Hua Xu Yin

Episode 17

I cannot let her face danger anymore. That is too cruel.

I didn't save her to send her to die!

Your Majesty,

How many times have I told you?

Being kind like a woman will only cause harm to you in the end!

Doing anything will result in sacrifices.

If you cannot take even these things now,

how will you rule the world in the future?

There are other things to me besides ruling the world!

I just want to protect her, that one person, can I not do that either?

You can only protect others when you have the biggest ability to do so.

Your Majesty,

Besides having the title of the Son of Heaven what else do you have right now?

What can you take to go protect her?

Even if I cannot properly protect her,

I cannot continue harming her like this. I can't!

In the end your heart is still weak.

Those who want to own the world,

must be able to take things up and put them down too!

For her,

you will actually stop our plan halfway through?

Your Majesty,

Do you just want to grow old within the palace?

You want to take our royal family's dominion,

and ruin it in your hands?

For the world,

are we to manipulate everyone by our side?

What about it?

What meaning is there if you obtain the entire world this way?

You can figure out the meaning after you obtain it!

You two shouldn't fight over me anymore.

Why have you gotten up?

Are you better?

A lot better.

How about you go lie down a bit more?

I cannot rest anymore.

Teacher is right.

You cannot think about it so much.

I understand in my heart what I should do.

It's good that you know.

Persuade him well, okay?

Your Majesty, from now on, don't fight with Teacher for me anymore.

You are the one who saved my life.

Even if I lose it for you, that's fine.

You can give up your life for me?

I have to pay back what I owe others sooner or later.

Besides, this is a life.

It is only because of that?

I know what you sacrificed for me.

I am a living dead person. I cannot fall in love.

What happened in the past, I cannot remember it anymore.

But you were the one who gave me this life.

I will never forget that.

Since you were the one who gave me this life,

you should let it go and do what you want to do.

But how do you know what I truly want in my heart?

It's fine. As long as you want it to be done, I'll willingly do it.

Jun Fu,

This is a way to repay my gratitude!

Repay your gratitude?

You are just doing this to repay your gratitude?

Yes! What else could it be for?

Yes.

What else could it be for?

How is he?

Still breathing. Seems like he cannot keep going for long.

It really is you.

It was very hard to get out,

and you got captured back just like that. How do you feel about that?

Let me ask you,

The one who stabbed me...

was it Ye Zhen?

I've told you before. You have no right to mention her.

Tell me.

If you want me to die,

at least let me die with an understanding.

Okay!

I'll tell you. Ye Zhen is dead.

You personally caused her to die.

Dead people cannot come back to life.

I want to see her.

And so what if you do see her?

Let me see her!

Okay.

I'll let you see her.

If you want to give up, I'll let you completely give up.

What is it?

I'm divining for Song Ning.

The day to go into the illusion has been set?

It should be within the next few days.

It's just...

Where is there something wrong?

The divining says that her fate with Shen An has not yet finished.

It could be that there is still yearning in their hearts.

But this is good too.

You cannot enter the current Cui Sha Palace just because you want to anymore.

And your body hasn't completely healed yet.

You can strengthen it for a bit longer.

I can't! I promised to weave an illusion for Song Ning, how can I break my promise?

Besides, I still haven't found the thing Teacher wants.

I cannot stop.

Is it that you still cannot let go of Song Ning in your heart yet?

I guess so.

That's good too. Before you do that,

I want you to see someone.

I hurt you, and you still want to see me?

Are you okay?

You've gotten skinnier.

You've mistaken me for her too.

How strange.

All of you mistake me for her.

It's too bad, I am not her.

Then who are you?

Who am I?

That's a good question.

I also want to know who I am.

They...they call you Jun Fu.

Insignificant as dust, gone with a light brush.

No, you can never be as insignificant as dust.

In my heart, you are more important than anything.

You are very strange.

You are so seriously injured yet you still like to joke with me.

It was clearly I who hurt you, yet you don't care at all.

Clearly I don't know you,

but you take me as a completely different person.

Because in my eyes, you are her.

Ye Zhen, even if you don't remember anything,

can you finish listening to me speak?

Why?

Because...because...this is in my entire life,

the most wrong thing I have ever done.

Because...I am the one who caused you to die.

-What's wrong?-And after that?

Until death...you thought I had motives behind my affection.

It was to use the 50,000 soldiers to ambush the Kingdom of Wei.

I still remember that day at the city walls, how you hated me.

You thought everything was my plan.

Perhaps...perhaps everyone thought that way.

But Ye Zhen, I had not even a little intention to trick you.

I said I wanted you marry you, and I truly wanted to marry you.

I said I loved you, and I truly did love you.

But that moment when you jumped from the city walls,

I knew everything was too late.

I had no chance to explain to you.

The last moments of your life, you were leaving with suffering and hate.

From then on, in my dreams, there was only the hateful expression in your eyes.

These are all just your explanations.

You forsook someone, so you feel guilty in your heart.

So you found a person who looks like her to ask for forgiveness!

To ask for some peace in your heart. Now you have peace,

but the one you forsook is dead forever! Do you think that this is enough?

-Ye Zhen!-I said that I am not her!

But if I was her, I would rather die than see you ever again!

Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen! Ye Zhen! Ye Zhen!

-What's wrong?-I don't want to know anything.

I don't want to know anything!

You'll forget them. You'll forget everything.

No. No!

I originally thought that you wouldn't cry.

I never thought that in your dreams, you will still be sad.

Why do you only cry for him?

Why must you treat me this way?

Get up!

Why must you treat her like that? Why? Why did you have to appear?

You should have died long ago!

You think that this way, she will fall in love with you?

I won't continue to lose to you! Previously, you met her first.

You won her heart. But Jun Fu is different!

I was the one who saved her. I gave her life!

She only remembers me! This time I won't lose to you!

Based on your magic, what you are keeping isn't a human heart.

I won't kill you. Even though I should,

But I don't believe that I will continue to lose to you.

Su Yu, I'm setting you free.

I also want to see if you'll win this round or if I will win.

You won't regret it?

I might. But I want to take a gamble.

Ye Zhen fell in love with you because she met you first.

But this time, I was the one who saved Jun Fu first.

I don't believe that you can still win over me.

Madam, are we leaving just like this?

You don't need to follow me. The future days will be very lonely.

-It's best to stay in the palace.-I won't leave you Madam!

Let's go.

Follow the Madam. I want to know her every move.

I got it.

Second Madam, look. This is the place that you should be living in.

Now Song Ning is gone. From now on, this Cui Sha Place is your territory.

Young Lord.

Why are you two here?

Young Lord, the Second Madam and I came to see if there is anything that is needed here.

Need what?

Since the Second Madam is moving in, of course we have to see if anything is lacking.

Qiqi, can you not wait at all?

Young Lord, you've misunderstood the Second Madam.

She just wanted to see if there's anything you need!

If you move over, it will make things more convenient.

I remember that I've told you that you cannot move in to here.

Song Ning...is just temporarily leaving.

I've told you that this place is very important to her.

Cui Sha Palace is so big. You can stay anywhere, just not here. Promise me, okay?

I can live anywhere.

Rong Min, take Miss Qiqi back.

Yes.

Madam, this is...

The place we'll live in from now on.

The zither player?

You indeed received my letter.

I just came to take a chance.

It's good. Zhen'er, in the end I still have you.

I will definitely do what I promised you.

I've divined for you. Today is the best day to for you to enter the illusion.

Today?

So fast...

How are things between you and Shen An?

Shen An...

Perhaps it was fated to be a regret.

To Shen An

Shen An, when you get this letter, I should have already left Cui Sha Palace.

I don't know why, but I suddenly want to tell you things that I've never said before.

Perhaps in the end I am still a bit unwilling to submit to this.

I brought a woman's greatest hopes with me to marry you.

Even though this marriage isn't what you wanted.

But I was always foolishly thinking that everything would turn out okay.

I originally didn't know that there was a Liu Qiqi.

I didn't know that there was a promise between you two.

I didn't know that my appearance broke everything apart.

If I could have foreseen all this earlier,

The present you and me would be so much happier.

After marrying you, you never liked to see me.

You continued to coldly ignore me.

But in the end, one incident created a unchangeable fate.

All because of my stubbornness and unwillingness to lose,

I refuse to submit to this sort of fate.

And your loyalty became what trapped me, you, and Liu Qiqi.

If I asked you, I'm afraid that it would only take one second,

Have you fallen for me? Perhaps you would immediately deny it.

But to me, I'm afraid that it would be a rare chance for you to look at me.

How long can I keep going with that?

It's just...a human heart is still fundamentally greedy.

Getting a bit, will make the heart want more.

If I cannot obtain it, then I might as well have never started.

I'm tired. This marriage that has had too much fighting, competing, and dirty tricks,

Has already spent my everything.

The previously imagined wonderfulness that I originally imagined,

It disappeared in my heart long ago.

Shen An. I'm leaving. This time, I'm truly completely leaving.

What you gave me to protect,

Is in the place you and I both know of.

Besides that, you and I have no association anymore.

This letter can be considered my letter of divorce.

Shen An, you're finally free!

Zhen'er...am I in the illusion or in reality?

I have no way to enter the Hua Xu Illusion.

What did you say?

Strange. Why can't I enter the Hua Xu Illusion?

The timing isn't wrong. All the steps aren't wrong.

Unless...

I have something important to see you for.

Come in.

Your Excellency, I have something important to see Madam for. It is very important.

Royal Doctor, the Madam has gone to the temple to burn incense.

She won't return to the palace for now.

But Your Excellency, this is a happy event as big as the heavens!

Your Excellency, you must bring the Madam back.

Happy event?

Yes. A few days ago, your injury hadn't been healed yet.

When I came into the palace to treat you,

I also once took the Madam's pulse.

It's just that then...then..

Go ahead and say it.

At that time, your injury was from the Madam, and it wasn't known if you'd live or die.

The Madam's face also looked a bit weak.

I didn't dare to rashly make a decision.

Later, I went to bring medicine to you again.

So...

Just what do you want to say?

What I got from the Madam...was a happy pulse! (aka she is pregnant)

Happy pulse?

I'm pregnant?

There is only one possibility of why the Hua Xu Illusion cannot begin.

It is because the person listening to the zither sound is pregnant.

I think it must be because the Heavens wanted to give you a good life.

Even something like the Hua Xu Tune,

cannot bring in an innocent life.

Hua Xu Tune?

Yes.

What you played for me now was the Hua Xu Tune?

Correct. What is it?

Why are you crying?

Zhen'er,

have you really forgotten who you are?

Don't you know that in this entire Nine Lands, there is only one person who can play the Hua Xu Tune?

I want to thank the Heavens, when I was about to break apart,

he gave me two pieces of good news!

One is a friend who I had lost,

the other...is a little life that will be born soon!

Since I have no way of weaving an illusion for you,

What do you intend to do from here on out?

I want to give birth to the child.

Perhaps it is that the heavens are pitying me.

At this time...he gave me a reason to live on.

Then, should we tell Shen An?

He is still the child's father.

If he knew, you would still have someone to depend on.

To me this is good news,

but to Shen An, it is not.

Song Ning!

Shen An, you-!

You've conceived my child, and yet you still dare to leave the palace without permission.

Come back with me right now!

You know?

Or else how long did you want to keep this from me for?

Do you know what this means?

It means that the heavens are giving us one more chance.

An even stronger woman will give in in front of love.

An even meaner man will become weak in front of his pregnant wife.

Second Madam, throwing a fit cannot solve anything.

Song Ning was originally the Young Lord's wife.

It is only natural that she gets pregnant at some point.

I just never thought,

that the advantage originally in your hands has become hers.

Second Madam, now what do you want to do ?

You have to think clearly before doing anything.

Being rash won't fix problems.

I never thought that was is happening now would happen.

We thought that she would definitely leave.

Perhaps...this time you should be the one leaving.

Come, slowly.

I can walk, you don't have to help me like this.

I cannot let anything happen to you anymore.

Are you caring about me,

or the child in my stomach?

And if I said it was both?

I never heard you be so cheesy before.

I will move over here tonight.

What?

I am your husband. Is there anything wrong with moving over?

But..

Before I lost you,

I didn't realize that I actually cared so much about you.

Song Ning, even if there wasn't this child,

I still wouldn't bear to let you go.

It's just that it would be hard for me to take this step.

I thank the heavens for giving us this child,

to give me the bravery to get you back.

Until now I still can't believe that it's true.

Everything has come too suddenly.

I'm very afraid.

Don't be afraid. Everything...has come to pass.

Song Ning says that I am Ye Zhen.

In this world, only she can play the Hua Xu Tune.

At the same time, I look the exact same as Ye Zhen.

I can also play the Hua Xu Tune.

Just who am I?

Don't worry, I'm here. I'll help you recover your memories, okay?

Looks like I can't remember anything now.

What did you say just now? She's pregnant?

Then...what should we do from now on?

The first step...she should carry the child.

The second step...she will give birth.

And as for the third step...

I haven't finished speaking yet! Didn't you ask me what I wanted?

-When did Qiqi leave?-It's been a little bit.

The Second Madam must have been shocked by the Madam's pregnancy, so she

made a fuss saying she wanted to leave. We couldn't stop her!

There's so many of you, and you still couldn't block one girl?

Stop crying. I've already told you,

at this time, you should think of a way to turn things around.

Second Madam, what do you want?

Do you want him to love only you?

Men will always go for more, they fall in love with a woman every time they see one.

Women will always devote themselves to only one man.

You are so silly. However, I will help you.

You don't need to worry. Relax,

I have already found someone to tell the Young Lord.

Based on his personality, he should already be on the road.

Stop the carriage! Stop the carriage!

Young Lord!

Qiqi, why be like this?

Young Lord, previously the Second Madam's child was lost because of the Eldest Madam.

Now the Eldest Madam is pregnant.

The Second Madam really can't take it in her heart.

Qiqi, come down.

I want to say some things to you.

Qiqi, I know you feel bad in your heart.

But Song Ning said that she didn't make you miscarry on purpose.

Will you forgive her?

I know you feel terrible.

You want children. You and I are still young, we will have more in the future.

Have you fallen in love with her?

Qiqi!

What do you want me to do?

You want to cut off all ties with me?

Qiqi!

What will you do in the future if you leave me?

You have no one to depend on!

You once saved my life,

I will spend my entire life repaying you.

As long as you want it, I will give it to you.

The exception being...I cannot control this myself.

Then what about Song Ning?

Could it be that I must drive her away,

in order to make your heart happy?

You cannot tolerate her even a little?

The one who saved you was me. You promised to repay me.

You promised not to forsake me!

Yes. What I've promised,

I will not go back on it. But Qiqi,

the previous magnanimous and gentle you...was that a lie?

The past is the past. In the past you didn't love her!

As you wish.

Qiqi. What I can do, is to keep my word.

But there are some things...if it's gone, then it's gone.

I cannot give it anymore.

Young Lord you are not going back to the Second Madam?

Escort the Second Madam back to the palace.

Yes.

Okay, stop crying.

If you want to take all the fortune for yourself,

you must sacrifice some things. Remember,

you cannot be too guilty.

Qing'er, take care of everything.

I am taking care of it right now, Madam.

I am saying that you should take away what should be taken away.

Why, Madam?

We should return to the temple.

Why? Haven't we just come back?

Haven't you and His Excellency just gotten back together?

Listen to me.

But Madam!

Okay okay, since I can't stop you anyway.

Where are you going?

The temple.

-You..-I've heard.

Liu Qiqi heard about my pregnancy,

and made a fuss until she left the palace. I can guess,

that she will definitely make you choose between her and me.

Don't talk. I understand everything.

Shen An, you are a person who keeps promises.

You'd rather forsake yourself than forsake a promise.

I don't want to make things hard on you.

If I move to the temple, you can come see me when you have time.

That is good too. I can be in peace, and you don't have to be stuck in between two sides.

But the temple is too far away. I want to see you every day.

Really?

Actually...I do too.

Why have things become like this? If...

If there is a way to satisfy both sides,

So you know all that I am thinking of?

Okay. Perhaps I should have a talk with Liu Qiqi.
