Hua Xu Yin

Episode 19

This medicine is a bit bitter.

I've asked Qing'er for some honey.

Drink while it's hot.

Song Ning, what's wrong?

Song Ning, don't cry. What's wrong?

I've left the secret box in Song Ning's care.

Are you trying to find excuses?

If I am a person who breaks my word easily,

I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

Since I gave my word, I will hand it over to you.

It's only that... I've let His Highness down after all.

Brother Shen An.

You see, your king

should be submitting to me.

In that case, you are not exactly betraying him, right?

Song Ning is still rather weak.

I want to give her some peace for a few days.

All right. Since you are a man of your word,

I might as well tell you some news.

What news?

Actually, Song Ning's incident

is due to a spell casted on her.

As for the reasons behind it,

I believe you know it better than me.

Who hated her the most? And who wanted her dead?

You mean to say... Qiqi...?

Impossible. Qiqi is gentle by nature.

She wouldn't do something like that.

Well, your two wives fell sick at the same time,

and the symptoms are extremely similar.

This spell harms both the caster and the victim.

Any spell will leave some traces. If you don't believe,

you can ask your men to search the palace.

Perhaps, under one of the trees,

you will find a candle or a puppet carved with Song Ning's Four Pillars.

That's all I'm going to say. It's up to you whether to believe it or not.

Young Master, go and take a look at Song Ning.

What happened?

You'd better go and take a look.

Excuse me.

Madam, it's bad for your health if you don't eat or drink anything.

Madam, you have just started to recover.

The physician has instructed that the medicine must not be stopped.

Please drink it for your own sake.

If not for your sake, please do it for the sake of Young Master.

Young Master.

What's wrong?

Please persuade Madam. She refuse to eat or drink.

- Leave us first.- Yes.

Song Ning, what's wrong?

Why aren't you eating?

Tell me what is troubling you.

You had a chance to save him.

Who?

Our child. Am I correct?

Song Ning, you don't know the situation back then.

That day, Liu Qiqi fell sick too. She wanted the royal physician to treat her.

But you knew that I was seriously ill then,

yet you asked the royal physician to go and save Liu Qiqi's child.

Am I right?

Song Ning, what I owe Qiqi...

I promised that I won't let her down, but now I have you in my heart.

I've already let her down.

I'm worried if Qiqi loses her child again this time,

she won't be able to bear with it.

Song Ning, we still have many chances.

Believe me. So long you can recover fully,

we will definitely have another...

That's why, to ease the burden in your heart,

you sacrificed the life of our unborn child.

Shen An, I've said this before. No matter what is between Liu Qiqi and me,

you must treat both of your children fairly.

Is it fair that you don't even give him a chance to be born?

Leave.

I have nothing to say to you.

Shen An, do you know that there are things that cannot be undone?

I've hated you before,

but now, I don't even have the strength to hate you.

I'm tired. Just leave.

I will visit you again tomorrow.

Now that things are settled, isn't it time for us to go back?

Yes, but...

What's with that?

I saved Song Ning per your wishes.

Didn't you get what you wanted as well?

Nothing is for free in this world.

I just want to say goodbye to her.

Zhen'er.

The illusion you spoke of,

can you weave it for me now?

Sir, we found this after digging for one whole night.

Why have things become like this?

Young Master, you're here. Madam has been waiting for you.

- Do you want me to pour some tea?- Get out!

Qiqi, I want you to tell me

Tell me that these things are not yours.

Qiqi, I don't care if you lie to me.

Tell me that you weren't responsible for Song Ning's miscarriage.

That you have nothing to do with these sinister spells.

Just tell me that these things are not yours, I will believe you.

Why did you become like this?

I promised you that I will give you everything you want.

Why are you so worried? Why are you so ruthless?

I know you hate Song Ning,

but you should hate me instead of her.

I was the one who betrayed you. I fell in love with her.

I promised you that I will never let you down,

but I failed to control my heart.

You can hit me or kill me,

but why did you do that?

Why must you be so ruthless and scheming?

Qiqi.

Are you still that person?

I will never forgot the person who saved me

That girl who didn't care about anything!

She was naive, innocent, and brave!

But the person in front of me now...isn't her.

Qiqi.

I won't do anything to you.

The gratitude I owe you...I will take good care of you.

But you caused my child to die!

And also harmed Song Ning.

I won't forgive you.

Tomorrow, I will tell the main house to arrange for a good place for you to stay.

From now on, let the two of us not meet ever again.

You still want me to help you?

it's a shame. You are not useful to manipulate anymore.

Besides, a person who depends on lies to exchange for love,

isn't worthy of pity.

You should know now right?

Love...how unworthy of trust it is.

Zhen'er, I'm starting to understand you.

The feeling of wanting to jump from the city walls.

It's not hate, or love. It's just that your heart has become cold.

The final thing keeping you in this world is gone.

Even though he only had a short period of time here,

But I still feel like my life wasn't lonely then.

Even if Shen An treated me coldly again,

I wouldn't be harmed. Because I had him.

But now...even my last shred of respect is gone.

Actually you and Shen An still have a chance.

You've really thought things through?

Zhen'er, I just know to hurry and leave this world.

Before I leave this world,

I can love one more time. That is enough.

Perhaps it is fated in your life that today is the day to open the Hua Xu Illusion.

I will definitely weave a good illusion for you.

Then start.

Tell me, what kind of illusion do you want?

If I never met Shen An, how would things be like?

As you wish. Let's give it a try.

Sir, if we get the secret box, then we can restore your Crown Prince position.

But as I see things, I don't think it will be that easy.

We have to secretly get into the palace. Watch my back, we cannot be careless.

-There's an assassin! Get him!-There's an assassin!

-Why have I run here?-Sir. Sir!

Get them!

You? Why have you come here?

Even I don't know how I got in here.

Just how did you come in?

Perhaps...this is our fate.

-Song Ning! You're not allowed to come with me.-Zhen'er!

Hey! What are you doing?

I must kill him before Song Ning finds him! I promised Song Ning that I would weave a beautiful illusion for her.

-And that is to kill Shen An?-You don't get it!-Zhen'er! Why are you here?

I have no time to explain. If I told you that your future will change if you save him,

and you will die because you save him, will you let me kill him?

No one can predict what will happen in the future.

But Zhen'er, if you don't do anything because you are afraid of what will happen as a result, that is wrong!

-You don't get it! He must die!-You-!

Zhen'er, I must save him! When did you become so cruel?

Because I am not her!

-Hurry and let go of me!-Just where is this place?

-This is an illusion.-An illusion?

Isn't this the border between the Wei and Chen Kingdoms?

Could it be that we are at the moment when Shen An lost the war and no one knew if he lived or died?

-Since you know, don't keep me from what I need to do.-What are you going to do in here?

I am an illusionist. Naturally, I have to weave the illusion.

Illusionist?

-I must kick him out of here, I can't let him block me.-Why have we come back here?

Just how did you come in?

-I don't know how I came in here either.-You are so annoying.

Don't follow me. Or else...

It's very dangerous here. I have to protect you.

It's dangerous! Let's hurry and leave!

Why did you save me just now? You're not afraid I'll kill you?

I am willing to face that risk.

Why?

Because...you are my Zhen'er.

What? You've never seen a handsome guy before?

You mean 'shuai' as in 'xi shuai'?(Note: 'Xi shuai' means grasshopper.)

- What? You've never seen a handsome guy before?- You mean 'shuai' as in 'xi shuai'?

Have you remembered me?

Leave!

Let's go that way.

This way.

How do you know that they went this way?

Because I am the illusionist. I can control the illusion.

Then was that your doing just now?

That was an accident.

I do quite like this type of accident.

The snow is falling more and more. Will we freeze to death in the illusion?

If we have nothing to guard against the cold, then of course. Because here is the same as the real world.

Then to keep from dying just like that, let's go into the cave to take shelter.

Okay.

-What's wrong?-Nothing.

-Why is your face so red?-You are such a nag. Let's go!

Let's go! Hurry up!

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking...why do people fall in love?

Why...will they do so many things for the other person?

I heard that people in love are two parts of a star that fell from heaven.

Only if they are fated to be together will they be united.

Then why are there still so many people who are brokenhearted?

Because they found the wrong person. It is also possible that the two people together

find it impossible to avoid troubles of the world. Fate is unavoidable.

So if you know that it will be like this, why not just not love?

No. This is just like saying that people will die sooner or later.

Are you not going to live because you know what will happen in the end?

Why not think that dying is a way to escape?

Living but wanting to die is the most painful.

Ye Zhen. Just what happened to you?

I've said it many times. I'm not Ye Zhen.

I am Jun Fu. Please don't mix us up.

Is that so?

It's late. You should sleep.

Are you not going to sleep?

I'll guard you.

Just what happened to your Ye Zhen?

It's I...I was the one who caused her to die.

Perhaps...you two were fated not to have fate.

No! Even with no fate, I still want to persevere until the end.

I should hurry and find Song Ning.

Oh no! They've already left! I must hurry after them!

Shen An!

Song Ning.

Zhen'er? Why are you here?

I followed you all the way here.

Followed me? Why?

Have you not figured out what is different here?

Actually here...is just the Hua Xu Illusion.

You saved Shen An and fell in love with Shen An.

Do you know what will happen in the end with him?

What you saw is the future.

Since you know, do you still want to go find Shen An?

I don't know if all of this is an illusion or real.

I also don't know if what you let me see was real or an illusion.

But Zhen'er, I've already fallen in love with him.

Even if it's the wrong path,

I will continue taking it until the end.

No! This is just the beginning.

If you give up, you will have an entirely different life!

Why should I do that? That is not my life.

If I do not dare to love because I am afraid,

if I know that I can't get it yet I don't even try,

then what meaning is there to life?

Zhen'er. No matter how the ending is,

That is still the path that we once took.

Instead of living but wanting to die, I'd rather love with passion!

How are things?

I...have I done wrong?

Why?

If there is no love, then there will be no happiness.

We have no reason to separate those who should be in love.

Even if the final ending isn't good.

Okay! Then let's give them a happy ending. This is what I promised Song Ning.

Miss, I have a request. If there is something that I need to leave here for,

please take care of...please take care of my big brother.

Oh no! Song Yan has come, what to do?

-Have you seen this person before?-No.

Take a look, have you seen this person before?

This is all of my money. Don't worry, as long as you can heal him, he won't treat you poorly.

This isn't good. If I cannot get Song Ning's brother away, her ending will still be the same.

I have a way!

-Sister, please wait a second. I want to ask you about someone.-What is it?

Have you seen the girl in this painting before?

Stop there!

Miss, you've finally returned.

Miss, even though you and I might have a promise,

but if my eyes cannot recover,

I hope that I won't ruin your whole life.

Shen An?

Song Ning.

I just knew that it was you.

I always knew that it was you.

Husband, I'm handing myself over to you well.

Do you feel like Song Ning will be happy this time?

Compared to the illusion's happiness, I'd rather live in the reality.

Zhen'er. No, I should call you Jun Fu.

Are you willing to go find the truth with me,

and find out who you are?

Those two brats! I must catch them!

Let's go!

Stop there! Stop there!

Song Ning.

If we don't dare to love because we are afraid,

If we know we can't get it but don't even try anything,

Then what meaning is there to life?

Zhen'er, no matter how the ending is,

That is still a road that we once walked together.

Rather than live and want to die,

I'd rather love passionately!

Could it be...I really am Ye Zhen?

There is an assassin! An assassin!

Madam. Madam! There's a thief in the palace

Madam. Madam? Madam!

Madam! Madam!

Someone come! Someone hurry and come! Someone come!

I just knew that it was you. I always knew that it was you.

Shen An. I have come to say goodbye.

Where are you going?

You must take care!

Young Lord! Young Lord!

Young Lord, Madam...Madam is dead!

Sir, go!

Sir, go!

Song Ning! Don't scare me, don't scare me.

Say something, Song Ning! Song Ning you cannot die!

You hate me so much, and I still haven't died yet.

You cannot die! Song Ning!

You cannot die. Song Ning!

Shen An, do you know how much I love you?

And do you know how you have hurt me?

Song Ning!

Song Ning still died in the end.

Shen An. At the end, you still forsook the one who saved you.

Have you always thought that Liu Qiqi is your savior?

She used the fact that your eyes couldn't see anything then,

and impersonated Song Ning.

But you should have guessed it long ago. Liu Qiqi's body is so weak.

How could she have carried you for seven days and nights in the middle of a snowstorm?

Have you never suspected it?

Or is it to say...you knew long ago.

It's just that you didn't dare to admit it!

You were afraid that the one you didn't want to marry,

would become the one you loved the most!

The one you are sorry to most is the one you shouldn't have forsook.

Shen An. I really don't know what I should say about you.

You were too arrogant, too full of yourself!

That Song Ning would have an ending like this, it was by your hand!
