Episode 45
Put them all inside.
Chacha!
Your Highness!
What are you doing?
Your Excellency.
Why are you here?
I want to live with you.
Anything wrong?
Live here?
What about at night?
Of course, we will sleep together
as husband and wife.
No!
Why not?
Why didn't you consult with me
on such an important matter?
I said no and I meant it!
Chacha!
You wait here!
Ask them to take Lord Xi Ze's stuff
to the east side room.
That's where he's going to stay in future.
But what His Excellency said makes sense!
I also think
a couple should live in the same room.
- This is... - Well said!
However,
she is reserved.
Chacha,
go get a new bed and put it beside hers.
We will sleep in the same room but on separate beds.
That will do, won't it?
Yes!
Yes for what? Cha...
Your Majesty,
how can you be so unreasonable!
Am I?
The door is open!
Didn't you say
you just liked the feeling of falling in love with me
in the dream?
Your Excellency!
Your Excellency, are you going to visit Her Highness?
I want to apologize to her.
Follow me please!
Your Excellency!
Your Excellency, look!
What a coincidence!
Lord Xi Ze just moved in Her Highness's bedroom.
It's not convenient now.
Please come some other day!
Why do you look extraordinarily beautiful today?
Are you not going back to the Qi Nan Palace?
Since Su Moye is there, I'm pretty assured.
I haven't seen him for ages.
How is he now?
You worried about me
and Shen Ye.
Now you're even worried about Su Moye.
Aren't you afraid that I'll become jea...
Fine! Fine!
I'll stop it!
The water lily in the yard looks pretty good today.
Would you come with me to enjoy it, honey?
Don't call me that!
Anything wrong?
Honey!
Honey! Honey! Honey!
Enough of that!
OK. I'll go with you!
Let's go!
I've never seen such exuberant lotuses
in the Sky Kingdom or Qingqiu.
How about asking Chacha
to pick some for us?
No need to bother her!
Which one do you like?
That one!
You are so...
Wow! Water lily can be enjoyed like this?
This is awesome!
You abused your magic power again.
Do you like it?
The little fish are adorable!
Lord Shen Ye.
I'm here to apologize to Your Highness Aranya.
I'm sorry that
I offended you verbally
because I drank too much the other day.
Never mind!
He came to you so late in the night.
He is really careless about avoiding any suspicion.
When you were painting
with Ji Heng in the room so late in the night,
did I say anything
while I curled up in the doorway?
I'm so sleepy.
I'm going to sleep now!
Please enjoy the fish yourself.
Why are there so many changes in it?
Why is Xi Ze in the same room with her?
If she's not Aranya,
who on earth is she?
Are you going out?
I've stayed here for so many days.
I have to get back to the palace to check
how the magic instrument is now.
What magic instrument are you making?
One that can help us break this dream.
Will it really help?
You'll see when it's finished.
Fine!
What's in your hand?
It smells so good.
I made this soup for you in my spare time.
Delicious!
So delicious!
Best delicacy in this world!
You are perfunctory. And you didn't even try it.
Take it after you finish the magic instrument.
This soup is so good.
I cherish it.
Then finish it now before you leave.
I will!
Try it!
It must be good!
Here you are!
How is it?
Your Majesty,
you're finally back!
It's smooth
in general.
Now the base is done.
Thank you for staying here alone
to finish the mirror!
Not at all!
I shall try my best to fulfill your order.
Go back for a rest.
Leave the rest to me.
No, Your Majesty!
I will stay here with you.
The making of a magic instrument allows no carelessness.
Take a rest for some days and then come back.
What's wrong with you?
Are you still the most elegant
Second Prince Su of the West Sea?
Mr. Su,
did you break into any girl's room
last night
and get beaten out by her dad?
I've been making the magic instrument for His Majesty
day and night all these days.
What is this magic instrument
that has tortured you so badly?
It's nothing difficult
but just a bit tiring for me
to work on it alone.
I got it.
His Majesty has lived in my residence in the past few days.
He must have entrusted all the work to you,
hasn't he?
It's fine that you know it!
You know,
you let Chacha send
the so-called sugar foxes
at the most critical moment.
His Majesty left all the remaining work to me
without saying a word
as soon as he got that damn thing
and went straight off the mountain.
I didn't mean to blame you for it,
but you have to understand
that I become like this
all because I've been working around the clock
for seven to eight days,
which greatly depleted my magic power.
I can still stand here now
talking to you
because I've got a strong life.
Alright!
His Majesty is kind-hearted.
When he finishes the magic instrument,
he will surely repay you.
Repay me?
How?
Let me see!
Firstly,
you aren't short of jewelries.
Secondly, you don't like beauties.
I guess His Majesty will choose
a more friendly
and more precious way to repay you.
For example,
he may prepare a table of dishes in person
to entertain you.
He will cook for me in person?
Oh no!
If he can't think of repaying me,
do not remind him of it, alright?
Fine! Fine! Fine!
Let's keep it aside for now.
I came back today
to ask you something.
How is Shen Ye now?
Is there anything inappropriate
these days?
He didn't offend me
which should be considered appropriate.
Originally, he won't offend you in the first place.
That's how he treated Aranya before
and that's how he should treat you now.
However, he was drunk the other day
and talked to me deliriously.
Deliriously?
What did he say?
He said to me that...
we could have any type of relationship,
such as passerby,
personal enemy,
sworn enemy,
but just not possible for that.
Then he fell asleep as he talked.
I didn't get the answer from him.
He is supposed to remember it
and abide by it throughout his life.
This would be a blessing for Aranya.
However,
I heard Shen Ye took away three seasons
after Aranya died.
He surely loved her very much.
Everything happens for a reason.
His love
didn't just come out of nothing
after Aranya passed away.
You told me about the story
between them last time.
And it was half finished.
Could you finish the other half today?
I don't know much
about the other half.
I could recall only two of them.
After that,
Aranya led
quite an idle life.
Apart from practicing calligraphy and going to the opera,
she also taught archery for the masters on leave.
She came across Wen Tian once in a while
and would bring her back
to dine together.
I remember
she once brought Wen Tian back.
Wen Tian meticulously asked her
if she could meet Shen Ye in the Mengchun Courtyard
as she wanted to ask Shen Ye for a few chess techniques.
Aranya was so unrestrained.
She must have approved it.
Yes!
Her tolerance was the best
and she was the most unrestrained
that I've seen in my life.
Wen Tian came in and went out of the Mengchun Courtyard very often since then
to play chess with Shen Ye.
It seemed that Wen Tian fell in love with Shen Ye,
while Shen Ye
also admired her.
Soon they lived in peace with each other,
but an accident happened right after that.
What was it?
It was related to Lord Xi Ze.
Your Highness!
Don't stand on ceremony.
The chief steward said
you needed a secret material for the sword.
It is the stone from the Qi Nan Mountain.
They didn't get the stone you need,
so you have to pick them in person.
I'll visit Xi Ze tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Shall we go together?
Do you consider me as a bird
caged here and invite me out
out of mercy?
If you say so,
so be it!
Nobody is allowed to enter the Qi Nan Mountain without His Majesty's consent,
but I'd love to have a look.
Could I come with you by then?
Sure you will go with me.
Not bad!
Wen Tian should come along,
in case we end up fighting with each other.
Let's go!
Your Highness, off we go for quarrying.
Sure!
There you came so quickly
and you have even brought me the cakes.
I heard you captured a Quanyin Beast.
Yes!
So I wrote you a letter
to ask you to come here to practice martial arts.
However, the Quanyin beast is very dangerous.
So
where is it now?
Follow me!
This Quanyin beast has been a disaster over the years.
I captured it with great efforts.
Among all the beasts,
it is the most agile.
It has no sense of physical pain,
which makes it most suitable for practicing martial arts.
If you could shoot it successfully,
there would be nothing you can't shoot in the Fanyin Valley.
I'd love to have a try.
You can't shoot it by aiming at it.
What you shot before were all slower than your arrows.
But the Quanyin beast
is always a few times faster than your arrow.
You'd better calculate the speed of your arrow
and that of its movement
to decide the deviation angle that you need to consider while aiming.
Aranya, it's time for you to come out.
Not being able to shoot it in a short time is quite normal.
Don't get yourself swallowed by it because of fatigue.
Give me fifteen minutes.
I'll come out if I can't shoot it successfully.
Aranya!
Shen Ye.
You're more composed now in face of battles.
The Quanyin Beast is extremely fierce.
Why do you let Aranya
fight against it, master?
She shot it, didn't she?
Where were you when she was in danger?
She is your wife!
I was having cakes
and wasn't paying much attention.
Besides,
we just have a paper of marriage but we are actually not a couple?
Neither me nor Aranya thought about it that way.
And you lent her a hand just now, right?
Wouldn't it be unnecessary
for me to have a hand in it?
If I hadn't helped her immediately,
her arm would have been bitten off by the Quanyin Beast.
It's alright
as she is safe now.
Take her off for some rest.
I'm going to prepare some food.
Don't you think my blood is dirty?
Why would you allow it to smudge your hand?
Behave yourself!
You have fallen in love with me, Shen Ye!
You fall in love with me!
Shen Ye!
Stay still!
I'm having a headache!
Give me a smile!
How presumptuous!
I guess nobody ever teased you
by pinching your chin like I did.
As Aranya was in danger in the Quanyin Beast's stone formation,
for the first time Shen Ye
revealed his affection to Aranya.
While you were narrating the first half,
I was really worried
whether Shen Ye really liked Aranya.
Now it came to the latter half,
I think
it's a pretty good ending.
It's not the ending yet.
A lot of things happened afterwards.
This was the only thing which could be considered good.
Well,
were Xi Ze and Aranya a couple at the time?
Yes!
But Lord Xi Ze wasn't so interested in love affairs.
The marriage was meaningless
to him.
Then why wouldn't Lord Xi Ze
let Aranya and Shen Ye be together?
Lord Xi Ze never proposed to divorce
over all those years
because he took pity on Aranya
for her identity as the princess.
She would lead a better life anyhow
in the name of his wife.
Besides,
even if they got divorced,
Shen Ye and Aranya
couldn't be together publicly.
In that sense,
Lord Xi Ze was really
a caring person of great loyalty.
What happened next?
What happened to Shen Ye and Aranya in the end?
After the day on the Qi Nan Mountain,
Shen Ye was trapped in Aranya's residence for another two years.
But I have no idea about
what happened to them.
The West Sea happened to be in trouble,
so I had to get back.
I don't think it was a big deal.
You just didn't want to stay in the Fanyin Valley
and see Aranya and Shen Ye
be together every day.
You have seen that?
You can't forget about Aranya's death
and you sound very caring
when speaking of her affairs.
Moye,
I'm not an idiot.
Aranya and Shen Ye
confessed to each other at the time.
Even if you had any feelings for Aranya,
you couldn't say anything
or do anything.
I just didn't expect
so many things happened afterwards.
What happened after that?
Two years later,
His Majesty Xiangli Que passed away because of illness.
Prince Xiangli He took the throne.
However,
in less than seven days,
the neighboring night owl clan
initiated attacks to them with the reason that
the inseparable king bird clan connived with its people to hunt cross border.
Xiangli He led his soldiers to defend
and stopped the night owl clan by the Sixing River.
Xiangli He died in the battle
on August 17th.
Xiangli He didn't have any heir.
According to the succeeding sequence,
Aranya should take it over
as Junuo had been deprived of her titles at the time.
However, on August 19th,
Junuo in exile was taken back to succeed to the throne.
The next day,
Aranya hanged herself.
Hanged herself?
How was that possible?
I didn't know the details in it.
When I came back to the Fanyin Valley again,
many years had gone by.
Aranya's primordial spirit
had dissipated.
The royals claimed that she hanged herself.
Didn't anyone give you a reason
why she hanged herself?
I also heard
ever since Aranya passed away,
Junuo listed her name
as a taboo.
Do you know why?
It's true.
And I heard a kind of saying
that His Majesty was poisoned by Aranya
rather than dying of illness.
Do you believe it?
Why would Aranya poison His Majesty?
Even if it was true,
why wasn't she convicted
above board?
As an outsider,
you even have found out a lot of oddity in it,
haven't you?
But,
to the inseparable king bird clan,
hanging is indeed a good way
to dissipate one's primordial spirit.
That's why they dared to cheat me with it.
How about Shen Ye?
Shen Ye?
After the death of His Majesty,
he was taken back to the Qi Nan Palace again.
He didn't give a hand
while Aranya got arrested.
Instead, he submitted a memorial,
in which he pleaded to
hand over Aranya's case to the palace,
claiming that if Aranya committed a serious crime,
she should be reasonably executed by the palace.
That was impossible!
Didn't Shen Ye have feelings for Aranya?
Obviously, Shen Ye
should go to save Aranya against all odds.
Judging from that,
he was not sincere to Aranya.
I'm afraid his real purpose was to get back to the Qi Nan Palace.
Aranya's sincerity to Shen Ye
ended in vain after all.
It didn't make sense.
Didn't you say
Shen Ye lived in Aranya's residence for two more years?
It's easy to cheat a person for some time,
but not possible
for such a long time.
Do you think he could do that
given his personality?
If he really wanted to,
there was a chance.
But anyway,
Shen Ye didn't save Aranya.
On the contrary, he hit her when she was down.
That's outrageous
and so disappointing!
Rumor has it that
Aranya hanged herself
on the day after
Shen Ye submitted the memorial.
Your Excellency!
Come in!
Eh...
Your Excellency, Her Majesty will arrive soon.
OK!
You go and inform Aranya of it!
Her Majesty said
she was coming to check out
Your Excellency's progress of sword forging.
How come?
It should have happened after half a year.
What did you say?
Nothing!
Guide Her Majesty to the sword forging room.
I'll be waiting there.
Yes!
Archmage,
how is it going with the sword?
I guessed Your Majesty came here
not just to check out
on the progress.
Surely nothing can be held back
from your eyes.
I haven't thanked you in person
when you saved Junuo
from the Lingshu Stage.
You don't need to thank me.
I knew
you did it not because
I am your auntie,
but that Junuo is the only offspring
from late emperor!
That's why you saved her.
Now that you knew it,
it becomes less necessary for you to thank me.
It's getting late. Please go back, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Rise!
What do you want to know?
Who on earth is Aranya?
Why would she create this dream?
What is her purpose?
Why couldn't even the Emperor Dong Hua break it?
Aranya is my younger sister.
I remember she was soft and cute
when she was born.
I really liked her when I was young.
But...
she gradually became my nightmare.
Was she anybody bad?
No!
She was the one I'm envious of.
She lived carefreely
and died with vitality.
It was only because
she stood in my way to succeed to the throne!
Our mother thought of ways
to twist our destinies.
In the end,
we all got our retribution.
The Dream of Aranya is the retribution
for the inseparable king bird clan.
Retribution?
Jielu, you have never fallen in love,
so you won't understand the bitterness in it
or what one could sacrifice
for their love.
It all should have ended
in our generation.
But someone unexpectedly
sacrificed his lifetime of cultivation for Aranya.
I didn't get the love in my heart.
Neither did Aranya
nor did that man!
We searched back and forth for a whole life,
and ended up living in the dream.
Your Majesty, I don't understand it.
You don't need to.
In fact, the real Aranya
has dissipated long time ago.
What is left of her
is just our obsessiveness.
This man's cultivation is nowhere near
that of Emperor Dong Hua.
Emperor Dong Hua stayed in the dream
for the sake of the girl in there.
When the time comes,
nobody can stop him.
Spread my word now!
Summon your brother back!
My brother...
He also likes the girl?
How does he dare to compete against Emperor Dong Hua?
He just takes Xiaojiu as a real friend
and worries about her safety.
Kid,
I really hope
the tragedy of the inseparable king bird clan
can be ended in our generation.
Your generation can have the happiness you want
and don't ruin the clan's future
for illusioned love.
I didn't make it.
Neither did Aranya.
Hope you can make it.
Your Majesty!
Off you go!
Summon your brother back!
Yes!
Your Majesty,
what happened to your mother in the end?
Did she regret?
Mother always left the best to me.
But she never knew
what I really wanted.
After knowing
the life-and-death romance of Aranya,
I decided to marry
an ordinary man.
We joined hands
to imprison my mother in the palace.
Right at the 20th year of her imprisonment,
she became mad.
Seldom did she speak.
Most of the time, she spoke of Aranya.
Now when I look back
after knowing all the truth,
I just think we were quite pathetic
as we were all manipulated
in the palace over those years.
I was pathetically in love.
Aranya was pathetically out of love.
But that man was still the most pathetic
as he loved Aranya so much
and did so much to stay with her.
In the end,
they were forever torn apart.
Do you regret, mother?
Emperor Dong Hua can surely
end the ward created by Shen Ye in the dream.
When he comes out,
the Fanyin Valley will come back to normal by itself.
The tragedy you created
can finally be brought to an end.
Junuo really said that
His Majesty was waiting for a chance?
I don't dare to cheat Your Highness.
There is less likely to be any issues in that case.
Take her back!
I'll stay here.
I will summon you if I need.
Yes!
The smart work and the wise worry.
When you act helplessly,
you'll be free from the burden of the worldly affairs.
You know I like to live freely,
but you left me here to keep up the situation.
Dong Hua, if you can feel it,
just stop indulging yourself in the romance.
Get out of the dream now, please!
