[Fated Hearts]

[Episode 29]

How long do you plan to keep me locked up?

What do you want to do when you get out?

Go back to Susha to find your father?

I've already divorced Xia Jingshi.

Your Majesty, please send a message

to inform my father and brother that

the marriage alliance between our two kingdoms has been annulled

and that I will return home soon.

This time,

I truly want to help you.

But I really can't.

Right.

Why would I expect you to help me?

You're the one who

imprisoned me here.

It's not that I don't want to help you.

I just can't

deliver messages to the dead.

What did you say?

You heard me correctly.

Your father and your brother

are both dead.

Your father and brother are dead!

My father died long ago.

And I wish my brother

would die sooner!

Xia Jingyan.

If you have nothing to say,

then don't speak.

If you keep talking nonsense,

don't blame me for being rude to you.

I knew you wouldn't believe me.

This is an urgent report

from our spy in Susha.

Take a look for yourself.

[Prime Minister Zhuang Shen of Susha has died. The First Prince, Feng Suige,]

[tried to kill the emperor and seize the throne.]

[Feng Pingcheng, the Emperor of Susha Kingdom, is dead.]

[Feng Suige was executed.]

It's fake, right?

Xia Jingyan,

to mess with me,

you actually wrote something like this

to scare me?

If I'd known this could really

scare you,

I would've done it long ago.

Why didn't I think of this before?

Do you believe it now?

No.

Looks like you do.

Going back to Susha?

So what if you go back?

Is there still a place for you

in Susha?

Your father is already dead.

And your brother is

a criminal who killed the emperor and usurped the throne.

You don't want to hear it?

That just makes me want to say it even more.

You chose to betray Susha in the first place.

You chose to save Xia Jingshi.

Anyone who gets involved with Xia Jingshi

never ends well.

He deserves to die.

And you—for being heartbroken over him—

you deserve it even more.

Feng Xiyang,

you have no home anymore.

You have no family left.

You're just a wandering ghost

with nowhere to belong.

This is

your punishment for marrying Xia Jingshi.

♪ Don't cry, don't cry ♪

♪ I'll remember the way home ♪

Remember.

Remember the taste of these tears.

That's the taste of your punishment.

Never forget it for the rest of your life.

and see what happens!

♪ Don't cry, don't cry ♪

Yes!

Let go of me!

♪ I'll find the way home ♪

Let go of me!

Is Feng Pingcheng really dead?

Yes.

The news has spread throughout the palace.

I secretly looked into it.

Feng Suige killed his father and emperor.

Feng Pingcheng died on the spot,

and Feng Suige

was executed by the Murong family.

Impossible.

From what I know of Feng Suige,

he would never commit

patricide.

Who is currently

ruling Susha?

Murong Zhong and his son.

That explains everything.

I bet

Feng Suige and Feng Pingcheng

were both killed

by the Murong Zhong and his son,

and Feng Suige was then framed

for patricide.

What about Yixiao?

Is there any news of her?

Not yet.

Keep sending people to look.

As soon as there's any news,

come back and inform me immediately.

Yes.

Susha is now in such great turmoil.

It's busy dealing with its own mess.

They won't start a war anytime soon.

Which means,

with the borders stable,

the Empress Dowager and her son have no more use for me.

Your Highness, are you saying...

Xia Jingyan will do everything

to get rid of me.

We need to speed up our plan.

How's the task

I gave Bai Shouzhuo going?

Everyone you asked for has been contacted.

They're waiting for your command.

Tonight,

I'll meet with our people

myself

and plan the next step.

We'll be there once we cross this river.

How do we get across?

Swim?

There's a boat over there.

Let's go.

Nobody move!

We're on the same side.

We know people from the Storm Alliance.

[Zhang Dongshi, Elder of Fishing Branch, Storm Alliance]

Who exactly are you?

How did you find this place?

Girl,

it's me!

[Wufeng Mountain, Storm Alliance]

Ning Fei,

have some water and rest.

Ning Fei.

[Shennong's Materia Medica]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

You should stop caring about me.

Ning Fei,

I came to the Storm Alliance

specifically to find you.

Although your physical wounds have healed,

your emotional wounds haven't.

No matter what,

I need to

heal you completely.

Elder Zhou.

You saved Ning Fei's life.

But he's been

[Shennong's Materia Medica]

so melancholy. How can that be?

Could you please help me talk to him?

[Shennong's Materia Medica]

[Zhou Hao, Elder of Studying Branch, Storm Alliance]

Heaven, earth, and all things

are the same.

Whether he should feel joy or sorrow

should not be forced.

Just let him follow his heart.

Elder Zhou,

Lord Ling brought a patient here.

The situation is serious.

He's been placed in the treatment room.

Alright, I'll go take a look.

Elder Feng,

are my father and the others here?

Yes.

He's in the treatment room.

Ning Fei,

my father is here.

Come.

I'll take you to meet

the person who saved your life.

Let's go.

Lord Ling,

you said he wouldn't last five days.

How is he now?

Don't worry.

Elder Zhou of the Storm Alliance

practices medicine differently from me.

His methods are unorthodox.

He'll surely find a way to save him.

Father!

Sister.

Elder Zhou, the patient is here.

Alright, let me take a look.

Yixiao?

Ning Fei.

Feng Suige?

He is Feng Suige?

He's Feng Pingcheng's son, right?

Girl.

-I'll kill him! -Girl!

Calm down.

Let me explain.

Let me explain!

[Storm Alliance]

Why did you stop me

from killing Feng Suige?

For such a serious matter,

we should wait for Elder Lei's approval.

I brought him here.

If you don't save him,

[Lei Lie, Elder of Woodcutting Branch, Storm Alliance]

I must take him away.

Don't waste your words.

Lord Ling,

I understand

everything you said.

Since you understand,

will you save him or not?

Why did you ask when you already know the answer?

Back then, Feng Pingcheng sent troops

to wipe out the Storm Alliance.

We suffered heavy casualties.

The Storm Alliance and the Feng family are sworn enemies.

Bringing a Feng descendant

to the Storm Alliance

is asking for death.

But don't forget,

Feng Suige is also

Wei Qingyu's son.

But he still bears the Feng name!

Anyone from the Feng family

is our Storm Alliance's

mortal enemy.

Elders,

what do you think?

I'll listen to my godfather.

I'm a doctor.

I don't want to stand by and let someone die.

Why don't you

make the decision yourselves?

Rules are rules.

Fine.

Today we'll follow the rules.

The Fengs are our enemies.

I'll kill Feng Suige for revenge!

Storm Alliance was founded

[Great Shelter Hall]

by Feng Suige's mother.

Everyone in the Alliance

has benefited from her kindness.

The current four elders are led

by Lei Lie from the Woodcutting Branch.

And Elder Lei hates the Fengs most.

But for my father's sake,

they shouldn't make things too hard

for Feng Suige.

Lord Ling once told me

never to reveal his identity.

I'm afraid he can't resolve this matter either.

I'll go in and take a look.

[Great Shelter Hall]

Ning Fei.

You can't go.

You're now a member of the Storm Alliance.

You can't openly help Yixiao.

[Great Shelter Hall]

Stop!

Get out of my way.

I failed Yixiao.

If you kill him,

after you die,

how will you face Qingyu?

You can't enter!

You cannot go in!

Feng Suige's mother

once showed kindness to all of you.

Now her son's life is hanging by a thread.

Not only do you refuse to save him,

but you also want to kill him.

Isn't this repaying kindness with betrayal?

Years ago, Feng Pingcheng

killed Qingyu despite their marriage bond,

then sent troops

to wipe out our Storm Alliance.

That blood debt

falls on Feng Suige.

A son paying for his father's sins

is only natural.

You probably don't know

the full truth.

Feng Suige's mother

was killed by Susha's Prime Minister,

Zhuang Shen.

How do you know this?

I heard it with my own ears,

witnessed it with my own eyes,

and personally helped Feng Suige

capture Zhuang Shen.

Everyone in Susha knows

that the First Prince Feng Suige

executed Zhuang Shen

and cleared his mother's name.

Feng Suige avenged his mother.

And you elders

of the Storm Alliance—

not only did you do nothing,

you didn't even figure out who your true enemy was.

Regardless,

he is still Feng Pingcheng's son.

He has the Feng family blood

flowing in his veins.

Are you sure

it was Feng Pingcheng who ordered

the attack on the Storm Alliance?

I heard him myself say

he never took your Storm Alliance

seriously.

If he had truly decided

to wipe out the Storm Alliance

and sent his army,

none of you would be alive today.

Tell me—

Feng Suige's mother

was killed by Zhuang Shen,

so who is it

that fears your secret revenge

and wants to wipe out the Storm Alliance completely?

Nonsense!

You're just making up lies

to save Feng Suige!

Enough. Stop arguing.

Allow me a moment

to weigh whether this is true.

Keep Feng Suige under guard for now.

Elder Lei,

you cannot be soft-hearted.

Since Big Brother said so,

let's think it over

before making a decision.

I'll make this clear:

if you want to kill Suige,

you'll have to kill me first.

I'll go check on him.

Zhou Hao!

If you dare try

to save Feng Suige,

don't blame me for being harsh with you.

[Storm Alliance]

How is he?

Is there any way to treat him?

I'm just here to check on him.

Those three elders haven't agreed,

so I can't treat him.

Sifang Elixir?

Zhou, what are you...

Keep quiet.

Feng Suige's condition doesn't look good.

Put this under his tongue.

It will help him hold on for a few more days.

Hurry.

Thank you, Elder Zhou.

Elder Zhou,

can you find any way

to make an exception?

I'll do anything

as long as you can save him.

I want to save him too.

I'm alone

and none of my family

died in that siege,

but Elder Lei

and Elder Zhang

watched

their children

die in that siege.

Their hatred of the Feng family

runs too deep.

Reconciling that hatred

will be extremely difficult.

Zhou.

I'll go to your place to get some medicine.

Help me out.

Sister.

Although Ning Fei didn't say it,

I know in his heart

he must feel very guilty.

What happened to him?

He seems like a completely different person.

It was Elder Zhou

who saved Ning Fei back then.

When he woke up,

he even asked why he bothered saving him,

saying it would've been better to let him die.

Later, Elder Feng

took him into the Farming Branch.

Every day, apart from working the fields,

he just sits in a daze,

hardly speaking a word.

He believes that

since his brothers,

his Jinxiu,

his prince,

and everything he believed in and stood for

are all gone,

he might as well be dead.

Once Feng Suige

pulls through this ordeal,

I'll try to talk some sense into him.

Alright.

[Cuiwei Palace]

Greetings, Your Eminence.

When I received your secret message,

I gathered them here

to await your arrival.

[Xunzi]

[The palace lantern appeared. Let's meet up at Cuiwei Palace]

[Xunzi]

[The palace lantern appeared. Let's meet up at Cuiwei Palace]

You've been hiding in the palace for so many years.

You've all suffered greatly.

Heaven shows no mercy,

and darkness draws near.

Only you

can save all living beings.

The moment we heard of your return,

we've been ready

to meet you at any time.

Your Eminence,

is our great cause

about to begin?

Are you all ready?

Just give the order,

and we will give our lives without hesitation.

What if I order you

to kill the Emperor, Xia Jingyan?

What?

Are you afraid?

Your Eminence, for you,

we would die without hesitation.

Girl.

Go back and rest.

You mustn't exhaust yourself.

I'm fine.

I can hold on.

Right now,

I just want to find a way to get the elders

of the Storm Alliance to agree to save him

as quickly as possible.

Lord Ling,

you must know about

the situation of the Storm Alliance, right?

Please tell me about it.

Feng Suige has never

told me about it.

When his mother founded

the Storm Alliance, he was still young.

He doesn't know much about many things.

Back then,

Qingyu was helping Feng Pingcheng fight for power.

Once she was seriously injured.

Feng Pingcheng

brought her to Zhengnian Villa,

asking me to save her.

But before she fully recovered,

Feng Pingcheng rushed back to the battlefield.

I spared no effort

and finally saved Qingyu.

I remember after she woke up,

she told me

she felt like she had died once,

and that many of the things she had once clung to

no longer mattered.

I feel as if I have died once.

Only after walking through hell

did I truly understand

how precious life is.

I can understand that feeling.

When I fell off the cliff,

it felt like I had died once too.

You and Qingyu

are both brave and resourceful heroines,

with great abilities

but not arrogant.

And both of you are compassionate.

After Qingyu recovered,

she grew weary of war

and stayed at Zhengnian Villa to help.

And in doing so,

she saw much of the suffering

caused by war.

Mom!

Zhengnian Villa

has its own rules.

The wounded I take in

are treated regardless of faction,

and no fighting is allowed.

So enemies who were killing each other

on the battlefield yesterday

must live

peacefully

in my villa today.

The warriors fight because they have no choice.

No one likes war,

and no one

wants to suffer from war.

If they can coexist peacefully,

why wouldn't they?

That was

when Chief Wei

had the idea to establish the Storm Alliance?

That's right.

Qingyu realized that the warring sides

could reconcile.

She told me

that although she couldn't stop the war

single-handedly,

at the very least she could treat

the wounded and displaced,

giving them a chance to survive.

So the Storm Alliance

was meant to be a utopia,

where people could fish, farm, work,

and study in peace.

Exactly.

But since Qingyu was gone,

what has the Storm Alliance become?

It's become filled with hatred—

hatred toward the Feng family

and Susha.

[Storm Alliance]

I feel as if I have died once.

Only after walking through hell

did I truly understand

how precious life is.

[Storm Alliance]

With dark skies and stormy weather,

the roosters keep on crowing.

This place should be called

the Storm Alliance.

[Storm Alliance]

Greetings, Elder Lei.

I'm sorry for disturbing you

with my late-night visit.

You're here to plead for Feng Suige?

You want to say

that what happened back then had nothing to do with the Fengs

and to persuade me to let go of my grudge?

Feng Suige didn't do anything wrong.

He didn't choose

to be the son of Feng Pingcheng.

This is his fate.

My two sons

both died in the siege back then.

What did they do wrong?

Do the grudges of the previous generation

really have to make

this generation

bear the full burden?

I know exactly what kind of person

Feng Pingcheng is.

Not a single person in the Feng family

is decent.

Feng Suige is different from his father.

If he were truly like Feng Pingcheng,

obsessed with power,

he would have already become

the emperor of Susha by now.

He has never harmed

any innocent person.

He shouldn't have to

unjustly pay

for faults that aren't his.

I don't care what kind of person he is.

I only know

he is my enemy.

[Storm Alliance]

Elder Lei,

why was

the Storm Alliance founded in the first place?

Why was it called the Storm Alliance?

What was its original purpose?

What are you trying to say?

I brought Feng Suige here back then

because I held hope in my heart.

I didn't know

what kind of place this was.

I only heard

the name Storm Alliance,

heard that there might be a chance

to save Feng Suige,

and came without hesitation.

Shouldn't this

be a paradise

that shelters all and protects people

from the storm?

From now on, this will be a place that shelters all

and protects people from the storm.

I heard that back then, Chief Wei

founded the Storm Alliance

to give those who were displaced,

who could see

no hope of survival,

a place to settle again,

a place where they could live and work in peace

in chaotic times.

Although I've never met her,

I admire her.

Throughout my life,

I've also experienced many hardships.

It's precisely because I've been caught in the rain

that I can't bear to watch others

struggle helplessly in the storm.

If I have the ability

to save someone in danger,

I will do everything in my power to help.

If Feng Suige's mother

were still alive,

I believe

she would do the same.

Those who bring warmth to others

must not be left to freeze in the snow.

Feng Suige's mother

saved so many people

through the Storm Alliance.

Her son

shouldn't have

to lose his chance to live like this.

I believe

the original purpose of founding the Storm Alliance

was to let those

suffering in the cold and hunger

see light in the darkness—

to give the homeless people

hope

and to help them survive.

Without her,

many of us

wouldn't be alive today.

So...

are you saying you're willing to save Feng Suige?

Mention my father and my brother again

and see what happens!

Your Majesty.

Do you want to die?

Get out!

Get out!

All of you, get out!

Stop right there!

How dare you barge into Shengfu Palace?

Who's causing trouble here?

Your Majesty,

the Princess of Zhennan is trying to force her way in.

Outrageous!

Let her in.

[Shengfu Hall]

[Shengfu Hall]

Princess of Zhennan barging into Shengfu Palace?

How dare you?

I've already told you—

I've divorced Xia Jingshi.

I'm no longer Princess of Zhennan.

Don't ever call me that again.

Did you really divorce Xia Jingshi?

Bai Shouzhuo.

My useless brother

was really abandoned?

Good!

This family disgrace

must be spread far and wide.

Got it?

Yes.

Ask him to leave us.

I have something to tell you.

Get out.

You want to ask me for something?

Let me guess.

You want me to show mercy

and let you return to Susha again?

That's not the attitude

of someone asking for a favor.

You should at least kneel down

and kowtow to me.

Interesting.

This is the first time

I've seen someone ask for favors like this.

If you kill me,

you won't survive either.

You said that I'm a homeless,

wandering ghost.

Since I have no one left to care about in this world,

why should I fear death?

Both my father and brother

wanted to kill you when they were alive.

Why don't I kill you

to comfort

their spirits in heaven?

Are you so eager

to go join your father

and brother?

I already know

what it feels like to be slapped.

I don't like it.

It hurts!

It hurts!

Remember this feeling too.

This is your retribution for humiliating me!

What a vengeful

Princess of Susha.

You're more interesting than I thought.

My brother

would never murder our father and emperor.

Someone killed them.

Find the killer who murdered

my father and brother!

Are you ordering me?

Who do you think you are?

Didn't anyone teach you

that when you ask for help,

you must pay a price?

That's what fairness means.

I can help you.

But what can you offer me?

As long as you help me,

I'll promise you anything.

What?

Servants!

Your Majesty.

Investigate

how Feng Pingcheng died.

Within three days,

you must uncover the truth.

If you fail,

I'll kill you all.

Yes.

Where have you been?

[Yujian Pavilion]

I'm asking you,

Princess Xiyang.

What does it have to do with you?

I've already divorced you.

The bond between us as husband and wife

no longer exists.

My affairs have nothing to do with you.

Princess Xiyang.

If you dare bother me again,

I swear I'll kill you.

[Yujian Pavilion]

Forgive me.

You must've heard about

what happened in Yujing City, haven't you?

You're here to kick me when I'm down?

I'm just worried about you.

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Spare me

your fake concern.

You're not even worth my curses.

Princess Xiyang,

if you need

any help from me,

feel free to ask.

Though

we are no longer

husband and wife,

we're still acquaintances.

I mean no harm.

I only wish to help.

Acquaintances?

Do I really know you?

Why is it that the longer we were together,

the more of a stranger you became?

You're not

the Prince of Zhennan

I once fell in love with.

We never truly knew each other.

Besides,

the Feng Xiyang you know

is already dead.

I've treated his external wounds.

They're not serious.

The biggest problem now

is the blockage of his blood and qi.

We can only try to stimulate his heart meridian

and see if it helps him

regain consciousness.

But I've already used acupuncture

to stimulate his heart meridian.

There was no improvement.

Ordinary acupuncture won't work anymore.

Look at his blood flow—

it's like a frozen river,

completely blocked.

Come on.

Pierce his finger to release blood

and help his energy circulate.

I'll handle

the rest.

Alright.

Let me see

your extraordinary acupuncture technique.

Good.

He's responding.

Pierce his Shaoshang point.

He moved.

Press his Zuzhong point.

I'll press on his upper body.

Let's get his breath back.

Come on.

[Treatment Room]

[Treatment Room]

Elder Zhou,

Lord Ling.

How is...

Feng Suige?

He's not awake yet,

but his life's no longer in danger.

That brat Feng Suige won't die.

He's been unconscious for too long.

We'll have to wait until

he wakes up to know

his exact condition.

No words can express my gratitude.

[Treatment Room]

Thank you, Elder Zhou.

Thank you. You two are saints.

Thank you. You two are saints.

Thank you. You two are saints.

Thank you.

[Fuxin Pavilion]

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, why did you summon me?

I heard that

you dissolved your marriage

with Prince of Zhennan without permission.

That's right.

This marriage

concerns the politics of both our nations—

it's not just a personal matter between you two.

You made such a decision

without consulting me.

Do you still respect my authority?

The politics of two nations?

At this point,

does that still matter?

I've heard about what happened to your father and brother.

The dead are gone.

My condolences.

Take care of yourself.

When your brother

Feng Chengyang ascends the throne,

you'll become the Grand Princess of Susha,

representing Susha's image abroad.

It seems to you,

who I am doesn't matter,

nor does whether Prince of Zhennan

and I get along.

What matters is my status.

You're a smart woman.

I like talking to smart people.

Your sudden misfortune

made you lose your bearings,

so I'll overlook your rashness.

Go back, show humility, and apologize

to Prince of Zhennan.

You'll still be Princess of Zhennan.

As long as you obey,

I'm willing to be your protector.

If I'm not mistaken,

that's how you

took advantage of Xia Jingshi's weakness back then

and gradually

brought him under your control, isn't it?

He's a man who knows how to adapt.

I hope you are too.

Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

I've always

made a habit

of taking control of my own fate.

Marrying Xia Jingshi

was my decision.

Taking Xia Jingshi away from Susha

was my decision.

Divorcing him

was also my decision.

Since I've decided

to cut all ties with him,

even if it costs me my life,

I'll never change my mind.

I gave you a chance,

but you refused it.

Don't regret it later.

Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.

However,

aside from my father and brother,

I need no one's protection.

I, Feng Xiyang,

am my own protector.
