I have already sworn that
I will stop thinking of you.
If I do it again
I will eat poorly
dress poorly
and become an ugly woman for the rest of my life.
Since you have already sworn such a horrible vow.
The only way to detoxify it is to
combat poison with poison.
Let go of me.
Let me go.
Bro. Zhu
you've promised me that
you won't kill Junior Long.
But you have also promised me that
you'll marry me willingly.
You'll treat me with all your heart.
Sis. Huan
you shouldn't have come back
after you left yesterday evening.
You shouldn't give me hope
and then take it away immediately.
You shouldn't turn my happiest moment
to my most shameful and hurtful moment.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Bro. Zhu.
I don't know why this would happen.
As long as you don't kill him
I'll go back with you right now to finish the wedding.
She can't go with you.
If she marries you
that's
heartless to me
unfaithful to you
and harsh on herself.
Xuanye
Why do you put her in a dilemma?
Are you brave enough?
Have you got the guts
to have a duel with me?
I am far from being your equal
when it comes to Kung Fu.
But neither of us
is an ordinary rash person.
Kung Fu shouldn't be the way to decide this.
If we are fight for the world
that's true Kung Fu shouldn't be the way.
But now
we are fighting for a woman.
In this way
you and I are just
normal men.
Xuanye Aisin Gioro, draw your sword.
I will only use my bare hands to fight you.
I'll stand here without moving a single step.
If you can make me move one step,
you win.
The wedding between Yihuan and I will be canceled.
You can take her away.
If you lose
I will spare you this time, let you go.
I'll take Yihuan back to finish our wedding.
If you are a man
take this challenge.
Or run back to your Forbidden City
being your majestic-looking emperor.
But after that
you won't ever have the qualification
as a normal man
to take Yihuan from me.
Okay
I accept your challenge.
I will fight with you.
Have you lost your mind?
You can't win Bro. Zhu.
You should go!
Huan'er
the only identity I can have is an emperor
since I was eight.
But this time
I want to go with my heart
being an ordinary man.
I will fight Zhu Cixuan
fair and square.
I won't regret it
even if I lose.
Bro. Zhu
the master said that
you shouldn't fight with people for several days.
Should I stand by
since Kangxi already accepted my challenge?
Sis. Huan
this is a fight between two men.
It has nothing to do with you.
Bro. Zhu.
Xuanye
do it.
Junior Long.
Bro. Zhu.
Junior Long.
Stop.
Stop, both of you!
Xuanye
do you understand now?
Maybe you are better at
being an emperor than me.
But as a man
you can never compete with me.
So
you should admit your defeat.
I...
will never accept that.
Bro. Zhu
please don't kill Junior Long.
Bro. Zhu.
Junior Long
please don't hurt my Bro. Zhu.
Zhu Cixuan, admit your lose.
Bro. Zhu
wake up Bro. Zhu.
Bro. Zhu.
Wake up, wake up Bro. Zhu.
Bro. Zhu
Bro. Zhu.
Huan'er
he lost.
Come with me.
No!
Because I escaped from the wedding
he got his qi imbalanced while he was practicing his Kung Fu.
He violated the alliance oaths
by setting me free privately.
That's why he got sixty lashes.
Fighting you now
aggravated his injury.
If it's at a normal time
even ten of you
won't be able to defeat my Bro. Zhu.
Zhu Cixuan wanted to fight with me
even though he's heavily wounded.
A man acting on impulse
won't achieve something big.
What about you then?
You come here to see me alone
isn't that an action on impulse?
Huan'er
I'm not doing this out of consideration.
Come out now.
Your Majesty.
Turns out you already have it all arranged.
Huan'er
I want to be your man.
But I am also
the emperor of Qing Dynasty.
I can't act on impulse no matter when.
However, Zhu Cixuan
he was so heavily wounded
but still only payed attention
to you and I.
On his way here
he didn't notice the ambush in the woods.
What do you want to do then?
Do you want to kill Bro. Zhu and I?
Huan'er
I don't want to lie to you.
Between Zhu Cixuan and you
I have to take one.
If you don't come with me today
I'll have Zhu Cixuan back and put him in jail.
I can't guarantee his life
with the appearance of empress dowager.
But if you come back with me
I can leave him here.
Stay here or come with me
that depends on you.
This is not gambling at all
you are forcing me.
Yes, I am.
Because I can't lose.
I can't lose you.
I can't see you marry my biggest enemy
without doing anything!
Yihuan?
Big brother!
Big brother.
I should take you back first.
Come.
This is the signal flare sent by the masters.
No
I can't.
I can't take Big brother back.
Sis. Huan
Sis. Huan!
Are you awake, Big brother?
You are awake.
How do you feel Big brother?
Feel any better?
Qingcheng
where am I now?
Big brother
you've been in coma for three days.
I was so worried.
Did you fight with somebody before you passed out?
Have you forgotten what the master told you?
You can't get in any fights before your wound is healed
or you injury will never recover.
Where is Sis. Huan?
Sis. Huan isn't here now.
Masters are looking for you.
They even sent the signal flare
but I didn't take you back.
Because I suspect there might be spies
in our Pearl Valley.
That is why Kangxi acted so quickly
I don't want to know who the spy is.
I don't care about anything now.
I just want to know
where Sis. Huan went.
Big brother
could she go back with Kangxi?
Big brother
don't be so agitated.
Tell me
did she go back with Kangxi?
Okay, I will.
But you should stay calm.
I intended to leave you forever that day.
But I saw the Kongming Lantern in the sky
not too long after I left our place.
I suspected that it must be Kangxi trying to find Yihuan
so I followed it secretly.
Turned out, I saw
Yihuan.
Why?
Why would she go with Kangxi?
Why would she lie to me?
Why would she humiliate me this way?
Why?
Big brother.
Why?
Big brother.
Why?
You'll feel better
after you cry it all out.
Why?
Don't!
Junior Long
You've promised me that
you'll never kill them.
You can't go back on your words!
It's not me who want to kill them.
It's the spies.
They sold them to the empress dowager.
It's the empress dowager who wants to kill them.
I have no choice.
Execute them now!
No!
No
no
no.
Lady Attendant, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Just a bad dream.
Off you go now.
Yes.
Bro. Zhu
how do you feel now?
You must hate me very much
thinking that I went away with Kangxi
and left you there heartlessly.
Between Zhu Cixuan and you
I have to take one.
If you don't come with me today
I'll have Zhu Cixuan back and put him in jail.
I can't guarantee his life
with the appearance of empress dowager.
But if you come back with me
I can leave him here.
Stay here or come with me
that depends on you.
This is not gambling at all
you are forcing me.
Yes, I am.
Because I can't lose.
I can't lose you.
I can't see you marry my biggest enemy
without doing anything!
Bro. Zhu
I didn't fail to keep my promise.
The first reason why I came here is to save you.
The second, is to find out why Junior Long
knows about everything that happens
at our side.
Are there still spies in our Pearl Valley?
Can you forgive me?
Wonton!
What is he wearing?
How can he wear clothes like that?
Aren't those the clothes from the last dynasty?
That's rare.
Look at what he's wearing,
What are those clothes?
Wonton.
Hot wonton.
Look, one more person
who got drunk.
Waiter
more wine.
Sir
you've been drinking all night
are you sure you want more?
Do you have enough money left?
Even you look down on me.
You think I don't have enough money?
Is this enough?
Yes
enough, enough.
Sir
as long as you like our wine
you can drink as much as you can.
Go get the wine.
Today, we will
Look at that man, so bold
to wear the clothes of the last dynasty.
Yeah, look
those are clothes for a groom.
Let's have a sit, sit sit sit.
Well
do you think this man is a member of the rebel party?
If he really is
why would he dare to wear the last dynasty's clothes
and come out to a restaurant, showing everyone?
In my opinion, I think he's either an actor of some opera troupe
or a lunatic.
I agree, that makes sense.
But I don't think he looks like a lunatic.
Look at him, he's so sad.
Yeah, since he's wearing groom's clothes
why isn't he in his bridal chamber
but here?
Yeah, yeah, you are right.
I think it must be that
the bride thinks he's of no use
and kicked him out.
Let me tell you guys
maybe
the bride ran away for the one she loves.
Would that make this man a turtle?
Yeah, turtle
tortoise.
Fuck off.
What did he say?
Fuck off!
How dare you to tell us fuck off.
I want you to fuck off now.
I told you to fuck off!
Come, come, come.
A wise man knows when to retreat.
Let's go.
Go
go
go, go.
Go go go.
It's you.
Wine.
I want to drink.
Give me wine
give me wine.
Where's my wine?
Where is it?
Sis. Huan
you are back.
Big brother
wake up.
Sis. Huan
why do you call me Big brother?
Don't you prefer to call me
Bro. Zhu the most?
Okay
if you like that
I'll call you Bro. Zhu then.
Bro. Zhu
let's get married.
First, we should drink the nuptial cap
then finish the protocol.
Get married?
Okay.
But the masters are not here.
It's us getting married.
It doesn't matter if
the masters are here or not.
Okay.
Let's get married.
This day finally comes.
I'm so happy
so happy.
Me too
Bro. Zhu.
Qingcheng?
How could it be you?
It's me
of course it's me.
Big brother
I really do love you.
I am willing to be your bride.
I'm willing to marry you.
No
don't do this.
You can't.
Why? Why?
Big brother
stop thinking of Junior Sister.
She has already gone with Kangxi.
She only sees and thinks
of Kangxi, not you.
How can you be so stupid!
Stop
stop
stop!
No!
I want to wake you up from your dream.
Big brother
I can't stand by and see you torture yourself.
Can't you see that
Junior Sister
has always treated you as her biological brother?
The one who she really loves is not you
it's that emperor Kangxi.
Can't you tell how deeply
they love each other?
They will surely get married.
Maybe they are in their bridal chamber now, too.
Big brother
wake up.
No.
Sis. Huan won't lie to me.
She won't treat me this way.
Big brother
it is true.
I saw them leave together with my own eyes.
Stop torturing yourself.
The one who always loved you
was me, Qingcheng.
I've always secretly loved you for
so many years.
I understand you
I can read your thoughts.
Big brother
let me marry you
be your bride
be with you forever.
I will take care of you
and love you.
The emperor told me that
the reason why he let Zhu Cixuan and others go
is to win the popular support.
How did they end up with fighting each other?
Wouldn't he be in danger if
Zhu Cixuan wasn't heavily injured before?
You don't have to worry so much, Your Grace.
The emperor shouldn't be in danger.
I've arranged everything with absolute discretion.
If anything goes wrong
they'll rush out to protect the emperor no matter what.
Who gives you the courage to say this?
You didn't even come to tell me about such a serious thing.
How can you just let the emperor
do things
so recklessly.
Your Grace
you've wronged me.
The emperor wouldn't let me out of his sight
in case I gave anything away.
Besides
you know how the emperor is.
He isn't someone that I can persuade.
He wasn't like this before.
It's all because of that Yihuan Li.
He's bewitched by her.
Now, what I worry about the most is that
the emperor took this Yihuan Li
back here again.
Hmm
What should I do?
You
as the master of the six palaces
how could you be so useless?
Grandma
I've tried to persuade the emperor.
But every time he heard me talk about it
he just left straight away
without considering my dignity at all.
And never came back to my palace
since.
I
where should I go to persuade him.
Never mind
I've been too harsh to you
just now.
I can't blame this on you.
Ever since the emperor took over the reins
he got all the power in his hands.
But, when it come to this
I still have to be the one to set the standard.
Lady Liu.
I'm here.
Bring several people with you
take this former Attendant
to my palace.
Yes, Your Grace.
Your Grace
since you are going to see this Yihuan Li
I think I shouldn't be here anymore.
I'll see myself out then.
If the emperor ever heard anything
he'll blame me for being loose-tongued.
Off you go then
if anything is going to happen afterwards
come and let me know in time.
Yes, Your Grace.
The emperor can't
lack people like you
who is so loyal but also not afraid to
correct his mistakes.
Yes, yes Your Grace.
Thank you, Your Grace.
I'll see myself off then.
I'll see myself off.
This Yihuan Li is quite bold to
come back.
She really takes this Forbidden City as a place
that she can come and go
freely?
Lady Attendant
the empress dowager
summons you to the Palace of Benevolent Peace.
That old woman must want to kill me
to ask me to go to her palace.
I can't go there foolishly to give away my life.
Okay
I want to pay my respect to her anyway.
Lady Attendant
are you okay?
Oh no, Lady Attendant has a stomachache.
Call the imperial doctor now.
Lady Attendant
what a coincidence
that you have a stomachache now.
The moment empress dowager summoned you
you are unwell.
Lady Liu
I don't know how,
suddenly
my stomach
really hurts.
You
should stop playing tricks in front of me.
Don't forget
how many tricks you tried to play
when you entered the emperor's palace in the beginning?
Somehow
you are repeating the same tactic again.
I won't fall for that anymore.
Both of you, listen
even if she's really sick today
she will still go to the Palace of Benevolent Peace.
Even if she has to be lifted there.
Yes.
So bold!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Wish you good luck, Your Majesty.
Summon the imperial doctor.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Lady Liu
you are quite bold
you even dare to be so rude to the Lady Attendant.
It's my fault, it's my fault.
It's the empress dowager
who wanted to summon Lady Attendant to the Palace of Benevolent Peace.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
Fine
go back and tell the empress dowager that
the Lady Attendant is ill.
After she gets better
I will go with her to pay our respect
to the empress dowager.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Are you okay
my husband?
Husband?
Don't call me husband.
Don't.
I'm begging you, please don't call me that.
We are married.
If I don't call you husband, what should I call you?
And you should call me your wife.
My head hurts.
Me head hurts so much.
Last night
was a dream.
Last night
was a dream.
Right?
No
it's not a dream.
It's all real.
We've finished our wedding etiquette
and entered the bridal chamber.
We are husband and wife now.
I can't believe I betrayed my Junior Sister
I have no right to love her anymore!
I have no right to love her anymore.
My husband, you didn't betray her.
She betrayed you first.
She escaped from your wedding
and left with Kangxi.
She brought you
the biggest humiliation for a man.
She is now Kangxi's woman.
She won't come back.
No
No.
Sis. Huan wouldn't lie to me.
She must have her reasons to go with Kangxi.
She won't marry Kangxi.
She won't do this to me.
Wake up, my husband.
She won't do this to me.
Look at the wound behind your back.
These are the lashes you took because of her.
Are you going to forget about your wounds even before they heal?
Are you going to forget that
she left you in coma in a desolate mountain area
then went away with Kangxi?
She went away to seek her love
didn't consider your feelings at all.
Stop talking
stop.
You should stop your self-deceiving.
Stop!
Stop now
stop.
You shouldn't call me husband
and I can't treat you as my wife.
I only have Sis. Huan in my heart
only her.
My heart doesn't have room for anyone else.
I'm not good enough to be your husband.
You still can't let her go
even after what she did to you.
You still can't let her go.
Yes.
No matter what she did to me
I just can't let her go.
I can't
I can't.
Since you can't let her go
then why did you accept me?
Why enter the bridal chamber with me?
Why did you give me hope and then take it away
and leave me in such a desperate situation?
Tell me!
I'm sorry, Qingcheng.
I just can't let her go.
I am a hollow body
to you now
a walking dead.
You won't be happy with me.
Also
I can't keep making mistakes.
Or, Sis. Huan's only choice is being with Kangxi.
That will hurt her for her whole life.
Sis. Huan
all you know is Sis. Huan.
No matter what she did to you
You can always forgive her.
What about me?
No matter how good I am to you
you won't accept me.
You always try to avoid me.
I have already given you my everything,
and then you told me
it's a mistake.
Have you ever considered my feelings?
Why would you do this to me?
Why?
Why do you treat me like this?
Qingcheng
I can't give you anything.
Maybe you should kill me.
Kill me now.
I don't want to live anyway.
It's so hard
to live like this.
I can't let godfather down
I can't let the people of Zhu Ming Alliance down.
I don't even have the right to die.
Please, I'm begging you.
Kill me.
it's a relief to me.
Kill me.
Please kill me.
Zhu Cixuan,
I didn't expect that
you could be so heartless
to me.
Are you really the same Big brother from back then?
That one who cares the most about me when I was young.
That kind
most considerate Big brother?
I thought if I marry you
then I can be with you forever.
Even if you don't love me
I won't care.
I just want to be with you
care about you
and take care of you for my whole life.
But to my biggest surprise
you told me that
you'd rather die
than be with me.
I'm sorry
Qingcheng.
Fine.
I, Xue Qingcheng,
swear to God today
I won't have any feelings for Zhu Cixuan
for the rest of my life.
If I break my oath
I will end up as this hair clasp.
When the heavy snow drowns the way.
When sweetness hasn't flooded bitterness.
You choose to hide in my memories and give me your wishes.
The only thing I can do is watching, watching the mist roll in.
When the heavy snow drowns the way.
When sweetness hasn't flooded bitterness.
I refuse to detoxify the love-poison inside.
You understand my helplessness but there's nothing you can do.
