Hua Xu Yin

Episode 11

Hua Xu Tune

Does it look good?

As long as you finish practising this last section,

we will have reached our goal.

How did the characters disappear?

Aunt,

perhaps only one person can unlock this score.

That person is Jun Fu.

So it seems only those who play the Hua Xu Tune

can read it.

I learnt how to play the Hua Xu Tune,

and learnt how to unlock the Illusions of Hua Xu.

I became a dream weaver

and through the corridors of Hua Xu,

took people into the land of illusions.

In their illusions, I can discover secrets,

and fulfill their desires.

I can even

make them sleep forever in reality.

Zhen'er!

This is the capital Yong'an City. How did I...

Congratulations on Your Highness' ascension to the throne. The Nine Lands celebrate in harmony!

Congratulations on Your Highness' ascension to the throne. The Nine Lands celebrate in harmony!

Congratulations on Your Highness' ascension to the throne. The Nine Lands celebrate in harmony!

Congratulations on Your Highness' ascension to the throne. The Nine Lands celebrate in harmony!

I am the ruler of the Nine Lands.

I am the ruler of the Nine Lands!

That is absolutely correct. As long as you remain in this illusion,

you are the only ruler of the Nine Lands.

I am willing to remain here. I am willing to remain here.

Then what about everything in reality?

I don't want it. I don't want any of it.

Fine. I only have one request.

Okay. Say it.

Kill him.

Him?

Kill him!

You entered an illusion?

You were wounded there?

Yes.

You entered the Illusions of Hua Xu.

If what you said is true,

my Zhen'er is still alive.

Why didn't she recognise you when she was there?

Why did she tell them to kill me?

This clearly means that she has gotten hold of the Hua Xu tune

and became the Dream Weaver.

What is a Dream Weaver?

This world originally

has two types of people who can enter the illusion.

One is the Dream Weaver,

the other is the Protector.

This illusionist will use the Hua Xu Tune to make people enter

the illusions.

With a base made from the listener's memories

and their desires,

the Hua Xu tune is thus created.

The person in the illusion cannot go in and out of the illusion on their own will.

The illusionist can use the illusion to twist people's hearts!

As long as the person listening to the tune is willing,

they can

stay forever within the illusion.

And the body in reality,

and will fall into a long sleep without waking up.

What about the other type?

If there is a Dream Weaver, there will be a Protector.

The duty of the Protector is to guard the illusions

and stop anyone from going in.

So, you are...

... the Protectors.

Since you are the Protectors,

why are you trapped in this cave?

This is all because of

the greed that people of this world have towards the Hua Xu Tune.

It's also because I was weak.

You still don't believe me?

I believe you

because regardless of who she turned into,

as long as I'm alive, I must find her.

But I dare not believe it too that

she might definitely be alive.

and that ultimately,

it's all false.

I won't be able to accept again

the fact is she is already dead.

So you would rather use death to run away,

instead of going out to find out the truth?

I am a coward.

If you let fear overtake your hopes,

we will really be doomed -

not only from this world,

but also our core.

We cannot submit.

Submitting will result in eventual destruction.

No matter what, I want to try.

I want to try.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

The King of Tang has gone into a coma,

he has no way of taking care of the country.

Besides, he has no children.

According to rules, you will take over the Kingdom of Tang.

What is there to congratulate?

The one who is doing everything is that wench.

You should congratulate yourself.

You can make of the Hua Zu tune now.

All my hard work,

It can't be that you still don't understand.

Enough, Aunt.

Whatever we wanted, we have already gotten them.

I already said that I will do according to your wishes.

Don't worry.

Where are you going?

I'm going to visit the princess's grave.

I will go with you.

Zhen'er.

I'm here to visit you.

You must be angry with me

for taking such a long time to visit you,

It's my fault.

I broke my promise.

Sorry.

Song Ning.

Don't look anymore. Let's go back.

I would like to talk to Zhen'er.

Song Ning.

Why are you stopping me?

I only want to talk to Zhen'er.

Listen to me. Let's go back.

Why are you stopping me?

Princess Wenchang's grave

has been plundered.

Plundered?

Zhen'er died not that long ago.

You couldn't even protect her grave?

Song Ning.

Are you hiding something else from me?

Speak.

The item that was plundered was the corpse of the Princess.

I was afraid that you will be sad and hurt. That's why I didn't tell you.

How could this be possible?

Zhen'er may be rebellious

but she is a kind person.

Don't talk about inside the palace.

All the people here love her very much!

Who would hate her till they don't even leave her corpse alone?

I think this is strange too.

Normally people rob graves for it's riches.

But the items buried with her were not touched at all.

Only the princess's body is gone.

I couldn't understand too.

Don't worry. I already sent men to investigate.

If I find out who did it, I will never let him off.

Who did this?

Besides you low lives from the Kingdom of Chen,

who else would do such a harmful thing?

Song Ning.

I know you find this hard to accept

but you can't take out your anger on the Chen people.

This only means you weren't happy at losing the war.

Yes, I wasn't happy.

Using the excuse of marriage,

your country took over my Kingdom of Wei's land.

Ask any Wei person and see if they are happy.

What do you want to do?

What do I want to do?

What can I do?

I am simply a slave from a conquered land.

Do you need to say that?

Leave. I want to be alone.

Zhen'er.

Sorry.

Even in this world,

you couldn't even have the last dignity.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Young Master.

Why aren't you with Miss Liu? What are you doing here?

Young Master. Ever since you arrived in the Wei kingdom,

you didn't even visit Miss Liu.

- I know. - Young Master.

I said that I know.

Young Master.

Miss Liu hasn't eaten anything for a few days.

If this continues on, with such a weak body like hers,

I'm afraid she may not last.

She didn't eat anything for a few days?

What is she doing? Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Qiqi.

The fog is thick at night.

What if you catch cold?

I think of my husband every day because I haven't seen my husband.

I know that I have neglected you for the past few days.

I just arrived in Wei kingdom and have been very busy with work.

You must understand and learn how to take care of yourself.

I can't always be with you. Right?

I know that you are still angry with me.

Let's not talk about that again.

Qiqi, if you know you are wrong than you should change, it's not a big deal.

In my heart, you are a beautiful and kind girl.

I don't want you to change.

Okay. It's good that you are fine. Rest early.

Qiqi, don't be like this.

Qiqi, don't be like this.

I know how you feel but

we can't be like this now.

Whatever I promised you, I will do it.

Qiqi.

You must give me time, okay?

Rest early.

Young Master.

Young Master. You dropped your sash.

Madam.

What are you doing?

Don't move. We are healing your injury.

Healing my injury?

This tree of life

Use people's energy to make it grow.

But the tree of life can only heal serious injuries.

A life for a life.

I'm trading my life with others?

Yes. If you want to live,

you must pay for more lives.

This is the Wu Ying Valley's cruel rules of living.

You can't trade your lives for this.

You are our last chance.

This needs to be done.

Don't!

Don't!

Let me do it.

The holy flame has rekindled.

The holy flame has rekindled.

Yu'er is not dead.

Yu'er is not dead!

Find it.

Even if you dig three feet into the ground you must find it!

Miss Liu. You must not stay within the palace all the time.

You must go out for a stroll

and let the palace staff know of your existence.

Miss Liu. Look at how pretty this is.

Why don't we go in and take a look?

Miss.

Whose room is this?

This is the previous Princess Wen Chang of Wei's room.

Princess Wenchang? Didn't she die?

Who is living here now?

Miss Liu. Do you like this place?

It's empty anyway. Why don't we move in here?

Regarding this, it's better that you ask Madam.

She has instructed that no one is allowed to touch anything here.

You can leave.

Miss Liu. Even though Madam instructed this,

but why should we listen to her?

Madam. What is hidden in here?

Wait till I take it out and you will know.

It has a fragrant smell. How can there be such a fragrant osmanthus brew in this season?

This is osmanthus wine that I buried for ten years.

It has been ten years,

Princess.

We thought that things would never change in ten years.

Never did we think that we would be forever separated by death.

It's lucky that we have this osmanthus wine. Take it to the lord to have a taste.

Yes, I will go now.

Madam.

Madam.

Madam.

What are you holding?

Miss Liu said they are useless stuff.

She wanted us to throw these away.

Doesn't this belong to the Princess?

Who says you could touch her things?

It was Miss Liu.

She said that these are old stuff. Thus, we...

What right does she has to touch Zhen'er things?

Miss Liu has already moved in.

What did you say?

Liu Qiqi.

Who allowed you to move in here?

Who allowed you to touch Zhen'er things?!

Do you think that just because you are a mute, you can pretend to be pitiful?

That you could steal and snatch?

Do you think that just because Shen An doesn't know anything,

you can keep pretending?

How can you be so shameless?

Madam.

This is our fault.

Don't be angry.

Miss Liu saw that no one was living here.

Thus, I advised her...

Shut up.

Who are you to talk to me?

Madam. If you object to us moving in here,

Miss Liu and I will move out.

You already did this to this place

and you can still say lightly that you will move out?

This is only just a place to live.

What did you say?

Only wicked servants

will instigate their master

to do something without knowing the severity of it.

You broke the favourite vase of the Princess.

Miss Liu.

Liu Qiqi.

Qiqi.

What's going on?

Why did you get injured so badly?

Liu Qiqi.

Song Ning.

Did you do this?

How could you bully Qiqi like this?

I bullied her? Ask her what she did instead.

Qiqi, what exactly is going on?

What's wrong?

Young Master.

Rong Min. Tell me what's going on.

Young Master. This was all a misunderstanding.

Ever since Miss Liu has been living here,

she hasn't been feeling well.

Thus, we found a Geomancy master to check.

Who knew that the Geomancy would tell us that

Miss Liu's living quarters is not compatible with her Chinese horoscope.

We saw that courtyard by accident

and wanted to move in for two days first.

What the Geomancy Master said could be true.

We didn't think that we would make Madam angry.

That's it?

Song Ning, I always thought that you had a boy's personality.

You can embrace people's faults. But for something so small,

you turned out this way.

Yes. You are the Madam of this house.

You have the right to decide on the living quarters

but let me tell you, even though Qiqi doesn't have any status,

as long as I'm here,

I won't allow her to be bullied.

Let's go.

The room she broke into was Zhen'er's room!

I don't care where she wants to move to.

Without my permission,

No one can touch Zhen'er's room!

Even if you agree, it won't do.

Qiqi.

I have something to tell you.

I know that you have suffered today

But you were wrong as well.

Zhen'er's room is very important to Song Ning.

Even though Song Ning and I are just nominal

but she is still my wife.

I will still give her the respect. Understand?

I know that ever since we came to Wei kingdom,

I have neglected you, that is my fault.

But from now on, as far as changing rooms,

just tell me and I will make the arrangements.

It wouldn't have created such a big disturbance.

Especially when this is the Generalissimo's mansion.

there is no completion without rules. If everyone is like you,

and not obeying the standards,

everything will be a muddle.

Understand?

I know that I am under everyone else.

In future, I won't dare to make my own decisions again.

Don't say such things again.

I don't know who taught you this

but this is so unlike you.

In the past, you were never so calculative.

You didn't have that many thoughts too.

Where is the mistake?

Should I have not brought you to this mansion?

No one taught me. My heart hasn't changed.

I have never changed.

Do you know that

How I miss those days in the open country?

At that time, I was seriously injured

I couldn't see anything, and the path was so arduous.

but I could feel your strength.

How you didn't mind anything at all.

Do you know how much I relied on you then?

Without you, I wouldn't have been able to survive

but I don't know why

you have changed so much.

You have changed from being simple. You have become fragile.

Sometimes, I feel that

you are different from who you used to be.

Rest early. I will visit you again tomorrow.

Miss Liu. I heard everything.

Miss Liu. You can't continue this way.

Young Master is beginning to be more interested in Madam.

I really love him very much.

What should I do now?

We must use cruel tactics this time.

Come in.

What is this?

This is osmanthus wine from the madam.

Osmanthus wine?

She is quite caring.

This is...

You didn't know?

This is our tradition.

An unmarried girl,

will bury a bottle of osmanthus brew in her home.

Ten years later, the osmanthus brew will become extremely fragrant.

if she can share it with her husband,

they will grow old together then.

And have many children and grandchildren!

Grow old together?

This cold fragrance

that seeps through world

is similar to a drunken Chang'e (guardian fairy of the moon) from heaven.

Madam. It's very late. You should go to sleep.

Go to sleep first. I will sleep after I have wiped this.

You are indeed a general.

To these swords, spears, and pieces of armor,

They are just like your precious babies.

My father once said that as a general,

if you cannot even protect your own weapons well,

what right do you have to protect your country?

It can't be that Madam still wants to fight in the war.

Would Young Master agree?

Fight in the war?

I'm afraid it's not possible anymore.

You are highly skilled in martial arts

and you got married.

It's such a pity.

What am I talking about?

Madam married such a hero like Young Master.

What's so pitiful about this?

If given the choice again,

would I still choose this?

Stay here and don't move.

Shen An.

Shen An.

Qiqi, don't do this.

Qiqi, don't do this.

Qiqi, don't do this.

Qiqi, don't do this.

Qiqi.

My Lord. You are awake?

I'm...

My Lord. You have been unconscious for three days.

The entire court is anxious.

Your Excellency.

Three days...then Qiqi. Is Qiqi well?

This...

Say it! How is Qiqi?

Miss Liu still hasn't woken.

Young Master.

Young Master, why are you here?

Qiqi. Qiqi.

How is she?

Qiqi has contracted a deadly poison from saving you.

I'm not sure if she will survive this misfortune.

What did the physician say? Did you ask the Imperial Physician?

The best physicians of Wei have all been.

It's lucky that Miss Qiqi has been learning about medicine since she was young.

The herbs that she had ingested over a long period of time saved her life.

It prevented her from dying from the poison immediately.

However, we need to pray to the Heavens

and hope she is able to survive this.

Hurry. Send a letter to my father.

The King once granted him an immunity pill, which can relieve any poison.

Go get it immediately. Hurry.

I take your orders.

Young Master, you and Qiqi were injured badly.

You must investigate this matter thoroughly.

Thank you.

Madam.

Qing'er? Why are you here?

How is Shen An? Is he alright?

He didn't die did he?

He didn't.

Then all is well.

I knew he wouldn't die.

But Miss Liu sucked poison for the Young Master,

and still hasn't woken.

No one knows if she can survive.

How did this happen?

Who would be so vicious?

Have they found the truth?

Madam, don't worry so much.

You've been in the prison for many days already.

You mustn't have had a proper meal.

You should eat something first.

Qing'er. Don't keep me in the dark.

Do they think

I'm behind it?

The Council discovered that the poison came from the osmanthus brew you gave.

So...

I know that Madam is innocent.

Madam is warm and benevolent. You would never do such a thing.

Rest assured Madam. The innocent will be proven innocent.

Young Master will definitely prove it.

Innocence?

If he believed me, why would I still be locked up?

That's not it. Young Master must have been careless.

I will return immediately, and beg him to release Madam.

Don't be naive.

Do you think begging will help?

Don't get yourself involved anymore.

I'm afraid

I won't be let off the hook so easily this time round.

Poison. Assassin.

Guards appearing almost immediately.

As if they were already warned.

None of this is a coincidence. This is a deadly plan.

Just what is the purpose of this plan?

Shen An, will you believe me?

Letter by Song Ning

Your Excellency, this was found in Madam's room.

There is now a witness, as well as physical evidence.

Song Ning won't be able to extricate herself this time.

Does Your Excellency believe Madam is related to this event?

The easier something is solved,

the higher the likelihood of it being a trap.

I will investigate this thoroughly. Do not spread it.

But the news of Madam's failed poisoning attempt

and her being locked up has already spread.

I've heard that Song Yan is massing an army of ten thousand on the border.

He says that if Your Excellency mistreats Madam,

he will rebel.

I'm afraid this entire event

was planned by the Song siblings, who definitely have an ulterior motive.

Killing me will only lead to the induction of a new Generalissimo.

What do they desire?

Your Excellency, I found these

in Madam's room.

All of this is Madam's calligraphy.

As expected, the letter was not written by Song Ning.

Your Excellency thinks...

Go to the prison, and escort Madam back.

Madam! Madam!

We can go back now.

Shen An believes me?

I just knew that Young Master would believe Madam.

Madam, let's go.

Let's go.
