Episode 8

It's getting late.

You still need to rush tomorrow. Have an early rest.

Don't bother about me. Go and rest first.

After tomorrow, when you dress,

and when you wash, it'll all be up to the Madam.

I won't be able to wait on you again.

That you can be in peace, isn't that great?

I do not think this is peace.

I have been waiting on you since I was eight years old.

In my eyes, your everything is my everything.

but I know that

there will be one day when our master and servant relationship ends.

Thus, I...

Ziyan, I've never thought of you as a servant.

I regard you as my younger sister.

I know.

Sir, you treat me as a younger sister, and my gratitude to you is larger than a mountain.

Let me wait on you for the last time before you go to sleep.

Okay, do whatever you want.

Sir. Would you like another cup of tea?

Granny Pang, why does the hair brushing water smell so nice today?

I took snow from last year, and waited until it melted

and then cooled it down to use.

I also added your favourite Jasmine flower.

No wonder.

There is a custom in my hometown.

A girl who's about to get married

must use snow water from the previous year mixed with water to brush her hair.

This snow water will wash away all the unhappy things from the past.

And also, the fragrance of the flower will let you have a sweet life in the future.

Your mother passed away early.

What your mother would have done, let me do it in her place.

I...

I can't bear to see you being married off.

I'm afraid that when you are married off, you will married to the Chen kingdom

and will be bullied by the Chen people.

Granny Pang!

Enough, Granny Pang.

Don't worry. No one will bully me.

Even if someone is bad to me, I won't be afraid.

Because I know there is someone who will protect me.

No matter how stubborn I get, he'll love me.

Do you know, Granny Pang?

I'm extremely, extremely happy now.

I have never been so happy before.

It's because I'm marrying the one I like.

I just realised that being with the one I like

is such a difficult and fortuitous thing.

Okay, Granny Pang!

Today is my big happy event.

You are not allowed to cry.

I'm happy for you.

Ziyan, what time is it now?

Ziyan.

Ziyan!

Princess, this is terrible! The generals of the Kingdom of Chen have broken in!

We are doomed.

Princess!

Kill!

Quick, get men to stop them!

How could this happen?

Didn't he say that he's here to marry me?

From the start until the finish, this was all a trick!

I said that the Kingdom of Chen is unscrupulous.

How could they give up up so easily?

Your supposed love as deep as the ocean,

was all their tricks! Take a look, take a look!

Our entire kingdom is finished!

This entire Kingdom of Wei, you've killed all our people!

You killed them. Look, you have killed them.

-The Kingdom of Wei has been finished in your hands!-Your Majesty, hurry and run!

If you don't leave, it will be too late. Your Highness, quick.

It's you who harmed them!

Didn't he agree that he will marry me?

I never thought that this would be my ending.

I was too unhappy, I didn't understand anything.

But if I had to take responsibility for all of this,

Then it was just all my childishness and foolishness.

but everything is already too late.

If everything started all over again,

Would everything be different?

Perhaps, everything has already been decided.

How could this happen?

Kill the princess! Destroy the Kingdom of Wei!

Zhen'er!

Zhen'er!

Mu Yan Gege.

You are finally here.

Many people have died.

The entire kingdom will die soon

just because I trusted you.

Su Yu. Was I that stupid and easily fooled?

You have owned our Wei kingdom this way.

Are you happy now?-No!

When I died,

Time seemed to stop.

The Kingdom of Chen's soldiers took over my country without spilling even a drop of their own blood.

It was a war of men.

Bloodlust, love, affection, trust!

All fell under a desire for fame!

With leisurely hands, the callous nature of power

pulled me, Father, Su Yu, Song Ning,

and those that I loved,

out of my life one by one.

Send my orders. Su Yu ruined the wedding agreement,

and used the excuse of seeing the bride to attack the kingdom. He is guilty and worthy of death.

Princess Wenchang made a valiant sacrifice for her kingdom. Send her off with the fanfare of a king.

But what do we do about the Kingdom of Wei? The king has died and the soldiers from the Kingdom of Chen have not left.

He won't retreat?

Kill Su Yu

The Kingdom of Wei will become a vassal state of the Kingdom of Chen.

Yes.

You were foolish. You were really too foolish.

The life that you owe me, how are you going to repay it?

Retreat.

Retreat.

Retreat.

Retreat.

Princess!

Princess Wenchang was virtuous and kind,

and cared for the lands and the people.

yet the Heavens were jealous of her, and took her life on the twenty-third.

With the virtues of a Princess, let her remain like this forever.

Oh! Not even the Heavens should reject this.

Zhen'er. I know that you are most afraid of being alone,

most afraid of sorrow.

Don't worry. I will be with you

but before that, I want to do something for you.

If I had known that you would die for me,

I shouldn't have saved you at that time.

It's a pity I didn't do that. That's why we could escape from this today.

Zhen'er.

How did the two of us end up like this?

I will kill whoever dared to kill Ye Zhen.

Prince.

Let's go.

Mother Empress. We have already searched the entire city.

There are still no signs of him.

Even if he's dead, there would still be a corpse.

I don't believe that he could get away from the city.

Tell the soldiers to send more people out.

He has always escaped from death.

I hope that this time, we can push him to death.

We can move that chess piece now.

So, it's you.

Second Prince.

You went missing for some time.

My Empress Mother and I were worried about you.

I have something to hand to you.

Come with me.

So how'd it go?

I have already handed Su Yu over to the Son of Heaven.

What did the Son of Heaven say?

The Son of Heaven was very happy.

Furthermore, he has also agreed to all our terms.

With the Son of Heaven's promise,

even if you force the Emperor to abdicate to get your position,

we can count it as being crowned by the Son of Heaven.

This position on the throne is legitimate.

But with all this, I would still rather kill him with one blow.

To destroy any potential problems.

Empress Mother, what is there to worry about this?

I heard that the Son of Heaven has locked up Su Yu in Wu Ying Valley.

No none has been able to escape once they enter Wu Ying Valley.

Instead of killing him,

why not let him slowly suffer there?

What I want is stability.

But...Wu Ying Valley is the royal family's prison of death.

it is also the cruelest prison in all the Nine Lands.

Nineteen years ago, I already heard there are traps in Wu Ying Valley.

Inside is a very important serious criminal.

Ever since then, it was never used again.

That the King of Heaven put him in there this time,

I think he must terribly hate him.

No wonder Ziyan said that as long as we hand over Su Yu to the Son of Heaven,

he won't get out alive.

Ziyan betrayed me.

if she didn't hand over Su Yu to pay for her crimes,

I would never let her off lightly.

Mother, Ziyan was just muddled by that brat.

Where is she?

She's probably reflecting on her mistake.

So after she handed him over, she disappeared.

What a waste that I cultivated her for so many years.

Mother Empress, don't you still have me?

Royal Family Prison, Wu Ying Valley.

Does it hurt very much? Don't you think it's better that you die instead?

It's you.

Where is this place?

I heard it's Wu Ying Valley.

This is the top prison in all the Nine Lands.

It is especially for criminals like you who have no chance of getting back on your feet.

That you put me in here. You respect me too much.

Do you still remember what I told you?

If you dared to bully Ye Zhen, I won't let you off so lightly.

Zhen'er.

Shut up! It was you who betrayed her.

You caused her to die. You don't have the right to mention her name.

If you want to kill me because of her,

I will be thankful to you.

Beat him.

Want to die? It won't be that easy.

I will make you feel like you want to die, but can't!

What is this place?

Am I still alive?

How did I get here?

Who are you? Are you Zhen'er?

Nangong Po

Frankly, I can kill you

But even if I split you into a million pieces,

It won't bring back Ye Zhen's life.

Thus, I want you to suffer more than death.

Zhen'er is not dead. She is still alive.

She is already dead. Even if she is still alive,

I will never give you both the opportunity to meet.

Just rot here!

Let's go.

As the princess of the Kingdom of Wei, I might have died,

But I never thought that this would be the start of another life.

My funeral was just for show

and let the world know that

that the Kingdom of Wei's princess died for her country.

And Jun Wei and Princess Wei kept it from everyone,

And secretly took me out from the grave.

This is the only magic pearl in the Nine Lands.

It can also save your life at the most crucial moment!

If you give this to her, what will happen to you?

I have decided that I'm the only one who can save her.

I need to save her.

Fine too.

She is the only person who can turn on the Hua Xu tune

but our gamble must be right this time.

Wench, you are beginning to be more indebted to me.

I won't ask you to pay me back

as long as you can live well.

It's almost time.

Legend said that

The mermaid pearl is a miraculous medicine that can bring a body back to life.

And the night when the Cliff of Truths shows strange behaviour

will also strengthen the power of the mermaid pearl.

A state of Nirvana. Where the fire burns away the past,

and also creates new life.

There is a rebellion in the Kingdom of Wei.

I wonder what you all think about this?

Should we return political power to the Kingdom of Wei?

Your Highness. Wei kingdom belongs to Chen kingdom now

but the Crown Prince faked his marriage to the princess

He secretly attacked the Kingdom of Wei and caused the princess to die.

The king of Wei committed suicide right there. The people of the kingdom are extremely unhappy with us.

All the other countries are waiting to pounce. It is also unavoidable that there are also people trying to stir up trouble.

If this matter isn't resolved, I'm afraid there will be no more peace in the future.

Minister Liu is correct. In just a few months,

there have been nearly a hundred cases of the people of Wei thieving from the storages of Chen.

This rebellion is probably the premonition for even greater upheaval in the future.

Elder General Shen, what do you think?

Your Highness.

If we continue to suppress them, it will only lead to more ill feelings from the people.

Right now we must find someone who the Kingdom of Wei won't disapprove of,

At the same time, he won't betray Chen kingdom.

Do you have anyone to select from?

Second Prince.

The Kingdoms of Chen and Wei were going to be united to start with.

Only the eldest prince did things of his own accord and ruined everything.

Now the eldest prince and the princess are both dead.

If now the Second Prince and a young lady from the Kingdom of Wei are married,

this way, he is the perfect person to rule over the Kingdom of Wei.

You want me to marry the Princess from Wei kingdom?

When you marry her,

you will be able to govern Wei kingdom.

It will belong to Chen kingdom

but at the same time, it is still one of the seven kingdoms.

You won't suffer from this marriage.

I know that you are doing this for my sake.

It's just that...

What's wrong? You are not willing?

No. Of course, I'm willing.

It's just that to subdue Wei kingdom,

I have no opposition to it.

But since I got some advantages,

I am afraid that some in the court will be disapproving.

It's rare for you to have such a view.

Emperor Father. Why don't we let General Shen

go and fulfill the marriage?

Last time when we fought the Kingdom of Wei, he did much to help us.

He was also heavily injured for us.

He has bled and sweated for our Kingdom of Chen.

If General Shen takes on the post of the Generalissimo,

you can make the Shen household happy, and make the people of the Kingdom of Wei happy as well.

Wouldn't we be killing two birds with one stone?

This advice is not bad.

Xie'er.

Lately, you have shown improvements in your efforts and eloquence.

Thank you, Emperor Father for the compliment.

Why did you give such a good opportunity to Shen An?

Empress Mother. The women from Wei kingdom are very strong.

A princess jumped down and committed suicide.

If another princess were to come here to assassinate me, what should I do?

Furthermore, the Kingdom of Wei is tens of thousands of li away.

If something happens in the court, I'm afraid I won't be able to react fast enough.

Talking about this, you are still afraid to die.

Mother, nothing is more important than being alive.

Since you brought this up,

you can't take back your order.

It's good thing too. Shen Bin has helped us a lot.

Leaving the position of Generalissimo to him is better than leaving it to outsiders.

I will let him know then.

Go now.

I''m leaving.

Second Prince. What brings you here?

Shen An. You should thank me properly this time.

Thank you for what?

You are going to be the Generalissimo of the Wei kingdom.

An'er. Fortunately, Second Prince gave the Wei kingdom's Generalissimo post to you.

He put you forward.

His Highness's decree will be here soon.

But I heard that if I take the post of the Generalissimo of Wei kingdom,

I will need to marry the princess from the Wei kingdom.

I have already thought about this on your behalf.

It's said that Wei kingdom is famous for beauties.

General Shen. You have never been married. You don't even have a concubine.

To marry a princess as beautiful as a flower,

Isn't this just nice?

Of course, if that princess has a strong personality

and wants to control you, you can use your martial arts to response to her.

What is the name of that strong princess from Wei kingdom?

Song Ning.

Song Ning? My father said to release her.

Go and settle this now. Second Prince and I still have things to talk about.

Father, I have something to discuss with you too.

Go now. Tell me when you are back.

I'm afraid I cannot accept your good intentions.

Don't tell me the post of Generalissimo of Wei kingdom is not enough for you?

No. It's because I already...

An'er. This is goodwill from His Highness and Second Prince.

It's also their trust in the Shen family. Thank him now.

Thank you for putting my name forward.

Enough. In future, don't forget who was the one who recommended you to this post.

Shen An?

You can leave now.

Shen An. Are you here to save me by releasing me?

General Song, you and I are not familiar with each other. There's no need to use names.

Also, letting you go was His Highness's idea. It has nothing to do with me.

Shen An.

Remember, if you dare to do anything next time,

- I will never let you off lightly. - It can't be that...

you have totally forgotten about me?

Ah Ning, you cannot be so hardheaded anymore.

I almost wasn't able to save you.

I never planned to live on. The Kingdom of Wei is finished.

His Highness and the Princess are already dead.

As the General of the Wei kingdom,

it is a shame that I couldn't die on the battlefield.

Do I have still have the face to see the ancestor king of Wei kingdom?

You shouldn't die then. The Wei kingdom will revolt.

What you mean is...

The Kingdom of Wei has been planning for a revolt recently.

The troops that attempted to launch a surprise attack on the Chen Kingdom-

Do you think that they could do that without us secretly supporting them?

With all these little fights and arguments, nothing happens in the end.

The time is not ripe, but it can restrict the activities of the Chen Kingdom.

At least, they released you.

If I can shake off the Kingdom of Chen from the Kingdom of Wei,

I have a reason to live too.

Ah Ning. You must remember this.

Endurance will help you to do big tasks.

When can we leave?

We can't leave yet.

To soothe the people of the Kingdom of Wei,

They brought up marriage. The person who marries our princess will become the Generalissimo of Wei kingdom.

Who will she marry?
