Hua Xu Yin

Episode 28

I found this in your room.

I heard that you wanted to give it to me as a present.

You hate me.

This couldn't make it in time for your birthday. I took the kit and brought it over 400,000 meters,

rushing back just to give this cup to you for your birthday. But unfortunately it was still a waste.

How can it not be? In your heart, I'm just a tool.

No. You know how important you are in my heart. I've never treated you as a tool.

Please remember Lord Hao. Now, I am no longer the little girl that you can order around as you wish in your home.

From the day I stepped out of Ping Mansion, there was nothing between us anymore.

You've really put everything down?

What is between me and Ping Hao? I don't remember anymore.

I've already completed the last task for you. You have also married Jin Que.

I don't owe you. Isn't it time for you to return the promise ball to me?

I will return it. But not now.

You also know. The promise ball is the only relationship between the two of us.

I cannot bear to give it to you.

It's not funny if you say that anymore.

You did all you could to get Jin Que. Now that you have her, don't forsake her.

I know. You hate me. I forsook you.

Yes. You did forsake me. You and Jin Que both forsook me.

I won't give you the promise ball.

I know you will hate me. But that's fine.

At least this way, you have no way of letting me go. Take care.

Big sister!

-Big sister.-Madam Yue, why have you come?

It's not lucky for a new bride to show her face everywhere.

You still hate me?

How can you say that? Don't forget, you are Ying Ge. You are my good big sister.

Ever since childhood, you raised me. The gratitude that I have to you and Lord Hao, I'll never forget it for life.

I wish you two to be together forever, until your hair turns white.

Madam, you've stood there for so long. Have some tea and rest a bit.

Madam! Madam! What's wrong Madam?

Ying Ge, you must remember. You can never go back on this promise.

-Or else what will happen?-Break into a million pieces.

King, Ping Hao has asked to see you.

Okay. Then let him come in.

Please come in, Ping Hao.

-Greetings, King.-What is it?

There are some political issues I would like to discuss with you, my King. - Alright, please sit.

King! King!

King, hurry and go see Madam Shang! She suddenly has a terrible headache, and she looks progressively worse!

-What happened?-I don't know either!

-Madam! Madam!-Madam! Madam!

What is going on?

Jin Que. Jin Que! Jin Que! Jin Que!

Jin Que! What's wrong? What's wrong?

Let me do it.

-Leave.-Hurry, leave.-Yes.

King. We should go in.

What for? Do you know how to treat her?

Lord Hao and Madam Shang are together alone. That isn't right according to the rules!

This person came from him! What can be according to rules or not?

King!

Are you better?

-Why do you have to treat me like this?-I just treated you.

Madam Shang, why do you say that?

I know..that this is your doing!

No.

You cannot blame me for this. You asked for it.

What? Have you forgotten?

This is all because you went back on your promise.

Rong Xun. Just what do you want?

Ever since the day you sent me into the palace, we were both cleared of any debts!

Why can't you let go of me, why make things so hard on me?

Do you know how my heart hurts when I see you like this?

I cannot bear to let you be in pain, and I even more cannot bear to separate from you.

-Say, what should we do?-Just what do you want?

Nothing really. I just hope that you can still be loyal to Ping Mansion,

and have my in your heart. You can do it. Lie down.

You must not harm your body.

Lord Hao,

the king has sent me to ask how things are going.

Is the Madam in an urgent situation?

The king can be at ease.

Madam Shang is alright. It's just a old illness.

Thank you, Lord Hao.

However, she still cannot be careless.

I'm afraid that it might happen again.

Lord Hao, you are a miraculous doctor!

Our Madam Shang's illness is much better!

Greetings, King.

Have you investigated the reason?

Yes.

-Yes.-Yes.

Speak.

There is indeed something behind Madam Shang's illness.

All the royal doctors cannot find anything wrong with Madam Shang's body.

But Madam Shang keeps suffering.

Then what is going on?

It must have to do with the promise ball.

Someone still uses it now?

That means that someone is still using shadow assassins.

The Madam Shang by your side,

is Rong Xun's shadow assassin.

What happened last time was because she wasn't willing to listen to Ping Hao's orders.

That's why she was controlled by the promise ball.

So, that's why she is in so much pain.

This type of magic is extremely frightening.

The one controlled has no ability to make their own choices.

Besides, Madam Shang is also by your side.

She is very dangerous. King, you must do some considering.

You should distance yourself from Madam Shang.

She is Rong Xun's person!

I won't let her leave me.

That day she could disobey Rong Xun's wishes

and not care about her own self, and choose to suffer instead.

She also risks the danger of my discovering and being beheaded.

At that moment, I understood what she was thinking.

Since that moment, I knew.

She no longer belongs to Rong Xun.

Your highness, what would you like to do?

If we need to release the control of the promise ball,

To do that, we must have Rong Xun hand over the promise ball.

Destroy the relationship between him and Que'er.

He definitely will not do that.

Besides that, there is still another method

Your Highness, you want to use the Rong family's soul-shifting technique

to minimize the promise ball's power?

We must not ever do that.

The soul-shifting technique is an exclusive skill practised by members of the Rong family for self-protection.

If it is damaged, there will be an imbalance

and its powers of self-protection will decrease significantly.

Furthermore, I have heard it will affect the stability of the kingdom.

I know.

Since the day Que'er decided to rebel against Rong Xun

I've decided to help her.

This is the only way

-Your highness... - No need to discuss anymore

You can leave now

Yes

My Lord has finally produced the illusion leaf.

Since I have this, it doesn't matter who...

Her life and death is all in the palm of my hand.

Though legend has it that someone did produce illusion leaves,

But no one has ever truly used it before.

My Lord, do you really plan to move forward on this?

Rong Yuan has an unfathomable power, and pays great attention to detail.

It's seems like he already found out some things.

If we don't move quick

We might lose and fall.

Madam

Has the King arrived yet?

I did go ask around

They said he is busy with the state affairs

Busy with state affairs

Does he not have time just to eat?

I'll go check on him.

Come catch me.

You can't catch me right?

How is this being busy?

I got you. I got you.

Come.

I was blind. Please forgive me.

Come

Come and catch me.

You can't catch me

Alright

Good girl

Go and play with the shuttle now.

Go on.

Xiang Niang Niang, I'm going to go play over there

No wonder Xi He likes you so much.

When she was a baby, her mother already passed away

I wanted to choose someone within the place to be her Mother Queen.

and raise her up to grow into an adult.

I thought for a long time

Only you are most suitable

To be the princess' mother, you mean...

In the future, you are the princess' mother

You will be my official wife

Xi He is very good and cute

I really like her

But to raise Xi He, I'm afraid...

What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well.

That is true. When I see your temper,

When you are angry, it is like you do not want your life!

I do worry that one day

One day Xi He will anger you and you will throw a fit at her.

It's possible she cannot deal with it.

And at that point, I won't be able to deal with it either!

When have I done that?

With me here, what can you not face?

From now on, you will be her mother.

Let us both raise her up together.

to be an adult. Will you be willing?

Yes, I am willing to be Xi He's mother.

But to be the official wife..

There is no but...

If I said you are, then you are.

In a few days, I will give you a coronation ceremony.

Congratulations, Lady Xiang for becoming the official wife.

You have come, Duke Ping?

Your Highness

Thank you your highness

Again you're calling me your highness.

Thank you my husband.

You have always treated me with love and care

Whether I am the official wife or not

I'm still willing to be with you

That King and the Madam can be so in love, it is our kingdom's fortune.

Congratulations King, congratulations Madam.

Isn't this what you and the common people want to see?

Madam is indeed right.

I need to take Xi He back for her afternoon nap.

Okay. Go on.

It's so hot in the afternoon.

Go back and get some rest early, Husband.

I got it.

Duke Ping, come with me.

There is something important that I want you to investigate.

Yes.

Have you ever heard

that someone is using magic

that our Rong family already forbid for use?

Using a promise to trap a person's heart.

Something like this happened?

Isn't that a big crime?

Correct. All people in our Rong family know,

how dangerous this magic is.

As they say, to gain something you must lose something.

At the same time something is gained, both parties need to pay a price.

This type of magic is also like that.

It might be able to control a person's heart,

but at the same time, it will destroy a person's heart.

It will make one's wishes go out of control.

In the end, they will lose themselves.

In the end, they will be tied up by earthly matters.

How can I let outsiders use our family magic?

I will definitely do my best to investigate.

It's not that we cannot let anyone use it.

The people of the Rong family cannot use it even more so.

Because they clearly know it is dangerous,

yet they still use it.

That is the most terrible crime!

Of course, of course.

Rong Xun.

Now, the closest in the Rong family are you and me.

The Kingdom of Zheng's dominion,

has always been guarded by our Rong family.

I need not remind you of the achievements of our ancestors.

Also now, the Kingdom of Zheng,

can have such a position in the Seven Countries.

It relied on the wise rule of our ancestors.

You can see it too.

The Seven Kingdoms are each keeping to their own place right now.

But there isn't any kingdom,

who can take my kingdom's territory.

Why?

It is also because our Kingdom of Zheng

is at peace with strong rulers.

Rong Xun,

I think that if the two of us to work together,

we can definitely protect the Rong kingdom.

Do you understand what I mean?

I will remember your teachings.

What are you doing?

My Lord, please let me say things I shouldn't.

Go ahead.

My Lord, you are assassinating your master the King.

Even if you get the throne, your name isn't legitimate!

It will result in the anger of the people.

Anger? What anger?

That throne was mine to start with. Mine.

My Lord, you've changed too much.

I feel afraid.

What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid...that you will become a different person.

Could this be the result of using the promise ball magic?

Perhaps, there was a reason why members of the Rong family were prohibited from practising such secret techniques.

That is reasonable!

Shut up!

For the throne,

for what belonged to me in the first place,

I've already given up too much.

I can't turn back now.

And I am not able to turn back.

Besides, I have the Kingdom of Zheng's treasure, the soul gathering sword.

It is a divine device just like the wandering flame.

With a divine device like this, I don't believe

that I cannot get back what I want.

Then what will we do about Miss Ying Ge?

If it is mine...I will definitely get it back.

Even if I cannot get it,

it still cannot belong to him!

We must break out of here.

Yes. It's getting colder.

The ice has almost reached the illusion itself.

Zhen'er, this soul gathering sword

was originally an item of the Rong family.

Wait here for me.

I'll go to the royal palace and find Rong Xun, to ask him how things are.

Then be careful.

What is this?

You must do this.

Listen to me.

This is something worthy of beheading!

What else can we do?

I cannot do anything right now!

Because I'm pregnant.

P-pregnant?

What has Rong Xun done recently?

Nothing.

This Rong Xun is extremely smart and has many tactics.

He has ambition as well. But he just went onto the wrong path.

I'd rather offend the entire world,

I don't want to use underhanded tactics to deal with him.

Then we will have to see if Duke Ping

understands the hints you gave him.

I keep holding it in, but he keeps doing wrong things.

This is the last chance I"m giving him.

It's yours! The king still doesn't know right now.

But he'll know sooner or later.

D-don't panic.

I-I...what should I do now?

I'm not afraid, what are you being afraid for?

I've thought it through. At the worst, I'll just die!

Don't! Hong Yu, you cannot be like this.

Hong Yu. Hong Yu!

Right now, it is the only way to live!

You must do this!

Hong Yu, I'm begging you!

If I do it, can I really leave?

Put this poisonous powder onto his sword,

and then someone will help us leave this palace!

King, then the soul gathering sword..?

The soul gathering sword will swallow a person's heart.

If Rong Xun can still be saved,

I will take back the soul gathering sword.

If he refuses to change,

If I don't save him,

then no one can save him.

Tonight, you must not forget.

And then...

I understand.

Greetings, Your Highness!

My accessory fell. I was telling him to find it for me.

If you lost it then just leave it.

When you go back you can have the blacksmiths make you a new set.

Thank you Your Highness.

Go investigate this soldier's background.

Yes.

Your Highness, Madam Shang feels tired,

so she won't come tonight.

Okay.

Alright then. Let her get some more rest.

Yes.

Get up. Go kill him.

Get up. Kill him.

Get up. Kill him.

Get up. Kill him.

Go on. Go!

Que'er, why have you come like this?

-You can leave.-Yes.

You look even better this way.

What is it?

Are you still half asleep?

It's fine

Since you've come, stay here

and rest some more.

What's wrong with you?

Relax, I'm not an intruder.

If I am, I wouldn't have saved you then.

You aren't someone of this world.

Who are you?

At this time,

Ying Ge should have already made her move.

If it is like this, Ying Ge's consequences will be bad.

If she couldn't kill the king, besides dying,

the only one who can subdue her is me.

And if she can't do it?

Then in this world, the only place where she can go,

is my place here.

Do you feel like I am very cruel?

I sent her into the palace,

it wasn't to watch the two of them

fly in a pair themselves. (be in love)

Is Lord Hao here?

My Lord, I'll go take a look.

My Lord, this is bad! Something has happened to the madam!

Greetings, Lord Hao.

How is the Madam?

She is not ill.

Why is she like this?

Just now Madam said that she has a twin sister.

That should be the reason

behind Madam feeling her twin sister's pain.

There is really something like that?

There is indeed a feeling of connection between twin sisters.

It's just...it's mostly during childhood.

I never thought that the connection is still so strong with the Madam.

Is there medicine for it?

There's no need. She'll be fine in a little bit.

-You can go.-Yes.

How are you doing? Are you better?

My Lord, has something happened to big sister?

Tell me.

Has something happened to big sister?

It's fine. Get some rest.

You'll be fine very soon.

Even though I don't know what you've done to big sister,

but I'm asking you not to hurt her.

We're already very wrong to her!

I won't.

It's our fault.

We shouldn't have treated her that way.

Tell me,

are you regretting marrying me?

I want to ask you...do you regret it?

I know.

What do you know?

On the day of the wedding,

I know you went to find big sister.

Even if you don't admit it,

I know your heart.

I can feel

that the one you've always loved is big sister.

In your heart, you don't love Jin Que.

Right?

Okay, don't overthink it.

Get some rest.

-How are things? Has anything happened in the palace?-The spy hasn't come to report anything.

She should be controlled by Rong Xun's promise ball.

And muddled her heart.

So she did something that went against her own ethics.

The power of the promise ball is in her body.

Only the one controlling her can get it out.

Right now if there is no way to remove the promise ball's control,

she is still a killing tool.

Stay in the library in my place.

Don't let anyone come in.

I want to help her escape from the promise ball's control.

King Zheng, why do you trust me so much?

You are not of this world.

But you know everything.

You are indeed very intelligent.

I know that I can trust you.

I'm just curious...

Who are you? Where did you come from?

I come from the reality. You are all from the illusion.

Everything here is an illusion.

An illusion? People of the illusion?

You are saying that I and my kingdom are all...an illusion?

Not entirely.

Everything here is an illusion to me.

To you, it is reality.

This is just a different world.

If you feel like you are truly living,

then that is reality.

Even if it is like this,

I still want to give her freedom.

I'll leave outside to you.
