[Fated Hearts]
[Episode 10]
[Archery]
Come one, come all!
Don't miss your chance!
Hit three arrows,
and this love lock is yours.
It symbolizes a long and happy marriage.
Would you like to give it a try?
Young Master Xia,
that looks interesting.
Let go!
Shall we try?
Sure.
We'd like to try it.
Okay, please.
This way.
Here.
Thank you.
Will you teach me?
Archery isn't mastered in a day.
But I'd like to try.
All right.
[Archery]
Raise your left hand.
Hold it firmly.
Lower your right shoulder.
Too low.
Raise it a bit more.
Relax.
Is this how you
taught her back then?
Young Master Xia,
if you just tell me these basics,
I'll have a hard time learning.
How about this?
However you taught her back then,
teach me the same way now.
Come on.
They look perfect together.
Yes.
The Prince of Zhennan and Princess Xiyang
are both so good-looking.
They're a match made in heaven.
Am I a quick learner?
You do have some talent.
When we're married,
will you teach me every day?
Okay.
Miss Yixiao, I've heard your archery is unmatched.
Since we have the opportunity today,
could you show us your skills?
Yixiao has an old injury on her hand.
She can't draw a bow.
Who says she can't?
โช Take down the setting sun as my heart โช
โช Fold the heaven and earth to make my wings โช
โช If fate shows no mercy โช
โช Then don't blame my recklessness โช
Today, I'll be your left hand.
Let everyone see
the grace of Jinxiu's top archer.
โช I thought this life would drift like a solitary sail โช
โช Yet I chanced upon you in the smoke-filled alleyway โช
โช Like a fleeting flower falling into โช
โช My eyes โช
โช Once I was like a frost-edged sword โช
โช Sweeping across the battlefield in gleaming light โช
โช Never thought who'd lay me to rest โช
Bravo! Bravo!
Amazing.
โช Once unstoppable and sharp โช
โช Now my heart's tied to you โช
Miss.
Nice shot.
This love lock is yours.
I'm giving this love lock
to you two.
I wish you a long,
happy marriage.
Though this lock is of simple material,
it has a wonderful meaning.
Miss Yixiao, I'll accept
your gift.
Young Master Xia,
let me put it on for you.
No need.
โช The rain drifts endlessly โช
Don't make me do it!
โช The old dream burns the heart โช
Logically speaking,
from so close,
โช Dreams sink into ruin โช
and with you unguarded,
it should have been someone familiar
who shot you off the cliff.
โช Missing the warmth of your palm โช
I wasn't the one
who shot you off that cliff.
โช Awaiting dusk โช
Nor did I send anyone
to kill you.
Though we belong to rival nations,
โช Shadows take root in the mountain pass โช
and our hatred runs deep,
there's someone else
who wants you dead even more than I do.
โช In just a moment, tears stained โช
To me,
you're not just a female general under my banner
but also the person I'm closest to
and the one I trust most.
Have you forgotten
โช Amid the bustling sound of wind and rain โช
that on the cliff,
the arrow that hit you
โช Who laughs at me, heart cold as the desert? โช
must have come from someone you trusted completely?
โช Dreams turn through a lifetime โช
โช Who sighs for me, enduring separations? โช
โช Love is a trial, harsh and cold โช
โช Who crushes the lingering pain for me? โช
โช Looking for me โช
What's wrong?
Is your head hurting again?
I'm fine.
Yixiao,
if you're not feeling well,
I'll take you back.
Thank you for your concern.
I'm fine.
Lu Ke.
Yes.
Go get Young Mistress Ling to my manor.
Your Highness,
there's a street performance over there.
Let's go take a look.
Besides, with your memory lost,
you have no clues at all now.
Even if the person who wants you dead
is standing right in front of you now,
you wouldn't be able to tell it.
As for me,
I have the manpower
and the abilities.
You can make use of me.
Your Highness,
I'll go fetch Young Mistress Ling right away.
Lu Ke.
No need.
I'll go to find Xueying myself.
Don't bother.
Don't worry about me.
You're overthinking.
I won't waste
the slightest thought on you.
That's for the best.
Your Highness,
may I borrow your carriage?
Princess Xiyang,
I have matters to attend to,
so I'll take my leave.
[Zhengnian Hall]
What's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm fine.
Since losing my memory,
I've been getting frequent headaches.
They will pass soon.
I was going to rub
the Baihui acupoint on your crown.
You know medicine?
You don't remember?
After rescuing you
from the death camp,
you were jumpy all the time
with unbearable headaches.
The army physician said
massaging the Baihui acupoint
on your head could help.
But you wouldn't allow
anyone to come near you,
not even the army physician,
except for me.
It seems that back then,
I trusted you a lot.
You just said
you rescued me
from the death camp.
What is the death camp?
Your experience there
left a mark on you for life.
You don't remember any of it?
No.
In Jinxiu City,
there was once a lesser noble.
He wanted to groom a force
that would be loyal only to him,
so he secretly abducted orphans
and sent them to the death camp,
forcing each of them to learn how to kill.
You have no parents,
no family, and no ties.
Your life
is worth less than an ant's.
From time to time,
they'd send in condemned prisoners.
Only the victors
got to survive.
I guess
it must be because you rescued me
from the death camp
that I only trusted you
back then.
That's right.
Then you served in my army
and made the military camp your home.
You considered Ning Fei and Weiran
as your family.
So that's how it was.
All those years, you and I
fought on the battlefield and risked our lives.
I don't know how many times you saved me.
Do you still remember
when you insisted on
wearing a red battle robe on the battlefield?
That's why you were called
the Red-Clad General.
I guess it was because on the battlefield,
one was bound to get wounded and bleed,
and wearing a red robe meant
even if I bled,
the enemy wouldn't notice,
it wouldn't hurt morale,
and I wouldn't look weak.
No.
You did it for me.
You insisted on wearing red
to stand out on the battlefield.
You wanted
to draw the enemy's attention
and take the blows for me.
Unfortunately,
I don't remember anything.
It's alright.
There's no rush.
We have plenty of time.
I'll help you remember everythingโ
everything
we went through together.
Trust me,
will you?
Okay.
Xia Jingshi,
so it was you who tried to kill me.
But why do you want me dead?
Your Highness.
Fu Yixiao
is so ungrateful.
Your Highness,
don't stoop to her level.
There's no need to get upset
with a woman who can't tell right from wrong.
She doesn't remember anything,
but the moment she saw her old master,
she was desperate
to return to him
and serve in his army again.
She seemed smart enough before,
but at the critical moment,
she's clueless,
not even knowing
the one who wants her dead
is Xia Jingshi.
No.
She already knows.
Lu Ke.
No need.
Help me.
I'll go to find Xueying myself.
Waitโฆ
What about that letter?
Well,
it's been successfully delivered to Jinxiu.
By now,
the Emperor of Jinxiu must have read it.
[Yifeng Hall]
So,
the Prince of Zhennan and Xiyang
shot arrows together.
They truly seem like a loving couple.
Did a lot of people
see that?
Quite a few people saw it.
I personally heard
many of the commoners present
praising the two of them,
saying they look perfect together.
The people of Susha
have prejudices against the Prince of Zhennan
that won't disappear overnight.
Luckily, because of this marriage alliance,
His Majesty granted a general amnesty,
which eased
some of the resentment against him.
It's just a pity
that Fu Yixiao
got into the Prince of Zhennan's carriage in the end
and headed back with him.
The Prince of Zhennan actually left
Princess Xiyang alone.
I'm afraid those with ill intentions
who noticed this
will spread rumors.
I'd like to see
which fool out there
dares to spread rumors and start trouble.
All right, go back.
Don't come here for the next few days
unless I summon you,
lest the Princess become suspicious.
Yes,
I'll take my leave.
I heard a rumor from the court today
about Fu Yixiao.
Your Majesty,
that's true.
The Prince of Zhennan, under the pretext of exchanging prisoners,
has requested to take Fu Yixiao
back to Jinxiu.
Summon Xun Xiang to see me.
Yes.
Your Highness.
Yixiao.
I heard you're ill,
so I came to check on you.
Weiran is still
handling some official matters
and will be here later.
Miss Ling,
how is she?
Not good.
Is there anything wrong
with Yixiao's pulse?
Yixiao is fine.
I'll just give her something to calm her nerves.
I mean,
Prince of Zhennan,
you're not looking good.
His Highness?
Stop pretending to be fine.
If you keep holding the blood in,
when the toxins hit your heart,
even the gods won't be able to save you.
What do you mean?
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Your poison is flaring up again.
Your Highness,
hang in there.
Reinforcements will arrive soon.
Hang in there.
Yixiao,
go on without me.
No.
I'm not leaving.
Listen to me,
after I die,
the Emperor certainly won't
spare any of you.
Take this.
With it, you can command the Zhennan Army.
Get out of here.
Now.
I don't want this!
I'm not leaving you behind.
Don't worry about me.
Just go.
Go!
I'll live or die with you, Your Highness!
It's a military order!
Stay alive.
His poison has flared up.
What kind of poison
is he suffering from?
There's no cure for that poison.
Each month when the poison strikes, he suffers greatly.
He must take the antidote immediately.
And the antidote?
Where is it?
The wedding procession
will soon arrive in Yujing.
The antidote will be delivered with it.
Don't worry.
I'm fine.
Xueying,
can you make an antidote?
I can only prepare medicine
to ease his pain
and make him feel better.
Thank you, Miss Ling.
Don't just stand there.
Come with me.
Give me a hand.
Okay.
Do you really have a way
to ease His Highness's pain?
Of course.
I tasted hundreds of herbs when I was 5,
learned diagnostics at 10,
and by 13, I had mastered
all of my father's medical skills.
My treatments always work.
How dare you doubt me?
I just do.
I...
Are you really that good?
Of course.
I run the entire Zhengnian Villa on my own.
I can't do that with just empty talk.
That's true.
If the First Prince of Susha trusts you
to treat Yixiao,
you must have some skill.
Yixiao.
Don't worry.
I'll be fine.
If you have any questions,
go ahead and ask.
How did you get poisoned?
It's so severe.
You're still the same,
just like before.
When you have doubts,
you'll stop at nothing to get answers.
You can't keep anything to yourself.
The poison in me is a secret.
I remember
the first time you saw me
suffering from the poison.
You kept asking me why.
I wouldn't tell you,
but you just wouldn't give up
and kept asking.
So,
you're still not planning to tell me?
Not now.
One day I will tell you.
Is that
what you told me back then too?
Yes.
The truth behind my poisoningโ
you,
Ning Fei, and Weiranโ
none of you know about it.
Have you remembered something?
Bits and pieces.
I remember one time your poison flared up.
You thought you were going to die
and told me to leave you behind
and escape for my life.
That was the battle
at Shahekou two years ago.
We were in a hopeless situation.
I ordered you to leave me behind.
That was the first time
you disobeyed my order,
staying by my side no matter what
until the reinforcements arrived.
I never thought
we'd been through so many brushes
with death together.
Yixiao.
Don't worry.
I'll help you remember
everything you want to know.
Ask me anything you want to know.
I'll tell you.
From now on, with me by your side,
you won't get hurt again.
Trust me,
will you?
Of course I trust you.
There's a scar on my left leg.
I didn't even remember how I got it
until Ning Fei
told me.
It turns out
I was once ambushed and captured.
If you hadn't risked your life to save me,
my leg would have been crippled.
I don't remember any of that myself.
That's not right.
What Yixiao heard was
that she was captured
while trying to save His Highness.
Why is she turning it around
to say His Highness risked his life to save her?
Is she testing His Highness
or trying to gain his trust?
You're still very weak.
Talking less will help you recover.
Rest well.
I'll stay here
with Xueying for now
until you've recovered.
Sir.
I'm here.
You're an hour late.
There were soldiers on duty near the inn.
On my way here,
I had to be extra careful
not to expose myself,
so it took longer.
The inn where you're staying
is guarded by the Imperial Guards' Bing Division.
I scheduled our meeting
for the time
when the Bing Division changes shifts.
Shouldn't it be easy
to escape their notice
at that time?
I also had to watch out
for Feng Suige's spies lurking in the dark.
Feng Suige hasn't placed any men there.
How do you know that?
Nothing that happens in Yujing City
escapes me.
Since your master
arrived in Yujing,
he's met with the Emperor, the Empress,
and even the Princess.
Right now, he's probably so busy arranging his marriage
that he's forgotten everything
I told you to do.
Rest assured.
We'll never go back
on our word.
Why is Fu Yixiao still alive?
You can't even take down one woman.
If you're so incompetent,
I'll have to do it myself.
And I'll have to reconsider
whether you're still
worth cooperating with.
With Feng Suige around,
killing her isn't so easy.
I need the right opportunity.
Such cowardice.
How can you get anything done?
I know you'll meet
Fu Yixiao again.
That's your chance.
But if I act rashly,
Feng Suige may learn of
His Highness's plans too soon.
Cut the crap!
I want Fu Yixiao dead.
Stop hesitating
and being indecisive.
Just follow my orders.
Sir, don't forget
this is only a partnership.
I don't take orders from you.
Don't you forget
where you are now.
Offend me,
and the consequences will be far worse
than offending Feng Suige.
Please give me more time.
I don't want to hear your excuses.
I only care about the results.
I know every move
each of you makes.
This time,
don't disappoint me again.
[Zhengnian Hall]
Yixiao,
don't worry.
I'll help you remember
everything you want to know.
Don't forget,
you're still my concubine now.
Don't push your luck.
I want Xia Jingshi to see
that his beloved general
is now mine.
Sister.
Sister,
what's wrong?
I remembered something.
Tell me.
What did you remember?
The one who shot me off the cliff
was Xia Jingshi.
What did you say?
Are you sure it was him?
I've wondered
if my memories are confused,
if I was imagining things.
But I went over every conversation
I've had with Xia Jingshi
since we met.
He always seemed
to be subtly testing
what exactly I had remembered.
Have you remembered something?
Ning Fei and Xiao Weiran told me
that the moment
they heard I was still alive,
they rushed to Yujing.
Don't you find that strange?
Isn't it because he was worried about you?
I hope I'm overthinking this,
but I feel
it's more than just worry.
I did think
it was someone close to you.
I suspected Ning Fei.
I suspected Xiao Weiran.
But never have I
suspected Xia Jingshi.
I always thought
he was a good man.
If I hadn't remembered
the moment before I fell off the cliff,
I'd also think he was a good man.
In some of the memories I've recovered,
we fought side by side
and looked out for each other.
He showed me
a lot of kindness.
But why did he do that?
I don't know.
I don't know
why he did that either.
That's why
I need to stay by Xia Jingshi's side.
Ever since I met him,
he's been guarded around me.
Only when he completely lets his guard down
will I get the truth.
Your Highness.
It's me, Weiran.
Come in.
Your Highness.
I went to the inn
and retrieved this.
Have you forgotten
what I told you?
Of course not.
I just can't bear to see you
suffer from the poison.
You've saved up
these antidotes over the years.
Please,
take one this time.
Before my grand plan begins,
these antidotes must not be touched.
I don't want
to repeat myself again.
Understood.
By the way,
any changes
with the prisoner exchange to rescue Yixiao?
No.
Susha has agreed to release Yixiao
and let her return with us.
What's wrong?
Your Highness,
don't you think
something's off about Yixiao?
When I met her that day,
she had no interest in catching up.
All she cared about was recovering her memories.
I don't think she even remembers
the bond we once shared.
She only wanted
to extract the truth from me.
Don't you feel the same, Your Highness?
Were you
eavesdropping on us?
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Put yourself in her shoes.
If I were Yixiao,
seeing my former
friends and comrades now,
I'd also want to ask
what happened to me in the past.
I believe Yixiao knows deep down
that she's still one of us.
Besides, she's now in enemy territory,
constantly on guard against her mortal enemy,
Feng Suige.
She definitely sees us
as her own people.
But...
Enough.
I've said all I need to say.
I finally got some trust
with Yixiao.
I don't want
this hard-won trust
to be ruined.
Weiran.
Your caution and persistence
are your strengths.
But you don't need to suspect everything.
Even the wisest can make mistakes.
I don't think there is
anything off about Yixiao.
You're overthinking it.
Yes, Your Highness.
I'm just worried
she might remember
the truth about that day on the cliff.
After allโฆ
Your Highness!
I also hope
she never remembers that moment.
Come.
No matter what happened in the past,
I don't want Yixiao
to suffer even the slightest harm.
Understood.
Your Highness,
rest early.
I'll take my leave.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Rise.
Get rid of someone for me as soon as possible.
Who is it?
A girl from the Jinxiu Kingdom.
Her name is Fu Yixiao.
The female prisoner
brought back by the First Prince?
What?
Having second thoughts?
You don't dare to harm Feng Suige's woman?
The Xun family
may be only distant relatives of Your Majesty,
but for years,
we've benefited from your grace.
To serve you
is my honor
and my family's blessing.
You have no choice but to succeed.
And no one shall ever know about it.
Please rest assured, Your Majesty.
Prime Minister Zhuang.
Prime Minister Zhuang.
You're finally here.
Prime Minister Zhuang.
Prime Minister Zhuang.
We're in the heart of the capital.
You're the dignified Minister of Rites.
Stop shouting. Show some decorum.
The First Prince
proposed
a shocking plan.
He said that after the marriage alliance is formed,
he wants the Prince of Zhennan to stay in Susha.
Explain.
He wants the Prince of Zhennan to marry into Susha
and be the Emperor's live-in son-in-law!
Your Majesty.
Shen Wu has already spoken to you?
Yes.
I assume you're aware of the situation.
Then tell me,
what do you think?
In my humble opinion,
forcing the Prince of Zhennan
to stay in Susha
is unwise.
Jinxiu proposed the marriage alliance,
and we agreed.
But neither side ever said
that it had to be Jinxiu's Prince of Zhennan
who takes our princess away.
That means
we can propose instead
that the Prince of Zhennan
stay in Susha as a live-in son-in-law.
Prime Minister Zhuang,
what's wrong with that?
It's a marriage alliance between two nations.
Even among the common folk,
it's always the bride who moves in with the groom.
That's long been the custom.
Who set that custom?
Your Highness,
this concerns two nations.
Please think of the bigger picture.
Marriage is not war.
It isn't about victory or defeat.
Exactly.
It's precisely for the bigger picture
that I want Xia Jingshi to stay in Susha.
This way, we won't break the marriage alliance
or ruin the peace between the two nations.
We gain nothing but benefit.
We can't do that.
Why not?
The war has only just stopped.
If you kept Xia Jingshi in Susha,
wouldn't that reignite the flames of war?
Without Xia Jingshi, the Zhennan Army
will be leaderless.
I don't believe the Emperor of Jinxiu
would dare declare war on us.
And even if he dares,
why should we be afraid?
Even in war, we don't kill the envoys.
Yet now, under the guise
of a marriage alliance, you want to detain their prince.
Wouldn't that be going back on our word
and make everyone
despise us?
How is it going back on our word?
When the Emperor of Jinxiu proposed the alliance,
did he ever say
we couldn't have the Prince of Zhennan
marry into Susha?
But it's against custom.
Which custom exactly?
Does Susha have any law forbidding
a man from being a live-in son-in-law?
Are you objecting
in Susha's interests,
or are you actually
on Jinxiu's side?
Youโฆ
Enough!
Your Majesty, please judge wisely.
I believe the First Prince
proposed this reckless plan out of personal resentment.
Because Xia Jingshi
demanded to take away
the female general called Fu Yixiao,
the First Prince is deliberately
making things difficult for him.
Fu Yixiao is your prisoner.
Xia Jingshi wants a prisoner exchange.
What do you think?
Fine.
As long as Your Majesty decrees
that Xia Jingshi be held in Susha,
that woman
can be returned to Jinxiu.
Your Majesty, you must not!
I want Xia Jingshi detained,
yet you keep obstructing me.
Could it be that keeping Xia Jingshi here
would ruin some scheme of yours, Prime Minister Zhuang?
What nonsense is that?
As the Prime Minister,
you oppose
a plan that clearly benefits Susha
at every turn.
Instead of focusing on state policy,
you worry whether marrying into Susha
might damage
Xia Jingshi's pride.
You might as well resign from your position
and go serve
as Xia Jingshi's strategist instead.
Your Highness targets me at every turn.
Is it because of that matter
from years ago?
I have said beforeโ
what happened back then
is not
to be mentioned again.
Your Majesty,
I spoke out of turn in the heat of the moment.
Please forgive me.
This is a serious matter
that requires careful consideration.
We need to discuss it with the Emperor of Jinxiu.
Your Majesty,
I've already sent a letter
to the Emperor of Jinxiu,
formally raising the matter
of Xia Jingshi marrying into Susha.
Soon enough,
we will have
his reply.
Your Majestyโฆ
Prime Minister Zhuang,
you may leave.
Yes, Your Majesty.
[Yujing City]
The wedding procession of the Prince of Zhennan from Jinxiu
is about to arrive in Yujing!
[Peace]
The wedding procession of the Prince of Zhennan from Jinxiu
is about to arrive in Yujing!
When did you write to Xia Jingyan?
Three days ago.
By calculation,
he should have read
the letter last night.
Here is the exact message I sent,
word for word.
Please take a look, Your Majesty.
Read it.
"The Prince of Zhennan is both wise and brave,
a talent sent by Heaven.
In him, I see brilliance
beyond compareโ
even Song Yu cannot surpass him,
nor can Zhou Gongjin rival him.
My father once said
gaining such a son-in-law
is better than gaining 100,000 scholars.
He cherishes him
as his own flesh and blood.
As for my sister Xiyang,
apple of Father's eye,
she once attended Father on his sickbed.
Her filial piety and virtue are rare in this age.
Father cannot bear to marry her off to a distant land,
and he treasures the brilliance of the Prince of Zhennan too.
In Yujing,
we'll present grand estates and fertile lands as gifts,
hoping the Prince of Zhennan may remain in Sushaโ
father and daughter together,
brothers close, husband and wife united.
Your wish to strengthen bonds between our two nations can be fulfilled.
Everyone in Susha
admires the Prince of Zhennan.
We earnestly request you to consider it
and graciously give your assent."
Not easy.
Not easy at all.
Writing such high praise for the Prince of Zhennanโ
you really know how to bend when needed.
Among all the civil officials in my court,
I can hardly
find anyone who can flatter
Xia Jingshi better than you.
Thank you for your praise.
How dare you!
Your Majesty, you should wait
until the Emperor of Jinxiu's reply arrives
and then see whether my move
was bold
and reckless.
You sure can keep your cool.
It seems
you already know how Xia Jingyan
will handle this.
He will agree.
Actually, Xia Jingyan
may even fan the flames
to push Xia Jingshi into marrying into Susha.
After all, whether for us
or for the Emperor of Jinxiu,
keeping the Prince of Zhennan,
who's backed by an army, in Susha
brings only benefits and no harm.
I bet Xia Jingyan
would have been pleased
when he read this letter.
The letter has been sent,
so there's no taking it back.
Xia Jingshi
wouldn't like
what the letter will bring forth,
but Susha
will benefit a lot from it.
Yet still, you acted on your own,
interfering with the major affairs between the two nations.
Your Majesty once taught me
that the wise weigh gains and losses.
That letter was written
after I thought it through carefully
and analyzed the pros and cons.
Enough.
Don't fob me off
with those high-sounding words.
I'm not Prime Minister Zhuang.
I don't have the patience to argue with you.
I did act on my own.
For the nation,
I want to understand why Jinxiu is so eager
to form a marriage alliance with Susha.
For myself,
I want to see
how Xia Jingshi will treat Xiyang
after marrying her.
I don't expect
to keep him long.
A year or two is enough
to see everything clearly.
If this letter
damages
the peace between our two nations,
I will accept the blame.
All right.
You may leave.
Your Majesty, you look so pleased.
Has something good happened?
He didn't disappoint me.
Your Majesty, you mean
the First Prince?
[Emperor, the Prince of Zhennan is both wise and brave, a talent sent by Heaven.]
[In him, I see brilliance beyond compareโ even Song Yu cannot surpass him,]
[nor can Zhou Gongjin rival him. My father once said]
[gaining such a son-in-law is better than gaining 100,000 scholars.]
[He cherishes him as his own flesh and blood.]
[Shengfu Hall]
[Shengfu Hall, the Imperial Palace of Jinxiu]
[Shengfu Hall]
Greetings, Empress Dowager.
[Empress Dowager Jing of Jinxiu]
Youโฆ
Clear everyone out.
All of them?
Such disgraceful behavior
must never be known outside these walls.
[Shengfu Hall]
Yes.
Empress Dowager, please wait.
His Majesty is occupied at the moment.
His Majesty is in rare good spirits today.
Leave.
Hurry!
Your Majesty!
[Xia Jingyan, Emperor of Jinxiu]
