"Ashes of Love"
EPISODE 28
Well said!
Right at that moment,
the leader of the enemy came to the front of King Yi.
They both held long swords and rushed at each other.
Wrong.
Yes. Back then, King Yi
was really trapped
and besieged by the enemy,
being in a very dangerous situation.
However, King Yi showed no fear on his face
but upheld his sword and rushed towards the enemy
to defeat them soundly.
King Yi escaped from the siege at last.
As the saying goes,
destroy the leader and the gang will collapse.
King Yi stretched out his sword
and beat away the long spear in the enemy leader's hands.
Before enemy leader realized it,
King Yi had placed his sword
around his neck.
Great! Great! Great!
Lady,
are you the story teller?
You want to replace my job?
I just feel that
what you said was not the truth,
so I said something.
I'm sorry. You go on. Go on.
Sorry. Please go on. Go on.
Go. Go.
Let's go. Let's go.
Jinmi,
how come you know a lot about King Yi?
Well, when I acted with him a few days ago,
I heard Qintong telling these stories on the battlefield.
Then I remembered them.
How about later? What happened after you were besieged by them?
Water.
Your Majesty, I have something to report.
You can leave.
Your Majesty, you haven't told me the end of the story.
Our play of pretending sickness won't end in a day.
You can come here tomorrow. It's not urgent.
It's to be continued.
All right. I'm leaving now.
CALM GREENERY AND QUIET SPRING
Saint Girl, you are finally back.
Please go to see His Majesty with me now.
His Majesty? What's wrong with him?
You'll find out when you go to see him.
Please.
His Majesty invites Saint Girl only.
PEACE REIGNS OVER THE LAND
Your Majesty, what happened?
Come take a seat.
Sit here.
You like to make Phoenix Lanterns, right?
We can make one today.
But I don't know how to make it.
I know. You can help me.
-Are you okay? -I'm fine.
CLEAR RIVER AND CALM SEA
BEIYUAN VILLA
Your Majesty, I hinder you.
You are right about that.
But it doesn't look so bad.
This is the Phoenix Lantern we made together.
Can I keep it?
Sure.
Don't give me such an ugly lantern.
I won't give you this lantern.
But, follow me.
♫ As the wind breezes by, ♫
♫ Heaven and Earth are separated to a million miles ♫
♫ So, what can we do? ♫
♫ As the moonlight has linked our feelings ♫
♫ Write a letter that begins with our first encounter ♫

These Phoenix Lanterns are all the gifts for you.
Do you like them?

They were made by me when I first learned how to make it.
I wanted to throw these ugly lanterns away.
You made all of them?

No. Jinmi, sober up.
He is King Yi and you are Saint Girl of the Saint Doctors' Family.
How can you have love for him?
Why is his smile so charming?
I must be too nervous recently,
so I have such wild thoughts.
I'll recover after taking a Mind Relief Pill.
♫ In the love letter, I found the place ♫

♫ In the moonlight ♫
Jinmi.
Your Majesty.
I'm a little tired. Please forgive me for leaving now.
I miss such a good chance again.
Should I stop her?
I think
you should stop her.
Send these lanterns to her palace.
Your Highness,
I learned that His Majesty personally made a yard of Phoenix Lanterns
for...
For what?
For that Saint Girl.
What? Her?
Unexpectedly, I belittled her.
Okay. You can leave.
Yes.
In this world,
no one can steal my cousin away.
You!
Princess Suihe,
as ordered by the Heavenly Empress,
I've come to restore your memory.
Sorry to offend you.
Jinmi,
you even compete with me
for Xufeng in the mortal world.
Sorry to offend you just now.
How come Jinmi is still alive?
My fault.
I lost the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow.
Without the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow,
you should try to perish her as well.
She can't be with Xufeng. Got it?
Yes.
Dong Ruixi is dead.
Duke, you can rest assured.
He won't cause any threat to you.
Is there any trace left behind?
Although Minister Fu doubts it,
he can't find any proof.
He has confirmed that Dong Ruixi committed suicide to avoid punishment.
Dad. I want to talk with you.
-You can leave now. -Yes.
Dad. Now Xufeng...
is healthy.
My marriage with him should be on the agenda.
-Suihe. -Dad.
I know what you want.
But after the Meeting of Commanding Officers,
it will be hard to take him down from the throne.
But if you marry me to him,
later, our son
will also call you grandpa.
You will still be powerful,
with supreme authority.
Since Suihe insists on this,
I can agree with her.
Now King Yi and I are irreconcilable.
If she really can marry Xufeng,
I can keep my power.
But if Xufeng refuses to marry her,
I can launch the uprising later.
Dad.
You win.
Okay.
I will ask them to send memorials in a few days
to urge Xufeng to get married,
to realize your love dream.
You are the nicest to me.
I grounded you in your room a few days ago,
have you forgiven me?
You can't ground me again.
Okay. I promise.
I promise.
BEIYUAN VILLA
They wanted to take me down from the throne yesterday,
but now they hand in memorials one by one,
to remind me of my marriage with Suihe,
for the sake of my inheritor.
Duke Nanping
always has ways to irritate me.
I think
what these ministers say seems right.
Your Majesty has reached the marriage-age and should get married indeed.
They don't know my thoughts,
but you don't know me either?
But I heard from the elders that
if a man is not close to women for long,
-he will easily... -What?
He will easily...
get irritated like you.
Qintong,
you worry more and more recently.
THE MEMORIAL TO THE THRONE OF THE SAINT GIRL OF THE SAINT DOCTOR CLANSMAN
Your Majesty,
Saint Girl sent a memorial just now.
RECENTLY YOUR MAJESTY HAS REGAINED HEALTH, SO I, AS THE SAINT GIRL
OF THE SAINT DOCTOR CLANSMAN, OUGHT TO GO BACK TO THEM
Should I
have her go?
It depends on your heart.
The Spirit-Vanishing Arrow actually hangs still.
Xufeng,
it seems that this is the heavenly fate.
You can leave.
What are you looking at?
Match-Maker.
How come you are here as well?
I worry about Xufeng and Jinmi,
so I came here specially to take a look.
Mr. Yanyou, why are you here?
I'm an old friend of Jinmi's.
So I came here to see whether she is okay.
You know what?
When Xufeng was leaving,
I tied him with Jinmi,
with a red rope.
Maybe these two
now have to be married.
How come Xufeng seems so worried?
Do you know what he worries about?
Duke Nanping in Huaiwu has a daughter
called Suihe.
She has a marriage agreement with Xufeng.
Now, his ministers hand in memorials
to advise him to marry her as soon as possible.
Suihe? Which Suihe?
That Princess of the Bird Family?
No, no, no.
I don't like Suihe.
She is not worthy of Xufeng.
What can I do?
I have an idea.
It may help Xufeng.
Tell me.
Great. Good idea.
Mr. Yanyou, you are really creative.
Qintong,
bring me several pots of osmanthus flower wine.
How come Your Majesty is in such an ecstatic mood?
After coming back from the battlefield, I have never seen you to drink wine.
It's hard to win this battle.
I need to brave myself with wine.
I'll go fetch some.
I sent the memorial
to beg to go back to Saint Doctors' Family days ago,
why hasn't Crow replied to me?
If I continue to stay here,
how can I manage my love?
I'd better leave,
to be far away from him,
missing him for the rest of my life.
Your Majesty, are you drunk?
Today, Duke Nanping's uniting all officers to hand in memorials,
urging me to marry Suihe.
Your Majesty has great civil and military skills,
and the Princess is noble and elegant.
It's a good thing. You will be a perfect match.
Good thing?
Your Majesty,
have you seen my memorial
begging to go back to Saint Doctors' Family?
You once promised me a wish.
I thought
you wanted a decree for pardon about not being buried alive with me.
That's the century-old family rule.
I...
dare not disobey it.
At the first sight of your eyes,
I felt you were very familiar.
Living with you every day,
I didn't want to leave even if I had recovered.
After I came back,
I planned to find you after pacifying the court.
Unexpectedly, Duke Nanping called you to Beiyuan Villa.
I was happy and frightened.
I was happy
because I got to see you sooner.
I was frightened
because I worried you would be in danger.
My identity as Saint Girl
won't change.
While I'm alive,
I belong to you.
Even if I die,
I still belong to you.
That's the century-old family rule of the Saint Doctors' Family.
I will accompany you no matter if I'm alive or dead.
What are you saying?
I don't want you to be buried alive for me.
Instead, I want you to live well.
I don't want you to be my dead person.
I just want you to be my woman.
I surely don't want to be buried alive.
But if I violate the family rule,
I won't be alive tomorrow,
-before I'm buried alive. -If you are willing,
I can find a way to let you get rid of the identity of Saint Girl.
Fake your death.
You only need to pretend to be ill for several days,
and then you will be proclaimed dead.
Then, I will hide you with the people.
After a period of time, you will be welcomed back to the palace
as the daughter of an officer.
No.
Even if you had a thousand ways to protect me,
the Saint Doctors' Family will have a thousand and one ways
to kill me.
Do I need to fear the Saint Doctors' Family?
If they bury you alive with me,
I will bury all of them alive for you!
Your Majesty,
please don't do this.
I've loved medicine since my childhood.
It was true in the past
and won't be changed in the future.
Moreover, you have never seen my face.
Under my veil,
my face is so ugly.
Am I so superficial
in your eyes?
No.
You are a wise king in my eyes.
But you have your heavenly fate,
and I have my duties.
The marriage of King Yi and the Saint Girl
will break the rules.
If someone takes advantage from this,
it will taint you, which will be adverse for you.
My love for you
is even a taint in your eyes?
Your Majesty, you shouldn't garble my words.
I just think that
you should set store by overall interests
and create a peaceful and prosperous state
for the common people.
Does creating a peaceful and prosperous state for the common people
conflict with being with you?
Am I so unreliable
in your heart?
I won't approve
of your memorial.
It seems that you are greatly drunk.
I'd like to cook a bowl of sober soup for you.
You don't need to leave.
I'll go.
WITH YOUR HEART, WE'LL NEVER BE APART
Your Majesty,
I think
that you not being married and having no child,
it makes people restless.
You should get married soon
and take several consorts
for reproduction.
A wise king should have a wife and consorts.
In my opinion,
taking consorts is not urgent.
What's important is to determine the queen first.
Recently, Liangguo has still sought
to eliminate our state.
The Tu people from the south
and the Huoluo people from the north
have repeatedly invaded our state
and provoked our bottom line.
Under such a current situation,
I have no mind to think over my marriage.
-However, Your Majesty-- -As long as we can't eliminate our enemies
to unite the state,
I'll
never get married.
The marriage of Your Majesty with Suihe was determined by the late King.
Since Your Majesty is healthy now,
Your Majesty should marry her to produce an heir
for the state soon.
It's late. Just leave.
I'm leaving.
Saint Girl,
I heard that today
Duke Nanping and Minister Fu urged King Yi to get married,
but King Yi said
he won't get married
before the enemies are eliminated
to unify the state.
I didn't expect that King Yi would be so firm and unyielding.
His tough and lofty belief
are really admirable.
Be careful.
Has the memorial you submitted been approved from His Majesty?
How long do you want to stay here?
I have no idea.
I think as His Majesty has so many important matters to think about,
he can't consider us at the time being.
You live comfortably here,
but do you know...
Do you still want to go back to the Saint Doctors' Family?
If l leave,
will I meet him again in my life?
It doesn't matter to stay here for several more days.
It doesn't matter.
Goodbye.
Your Highness,
you actually can ask us
to do these things
instead of coming here personally.
I've been looking forward
to the marriage with cousin for a long time.
Now that the wedding date is to be set,
naturally I want to do it personally,
to make it perfect.
Everyone knows your love for His Majesty.
His Majesty will take good care of you in the future.
Although it's just a short moment in the mortal world,
it's great
to marry Xufeng.
Yanyou.
What do you want?
It seems that you've recovered your memories of the Heavenly Realm.
What a pity!
I still like the silly and innocent you
from a few days ago.
Freeze.
You--
Although you have the memories,
you're still a human.
Princess Suihe,
you shouldn't have expected that
you'll be treated by me in this way, right?
Yanyou,
what on earth do you want?
I want to do many things to you.
Where should I begin?
As soon as I return to the Heavenly Realm,
just you wait and see!
See what?
I'm so good-looking that I can't be better.
I'm afraid that girls in heaven and on earth
will be jealous of my beauty.
You're shameless.
Shameless?
I'm shameless?
In this regard,
I'm absolutely inferior to you.
I can remember clearly what you did to me
in the Heavenly Realm back then.
Today,
let's make it clear.
Yanyou.
What?
The princess is missing.
Originally, she was talking with me in the carriage,
but somehow I fainted.
When I came to, she was nowhere to be found.
-Qichong. -Yes.
Send people to search around the city
to find the princess at all cost.
Yes.
Honghong, Honghong,
we've made an appointment to meet each other.
Where has she gone?
Lianqiao, Lianqiao,
come here.
What's wrong, Mr. Hu?
Do you know where the Match-Maker has gone?
He said it was too urgent
to wait for you to match
Jinmi and his second nephew in the mortal world.
He just left us behind.
Well, this old fox
always acts at will.
Your Majesty, Duke Nanping reported that
Princess Suihe is missing.
Duke Nanping hopes that you can also send people
to search for the princess.
What does he want to do?
Well,
Suihe is different from her dad.
Send someone to search for her.
No need. The princess is here right now.
What?
Just now she came with a man called Mr. Puchi
and asked for the decision of Your Majesty.
Your Highness. Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Do you think Xufeng will agree with our marriage?
Yanyou,
let me go
or you'll pay dearly for it
when I return to the Heavenly Realm.
Anyway, under your careful plan,
I'm already a criminal,
so I fear nothing.
What's more,
I'm very happy to marry you
in the mortal world.
Cousin, I...
I won't allow you to utter even a word from now on.
Are you Mr. Puchi?
I'm Puchi. Please take my respect.
Why do you want to meet me?
I'm a hanger-on in Duke Nanping's Palace.
Accidentally, I was acquainted with Princess Suihe.
Though we have a great disparity in status,
we felt familiar at first sight and fell in love with each other.
I know she's engaged to you,
so I shouldn't have held an improper desire for her.
However, love won't be controlled by reason.
Now, we are truly in love with each other,
please permit us.
Suihe,
do you also love him?
It's my turn.
-Cousin, -Cousin,
-we are truly in love with each other, -we are truly in love with each other,
-please permit us. -please permit us.
Yanyou, you even have a helper.
How dare you conjure the Puppet Incantation on me!
When I return to the Heavenly Realm someday,
I'll grind the bones of you two into dust.
My waist.
Your Majesty,
I've prepared for the worst
as I came here.
If you want to punish,
just punish me.
Don't hurt the princess.
Isn't she Princess Suihe?
Love arising secretly becomes deeper and deeper.
It's really a blessing
to meet the one you love and loves you in a short life,
so never give up easily.
Since you love each other,
I would like to help you.
I'll abolish the engagement with Suihe,
to return her freedom
to marry anyone she likes.
You're wise, Your Majesty. Thank you for your permission.
Please rise.
-We'll love each other forever, -We'll love each other forerver,
-to live up to your help. -to live up to your help.
Isn't Princess Suihe
always persistent in King Yi?
Why does she change her mind suddenly?
Moreover, King Yi
even agreed with them,
which is more wonderful than opera.
Aren't you going to listen to the storytelling?
Storytelling isn't
as wonderful as this.
Let's go.
Please rise.
This plan is really amazing.
Let's go.
Your Highness.
I'll go to the mortal world.
Perhaps someone can give me the answer
about the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow and Magic Fireballs.
Who?
Kuanglu.
Guard the Xuanji Palace.
I'll be back soon.
What's the connection between
the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow and Magic Fireballs?
Who can...
answer this?
