
If you want my life, by all means, take it!
Father...
Father!
Back then, she threatened me into obeying her orders to take lives
by using some unknown method to link both of our lives together
to make an oath.
From that day, as long as I shall live...
I can't go against her will.
I want you to...
kill her.
- Father! - This originated from Qiongcang!
It pins you to the oath. If you break it
the oath backfires, endangering your life!
I know that!
Father, if it's an oath, there must be a way to break it!
Fu Yao and I will help you.
The three of us should be able to break it together.
But it's likely that you'll lose all your skills.
There must be another way, Father!
Don't bother... Don't worry about it.
Today...
I found out the truth.
I found you.
I'm content.
My child...
I'd rather die than be manipulated by our enemy
like the living dead!
- You mustn't! - Father, don't!
Meng Shuo!
Is a dead woman worth all this?
She has always remained in my heart!
Always!
It seems...
I've lost.
The seven stars of the Big Dipper!
The second star is Tian Xuan!
The fifth is Yu Heng!
Yu Heng, known as the Lianzhen Star, turns its own force to trap itself.
Since the ancient times...
the Lianzhen Star has always been the hardest to identify.
I...
Just now, I...
I believed you.
Meng Shuo...
[Illusion Hall]
Did you see it?
The day the Phoenix of Flames soars is the day the demonic fire reignites!
Very soon...
the five kingdoms shall soon be yours again!
All of them...
They shall become the worshippers and servants of Di Fei Tian!
Fu Yao finally found her father.
She's even a princess!
What exactly is that?
I have to explain Purple Phoenix River to you first.
It's said that there's an auspicious Phoenix of Flames guarding it.
It suppresses a malicious force from the ancient firmament.
A malicious force?
It can't be some man-eating monster, can it?
Have you heard of the Lord of Hellfire, Di Fei Tian?
Are you talking about that sinner who brought chaos upon Qiongcang
thousands of years ago?
My grandfather told me about it when I was little.
He said that the Battle of Qiongcang brought chaos to mortals.
The people suffered in the war. But in the end, the good prevailed.
Everyone joined forces to annihilate the Lord of Hellfire
so the five kingdoms were founded. Right?
Important details were taken out of those politically correct stories.
Di Fei Tian's power of hellfire raged and burned.
He had countless men in his rebel army.
The five kingdoms were no match for him then.
How did the battle turn to our advantage?
The hellfire that could wipe out the entire mortal world can return
to ruin the five kingdoms as long as its consciousness remained
even if its physical form was abolished.
Is it that powerful?
Back then, in order to wipe out every bit of its consciousness
Chang Qing Zi divided its consciousness into two halves.
Then he used all his power to seal the halves.
He divided it into two?
Doesn't that mean that the consciousness still remains?
Isn't there a way to destroy it, once and for all?
There isn't.
Nothing in this world can annihilate consciousness.
But as long as we can keep the halves from reuniting
Di Fei Tian won't have a chance to harm the mortal world.
You're right.
That's true.
If you place the two halves of his consciousness on opposite ends
of the world, it should be fine as long as they never meet, right?
That's why Chang Qing Zi had them sealed in Qiongcang's Mountain of Nothingness
and Xuanji Kingdom's Purple Phoenix River.
One is the highest peak in the five kingdoms
and the other is the lowest.
Are you saying that the phoenix of Purple Phoenix River
is actually guarding Di Fei Tian's consciousness?
One half of it.
In the past, the phoenix returned to Purple Phoenix River very soon.
As long as the consciousness remains, none of us can let out guards down.
But this time...
What about this time?
The abnormalities in Purple Phoenix River haven't ceased, and have even worsened.
But Fu Yao is the true heir of Xuanji who can suppress the phoenix.
It shouldn't have anything to do with her, right?
I'm worried that the abnormalities are appearing
because Di Fei Tian's consciousness can't be contained for long.
I'm afraid the other half in the Mountain of Nothingness is stirring.
Your Highness, I don't think you have to worry so much.
Give it a thought.
There are so many masters in the Sacred Land of Qiongcang
and they're all so powerful.
Even if the consciousness gets out, they can suppress it, can't they?
Sure. I'll go take a look at Fu Yao then.
All right.
When I was a child...
there was one thing I already understood.
A child who isn't loved can't cry, yell out in pain...
or even be upset.
Because she has no right to do so.
She has no way out of it either.
Tears only bring more trouble.
There's so much injustice in this world.
People are ranked since birth.
Yet I was the lowest of them all.
I can complain about it and carry hatred in my heart.
But I can't give in.
I clenched my teeth and told myself to be stronger.
I wanted to become stronger than all of them.
Only then could I survive.
After all this time...
I'm really exhausted.
I'm so tired.
You have me by your side now.
No one can take anything from you now that I'm here by your side.
No one can bully you again.
Including me.
Whether you cry or smile...
I'll always be by your side.
I'll be with you till the end.
Tell me...
If my father hadn't led the army out to sea back then...
and Feng Xuan hadn't killed my mother...
If Fo Lian hadn't exposed my existence
and I'd left Xuanji Kingdom with you...
would everything be different now?
It's all my fault.
I should've found you sooner.
I failed to protect you.
I came here too late... and left too soon.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
That year...
You were the one who made me believe there's still happiness in the world.
You gave me the hope to go on.
Now... you're the one who made me trust people again.
You made me believe that the gods haven't forsaken me.
I used to complain... why is life so insufferable and unfair?
But now, I'm grateful that I endured those hardships.
It made me who I am today.
So I'd get to meet you.
So all the hardships I suffered were worth it.
I'm willing to spend this lifetime with you and grow old together.
Whenever and wherever...
Heaven and Earth...
Never will I leave you.
Are you really going to leave?
I'm just going to look for a quiet place to worship Buddha and pray.
We'll meet again in the future.
I'm a treacherous man, tainted by the blood of others.
If I can beg Buddha for a chance to redeem my sins
it would be the greatest blessing of my life.
Can't you stay for just a few more days?
As long as we keep each other in our hearts
what's the difference between one day and a thousand days?
My child... bear this in mind.
No matter how hard the future may be, hardships will always come to an end.
As long as you can be with the one who truly loves you...
nothing can defeat you, no matter how great the obstacle.
Having found your true love... you must cherish him well.
You mustn't let him down.
Don't be like me.
When I returned that year, I missed out on your mother.
I can only live in guilt all my life.
"There's fragrance in the north wind at night."
"There's a layer of frost early in the morning."
"The Yu Heng star indicates the arrival of winter."
"The cluster of stars, how bright they are!"
This is...
That's from a letter she wrote to me back then.
How did you know about it?
Mother always kept that letter.
Auntie Wan later gave it to me.
When Wu Ji visited the palace then, he taught me to read the characters.
Mother kept the letter so that one day, when I meet you, I could tell you...
Men should put the affairs of the nation first.
She never blamed you.
Nor did she hate you.
Treat her well.
Father...
For your father, this palace is just a place of sorrow and guilt.
He has his own wishes.
He has decided on what to give up, and what he can't bear to part with.
Maybe leaving... is what's best for him.
Slow down.
Be careful not to trip and fall.
Fifth Brother.
This is for you.
Don't embroider these.
Do you not like it?
Or do you think that I don't embroider very well?
Or is the pattern not nice enough?
I'll take it back then--
It's not that I don't think it's nice.
I like it.
Look.
You're not used to doing needlework.
Why make yourself do it because of me?
Look at your hands.
Look how badly they're pricked.
Does it hurt?
It doesn't.
Don't do embroidery anymore.
I'll do as you say.
My King!
There's a letter from Xuanji Kingdom.
Fu Yao has discovered her true identity.
She will soon succeed the throne in Xuanji Kingdom.
Here, this is your medicine.
Thank you.
- Pick up your medicine. - Yes, thank you.
Mentor, we're out of gastrodia.
Use the same quantity of Cat's Claw instead.
Or check to see if there's any goral horn left.
Sure.
Take this medicine for a few days.
[Sharp-tongued doctor, I discovered my identity in Xuanji.]
[I've invited Zhan Bei Ye and Ya Lan Zhu to my coronation.]
[Hope to see you as well. Fu Yao.]
Thank you, Divine Physician and Young Divine Physician.
Without you two
our whole village would have been wiped out by this plague.
Thank you, our saviors.
Yun.
I have to leave for a while and go to Xuanji.
When are you leaving?
When will you return?
I have to set out right away.
As for when I'll return, I'm not sure yet.
Now that your recurring illness is no longer that serious...
you'll be fine without the Dragonscale Armor.
Just be careful not to catch a cold.
After I leave... you can leave here and go anywhere you wish.
There's no place in particular that I'd like to visit.
I have nowhere to go either.
It's quite nice to stay here.
This place...
It's really in the middle of nowhere.
If you stay here for too long, life will be too plain for you.
But they need me.
Since I was a child, I've always been cared for.
I never thought that I'd be the one to care for others one day.
Only after I met them...
Goodbye!
do I find myself useful.
There are still a lot of medicinal herbs to be collected
and half of the villagers need to be cured.
So... I'd like to stay.
It's getting late.
You should head back in first.
I...
The shrimp in the river should be quite plump by the time you return.
I--
Sure.
Red Brocade Shrimp.
When I return, I'll eat as many as you make.
The coronation ceremony begins!
In the best of years and the most auspicious of months
we complete your coronation and see that uphold your virtues.
Guard your demeanor reverently and preserve your virtues.
May your years last long and may Heaven shine upon you.
Take unto thee the beauty of Heaven, lest you forget in your lifetime...
I shall bear Uncle's words in mind always.
Endow the queen with her scepter!
By the mandate and grace of Heaven
as Crown Prince of the Imperial City of Tianquan
I hereby endow you with the divine scepter.
You are henceforth the Queen of Xuanji Kingdom.
You shall care for the five kingdoms and bring blessings to the people.
Thank you, Crown Prince Wu Ji.
The Queen of Xuanji Kingdom wouldn't dare to neglect the five kingdoms.
Tianquan Kingdom is willing to establish
an eternal friendship with Xuanji Kingdom.
How does that sound?
Allow me to think it over.
Announce the decree!
As decreed, Xuanji Kingdom has been established for thousands of years.
The queen reigns over the land and our people rejoice in peace.
Today, a descendant of the royal Feng family is chosen by the gods.
Her virtue reaches the sky and all corners of the world.
We hereby announce the queen's legitimacy.
The queen takes the throne.
Xuanji Kingdom shall be blessed with a prosperous reign.
Heaven and Earth, blessings shall be bestowed!
Respect this decree!
Heaven and Earth, blessings shall be bestowed!
Queen of Xuanji! Queen of Xuanji!
