[Fated Hearts]

[Episode 38]

Did you kill her?

Mother,

we've

killed her.

Good.

Very good.

Prince of Zhennan,

you really didn't disappoint me.

I've never forgotten

your kindness,

and I dare not slack

in meeting your expectations.

It is my honor

to help ease your burdens.

Good boy.

I know your filial devotion.

Hurry.

Rise and speak.

Thank you, Mother.

Bring it in.

Mother,

I have brought her

back to you.

You wretch,

your miserable state today

is what you get for opposing me.

Open it.

Let me see.

Jingyan!

Jingyan!

Jingyan!

Jingyan!

What's wrong with you, Jingyan?

Wake up.

Jingyan, wake up!

Jingyan!

Jingyan!

Mother,

are you satisfied

with my filial devotion?

His Majesty...

His Majesty is dead!

His Majesty has passed away!

Jingyan!

It was you.

Xia Jingshi!

Kill him.

Kill him!

Kill!

You...

You're committing treason!

You dog!

I have long wanted you dead!

Heaven shows no mercy,

and darkness draws near.

Only you

can save all living beings.

You...

You...

Protect me!

Guards!

Protect me!

The Jinxiu Royal Guards' Whistling Flare?

They only use it

in dire emergencies.

It must be Xia Jingshi causing trouble over there.

Let's go.

Protect me.

Guards!

Guards!

Protect me!

Guards!

Mother,

isn't it enough that I'm here

to protect you?

Xia Jingshi,

I'll kill you!

Why are you so angry, Mother?

Isn't this

what you want?

Xia Jingshi,

you heartless,

ungrateful traitor.

I treated you as my own,

yet you repaid kindness with betrayal!

Give me back my Jingyan.

Give me back my Jingyan!

You treated me as your own?

Would you

feed poison

to your own child?

Xia Jingshi, have you forgotten?

You're only alive because I give you

the antidote every month.

Are you insane?

How dare you hold a grudge against me?

Should I be grateful instead?

Do you know how long I've waited

for this day?

Do you know

how long I've waited

to see you crawl at my feet,

begging for mercy?

Cry. Scream.

If you don't cry or scream,

how can I feel satisfied?

Xia Jingshi, you're heartless.

Everyone wanted you dead,

but I spared your life.

You're insane.

I should've killed you long ago!

Otherwise,

my Jingyan wouldn't have died.

Mother,

that's quite unfair.

I once swore

that one day

I would repay kindness and avenge hatred.

Mother, I have never forgotten

your kindness.

Today,

I'm here to repay it.

Mother,

do you know

what I just fed you?

It's a poison

I prepared especially for you.

Xia Jingshi,

you vile, rotten bastard!

After taking this poison,

you'd better not get too agitated,

or your blood will surge

and flow faster.

Mother,

I don't want you to die too quickly.

What do you want?

What do I want?

Back then, when you poisoned me,

you didn't take my life right away.

So now, to show my filial piety,

I won't

take yours right away either.

You have 10 to 15 minutes.

Within that time,

the poison

will spread through your entire body,

gradually

corroding your organs.

Your heart, liver, and lungs

will all dissolve into blood.

You'll feel pain

in every part of your body,

unable to live or die as you wish.

See how filial I am?

You tormented me for so many years,

but I'll torment you

for just 10 to 15 minutes.

Your Eminence!

Your Highness,

the Imperial Guards have fired the Whistling Flare.

Their reinforcements could arrive any moment.

Protect His Highness!

Yixiao?

Yixiao is here.

Yixiao,

you've come at the perfect time.

This is the most important

moment of my life.

I'm glad

you're here to witness it

and be with me.

How many more people

must die

for this so-called important moment of yours?

No, no.

I think there's a misunderstanding between us.

Now that my great revenge is finally complete,

I can finally clear up

all these misunderstandings with you.

There's so much

I want to say to you.

There's no need.

I only have one thing to say:

those who commit too many evil deeds will destroy themselves.

What is "evil?"

I rid Jinxiu

of a tyrannical ruler.

How is that evil?

I endured years

of pain and humiliation,

and now I've paid it

all back in full.

How is that evil?

As the eldest son of Jinxiu's late emperor,

I took back

what was rightfully mine.

How is that evil?

Haven't you always wanted to know

why I was poisoned?

It was all thanks to her.

To seize my throne,

she poisoned me

and drove me out of Shengjing.

I hate her to the bone.

But every month

when I had to get the antidote,

I had to beg her

like a dog.

What for?

I just wanted to live.

I wanted to survive!

Yes.

I know

my hands are stained with

the blood of countless innocent people.

But I had no choice.

This path I've taken

is one I must walk through

mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

So,

I don't care how many people I kill.

Yixiao,

now that I've told you all this,

can you understand me?

I didn't tell you before

because I didn't want my suffering

to become your pain.

Your suffering

has become your obsession.

You believe that since you're in hell,

everyone else should

be dragged there too.

But you don't know

you've become a prisoner of that obsession.

Do you really want

to make me your enemy?

It seems you still

have no intention of repenting.

Then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Your Highness,

we're out of time!

Yixiao,

I don't believe you will kill me.

I don't believe you actually will!

-Yixiao... -Your Highness, let's go!

Let's hurry back

and meet up with Feng Suige.

Okay.

Please rest assured.

Her wounds have been treated.

Her life will no longer be in danger.

She just needs proper rest to recover.

Thank you for your help.

See the doctor out

and reward him generously.

Yes.

I'll take my leave.

Doctor,

this way, please.

When I just woke up,

I heard your conversation with the doctor.

He said the child in my womb

was gone

and that

I'll never be able to have children again.

Don't think about that now.

Just focus on recovery.

Don't worry, Xiyang.

I will definitely tear Xia Jingshi

to pieces.

Whether Xia Jingshi lives or dies

no longer matters to me,

and not being able to have children

doesn't matter either.

I'm sorry, Xiyang.

I failed to protect you.

But don't be afraid.

As long as I'm here,

all of this will pass.

Your Highness,

Miss Yixiao and her group have returned.

Thank you. Thank you.

You helped me

get rid of that tyrant,

which has finally lifted the hatred from my heart.

Do you really want

to make me your enemy?

It seems you still

have no intention of repenting.

Then don't blame me for being ruthless.

I don't believe

you will actually kill me!

Please rise.

Now that the Emperor and Empress Dowager have been executed,

Your Highness, as the eldest son of the late emperor

and an accomplished general,

you are the only choice for the throne.

When the His Highness ascends the throne,

everything you've done

will be rewarded.

Your Highness,

what are your plans next?

You must have come to me to entrust a matter to me.

I am at your service even at the cost of my life.

Yes.

We will leave Shengjing immediately

and return to Pingling City.

During this time,

we need you to mediate in the court

and help us win over the ministers.

Shengjing is now without a leader

and desperately needs you to take control of the situation.

You're leaving at this time?

Do you think

he will return to Pingling City?

It's possible.

The Emperor and Empress Dowager are dead.

Only Xia Jingshi

is qualified to succeed the throne.

Once the news of their deaths

spreads,

Shengjing City will surely fall into chaos.

In the capital region,

there are still

some ministers who hold military power.

They will surely harbor treasonous thoughts.

When he returns with his army

to Shengjing,

no one will be able

to stop him from taking the throne.

Then I will stay in Shengjing City

waiting for your return.

No.

I'm not leaving.

Your Highness,

according to our plan,

we should return to Pingling City

after we succeed.

Mr. Wang, you may leave us now.

Yes.

I'm staying here.

I have

something more important to do.

I never imagined

Xia Jingshi held

so much hatred in his heart,

and that he's carried it for so many years.

He is even more patient and enduring

than I thought.

Whatever he wants to do,

he will do it at any cost.

Even if he kills

all the Imperial Guards from before,

what about us?

Isn't he afraid

we'll expose

his regicide?

Exactly.

Who would believe us?

With Weiran's tactics,

he would surely label Yixiao and me

as

traitorous generals who defected to Susha.

You are from Susha.

We, the people of Jinxiu,

naturally trust the Prince of Zhennan who protects our land

more than you.

Xia Jingshi won't leave.

As you just said,

whatever he wants to do,

he will do it at any cost.

What he wants most right now

is probably to kill me.

As long as I'm still here,

he won't leave.

Your Highness, how could you

stay just to kill Feng Suige?

He destroyed my Yixiao.

I will tear him to pieces.

Your Highness!

The look Yixiao gave me today

was familiar.

That's how she looks at enemies.

Yixiao and I

have faced death together countless times

and trusted each other

with our backs on the battlefield.

Whenever someone hurt me,

Yixiao would give them

a hateful stare.

But today,

I was the one she hated.

Your Highness,

Yixiao has already

become our enemy.

No.

Yixiao has never

been my enemy.

I could have won Yixiao back.

I could have waited

until my plan succeeded

and then told her

why I did everything.

I could have

earned her forgiveness

and had her return to my side.

But Feng Suige...

Feng Suige changed her.

If it weren't for Feng Suige...

Without Feng Suige,

Yixiao wouldn't

be like this now.

Now that my great revenge is complete,

I could have

taken back everything that was mine—

the throne, the realm, my dignity, my freedom.

But I will never

get Yixiao back.

Yixiao never belonged to anyone.

She belongs to me!

If not for Feng Suige,

no matter what happened

between us,

she would never have left me.

Feng Suige...

I will kill Feng Suige

and win Yixiao back.

Otherwise, what kind of victor am I?

Have you forgotten

how much hardship we've endured,

how much humiliation we've suffered,

and how much blood we've shed

to get here?

I'm begging you,

return to Pingling City

and bring the Zhennan Army back to reclaim the throne.

We're only one step away from success!

You can wait until you've secured the throne

before killing Feng Suige.

I will not leave this place either.

He wants to kill me.

And who said I don't want to kill him?

This is my best opportunity.

Once Feng Suige returns to Susha...

Once Xia Jingshi returns to Pingling,

who knows...

When we'll have another chance to kill him.

But I can't wait even one day.

Your Highness,

please reconsider it.

Weiran,

I've made up my mind.

Go back by yourself.

Go back to Pingling.

If I lose to Feng Suige,

the Zhennan Army will be yours.

I trust you.

With your abilities...

I'm not going anywhere.

Do you think I follow you

for wealth and glory?

Only I know

what you've been through.

Only I

have devoted myself wholeheartedly

to helping you reclaim everything.

I've given up

my two best brothers

and sworn to serve you to the death.

If you're right, I'm right.

If you're wrong, I'm wrong.

But what am I, Xiao Weiran, after all?

Am I a loyal man,

or just blindly obedient?

I've already betrayed my principles.

I cannot be disloyal too.

Since you've decided to stay,

I will stay as well.

Life or death, success or failure—

I will bear it all with you.

Okay.

We will not fail.

We will make sure Feng Suige dies

with no grave to his name.

Your Highness.

I just found out

that Wang Encheng, the Minister of Revenue,

has somehow obtained information

and spread the news that the Emperor

and the Empress Dowager were dead.

He said they were assassinated.

Now they are searching the whole city for the culprit.

It must have been Xia Jingshi

who deliberately spread the news.

Xia Jingshi has gone to the royal ancestral residence.

It's said that

tomorrow he will perform

a ritual to honor the ancestors

as the eldest son of the late emperor.

I know what he's planning.

Xia Jingyan has no heir.

The late emperor only had Xia Jingshi

and Xia Jingyan as sons.

By going to perform the ancestral rites now,

he intends to

temporarily take control of Jinxiu

as the late emperor's descendant.

But this will invite criticism.

And it's not Xia Jingshi's style.

There must be a trick.

Yu Qi.

Gather all Susha agents

in Shengjing City

to join me in killing Xia Jingshi.

Yes.

[Hidden Dragon Mansion]

[Hidden Dragon Mansion]

Kill!

Kill!

[To Glorify the Past, Enrich the Future]

[To Glorify the Past, Enrich the Future]

Don't harm Yixiao!

Don't blame me, Yixiao.

I can't let you stop His Highness!

Feng Suige.

I've been waiting for you.

You revealed your location on purpose

just to issue a challenge, didn't you?

You know

I'd come

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

even if it's the tiger's den,

because I'm determined

to take your head myself.

This is the ancestral home of the Jinxiu royal family.

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

Ancestors watching from Heaven,

everything I've done

was for Jinxiu.

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

I have no shame before my ancestors.

Today,

I will kill you

in front of my ancestors.

When you secretly colluded with the enemy,

and when you repaid kindness with betrayal

as Susha's Prince Consort,

did you ever think

how you'd face your ancestors?

Kill!

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

How could you...

How could you

really try to kill Yixiao?

She's your brother, Weiran.

Heaven has been kind to me.

Dying at your hands

is worth it.

Weiran.

In this life,

I lost the chance to turn back long ago.

If there's a next life,

I hope you

won't despise me

and still accept me as your brother.

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

[To Glorify the Past, Enrich the Future]

This stab...

is for Xiyang.

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

You got hurt.

It's nothing.

I didn't expect

you would really kill me.

I've returned to you the arrow

you once shot at me.

In my life,

my only mistake

was shooting that arrow at you.

I used to think

that seizing the throne

was the most important thing to me.

But when I saw you

fall off that cliff,

I realized

you were the most important to me.

[Lasting Kinship, Through the Ages]

Your Highness.

We've killed everyone outside.

What shall we do next?

Let's go home.

[Yujing City, Susha Kingdom]

Greetings, Your Majesty.

His Majesty sent me

to inform you

that the First Prince will soon return to Yujing to ascend the throne.

His Majesty wishes for you to go to the imperial tomb

to accompany the late emperor.

Your Majesty, please make preparations.

I've brought some palace maids

to help you get ready

and pack your

personal clothes

and daily necessities.

Get out of here!

Out!

Wei Qingyu...

in the end, you won.

Feng Pingcheng,

you've deceived me your entire life.

And now you want me to accompany you?

Dream on!

[Shousheng Palace]

Where is the Empress Dowager?

Is she ready?

Her Majesty...

Your Majesty,

Her Majesty

has driven us all out.

She's been alone in there for a long time.

[Shousheng Palace]

Mother,

are you ready?

[Shousheng Palace]

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

[Wutong Mansion]

Come, pour wine for me.

Fill my cup.

Let me tell you...

Commander Lu.

The heroine Fu Yixiao

and Feng Suige, the Killer God of Susha—

they

worked together to end the war between two nations.

When the new Emperor of Jinxiu ascended the throne,

he wanted to title Fu Yixiao as King of Pingling,

commanding the Zhennan Army.

Guess what happened?

-What happened? -What happened?

Fu Yixiao

refused the title.

She asked the Emperor to use all the rewards

to help those in need.

Such courage, such vision—

are you impressed?

Yes!

So impressed!

I'm impressed too. Come, cheers!

Well, well, well. Who's back?

General Lu!

You truly deserve the title

of Grand Commander of our Imperial Guards.

You look full of energy.

Are you on duty tonight?

Then you can't drink.

Really?

Not even one cup?

Yun Qing.

He has his duties.

Don't make such a fuss about it in the future.

Alright.

Indeed.

I'm a third-rank official

with important responsibilities.

My brother was promoted to a commander

in the Feng Battalion—

also third-rank.

Yes.

I heard about it.

No wonder I think

His Highness

is brilliant most of the time, but sometimes clueless.

You brat,

how did you manage to become a commander?

You brat.

I praised you a bit and you started showing off again,

huh?

I don't care if you're on duty or not.

Tonight,

I'd like to see who gets drunk first.

Let's go.

I quit drinking

after the celebration banquet

at the Storm Alliance.

Oh, right.

Save your appetite and eat more meat—

that's better than anything.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Ning Fei, you're here?

Hurry up and join us for a drink.

Have a drink with us.

Come on!

Maybe next time.

I've just rushed back

from the Storm Alliance day and night

so as not to delay

what your boss and Yixiao

entrusted to me.

You

must be eager to reunite

with Young Mistress Ling.

See?

I am. So what?

You

can just keep being jealous.

Look at him.

I have something to talk to you.

Have you relayed to Elder Lei

what His Highness asked you to?

Of course.

I told them that

it was the Kui Battalion of Susha

who hunted the Storm Alliance back then.

It was an order from Zhuang Shen.

The evidence is ironclad.

Right.

When Elder Zhang heard that Feng Suige

helped them take revenge,

she said she'd thank him in person

if she had the chance.

Really?

That's good then.

Then the matter with the Storm Alliance

is over now,

and the grudge of Elder Lei and the others

has finally been resolved.

I...

Look how eager you are.

Alright.

I'll help you pass this news

on to His Highness.

Hurry up and go now.

Look how eager you are.

Thank you.

Give my regards to them.

Sure.

Right?

While I've been away these days,

Xueying is taking care of 3 children alone.

You even have children now?

Three?

Don't talk nonsense.

They're not our children.

Alright, alright. You'd better go now.

If you're late, you won't even be able to enter your mansion.

Alright.

I'll be going then.

Go.

Wait...

Ning Fei, hold on.

Miss Yixiao

specially asked me

to prepare this for you.

Inside,

there's braised meat and wine,

and candies and preserves

that Nine, Fang, and Shunzi like.

Since you're out here,

don't go back empty-handed.

Where is Yixiao?

Do you even need to ask?

She's surely...

Reuniting with His Highness.

What are you thinking about?

The bustle of the world

and its splendor.

To you.

Why?

Jinxiu is in chaos,

with a weak prince ascending the throne.

It should have been

the perfect chance for you to attack Jinxiu.

But you agreed

with Jinxiu

that for ten years neither side

would attack so the people

could recover.

I should toast to you.

The novel Pei wrote about you

is selling like hotcakes.

The story of the heroine Fu Yixiao

has spread across the land.

Who doesn't know

how much you sacrificed

for this peace?

Do you really not want to be emperor?

Chengyang has gone to Youqi Temple

to live in seclusion.

He wanted to return the throne to you,

but you refused it.

Things are fine as they are now.

I want to wait 3 years

until the mourning period ends

before deciding the succession;

in the meantime Xiyang will handle state affairs.

Xiyang was previously

in complete despair.

Now, focusing on governance

and the people

is good for her

and for Susha.

If, after 3 years,

she likes it

and rules well,

I'll let her be the empress.
