Hua Xu Yin

Episode 20

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

You are too arrogant, too full of yourself!

That Song Ning would have this sort of ending, it's all by your hand!

-Rong Min?-Hand over the secret box!

Just who are you?

It's not important who I am. Hand over the secret box!

Just who are you?

If you want to get revenge, then go find the Kingdom of Zhen's Rong Xun.

I'm just afraid that you won't have the life to do that!

Shen An, I've finally really saved you!

Qiqi! Qiqi!

Shen An! Shen An.

-Sir, they came for the secret box. How is General Shen?-He's been poisoned.

I'm just afraid that it will be hard to neutralize it quickly.

Song Ning, you refuse to wake up from your slumber.

But I have no way to do anything for you.

I know you've always treated me as a best friend, but I don't even know who you are!

No matter if I really am the person you think I am, you are still my true friend.

Go well.

My head hurts!

Jun Fu! What's wrong?

Your Majesty, let me die! Hurry and let me die!

I've told you long ago, you'll only be fine if you don't think of anything.

You've been naughty again. Remember what I say, forget everything. Only that way will you live without pain.

-Come.-It hurts so much!

Jun Fu. Have you remembered anything?

I don't remember anything. I only remember you.

-Your Majesty.-Your Majesty.-Have you seen Miss Jun Fu?

-It seems like she went to the library.-Go on.

What are you looking for?

-I never thought that there is a place like this in the palace!-You didn't know?

The royal family's library is famous in the Nine Lands.

At it's height, every sect, skill, and house's secret techniques could be found here.

But it's become faded now. All that's left are these useless old books.

And I thought I could find some useful books to fix my lack of memory.

Isn't it better if you can't remember? The more you remember the more pain you are in.

-Why not just not remember anything, right?-You can say that,

But...I feel like, I seems to have forgotten some people and some things.

Just what did I forget?

Ah, I remember! Last time when we played chess you lost to me, and promised to put fertilizer on my flowers.

-No way! Fertilizer is so stinky!-What? You have to fulfill the bet!

Ouch! That...my head really hurts! I have to go back to sleep!

-Don't think that you can run away!-I'm going! Bye!

If you can keep going this way without any worries, that would be great.

Song Ning's Grave

General Shen has sat here for three days.

His poison hasn't been neutralized yet. What I gave him was just a temporary suppressant.

To neutralize it all, we must get an antidote.

Have you found out what Rong Min's identity is?

I found it. Her previous identity was all fake. The poison she used was called Seven Murder.

Only the Kingdom of Zhen's Seven Murder Magic can neutralize it.

I'm just afraid that she is what the King of Zhen mentioned, the hidden assassin.

The Kingdom of Zhen's spy and the Son of Heaven of the Nine Lands both appeared in Cui Sha Palace.

-I'm afraid it was for the same thing.-The secret box?

We must quickly have General Shen give it to us.

I'm afraid...the king cannot hang on for long.

I should have known that she was the one who saved me long ago.

I had that feeling long ago.

It's just that every time I thought about it, I felt like I was sorry to Qiqi.

But perhaps if the two of us weren't both so stubborn, I could have faced my inner heart long ago.

The two of us were a married couple, but I never even drank wine and talked with her before.

Now that I think about it, after going through so much, happiness was just such a short period of time.

If she didn't save me, perhaps it would be better for her.

No. General Song never regretted being with you.

You two just mixed up partners, with someone separating you two on purpose.

The one who caused Ah Ning and Qiqi to die...I won't let them go easily. Don't worry,

I won't make you wait for long.

General Shen, you must still take care. Right now, to the Kingdom of Zhen's military, you are their top enemy.

Besides, during the last battle with them, you defeated them. Right now, you are even more of a nuisance to them.

Should I still care about those things?

Have you heard of the Kingdom of Wei's legend? After a person dies,

they will become a bird to circle this world.

That must be Ah Ning. She came to say goodbye.

Song Ning

Let's go. She never liked people wavering back and forth.

Eldest Prince, I know that you came to get the king's secret box.

But previously, to save Ah Ning's life, I used it as an exchange and gave it to the Son of Heaven.

For my selfish motives, I forsook the king's orders and your trust.

It will be hard for me to avoid guilt.

I will give everyone a good answer for all of this.

-You let the Son of Heaven take the secret box?-Sir, I'll go arrange to get the box back from the Son of Heaven.

Wait a second!

Who are you?

Sirs, you are indeed both sharp. Since I know the location of the secret box, then I'll leave now.Ying Ge, Kingdom of Zhen Assassin

How are you doing? She's just an assassin.

Preserving your life is the most important. Let's go!

Auntie, just what use is there to this secret box?

I heard that the seal inside this box is the national treasure of Chen.

Every country is fighting over it.

- We cannot let it fall into the hands of others.- Why can't it be opened?

Su Heng is a very calculating person. He must want to keep the box from falling in other peoples' hands,

so he put both traps and a spell to make sure only the person meant for it can open it.

You're saying...Su Yu?

Precisely him.

But this is good too. Now Jun Fu is in our hands.

If we want to catch him, it'll be easy.

Jun Fu's mission in the Kingdom of Wei has finished. I don't want her to have any more associations with Su Yu.

Even though right now the medicine can suppress her memories, but the headaches are coming back more often.

I'm afraid...that she will remember more and more.

Not only will she be in pain, it will also impede our plan.

We cannot think about so much now.

Your Majesty, do you still remember why I originally agreed to save her?

I could not face the risk of losing our Emperor of the Nine Lands.

To go save a life that was already dead. Your Majesty, living is your responsibility.

If I use power on you for a few more days, the poison in your body can definitely be cleared.

No need. I think this time the people of the Kingdom of Zhen have already gone to Yong'an City to find the secret box.

-I definitely cannot drag your time out anymore.-Shen An, you did fail with the secret box,

but I trust that Father definitely won't heavily punish you.

You must not do anything stupid.

I've done too many stupid things in my life.

Don't worry. I know what I need to do.

Sir, it's getting late. We should get going.

Eldest Prince. You were able to escape death this time, but the future road will be even harder to walk.

Please take care.

Husband? You've come!

Come over here!

Husband? You've come! Come, practice the spear with me!

Young Lord, you've come?

I will come clean every day. As if Madam is forever living here.

Generalissimo, the soldiers are all ready. We're just waiting for you!

♫Missing that day and that glance, ♫

♫we wasted our forever because we could not liberate ourselves. ♫

♫It is fated that I will not be able to reach your shores. ♫

♫Our first embrace came from the ice and snow. ♫

♫As I remember the flickering flames of red candles, ♫

♫and the misery of our love that was destined not to be. ♫

♫My weary heart wonders how to recount our journey, ♫

♫yet can only see the loneliness in our superficial lives. ♫

♫My heart has withered, and there is no longer any hatred, nor love ♫

♫Indifference cannot relate to the bitter feelings of a passionate love. ♫

♫Missing that day and that glance, ♫

♫we lost our forever because we could not liberate ourselves. ♫

♫It is fated that I will not be able to reach your shores. ♫

♫In the vast open country, the song ends, and the people disappear. ♫

What did the letter say?

General Shen has been killed.

Brother Shen. Let us be brothers again in the next life.

What other bad news is there? Tell me.

The Kingdom of Wei has revolted.

The Kingdom of Chen lost much of their soldiers. The two kingdoms are currently fighting each other.

The one who gets the most from this is the Kingdom of Zhen. They were unscrupulous and purposefully created tensions within the palace.

On the battlefield, there are many cases where lives are used to exchange for success.

But...the tactics were despicable.

Let's go!

-Where are we going?-The royal palace!

In the end...it wasn't avoidable.

I just knew that your fingers look pretty.

-But you still don't have to be so narcissistic. -Who is being narcissistic?

Right in front of me!

-Can't you be serious?-This is as serious as I get!

Hey, how do you write "serious"?

No wonder Teacher sighs whenever she mentions a certain someone...

Precisely because Auntie likes to sigh, so I make her so happy!

You didn't know? Actually, Auntie is over 100 years old! Why does she look so pretty? It's because I make her happy!

If I make her happy, she laughs. Once she laughs, she gets younger! Forget it, let's not talk about Auntie.

If we talk about her, I feel like she'll appear at the door at any time! Always talking to me about those "kingdom", "the world", "power"!

Then...what do you want to talk about?

-You!-Me?

Just now I heard you play the zither and it seems like you're kind of out of it.

Are you thinking about how to sneak out to go play?

Only you would think about that!

As for me, I was thinking about some people and some things just now.

It seems like they happened at some point in time. Hey, when can my illness be cured?

Don't worry! Everything will be fine. As long as I am here, you'll be fine every day.

I believe you!

Okay! Since it's like this, can you do something for me?

Okay! As long as you say so, I'll do it.

-Then I want you to...-Hey! Teacher has come!

You stinky brat! See how I'll punish you! Stop right there!

Jun Mansion

Your Majesty! The Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Chen has asked to see you.

Su Yu is indeed quite daring. Let's go.

Please.

Is it too dangerous to ask to see him like this?

They guessed long ago that I'd come looking for the secret box. Instead of sneaking in at night, why not come in the right way and ask for our box?

Miss, please stay here. The Son of Heaven only wants to see Sir.

-Wait for me here.-Please be careful Sir.

This way please, Crown Prince.

If you wear it...then you are the ruler of the Kingdom of Chen.

All of those who once bullied you, harmed you, they will all be under your foot.

Father!

You want the royal throne? You're not fit. You are my son,

but I've never loved you! Or else why would I have sent you out to be a hostage since childhood?

Su Xie is my favorite son.

The royal throne will be passed to him!

You are the traitor of the Kingdom of Chen! You are not fit to be the king. You deserve to die!

No! You are the King of Chen. Kill him. Kill your Father! Then you'll get what you want!

Kill him.-You are not fit.

Kill him!-You are not fit!

-Kill him. Kill him!-You are not fit!

You are not fit! You are not fit! You are not fit!-Kill him!

Kill him!-You are not fit! you are not fit!

Your fame is indeed true, you are extremely strong.

Up until now, there hasn't been anyone who has been able to face their heart's fears.

You are the first person who have successfully passed the Qi Men Dun Jia trigrams formation.

Thank you for your praise. I apologize for bothering you.

You know that you're bothering me? That you are looking for me, what orders do you have?

I have come here with a request.

I think you knew my motive for coming long ago.

That's why you purposely set an enchantment to test me.

-You came for the secret box?-Precisely.

You happened to get the secret box that my Father left to General Shen.

-That indeed did happen.-The secret box is my kingdom's treasure.

I think that after playing with it, you should have lost interest in it.

I've come today to get the box back.

Things should be returned to their owner, or else that would be impolite, right?

Jun Fu! Give the secret box to the Crown Prince.

Auntie, what are you doing?

-If you want her to live, then listen to me! Or else I-!-Auntie, don't hurt her!

-Go away! -Okay. I'll listen to you. I'll listen to everything.

-Let go of her.-Okay. Open this secret box.

Stop!

Auntie, what are you doing? Do you want her to die?

Come. Come to my side.

-Come over!-I won't go over. I don't want to be your killing tool anymore.

In your eyes, I am just a chess piece that can do something for you whenever you want!

When she put my life in danger, I made up my mind to leave.

Kill her!

Stop it!

-What are you doing?-Hurry and go!-Go!-Go!

-Go after them and kill them!-Yes!

I hope that this time she won't disappoint us. Jun Fu must complete her mission.

Chen Palace-Your Highness.

-Speak.-As you ordered, the Eldest Prince and I went to General Shen to get the secret box back.

But I never would have thought that the box had already fallen into the Son of Heaven's hands.

So Sir and I wanted to enter the palace to get the box back.

But I never thought that we fell for a trap. Afterwards, I couldn't find Sir.

-Did anything else happen?-Princess Yun has a new zither player.

Her name is Jun Fu. But the person...looks exactly the same as Ye Zhen from before.

The one who activated the Hua Xu Tune was Ye Zhen.

She clearly already died. Right now, the one who plays the Hua Xu Tune looks exactly the same as her.

-Your Highness, leave it to me. I'll go take care of her.-Wait. Think of a way,

-To bring that Jun Fu back here.-Bring her back?

Have you fallen in love with the Eldest Prince?

Do you still remember your promise from childhood?

-I remember. To forever protect the Eldest Prince.-Good.

You must remember. He is the master, you are the servant.

It will forever be this way.

I will remember your teachings, Your Highness. I do not dare to wish for things I am not allowed to have.

-Reporting!-Come in.

Madam, a secret envoy is here.

- Send him in.- Yes. Please.

The Eldest Prince appeared outside the city walls and entered the palace, causing a huge fight.

He successfully escaped, and has disappeared.

-I got it. Go on, report more news when you get it.-Yes.

Mother, just what does that bastard want?

His actions must have someone guiding him behind the scenes.

I'm afraid that the king is hatching a plan without us knowing. If that is true, it will definitely have to do with the succession to the throne.

Then what should we do?

I originally wanted to use sorcery to make the king lose his memory.

This way everything will be in our control. I never thought that his inner power is beyond what I thought it was.

-You...you poisoned Father?-What are you in a panic for?

What do you think I'm doing it for? Do you think that I can watch him give the throne to that bastard?

What does he count as? Based on what can he compare to you?

-But...that is still my Father!-Father?

In his heart he only has that vixen and her son.

When has he ever put us in his heart? Your heart is too soft.

I know. But Mother, what should we do now?

As long as Father is here, we have no way to ever take power. Do we...really have to kill him?

There is only one path we can take now.

That is to force him to weaken.

Then the Kingdom of Chen will all be ours.
