[When Destiny Brings The Demon]

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,400
[Based on the JJWXC novel "When Destiny Brings The Demon" by Fu Hua]

21
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,280
[Episode 32]
[What I Gave You Is Yours to Do With as You Will]

22
00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:41,270
The demonic energy in me has driven me to kill?

23
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:43,840
Madam,

24
00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:45,520
may I come in to help you with your hair?

25
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:46,760
Wait outside for now.

26
00:01:47,290 --> 00:01:47,840
Yes.

27
00:01:49,650 --> 00:01:50,270
Liangchen,

28
00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:53,120
have you heard anything about what happened in the palace?

29
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:55,850
I just heard

30
00:01:56,090 --> 00:01:58,040
that all the birds in the harem died overnight.

31
00:02:00,140 --> 00:02:01,270
Could it have been my doing?

32
00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:05,710
Is my demon core

33
00:02:05,730 --> 00:02:06,840
acting up again?

34
00:02:08,260 --> 00:02:09,520
I have to see Master.

35
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:17,710
Father?

36
00:02:18,820 --> 00:02:21,240
I heard you went to see Madam Yan?

37
00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:25,430
I sent you letter after letter warning you

38
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:26,840
to stay away from her.

39
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:28,120
Why didn't you listen?

40
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:29,520
But you once told me

41
00:02:29,860 --> 00:02:31,590
to win His Majesty's favor to keep him under control.

42
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:32,920
I just wanted to put Madam Yan

43
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:33,840
in her place

44
00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:35,150
so she'd stop competing with me.

45
00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:36,800
That was then. Things are different now.

46
00:02:36,820 --> 00:02:38,400
This is not the time to fight for favor.

47
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:40,080
Just do as I say.

48
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:43,360
I only want to keep you safe.

49
00:02:44,050 --> 00:02:46,590
This is an artifact I obtained from an immortal.

50
00:02:47,660 --> 00:02:48,590
Keep it with you.

51
00:02:49,220 --> 00:02:50,030
It will protect you.

52
00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:13,270
Your Majesty, the demonic energy in your demon core

53
00:03:14,010 --> 00:03:15,240
is indeed beginning to stir.

54
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:16,960
Those birds died

55
00:03:18,010 --> 00:03:19,520
because of it.

56
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:22,680
Fortunately,

57
00:03:23,330 --> 00:03:24,990
I have devised a prescription

58
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:28,030
that can temporarily suppress the energy.

59
00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:29,430
What if it grows so strong

60
00:03:29,450 --> 00:03:31,120
we can no longer control it?

61
00:03:31,730 --> 00:03:33,030
What then?

62
00:03:33,820 --> 00:03:35,840
You would need to give up all your cultivation.

63
00:03:37,010 --> 00:03:37,550
Only then

64
00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:41,710
would the demon core in your body become inert,

65
00:03:42,260 --> 00:03:43,360
unable to control you.

66
00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:48,120
But your cultivation

67
00:03:50,450 --> 00:03:51,710
would vanish as well.

68
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:55,310
If I lose all my cultivation, I won't be able to protect Sima Jiao.

69
00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:57,920
But if I fall under the demon core's control

70
00:03:58,490 --> 00:03:59,590
and become You Yan's pawn,

71
00:04:01,890 --> 00:04:03,360
I will kill Sima Jiao with my own hands.

72
00:04:05,610 --> 00:04:07,080
That is You Yan's scheme.

73
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:12,470
Is there truly no other way

74
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:14,120
out of this trap?

75
00:04:18,490 --> 00:04:20,470
The Spirit Fire and the demon core restrain each other,

76
00:04:20,730 --> 00:04:22,400
but the demon core can break free one day

77
00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:25,030
and completely suppress the Spirit Fire.

78
00:04:25,690 --> 00:04:27,350
If you do not want to lose your cultivation,

79
00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:30,560
you must instead strengthen the Spirit Fire within you.

80
00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:31,440
How?

81
00:04:32,020 --> 00:04:34,880
By burning it with your own blood as fuel.

82
00:04:36,290 --> 00:04:38,270
But that would be like using poison as medicine.

83
00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:42,150
And if you wish to suppress the demon core entirely,

84
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:43,150
I fear...

85
00:04:46,050 --> 00:04:48,150
I fear it would take your very bones and blood as a sacrifice.

86
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:52,560
Your life itself would burn away.

87
00:04:58,100 --> 00:04:59,320
Jiao told me

88
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:02,400
that you were a goddess descending to earth,

89
00:05:03,460 --> 00:05:04,880
fated with him from a past life.

90
00:05:06,980 --> 00:05:08,350
He also said that the canal

91
00:05:08,370 --> 00:05:10,030
couldn't have been built without your help.

92
00:05:11,290 --> 00:05:14,200
I couldn't help but wonder: could Jiao and I

93
00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:16,910
also share a bond from a former life?

94
00:05:21,810 --> 00:05:24,560
In your past lives, Your Majesty and His Majesty were also mother and son.

95
00:05:30,810 --> 00:05:32,910
I believe his rebirth in this world

96
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:34,470
was to follow you here

97
00:05:35,250 --> 00:05:36,760
so that he could be with you again.

98
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:39,560
Really?

99
00:05:44,050 --> 00:05:45,760
What a sweet girl you are.

100
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:47,590
Seeing how fond Jiao is of you,

101
00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:50,880
I am sure he will make you Empress once he completes

102
00:05:51,020 --> 00:05:52,520
his coming-of-age ceremony.

103
00:05:53,580 --> 00:05:54,270
After that,

104
00:05:54,780 --> 00:05:56,350
you will both take part in the worship ritual,

105
00:05:56,860 --> 00:05:58,030
and I can finally

106
00:05:58,340 --> 00:05:59,440
put my worries to rest.

107
00:06:00,580 --> 00:06:01,230
Your Majesty,

108
00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:02,640
do you mean

109
00:06:03,020 --> 00:06:05,440
that the empress may also enter the Hushan Hall for the rite?

110
00:06:05,690 --> 00:06:06,400
Of course.

111
00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:10,270
The Emperor and Empress must go together into Hushan Hall to perform the ritual.

112
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:12,400
It has been the tradition of the Hu Kingdom

113
00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:13,640
for generations.

114
00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:15,080
After the ritual,

115
00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:17,960
Jiao will formally inherit

116
00:06:18,340 --> 00:06:19,910
the jade seal kept in the hall

117
00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:23,270
and truly become the emperor of Hu.

118
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,810
[Ziquan Palace]

119
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:31,440
Your Majesty,

120
00:06:32,020 --> 00:06:33,270
must the worship ritual wait

121
00:06:33,290 --> 00:06:34,670
until after the wedding?

122
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:36,710
The ritual can only happen

123
00:06:37,610 --> 00:06:38,400
after the coming-of-age ceremony

124
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:39,960
and then the wedding.

125
00:06:40,220 --> 00:06:42,960
This has always been the tradition of the Hu Kingdom.

126
00:06:44,490 --> 00:06:45,590
Why do you suddenly ask?

127
00:06:45,690 --> 00:06:47,790
Your Majesty, I helped you accomplish

128
00:06:47,810 --> 00:06:49,880
something as great as the canal.

129
00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:52,960
By merit alone, shouldn't I already be named Empress?

130
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:57,640
Could you name me Empress right after your coming-of-age ceremony?

131
00:07:00,540 --> 00:07:01,200
Thank you, Your Majesty.

132
00:07:01,290 --> 00:07:02,320
It will be you sooner or later.

133
00:07:03,170 --> 00:07:04,320
Why are you in such a hurry?

134
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:06,840
I...

135
00:07:14,020 --> 00:07:14,470
What's wrong?

136
00:07:19,490 --> 00:07:20,320
You're burning up.

137
00:07:20,810 --> 00:07:22,110
No need to worry, Your Majesty.

138
00:07:22,610 --> 00:07:23,840
I only need a little rest.

139
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:28,640
I once dreamed

140
00:07:30,290 --> 00:07:31,230
of fire

141
00:07:33,170 --> 00:07:34,590
raging in my body.

142
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:38,520
It looked exactly like you now.

143
00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:43,590
Back then, I couldn't truly understand your pain.

144
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:46,970
It was only after I carried

145
00:07:46,970 --> 00:07:49,520
the Spirit Fire refined from your soul

146
00:07:50,050 --> 00:07:51,080
that I finally understood

147
00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:54,960
how deep your suffering had been.

148
00:08:01,460 --> 00:08:02,110
How did I

149
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:05,790
ease the pain at that time?

150
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:11,710
I would do this.

151
00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:29,150
And once,

152
00:08:30,220 --> 00:08:32,200
I even brought snowfall for Your Majesty.

153
00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaking of which, it's been so long since I last saw snow.

154
00:08:37,730 --> 00:08:38,840
When it snows again,

155
00:08:40,340 --> 00:08:41,280
I will be there with you.

156
00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:42,440
Great.

157
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:47,350
When it is only

158
00:08:47,370 --> 00:08:48,470
the two of us,

159
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:51,200
may I stop calling you

160
00:08:51,770 --> 00:08:53,160
"Your Majesty"?

161
00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:55,040
I think

162
00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:55,590
that "you,"

163
00:08:55,940 --> 00:08:56,390
"me,"

164
00:08:56,650 --> 00:08:57,230
and "us"

165
00:08:57,860 --> 00:08:59,280
sound much more beautiful.

166
00:09:02,940 --> 00:09:03,560
I agree.
[*speaking formally]

167
00:09:09,220 --> 00:09:09,990
I agree.
[*speaking plainly]

168
00:09:16,060 --> 00:09:16,750
Does it still hurt?

169
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:45,040
You kissed me first.

170
00:09:46,180 --> 00:09:46,990
And I'm done kissing you.

171
00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:48,960
You don't decide when it ends.

172
00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:51,440
Don't be difficult.

173
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:52,870
Time for bed.

174
00:10:06,010 --> 00:10:07,230
Are you upset?

175
00:10:12,980 --> 00:10:13,560
No.

176
00:10:15,490 --> 00:10:17,840
Isn't it nice to just chat under the quilt

177
00:10:18,770 --> 00:10:20,040
like this?

178
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:22,440
If you touch me again,

179
00:10:23,530 --> 00:10:24,680
I can't promise

180
00:10:25,980 --> 00:10:27,920
it will only be talking under the quilt.

181
00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:30,920
That's fine.

182
00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:32,710
I will make sure it is.

183
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:42,800
You're cheating.

184
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:53,800
Why won't you let me get close to you?

185
00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:00,510
I have my reason.

186
00:11:02,730 --> 00:11:05,920
Then why can't you tell me the reason?

187
00:11:06,650 --> 00:11:07,920
It isn't time yet.

188
00:11:09,890 --> 00:11:11,000
Then when will it be time?

189
00:11:13,170 --> 00:11:13,790
Tell me,

190
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:15,270
do you know what a Soul Manor is?

191
00:11:19,530 --> 00:11:20,000
I don't.

192
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:23,720
Then just sleep under the quilt.

193
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:25,640
After the worship ritual,

194
00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:26,910
you'll know.

195
00:11:52,460 --> 00:11:53,840
"Meet me at the lakeside at the Chou hour.

196
00:11:54,650 --> 00:11:55,230
Nianjiu."

197
00:11:57,580 --> 00:11:59,630
Nianjiu would never send me a note.

198
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:01,230
This is obviously fake.

199
00:12:02,460 --> 00:12:04,630
At least learn from real scammers before trying this.

200
00:12:05,820 --> 00:12:07,920
Next time, send me a message first.

201
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:09,510
Don't just barge into my chamber.

202
00:12:11,490 --> 00:12:13,710
I once told Nianjiu to send me a message first

203
00:12:13,730 --> 00:12:15,040
if he found You Yan's trace.

204
00:12:17,340 --> 00:12:18,560
Did he really find it?

205
00:13:02,180 --> 00:13:03,390
That demon, Liao Tingyan,

206
00:13:03,890 --> 00:13:05,080
has bewitched His Majesty,

207
00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:08,110
and now she's even used sorcery to deceive the world!

208
00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:11,160
What... what's that?

209
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:27,200
"Come to the Ziquan Palace lakeside alone at the Chou hour,

210
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,650
[Come to the Ziquan Palace lakeside]

211
00:13:28,650 --> 00:13:30,320
or your entire clan will be killed."

212
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:35,840
This is outrageous.

213
00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:37,440
Go.

214
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:40,990
Fetch my cloak and Demon-Revealing Mirror.

215
00:13:41,410 --> 00:13:43,080
Madam, you mustn't go.

216
00:13:43,370 --> 00:13:44,560
With the mirror, what do I have to fear?

217
00:13:45,370 --> 00:13:47,040
I will make His Majesty and the Empress Dowager

218
00:13:47,530 --> 00:13:49,160
see that demon's true colors!

219
00:13:49,860 --> 00:13:50,470
Listen,

220
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:52,990
if I haven't returned within two hours,

221
00:13:53,820 --> 00:13:54,960
take people to look for me.

222
00:13:55,250 --> 00:13:55,750
Do you understand?

223
00:13:56,530 --> 00:13:57,040
Yes.

224
00:14:16,980 --> 00:14:18,110
How did I fall asleep?

225
00:14:20,730 --> 00:14:21,510
Where is Nianjiu?

226
00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:28,560
There she is!

227
00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:35,990
Blood...

228
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:38,470
So much blood!

229
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:52,470
Your Majesty.

230
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:53,800
Your Majesty,

231
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:56,050
we found Noble Consort Si Xian's body

232
00:14:56,180 --> 00:14:57,800
in Madam Yan's palace.

233
00:14:58,220 --> 00:14:59,870
Her blood was completely drained,

234
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:02,920
and her flesh looked as though it had been eaten clean by a beast.

235
00:15:03,180 --> 00:15:04,590
Can you determine the time of death?

236
00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:06,230
Roughly during the Chou hour.

237
00:15:06,530 --> 00:15:08,230
That matches the testimony

238
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:09,590
from her maid and guards.

239
00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:10,680
Your Majesty,

240
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:13,920
all signs point

241
00:15:15,980 --> 00:15:16,470
to Madam Yan...

242
00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:17,230
Chen Tang,

243
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:21,280
you compared the handwriting on these two notes yourself.

244
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,280
Can't you see this is a deliberate frame-up?

245
00:15:23,860 --> 00:15:24,350
Your Majesty,

246
00:15:25,770 --> 00:15:26,960
if this is a frame-up,

247
00:15:28,890 --> 00:15:29,750
why was there blood

248
00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:33,160
on Madam Yan's clothing?

249
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:34,750
That is what you should be investigating.

250
00:15:38,220 --> 00:15:38,840
Your Majesty,

251
00:15:39,250 --> 00:15:40,320
to uncover the truth quickly,

252
00:15:40,820 --> 00:15:42,510
I beg Your Majesty

253
00:15:44,650 --> 00:15:46,920
to order Madam Yan held in detention pending trial.

254
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:48,920
Chen Tang,

255
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:53,870
have you grown tired of being Minister of Justice?

256
00:15:58,580 --> 00:16:00,280
As long as I serve in this position,

257
00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:02,560
I will carry out my duty to the fullest.

258
00:16:05,250 --> 00:16:05,750
Your Majesty,

259
00:16:09,530 --> 00:16:10,680
in order to clear my name,

260
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,960
please grant Minister Chen's request

261
00:16:13,490 --> 00:16:14,870
and allow me to be held in custody.

262
00:16:16,530 --> 00:16:16,960
No.

263
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:19,470
I will not let you be thrown in prison.

264
00:16:19,940 --> 00:16:21,040
My mind is made up.

265
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:24,040
Minister Chen, please lead the way.

266
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:39,350
This cell is cleaner than I expected.

267
00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:42,200
Is this really the time

268
00:16:42,530 --> 00:16:43,990
to care about that?

269
00:16:44,890 --> 00:16:45,440
Hongluo.

270
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:46,560
Nianjiu.

271
00:16:46,770 --> 00:16:47,230
Tingyan,

272
00:16:47,490 --> 00:16:48,630
why did you ask to be imprisoned

273
00:16:49,180 --> 00:16:50,350
over Noble Consort Si Xian's death?

274
00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:52,470
All the evidence

275
00:16:52,730 --> 00:16:54,840
points to me now.

276
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:56,960
If I let Sima Jiao defend me,

277
00:16:57,220 --> 00:16:59,280
it will stir resentment among the ministers

278
00:16:59,820 --> 00:17:01,280
and give the Marquis of Nanyan an opening.

279
00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:03,510
By choosing imprisonment myself,

280
00:17:03,970 --> 00:17:05,800
I at least lessen suspicion.

281
00:17:06,740 --> 00:17:07,280
Besides,

282
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:09,870
I fear You Yan may try something

283
00:17:10,340 --> 00:17:11,870
to make my demon core lose control.

284
00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:14,430
It's safer for Sima Jiao if I stay away.

285
00:17:19,690 --> 00:17:20,760
That must be Sima Jiao.

286
00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:21,670
You two should go.

287
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:46,080
You came just like this?

288
00:17:46,540 --> 00:17:47,630
No guards at all?

289
00:17:49,890 --> 00:17:51,150
What if I really were an evil demon?

290
00:17:54,410 --> 00:17:56,040
If you truly were a monster who kills and drinks blood,

291
00:17:56,740 --> 00:17:57,760
why would you target others?

292
00:17:59,540 --> 00:18:01,280
Wouldn't the Heaven's chosen sleeping beside you

293
00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:03,630
be far more delicious?

294
00:18:08,370 --> 00:18:08,950
Come.

295
00:18:09,210 --> 00:18:10,080
Let's go back together.

296
00:18:11,210 --> 00:18:12,950
I will not let you stay in this filthy place.

297
00:18:13,340 --> 00:18:13,720
No.

298
00:18:16,410 --> 00:18:17,150
If I leave,

299
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,320
the ministers will protest.

300
00:18:33,090 --> 00:18:36,480
Noble Consort Si Xian's death could never have been Madam Yan's doing.

301
00:18:37,020 --> 00:18:38,310
For all your learning,

302
00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:40,270
you still cannot read people,

303
00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:42,240
and you imprisoned her?

304
00:18:42,940 --> 00:18:43,440
Your Majesty,

305
00:18:44,090 --> 00:18:44,440
it was...

306
00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:47,110
it was Madam Yan who asked to be imprisoned.

307
00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:49,310
Nevertheless, this has indeed

308
00:18:49,940 --> 00:18:51,240
helped prove her innocence.

309
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,270
The schemers

310
00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:56,350
will not set aside their hatred

311
00:18:56,890 --> 00:18:58,200
just because of that.

312
00:18:58,780 --> 00:18:59,310
Do you understand?

313
00:19:02,890 --> 00:19:03,400
Yi Huo,

314
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:07,240
visit the Marquis of Nanyan's manor more often these days.

315
00:19:07,850 --> 00:19:08,550
I fear

316
00:19:09,290 --> 00:19:10,870
he will put all the blame for Noble Consort Si Xian's death

317
00:19:11,370 --> 00:19:12,960
on Madam Yan

318
00:19:13,530 --> 00:19:14,640
and try something rash.

319
00:19:15,530 --> 00:19:16,920
I will. Don't worry, Your Majesty.

320
00:19:19,530 --> 00:19:20,070
Chen Tang,

321
00:19:21,940 --> 00:19:24,310
keep investigating Noble Consort Si Xian's death.

322
00:19:24,890 --> 00:19:25,310
Yes.

323
00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:27,030
Also,

324
00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:32,950
see to it that the prison food is well prepared,

325
00:19:33,610 --> 00:19:36,080
and that her bedding is clean and comfortable.

326
00:19:40,450 --> 00:19:40,800
Understood.

327
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:52,520
- Let go of me! - Let go!

328
00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:53,000
Let...

329
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:55,040
Quiet!

330
00:19:55,930 --> 00:19:57,000
Let go of me!

331
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:10,520
Noble Consort Si Xian has only just died,

332
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,350
yet you have already gathered so many boys and girls.

333
00:20:13,740 --> 00:20:14,720
Thank you for your efforts.

334
00:20:17,930 --> 00:20:19,430
I never thought my daughter

335
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:22,480
would die at the hands of that demon, Liao Tingyan.

336
00:20:24,610 --> 00:20:26,630
If only I had acted sooner.

337
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:31,480
Now, she has died with hatred in her heart.

338
00:20:33,170 --> 00:20:35,760
I must eliminate that demon, Liao Tingyan,

339
00:20:36,450 --> 00:20:37,590
and avenge my daughter.

340
00:20:39,930 --> 00:20:42,950
I will bring you as many children as you need.

341
00:20:43,580 --> 00:20:44,520
Rest assured, my lord.

342
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:46,390
Just wait and see.

343
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:49,430
The Hu Kingdom is about to fall into great chaos.

344
00:20:50,410 --> 00:20:51,150
When that time comes,

345
00:20:51,740 --> 00:20:53,760
you will be the sovereign who restores order.

346
00:20:56,020 --> 00:20:58,840
Then I shall make Sima Jiao and that demon lady pay with their lives

347
00:20:59,970 --> 00:21:01,190
for my daughter's death.

348
00:21:03,930 --> 00:21:04,950
I await your good news, Madam.

349
00:21:33,130 --> 00:21:34,110
Liao Tingyan,

350
00:21:35,130 --> 00:21:37,720
this is the great gift I've prepared for you and Sima Jiao!

351
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,520
[Dushan County, Hu Kingdom]

352
00:22:36,130 --> 00:22:37,760
I took the medicine Master gave me,

353
00:22:38,340 --> 00:22:39,840
and the demonic energy was suppressed.

354
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:42,910
Why did it suddenly lose control?

355
00:23:23,260 --> 00:23:24,190
Mother!

356
00:23:27,340 --> 00:23:30,560
This sudden drought and famine

357
00:23:32,540 --> 00:23:34,080
must be You Yan's doing.

358
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:37,840
He did it to strengthen my demon core through resentment,

359
00:23:38,610 --> 00:23:40,800
and to undermine Sima Jiao's throne.

360
00:23:41,690 --> 00:23:43,720
The Spirit Fire and the demon core restrain each other,

361
00:23:44,580 --> 00:23:46,190
but the demon core can break free one day

362
00:23:47,060 --> 00:23:48,590
and completely suppress the Spirit Fire.

363
00:23:49,450 --> 00:23:51,150
If you do not want to lose your cultivation,

364
00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:54,430
you must instead strengthen the Spirit Fire within you

365
00:23:55,740 --> 00:23:58,280
by burning it with your own blood as fuel.

366
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:01,430
But that would be like using poison as medicine.

367
00:24:02,370 --> 00:24:04,350
If you wish to suppress the demon core entirely,

368
00:24:04,820 --> 00:24:07,000
I fear it would take your very bones and blood as a sacrifice.

369
00:24:08,450 --> 00:24:11,720
Your life itself would burn away.

370
00:24:44,970 --> 00:24:45,630
Your Majesty,

371
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:47,720
a severe drought has struck Dushan County.

372
00:24:48,060 --> 00:24:49,430
Many people have starved to death.

373
00:24:49,970 --> 00:24:52,190
In several towns, bodies of boys and girls

374
00:24:52,210 --> 00:24:54,630
were found in rice fields, gnawed upon.

375
00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:58,840
It seems the starving people have begun

376
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:00,720
to exchange children for food.

377
00:25:01,340 --> 00:25:02,910
Exchange children for food?

378
00:25:03,340 --> 00:25:05,480
What a convenient excuse, General.

379
00:25:07,170 --> 00:25:07,870
Your Majesty,

380
00:25:08,260 --> 00:25:09,040
I have investigated.

381
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:10,910
Those boys and girls

382
00:25:11,130 --> 00:25:12,760
had already gone missing before the drought.

383
00:25:13,340 --> 00:25:14,670
They appeared in the fields out of nowhere,

384
00:25:15,130 --> 00:25:17,720
and their manner of death is exactly the same as that of Noble Consort Si Xian.

385
00:25:18,410 --> 00:25:21,040
This must be the work of a demon.

386
00:25:21,970 --> 00:25:22,760
Your Majesty,

387
00:25:22,780 --> 00:25:25,480
I have been observing the heavens these days.

388
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:28,560
A demonic star has appeared above the palaces.

389
00:25:29,210 --> 00:25:32,040
This drought stemmed from that star.

390
00:25:32,610 --> 00:25:35,190
If left unchecked, it could bring the downfall of the kingdom.

391
00:25:35,580 --> 00:25:37,560
I implore Your Majesty

392
00:25:38,060 --> 00:25:40,760
to burn the demon lady, Liao Tingyan,

393
00:25:41,260 --> 00:25:42,670
and rid the people of this disaster.

394
00:26:04,210 --> 00:26:05,390
The imperial palace

395
00:26:06,820 --> 00:26:08,760
is not inhabited by Madam Yan alone.

396
00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:17,390
How do you know that this demonic star does not represent me?

397
00:26:20,450 --> 00:26:22,760
Your Majesty, your coming-of-age ceremony is imminent.

398
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:26,190
How can you still speak such nonsense?

399
00:26:26,970 --> 00:26:28,110
Doesn't my foolishness

400
00:26:29,060 --> 00:26:31,280
all the better highlight your wisdom?

401
00:26:31,930 --> 00:26:32,390
Your Majesty,

402
00:26:33,210 --> 00:26:34,670
have you grown so blinded by that demon lady

403
00:26:36,060 --> 00:26:38,590
that you can't even accept well-meaning advice?

404
00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:52,240
As I recall, just a while ago,

405
00:26:52,690 --> 00:26:57,350
all of you praised Madam Yan as a goddess descending to earth

406
00:26:58,370 --> 00:26:59,390
and a blessing to all.

407
00:27:00,210 --> 00:27:02,950
Now you revile her as a demon,

408
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:06,240
condemning her as a curse to the nation.

409
00:27:07,610 --> 00:27:08,830
You take salaries

410
00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:10,960
and occupy high positions,

411
00:27:11,780 --> 00:27:13,640
yet place the rise and fall of the Hu Kingdom

412
00:27:14,530 --> 00:27:15,920
on the shoulders of one woman.

413
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,440
And you still dare tell me that you are

414
00:27:25,260 --> 00:27:26,270
giving well-meaning advice?

415
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:32,350
General of the Household.

416
00:27:33,180 --> 00:27:33,720
Yes, Your Majesty.

417
00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:35,680
Open the granaries in Dushan County and distribute grain.

418
00:27:36,740 --> 00:27:38,030
Strengthen the defenses of the borders

419
00:27:39,050 --> 00:27:40,240
to prevent bandits from causing trouble.

420
00:27:41,330 --> 00:27:41,870
Understood.

421
00:27:42,370 --> 00:27:42,920
Chen Tang.

422
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:44,240
Yes, Your Majesty.

423
00:27:44,530 --> 00:27:47,270
Investigate the deaths of the boys and girls as well.

424
00:27:47,850 --> 00:27:49,160
Understood.

425
00:27:52,660 --> 00:27:53,310
Marquis of Nanyan.

426
00:27:57,460 --> 00:27:58,920
You have just lost your daughter.

427
00:28:00,130 --> 00:28:01,680
You should rest more.

428
00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:05,720
For the next few days, you need not attend court.

429
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:11,830
Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.

430
00:28:23,170 --> 00:28:24,520
You are so weak as a Soulshift cultivator.

431
00:28:24,930 --> 00:28:27,190
One block and you failed it.

432
00:28:28,450 --> 00:28:30,590
Grandmaster, do you want to have some?

433
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:32,110
Too sweet.

434
00:28:32,450 --> 00:28:34,350
Stop pretending. I can tell you want them.

435
00:28:35,210 --> 00:28:36,670
If you crave them, I'll let you have your fill.

436
00:28:40,130 --> 00:28:41,670
Zou Yan, stop slacking off.

437
00:28:50,370 --> 00:28:52,190
Why did I dream such strange things?

438
00:29:04,690 --> 00:29:05,280
It worked.

439
00:29:06,740 --> 00:29:09,080
The Spirit Fire has suppressed the demon core in me.

440
00:29:11,370 --> 00:29:13,280
What was so urgent you had to summon me?

441
00:29:14,170 --> 00:29:14,630
Sit.

442
00:29:17,370 --> 00:29:19,520
I want you to help Sima Jiao.

443
00:29:20,650 --> 00:29:21,800
Take some demonic cultivators

444
00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:23,840
and help ease the drought and famine in the mortal world.

445
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:27,760
Those mortals all think you are an evil demon,

446
00:29:28,210 --> 00:29:29,320
and you still want to help them?

447
00:29:31,020 --> 00:29:33,000
They have only been blinded by You Yan.

448
00:29:33,820 --> 00:29:34,870
The common people are innocent.

449
00:29:36,060 --> 00:29:36,630
Besides,

450
00:29:36,970 --> 00:29:37,800
if rain falls from the heavens,

451
00:29:38,170 --> 00:29:40,080
it will silence the rumors that I am an evil demon.

452
00:29:40,690 --> 00:29:41,320
Fine.

453
00:29:41,860 --> 00:29:43,000
You are the Immortal-Demon Ruler.

454
00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:43,950
I will do as you say.

455
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:48,240
But why do you look so pale?

456
00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:51,350
Are you saying my skin

457
00:29:51,370 --> 00:29:52,870
has become smoother and softer?

458
00:29:55,260 --> 00:29:55,870
One more thing.

459
00:29:56,210 --> 00:29:58,150
The deaths of those innocent boys and girls

460
00:29:58,500 --> 00:29:59,950
must be connected to You Yan.

461
00:30:00,450 --> 00:30:02,000
If you trace the aura

462
00:30:02,020 --> 00:30:03,390
left on them,

463
00:30:03,580 --> 00:30:04,840
you may find his whereabouts.

464
00:30:07,650 --> 00:30:09,150
I will leave this to you and Nianjiu.

465
00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:11,150
Got it.

466
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:12,280
Don't worry.

467
00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:20,910
If it doesn't rain soon, not only the crops

468
00:30:21,340 --> 00:30:23,110
but also the people will die.

469
00:30:24,020 --> 00:30:24,760
Right.

470
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:28,630
His Majesty has been bewitched by that demon lady,

471
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,040
and in the end, it is we commoners who suffer.

472
00:30:42,580 --> 00:30:45,390
This overwhelming resentment really is You Yan's doing.

473
00:31:13,020 --> 00:31:13,590
It's raining!

474
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:15,670
- It's raining! - It's raining!

475
00:31:16,210 --> 00:31:16,950
It's raining!

476
00:31:17,370 --> 00:31:18,520
Heaven has sent sweet rain!

477
00:31:18,780 --> 00:31:19,430
Wonderful!

478
00:31:19,450 --> 00:31:20,560
It's raining!

479
00:31:20,690 --> 00:31:21,670
Heaven has sent sweet rain!

480
00:31:21,690 --> 00:31:23,110
Finally it's raining!

481
00:31:23,130 --> 00:31:25,430
- It's raining! - We're saved!

482
00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:27,040
- It's raining! - Thank goodness!

483
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:30,560
- It's raining! - It's raining!

484
00:31:34,890 --> 00:31:36,150
Finally it's raining!

485
00:31:36,610 --> 00:31:38,000
Finally it's raining!

486
00:31:45,540 --> 00:31:46,110
Your Majesty,

487
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:48,400
today's heavy rain has eased the drought.

488
00:31:49,260 --> 00:31:50,200
Also, as you decreed,

489
00:31:50,540 --> 00:31:52,240
relief funds have been distributed to the affected regions.

490
00:31:52,970 --> 00:31:53,990
And thanks to the completed canal,

491
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:55,680
relief grain and supplies

492
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:57,000
reached the drought areas quickly.

493
00:31:57,540 --> 00:31:58,000
Good.

494
00:31:58,810 --> 00:32:00,600
Make sure inspections and audits are strict.

495
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:02,240
If there are any false disaster reports

496
00:32:02,730 --> 00:32:03,840
or officials exploiting the people,

497
00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:04,870
punish them severely.

498
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:05,550
Understood.

499
00:32:06,130 --> 00:32:07,110
And what did you find out

500
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:08,510
about the dead children?

501
00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:10,350
Your Majesty,

502
00:32:11,660 --> 00:32:13,680
I found that they were all

503
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:14,640
abducted

504
00:32:14,940 --> 00:32:15,920
or kidnapped.

505
00:32:16,370 --> 00:32:17,760
I have already arrested the trafficker,

506
00:32:18,180 --> 00:32:19,200
but he insists

507
00:32:19,890 --> 00:32:22,510
that he delivered them all to...

508
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:28,550
Madam Yan.

509
00:32:28,890 --> 00:32:29,830
Absurd.

510
00:32:31,260 --> 00:32:31,960
Please calm down, Your Majesty.

511
00:32:35,330 --> 00:32:36,440
Clearly, whoever is behind this

512
00:32:37,130 --> 00:32:38,760
is targeting Madam Yan.

513
00:32:40,530 --> 00:32:43,550
This won't be the last attempt.

514
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:45,350
Search the kingdom from top to bottom

515
00:32:46,460 --> 00:32:47,720
and find whoever is responsible.

516
00:32:48,130 --> 00:32:48,550
Yes.

517
00:32:49,180 --> 00:32:49,760
Your Majesty,

518
00:32:50,180 --> 00:32:52,350
I heard from the Marquis of Nanyan's servants

519
00:32:52,740 --> 00:32:54,240
that they sometimes hear

520
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:55,350
children crying at night.

521
00:32:55,810 --> 00:32:58,030
Could this have something to do with him?

522
00:32:58,260 --> 00:33:02,240
I understand that the Marquis of Nanyan might want to frame Madam Yan,

523
00:33:02,740 --> 00:33:06,030
but would he really have gone so far as to kill Noble Consort Si Xian?

524
00:33:07,740 --> 00:33:08,270
Chen Tang,

525
00:33:09,020 --> 00:33:11,480
keep following that lead with the Marquis of Nanyan.

526
00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:13,920
There may be things we don't yet know.

527
00:33:15,610 --> 00:33:16,070
Yes.

528
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:22,790
Tomorrow is the coming-of-age ceremony.

529
00:33:24,220 --> 00:33:24,870
Has Madam Yan

530
00:33:25,810 --> 00:33:27,030
been told of this?

531
00:33:28,050 --> 00:33:28,760
What did she say?

532
00:33:31,370 --> 00:33:34,760
Madam Yan said that since she was under suspicion,

533
00:33:35,570 --> 00:33:38,030
she would rather remain in prison.

534
00:34:01,130 --> 00:34:02,240
First capping.

535
00:34:03,370 --> 00:34:04,960
On this auspicious day,

536
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:07,070
you don the headpiece of adulthood.

537
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:09,310
Leave behind childish pursuits

538
00:34:09,780 --> 00:34:11,470
and embrace virtue.

539
00:34:11,810 --> 00:34:13,310
May you live long and prosper,

540
00:34:13,930 --> 00:34:15,870
and may great blessings be yours.

541
00:34:22,410 --> 00:34:23,390
Second capping.

542
00:34:25,330 --> 00:34:26,830
In this favorable month and hour,

543
00:34:27,260 --> 00:34:28,910
the headpiece is renewed.

544
00:34:29,850 --> 00:34:31,310
Uphold your dignity

545
00:34:31,700 --> 00:34:33,160
and guard your virtue with prudence.

546
00:34:33,850 --> 00:34:35,350
May your years be countless

547
00:34:35,850 --> 00:34:37,390
and your blessings enduring.

548
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:39,200
Third capping.

549
00:34:39,450 --> 00:34:40,430
In the rightful year

550
00:34:40,740 --> 00:34:41,720
and in the blessed month,

551
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:43,390
you don the third headpiece of adulthood.

552
00:34:43,490 --> 00:34:44,680
With your brothers beside you,

553
00:34:44,890 --> 00:34:46,080
your virtue is fulfilled.

554
00:34:46,620 --> 00:34:47,870
May your life be endless,

555
00:34:48,140 --> 00:34:49,310
and may heaven bestow its grace upon you.

556
00:34:54,410 --> 00:34:58,080
This is the royal crown passed down from emperor to emperor in Hu.

557
00:34:58,780 --> 00:34:59,950
Once His Majesty dons it,

558
00:35:00,260 --> 00:35:02,520
he may worship the gods,

559
00:35:02,850 --> 00:35:05,830
taking upon himself the well-being of all his people.

560
00:35:11,810 --> 00:35:12,910
When I get out,

561
00:35:13,370 --> 00:35:15,200
I'll kill you all!

562
00:35:20,780 --> 00:35:22,120
If you are in such pain,

563
00:35:22,660 --> 00:35:24,120
why don't you just kill me?

564
00:35:24,810 --> 00:35:25,870
I have no reason to.

565
00:35:26,290 --> 00:35:27,270
There's no grudge between us.

566
00:35:27,740 --> 00:35:28,560
I told you,

567
00:35:29,580 --> 00:35:30,870
if I don't want you to die,

568
00:35:31,810 --> 00:35:32,790
you won't die.

569
00:35:33,140 --> 00:35:34,720
Boss...

570
00:35:35,620 --> 00:35:38,350
Don't waste such a handsome face looking so gloomy.

571
00:35:39,450 --> 00:35:40,120
Tingyan!

572
00:35:44,370 --> 00:35:44,910
Tingyan!

573
00:35:45,850 --> 00:35:46,390
Tingyan!

574
00:35:46,620 --> 00:35:48,120
Your soul must still be here.

575
00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:50,350
I will find it.

576
00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:51,640
You can treat today

577
00:35:52,490 --> 00:35:53,600
as our first encounter.

578
00:35:54,890 --> 00:35:55,720
From now on,

579
00:35:56,810 --> 00:35:58,270
I will create new memories for us,

580
00:35:59,260 --> 00:36:00,120
memories that belong

581
00:36:01,620 --> 00:36:02,470
only to the present.

582
00:36:03,260 --> 00:36:04,640
Why did you give me all your cultivation?

583
00:36:05,450 --> 00:36:06,390
What I leave you

584
00:36:06,850 --> 00:36:08,520
are the people and things you love.

585
00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:10,680
Wherever you are,

586
00:36:12,290 --> 00:36:13,760
I will always find my way back to you.

587
00:36:26,290 --> 00:36:29,870
Long live the Emperor!

588
00:36:53,140 --> 00:36:53,750
Show yourself.

589
00:36:59,490 --> 00:37:01,240
You dare ignore my words now,

590
00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:03,470
you foolish snake?

591
00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:07,680
Grandmaster, you've remembered everything?

592
00:37:08,810 --> 00:37:11,040
Have your powers returned as well?

593
00:37:11,890 --> 00:37:13,310
I'm still only mortal flesh and blood,

594
00:37:13,930 --> 00:37:15,240
capable of a little magic.

595
00:37:18,740 --> 00:37:19,680
That's why I need you

596
00:37:20,780 --> 00:37:21,680
to do something for me.

597
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:24,240
At your command, Grandmaster.

598
00:37:25,330 --> 00:37:26,390
I want it to snow.

599
00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:26,790
Ever since I started feeding the Spirit Fire with my blood,

600
00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:30,640
I've been having strange dreams like this again and again.

601
00:38:33,010 --> 00:38:34,390
What could it mean?

602
00:38:48,580 --> 00:38:49,200
Madam Yan,

603
00:38:51,700 --> 00:38:53,950
the true killer of Noble Consort Si Xian has been found.

604
00:38:55,930 --> 00:38:56,720
You are free.

605
00:38:57,700 --> 00:38:58,870
Did His Majesty find the culprit?

606
00:39:03,780 --> 00:39:05,240
Did he capture You Yan?

607
00:39:06,370 --> 00:39:07,040
Impossible.

608
00:39:08,290 --> 00:39:08,950
Why not

609
00:39:09,740 --> 00:39:12,350
ask His Majesty yourself, Madam Yan?

610
00:39:15,580 --> 00:39:16,120
This way, please.

611
00:39:30,930 --> 00:39:32,350
Why is it suddenly snowing?

612
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:46,640
Sima Jiao conjured the snow.

613
00:39:48,180 --> 00:39:49,680

In the years I lost my memory,

635
00:41:18,970 --> 00:41:20,200
I came to know

636
