[Fated Hearts]

[Episode 37]

If you don't agree to my terms,

I'll die right here today

along with the child in my womb!

You're threatening me again!

I'm just reminding you!

Fine.

Xia Jingyan!

Don't.

Alright.

Put the knife down.

Didn't you say

what's between us is just a deal?

Then I will make

one final deal with you.

My birthday is coming soon.

Stay with me until my birthday is over,

and I will

give you a border pass

and let you all leave.

Is that all?

Good.

Then it's a deal.

But first of all,

I need to see my brother tomorrow.

Okay.

I'm going to visit my ancestral residence tomorrow,

and I'll allow you to see him then.

However,

don't ever think about seeing your brother

and using that chance to flee away.

This is Jinxiu,

the city under my rule,

and you cannot escape.

Neither do I want to harm Feng Suige.

But if you do something foolish,

you know what I'm capable of.

Xia Jingyan made her

settle down

in a palace of the harem.

It's said...

It's said that Empress Dowager Jing

has had several fights

with Xia Jingyan because of Princess Xiyang.

As far as I can see,

at least Xia Jingyan is

on Princess Xiyang's side.

She should be safe for now.

I'm going to kill Xia Jingshi.

Feng Suige,

you must stay calm.

I was the one who handed

my sister over to him.

I've always known

that Xiyang wouldn't be happy marrying him.

And I never expected

him to make Xiyang happy.

My sister cares for him so much.

For him, she was willing to abandon Susha

and betray her father and brother.

She even threatened to commit suicide

just to help him out of his misery.

But what about him?

He's ungrateful.

Xia Jingshi doesn't deserve to be called human.

I will tear him to pieces.

Yes,

Xia Jingshi deserves to die.

But we're in Jinxiu,

not Susha.

Also, we're here

to rescue Princess Xiyang

from her predicament,

not to put you in danger.

Calm down first.

We can surely figure out a way.

Xia Jingyan refuses to see you

and must have

kept your arrival

in Jinxiu under wraps.

But don't worry.

I've already told Pei

to inform Princess Xiyang

of your rescue plan.

Okay.

Xiyang has led a luxurious life since childhood.

She's never suffered such humiliation before.

No one knows her better than I do.

She appears gentle on the surface,

but she's actually quite tough inside.

Having endured all this,

she must be planning to take revenge for me.

That's why

you must trust her, too.

If she receives the message,

she'll surely find a way

to meet with us.

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

the Ministry of Rites told us

that the Princess

will come to see you tomorrow

right at the Yunlai Inn.

Princess Xiyang must have

received our message already.

Anyway,

let's meet with Xiyang first.

You've waited for so long.

Have a little more patience

and wait just one more night.

Soon,

you will be able

to see your sister.

Can't believe you've been through so much.

But Yixiao,

no matter what,

you are still from Jinxiu.

Jinxiu is your home.

If one day

Susha and Jinxiu go to war again,

how will you choose?

The former Fu Yixiao is already dead.

It was Feng Suige who kept me alive.

The old Fu Yixiao

risked her life for Jinxiu

with nothing to repent of.

Xiyang,

your brother has come to pick you up.

Tomorrow, I will take you home.

So it was all

my wishful thinking,

my one-sided love.

"Shi'an" is good.

"Shiyou" is better,

suitable for both princes and princesses.

Am I still

the Princess of Susha I used to be?

Brother,

am I still your younger sister?

Yixiao,

do you know

that I've been scheming all these years

just for this day?

Xiyang,

no matter how much you've suffered,

I will

settle the score for you one by one.

My hands are stained with blood.

I'm no longer who I used to be.

Brother,

I don't deserve to be your sister anymore.

It's just a deal.

I don't care about it either!

Feng Xiyang,

I have no concern for you at all!

Yixiao,

wait for me.

Wait until I finish all this,

and I will bring you back to my side.

From now on, I, Fu Yixiao,

will only live for myself.

Why don't you understand what I'm saying?

The inn is closed. We're not serving any guests.

And do you understand me?

I told you I'm not here to book any rooms.

I'm looking for someone.

I'm looking for someone about this tall,

usually in red.

-Ning Fei. -Or...

Yixiao.

Ning Fei, you're here.

Where are Xueying,

Fang, and the others?

How are they?

Are they all doing well?

Don't worry, Yixiao.

They're all fine.

By the way,

Xueying asked me to tell you

that she's tied up right now.

After you wrap things up,

you can go back to see her.

You scared me.

I'm glad they're all doing well.

That puts my mind at ease.

I was planning to settle down first,

then go to Yujing City to help you.

Fortunately, I received your reply

and learned that you'd come to Shengjing.

So I hurried here

without delay

to meet up with you.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

When you meet your sister later,

remember not to act on impulse.

Talk things through calmly.

Don't make her worry.

Actually,

I haven't been back to Shengjing for a while.

Ning Fei and I

will go out for a walk later.

You and your sister haven't

seen each other for a long time.

You must have a lot to catch up on.

I'll leave you two to talk.

Be careful when you hang out.

Stay safe.

Don't worry.

It's good that Xiyang can come out to see you.

Make her stay,

and tomorrow morning,

we'll take her away.

All right.

Yixiao,

do you remember

when we came to Shengjing once before?

Yes.

His Highness sent the three of us

to meet someone in Shengjing.

Right.

Right on this street,

the three of us

feasted on a roast lamb together.

It was so good.

I wonder

if that restaurant is still open here.

Steamed buns.

Xiao Weiran?

Let's split up and search.

Okay.

[Yunlai Inn]

[Yunlai Inn]

Your Highness,

please.

[Yunlai Inn]

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

the Prince is waiting for you upstairs.

The Emperor of Jinxiu

has brought a squad of soldiers with him,

standing guard outside.

Ignore them.

Xiyang.

Brother!

I thought I would never see you again.

I missed you so much.

I thought I was

left all alone

in this world.

Living that way was more painful than dying.

I know.

I know, Xiyang.

It's all over now.

It's all behind us.

See? I'm standing here

safe and sound before you.

Xiyang.

I failed to well protect you.

No.

It was my fault.

Brother, it was my fault.

I was too headstrong, too foolish.

I didn't listen to you back then.

Everything that happened to me

was my own doing.

I brought it on myself.

This is the punishment I deserve.

Don't talk nonsense, Xiyang.

Since hearing that terrible news,

I've prayed to heaven every day.

I begged God

to show mercy and protect you.

I wished it had been me who died instead.

I would rather have

all the suffering fall upon me.

I don't want you

to go through any danger again.

It must've been your sincerity and piety

that moved God.

Throughout my journey,

I escaped danger at every turn.

See, I'm perfectly fine.

I hate myself so much.

I hate that I made you worry so much.

I hate that I was so bewitched

that I fell for Xia Jingshi.

I hate that the last time I saw you,

I broke your heart.

Brother,

I've made

too many foolish mistakes.

Not even my death

can make up for them.

You tried to make me see Xia Jingshi for who he was.

But I turned a deaf ear.

I was such a fool that I thought

I could change him.

But later I realized

how stupid I was.

But by the time I woke up,

it was already too late.

If I had come to my senses earlier,

I could have come back to you.

At least when you

went through all those things,

I could have been by your side.

But all I did was make you angry.

I've never done anything for you.

Listen to me.

I have never blamed you.

When you're with me,

you can be willful; you can make mistakes;

you can do anything as you like.

Even if you make all hell break loose,

I've still got your back.

So let bygones

be bygones.

What matters most to me now

is that you can come back to me

safe and sound.

No.

Brother,

don't do anything.

I don't want to get you

into any more danger.

Having seen you again,

nothing else matters to me now.

I'm missing home.

I didn't even get

to see Father one last time.

I know.

I know it all.

Rest for tonight.

When the city gates open at dawn tomorrow,

I'll take you home.

Don't worry, Xiyang.

Come what may,

I'll always be by your side.

You should cherish this second chance

at life you've been given.

Why were you tailing me?

Xiao Weiran,

are you going to kill me?

We were like brothers.

Don't force my hand.

So there's finally a day

when you, Xiao Weiran, can't bring yourself to act.

You're not worthy of saying

"brother."

Do we, the Three Heroes of Jinxiu,

have to turn against each other?

How dare you mention the Three Heroes of Jinxiu?

Weren't you the first to draw your blade?

What are you doing in Shengjing City?

None of your business.

Feng Suige is also here, right?

I guess it's for Princess Xiyang.

Though I don't know

what you've been through,

we grew up together,

and with just one look from you, I can tell

that you're

no longer the Ning Fei I once knew.

But I can also tell

that you're still

the same Xiao Weiran as before,

still stubbornly

following your master, the Prince.

You're not

going to talk me out of this, are you?

You're overthinking.

You're hopeless

and beyond saving.

I won't waste my breath on you.

Where is Xia Jingshi?

Tell me where Xia Jingshi is.

What is he plotting?

I know him well.

Enduring all this and staying in Shengjing,

he must be up to something.

You shouldn't have

come to Shengjing City.

But since you're already here,

just stay out of it and don't ask around.

Xiao Weiran, you're implying something.

You're concerned about us.

Don't read too much into it.

I just want to advise you

to stop going against His Highness.

You've all

died once before.

Don't court death again.

So in your heart,

we're always your enemies.

Isn't that the truth?

You may leave.

Your encounter with us today

was purely a coincidence.

There's no old bond to reminisce about.

Never mind.

From now on,

we'll split up like strangers.

What else do you want to say?

It's not safe in Shengjing City.

Leave as soon as possible.

Weiran...

Let's go.

Hurry back to find Feng Suige.

Something big is about to happen in Shengjing City.

Alright.

Tong,

go get Xiyang

a new pillow.

She prefers soft ones.

Also,

go ask Yu Qi

for a sachet with turmeric fragrance

to put under her pillow.

Yes.

Your Highness, please rest assured,

I'll keep it in mind.

You may go.

Brother,

you actually remember all these details.

Of course.

Just stay here and take it easy.

Don't overthink things.

Just rest well.

Seeing you

just puts my mind at ease.

And I start to feel a bit tired.

Then get some good rest first.

I'll leave you alone.

[Hidden Dragon Mansion]

[Hidden Dragon Mansion]

By order of the Empress Dowager,

withdraw all the soldiers.

Let's go.

I'll be in charge of security here.

You saw Xiao Weiran?

He was in a hurry,

definitely still working for Xia Jingshi.

I asked him on purpose

what Xia Jingshi was planning.

I knew he wouldn't tell me.

I just wanted to see his reaction.

When I asked him,

he unconsciously avoided eye contact with me.

That's what he usually does when he's

hiding something.

In this case,

Xia Jingshi

is indeed planning something.

That's right.

And the Emperor of Jinxiu, Xia Jingyan,

takes pleasure in torturing Xia Jingshi.

If Xia Jingshi were

under his control,

he would have Xia Jingshi present

at his birthday celebration

just to humiliate him.

Xiao Weiran should be

by Xia Jingshi's side right now.

But today,

he appeared on the street.

If I'm not mistaken,

Xia Jingshi has now

broken loose

from Xia Jingyan's control.

Your analysis makes sense.

So what do you think

Xia Jingshi is planning?

What Xia Jingshi wants most

is to kill Xia Jingyan.

During the Qianqiu Festival,

Xia Jingyan will be away from the imperial palace,

making it his perfect chance to strike.

Xiao Weiran told us

to leave Shengjing quickly.

He must know

something big is about to happen.

Your Highness!

I was sending food

to Princess Xiyang,

but she's gone.

The Princess said

she had an agreement with that person

that if she went to meet him,

she could safely leave with you, Your Highness.

Hey, "that person"?

Who is that person?

Xia Jingyan.

If Xia Jingshi

plans to kill Xia Jingyan tonight...

This is bad.

Princess Xiyang is in danger.

I've kept my promise

to accompany you on your birthday.

If you dare

break our agreement,

I will personally lead troops to Susha

and get you back.

You cannot escape my grasp.

I hope you'll also keep your promise

and let us leave.

I asked you to stay with me,

but I was just joking.

You actually took it seriously.

Do I lack women?

Do you really think

I can't bear to part with you?

I don't care how much is true or fake,

but I, Feng Xiyang,

always keep

my promises.

Anyway,

tomorrow is your birthday,

so I wish you all the best.

Wish me all the best?

I am the emperor.

I get whatever I want.

I can't be happier.

Do I even need your blessing?

You're the ruler of a nation,

but I feel you've never

truly been happy.

Who do you think you are?

How dare you comment on me?

Whether I'm happy or not

is not for you to judge!

Fine.

Then I wish from now on,

you can find joy and happiness.

Feng Xiyang,

give me a smile.

I have never

seen you smile at me.

Tomorrow I will leave.

And after that,

we will never meet again.

Your Highness.

[Hidden Dragon Mansion]

This is non-negotiable!

If you dare disobey,

I will certainly send troops to attack Susha.

Are you finished?

If you have anything else to say,

say it all now.

Feng Xiyang,

listen to me carefully.

To me, you are

no more than a plaything.

You're no different

from all those women

I've discarded.

Do you understand?

Your Majesty!

Run, Your Majesty!

Leave through the back door.

Get lost now!

Go.

[To Glorify the Past, Enrich the Future]

Your Majesty.

Where are you two going?

Tomorrow is your birthday, Your Majesty.

I wish you

eternal longevity,

health, and prosperity.

So it's really you, bastard.

Which idiot taught you

to give birthday wishes like that?

It seems that you

don't like these words, Your Majesty.

But that's nothing new.

Since childhood,

no matter what I say,

you've never liked it.

Then I shall mull over a few more phrases,

preparing to write them down in the future

and burn them for you in the grave.

You're here for me.

This has nothing to do with her.

Let her go first.

You have no say

over her life.

Xia Jingshi!

Are you crazy?

A bastard will always be a bastard.

Even if you bare your fangs,

you're still just a bastard.

Xia Jingshi!

Stop!

When you were doing evil,

did you ever expect this day to come?

I know very well what you want.

You torture me

because you want

to see me beg for mercy on my knees,

to see me beg you like a wretch.

Keep dreaming.

I, Xia Jingyan, may never have been

a proper emperor for a single day.

But I know

that as an emperor,

I must never yield.

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

An emperor has his pride.

A sovereign has his dignity.

I am the ruler of Jinxiu.

If my backbone breaks,

then Jinxiu's backbone breaks.

My kneeling

will also bring Jinxiu to its knees.

Even if you kill me,

you will forever remain

a treacherous usurper.

A bastard like you

will never understand

what it means to be a sovereign.

Even if you cut me into pieces,

you will never hear me let out

a single cry

of submission or a plea for mercy.

Bastard.

Bastard.

Enough!

Xia Jingshi,

how much longer are you

going to torture him?

You're pleading for him?

When he humiliated others,

who ever pleaded for them?

When he casually

sentenced someone to death,

who ever pleaded for those people?

Feng Xiyang,

you should know

that you're pleading

for a demon whose fingers are covered

in blood.

Feng Xiyang,

give me a smile.

I've never seen it.

Just one smile.

With your smile,

I can die without regrets.

♪ Don't cry, don't cry ♪

♪ I'll remember the way home ♪

So your smile looks this awful.

♪ Don't cry, don't cry ♪

♪ I'll find the way home ♪

Xia Jingshi,

what are you doing?

Xia Jingshi,

you want to kill me, don't you?

I never thought about killing you.

But your only mistake was

becoming his woman.

Xia Jingshi,

come at me.

Let her go.

I beg you.

I'm begging you to let her...

Let her go.

I beg you.

Please.

Didn't you claim to never yield?

I beg you!

Didn't you

have the dignity of a sovereign?

Let her go...

I beg you.

Please.

I beg you to let her go.

I am the one who should be

the Emperor of Jinxiu.

Let me teach you how to be one.

Take him away.

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

[Serene Abode]

What time is it now?

It's almost midnight, Your Majesty.

It's been quite a while.

The Prince of Zhennan

should have made it by now.

But somehow,

I have

a bad feeling.

You haven't been resting well lately, Your Majesty.

Perhaps we should return to the palace?

No,

I want to see that bitch die

with my own eyes.

As long as she's alive,

I just can't have a moment's peace.

Greetings, Your Eminence.

Your Eminence,

is the great undertaking about to commence?

Are you all ready?

Your Eminence, just give the order.

We'll fulfill it even at the cost of our lives.

[Hidden Dragon Mansion]

Xiyang!

Xiyang!

Xiyang.

Brother.

What happened?

It was Xia Jingshi.

It was Xia...

Hold on, Xiyang.

Hang in there.

I'll take you to see the physician.

Just hang in there a bit longer.

Xia Jingshi

killed Xia Jingyan

and took Xia Jingyan's body away.

H-He went that way.

They just left.

You save Xiyang first.

I'll take people to go after him.

Yixiao!

Go help her.

Yes.

Hang on, Xiyang.

Yu Qi!

-Hurry! -Yes.

Wait.

Go and send a message

to all Susha spies hiding in Shengjing.

Tell them to find Fu Yixiao as soon as possible

and ensure her safety at all costs.

Understood.

Your Majesty,

the Prince of Zhennan is back.

Bring him in.

Yes!

Greetings, Mother.

Did you kill that guy?

Yes, Mother.

We've

killed that person.
