Hua Xu Yin

Episode 35

Report!

Su Yu is awake.

What? He's awake?

His injuries are completely cured.

Cured? How can that be possible?

No one treated him.

And he lost so much blood. How can he wake up?

I'll go take a look.

Why me?

Do you really want to know

why did I use you to awaken the mermaid?

You didn't realize it at all?

Could that mermaid... be my mother?

Clever. You indeed have mermaid blood in you.

I tried to think of ways to awaken her,

and I finally figured out a way.

She is your mother.

You have her blood in your veins.

With your blood and the secret seal,

I can revive her.

Is she really dead?

Yes. You want to know about her story?

Didn't Su Heng mention anything?

Su Heng is a coward.

He dare not tell you

how he betrayed Murong An.

My father betrayed my mother?

Tell me the truth?

What happened?

I won't tell you.

I want you to suffer the pain of not knowing the answer.

If you want to know the truth,

try to get out of here alive.

Close the gate.

For the wedding, all the generalissimos from the various countries will come to congratulate you.

The wedding will be held according to ancient customs.

First, the Emperor must notify all the envoys.

The ambassadors taking care of the wedding ceremony must be a high ranking official.

The Commander and royal administrator will take the position of ambassador and vice-ambassador respectively.

Greetings, Princess Yun.

You can rise. How is practice going?

I'm still learning.

After the wedding,

you won't only be the Emperor's concubine,

you will also return the Kingdom of Wei to the King of Wei.

Return the Kingdom of Wei?

The more important thing is, on the day of the wedding,

All the generalissimos of the Nine Lands,

will all come to Yong'an City to congratulate you.

The thing that I've waited for for so long will soon happen!

Your Majesty,

everything has been arranged.

We're just waiting for the wedding now.

Everything has been prepared for?

There is definitely no problem.

The most important thing is the wandering flame.

Are you sure that it's been fully developed?

It has been fully developed.

Rong Xun's soldiers have also been prepared?

They have been prepared.

His soldiers will guard outside the city.

All the generalissimos that are coming to congratulate,

as long as they enter the city, they will be obliterated.

Even if they can escape the wandering flame,

they cannot escape Rong Xun's arranged soldiers outside the city.

Good!

At that time,

we'll entirely destroy all the generalissimos,

and then the Nine Lands will truly be in our hands!

The Nine Lands was originally ours anyway.

That's right!

Last time your plan to awaken the mermaid failed.

Nothing will happen this time right?

Last time it was because when Jun Fu played the Hua Xu Tune her heart wavered.

So the ceremony stopped in the middle. That won't happen this time.

This time, I want to truly sit upon the dragon throne!

What are you so nervous for?

Your Majesty, today is your wedding day.

You should be happy.

-But if-!-There is no if!

Nothing will go wrong.

Bring out the Emperor's aura!

The success or failure of our family rides on this.

After today when we get rid of all the other powers,

the Nine Lands will return to our Jun family!

Your Majesty,

you are the true owner of the Nine Lands.

Let's go!

Where are you taking me?

Today is the wedding of the Emperor and the Princess of Wei!

We're taking you to see the wedding! Come!

Princess, the generalissimos have already entered the first set of doors.

Good!

But...they also have preparations.

They have each brought large groups of soldiers and horses to stay outside the city doors.

I'm just afraid that if the situation changes, they will rush upon the palace.

Then what about the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Zheng?

Rong Xun's grand general has arrived. According to plan, they have already settled into place.

Good!

As long as Rong Xun's soldiers and horses

are guarding outside the city,

even if the other generalissimos had more soldiers,

it would be hard for them to break in!

Ruler of the Kingdom of Zheng, and Madam Que have arrived!

The second prince of the Kingdom of Chen, Su Xie has arrived!

Madam Xie Shu Ji of the Kingdom of Qi has arrived!

The high generalissimo of the Kingdom of Han and his wife have arrived!

Your Highness, where is this?

Look at you.

After your illness, you're always in such a daze.

This is Yong'an City.

Today is the Emperor's wedding day.

Yong'an City?

Why does it seem a bit familiar?

Why can't I remember?

It seems like...

It's fine. It's enough if you're by my side.

As for the others things,

it's not important.

According to the heavens, the Emperor gives his edict!

In September 12th of the 314th year of the Nine Lands,

The Emperor's ambassador, specially endowed with title of Commander, will host the wedding ceremony

He crowns the Duke of Wei's daughter, Ye Zhen, as the Empress Consort.

Oh! The universe is now organised, and the fair maiden comes.

She will be the supporting force with regards to matters of the Inner Palace,

and will, like all consorts before her, see her husband as the light.

She takes the position of consort...

Last time you were married, you fell to below the city walls.

Nothing can go wrong this time.

Today is an important day.

Remember today.

To you, to me,

it will become extremely important.

Father, me doing this,

is it for your dream of dominating the whole world,

or is it for the people of the Kingdom of Wei?

The royal family rules over the people,

and the people submit to the royal family.

Only with a stable royal family

can the people live peaceful days.

You doing this is both for me,

and for the entire world.

King, the hour has come.

Okay. Hurry and go over.

Remember. Don't make me disappointed again.

You all only care about your own feelings.

When have you ever thought about mine?

I am a living dead person.

Who will care about me?

The king of the Kingdom of Wu and his wife have arrived!

The ruler of the Kingdom of Ye and his wife have arrived!

Why?

This isn't what you wanted.

What did you say?

How do you know that this isn't what I wanted?

Which girl in the Nine Lands doesn't want to marry the Emperor?

Being the Emperor's empress,

mother of the universe, having the whole world's worth of riches and fortune.

Those are others, but that isn't you.

Silly girl. You think I would believe you?

Actually this is the real me.

From the beginning until now, I've been using you, lying to you.

Because I hate you. From the moment I jumped down from the Kingdom of Wei's city walls,

I had already deeply hated you, as well as your kingdom.

The Ye Zhen that I know,

has no hate in her heart. She only knows to love.

Ye Zhen is already dead.

She didn't die.

Even if your name is Jun Fu now,

but in my eyes,

you are still so sweet, too sweet.

So for others,

you could let go of your happiness, your love.

If my disappearance,

would allow you to live better,

I will leave.

But, at any time,

you cannot sacrifice yourself for others.

You've already suffered too much.

You should live for yourself!

The Kingdom of Chen's second prince, Su Xie, has arrived!

The Kingdom of Chen congratulates Your Majesty!

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Thank you, thank you.

-Please come this way.-Thank you, Your Majesty.

What day is it today?

You have brought such a terrible criminal here!

Hurry and take him away!

I am guilty of making you angry!

I was the one who told them to bring him here.

Why?

Because I want a certain someone to see things clearly.

Don't let their heart imagine things.

I've never been like that.

Because I know what belongs to me.

And what cannot be forced to be mine.

For example, a person's heart.

A serious criminal's mouth is still so amazing?

Looks like our Nine Lands' prison is too comfortable?

Your Majesty, it's getting late. We should leave.

That's right!

Today is the great day of happiness in our Nine Lands!

Su Yu. If you kneel to beg for forgiveness,

I will be kind and spare you.

It's a shame that it won't be convenient for me to do that. It will be hard for me to obey your command.

His Majesty wants you to kneel! Kneel!

Kneel down!

Your Majesty, it's very windy here.

I don't feel so well. Let's go.

Okay. I'll leave with you.

Your Majesty, you promised me before,

that if you let him go, I'll listen to you all.

I had no choice either.

I listened to everything you said, I did everything for you!

I'm just asking for his safety!

I'm afraid that I'll never see him again in this life!

If you want to hate, then go ahead.

How can you be like this?

Why can't you let him go? He's fated to die!

Jun Fu. I'm the one who saved you.

Why can't you ever let him go?

When you were Ye Zhen you were like this, and you are still like this now!

Your Majesty, there is no reason for this.

I also wish that the one I loved was you.

I also wish that loving someone wasn't so hard!

But he and I are fated!

For the rest of my life, I won't love another.

Jun Fu!

Then I can only let you watch him die.

-I'm sorry, Jun Fu.-No!

It's fine if you hate me for life.

At least for one life.

No!

He is the one who destroyed my kingdom.

The two of us met repeatedly within a dream.

Both our bodies and fate are split between two things.

In the end, we have fate but not destiny.

This is my fate.

It is the fate of a Princess of Wei!

Now that things have come to this,

Even if my heart will never give up or submit again,

What use is it?

Since I have to let go,

At least I must give up quickly!

If I keep dragging things on, I'll only make more people be in pain!

Sir, you have suffered. I have come to take you away.

No. I cannot leave.

The empress of the Emperor?

Who is she?

Just a zither player.

Why does she look so familiar? It seems like I've seen her somewhere before.

How could you have?

A simple zither player,

how could you have seen her before? It's impossible.

That's true. I haven't seen any strangers before.

Madam, you really don't remember anything?

Should I remember anything?

No. This is good. Very good.

Second prince, all the city entrances have soldiers guarding them.

What do we do?

Go with the flow.

Thank you all our loyal subjects for coming so many miles

to congratulate the Emperor's wedding in Yong'an City!

This is our royal family's happy event!

This is also the fortune of the Nine Lands!

Under this day when we are all together,

There is one more thing that I must announce to all of you.

That year the Kingdom of Wei was destroyed.

I am the same as all of you dear subjects.

I thought that the King of Wei had died in the fire.

Princess Wen Chang had also committed suicide for her kingdom.

The Kingdom of Wei has almost no descendants.

The Kingdom of Chen will thus temporarily rule the Kingdom of Wei.

It turns out, that under the protection of the gods,

both the King of Wei and Princess Wenchang actually didn't die!

This is the heavens protecting the Nine Lands,

and protecting the Kingdom of Wei!

In front of all you as witness, I am using the Emperor's name,

to have the Kingdom of Chen return the Kingdom of Wei's land to them!

-Second Prince, do not fret.-How can you do that?

How dare you!

The Emperor doesn't interfere with the competitions of the seven kingdoms!

That was promised long ago!

The matter between the Kingdoms of Chen and Wei,

how can it be just as the Emperor says?

Yes! that's right!

If it's like this, if you say that our Kingdom of Yan must submit to the Kingdom of Wei,

is our king supposed to just hand us over then?

That's right! That's right!

People of the Kingdom of Chen say something!

Say something! Say something!

We have a decision!

Is the one who has come the Second Prince of Chen?

Yes.

Second Prince of Chen, are you like the other lords,

and are against the Emperor's plan?

The fight between the Chen and Wei Kingdoms over their territory has been decided on long ago.

Today the Emperor, without discussing with my father,

has suddenly told the world that the Kingdom of Wei is to be returned.

He clearly doesn't even care about my Kingdom of Chen!

My kingdom won't submit to this!

Is Su Heng of the Kingdom of Chen here?

Have him come talk.

My father's body isn't well.

He sent me to congratulate the Emperor's wedding.

Then, Second Prince of Chen,

today all that you say here,

can they represent Su Heng and the Kingdom of Chen?

My father had already given the authority to me!

All that I say today,

can represent my father!

It can also represent the Kingdom of Chen!

Okay! I'll let you all see someone!

Look at those people.

All each of them want is power and benefits.

Each of them live with a mask on.

Is this what you want?

Me?

I don't exist in this Yong'an City.

There is only the Emperor.

What I want isn't important.

What the Emperor wants it what is important.

If it isn't by choice,

then how am I any different from the walking dead?

As long as you are by my side,

even if you are the walking dead,

I am also willing.

Look! Look who it is!

How can this be?

Second Prince of Chen!

Do you recognize this person?

This person says that he is your Kingdom of Chen's dead crown prince, Su Yu!

He also says that he will succeed your Kingdom of Chen's throne!

If the Emperor listens to him,

then the revival this time,

sending the crown prince back to his country is a grea merit!

In the future, when Su Yu takes the throne,

I think that as blood brothers, even if anything has gone wrong in the past,

he still won't take your life.

Princess Yun, you speak very well!

If he isn't the crown prince, Su Yu,

then the future throne of the Kingdom of Chen,

will definitely be succeeded by you.

Then I will tell the Emperor to investigate everything,

and then give this person to you to deal with.

Of course he isn't my royal brother.

My royal brother died long ago.

The whole world knows that.

Princess, Emperor, please clear up this issue!

It is really hard to decided on this.

I know,

that just now, in front of all the lords,

I fought back against the Emperor.

Please punish me, Emperor.

If I can smoothly

take the Kingdom of Chen's throne,

the issue of returning the Kingdom of Wei,

it will be easy to talk about it.

Then I will have to ask you,

to in front of everyone here,

to tell all the lords here,

that you are willing to listen to the Emperor and return the Kingdom of Wei!

Then Princess Yun, can you give me this person?

Of course.

Everyone!

My Kingdom of Chen is willing to listen to the Emperor's wish,

and return the Kingdom of Wei!

We don't agree! We don't agree!

We don't agree! We don't agree!

How can we return the Kingdom of Wei?

No! You definitely cannot!

Your Highness, everything has been arranged well.

Okay. Start moving according to our plan.

Yes.

Ying Ge. I'm sorry. Let's go.

Come.

Lords, have you all heard?

All that the Second Prince of the Kingdom of Chen said just now,

they are willing to return the Kingdom of Wei.

I think there is nothing more that you all can say?

Second brother, even if you want to get rid of me,

you shouldn't use our kingdom's benefit as an exchange.

Are you not afraid that Father will blame you when you go back?

It's already come to this.

You don't have to worry about me.

You should worry about yourself instead.

Since I have come here,

I have disregarded everything else.

But you...

What do you mean?

Since it's like this, today,

since it is the Emperor's wedding day,

we will finish the grand plan of restoring the Kingdom of Wei.

It can be counted as

something beautiful that the Emperor has done for the Empress and the Kingdom of Wei.

I thank you for your help.

Such a doubly happy thing,

I am willing to see it happen.

As the Emperor of the Nine Lands,

I will let the Kingdom of Chen go back to it's previous position.

The King of Chen Su Heng is especially gracious, I will reward him!

What Emperor are you?

Our kingdoms' things,

when has it been your right to decide them?

You must not!

That's right!

We oppose this!

We don't agree to this!

-We don't agree!-Yes!

-We don't agree!-Th-this!

-What is this!-T-t-this!

Those who defy the Emperor's orders,

will have an ending like him!

They're killing people!

Rong Xun, you should be well prepared right?

What's going on? So many soldiers!

What are they doing?

What's going on?

Your Excellency, hurry!

What's happened?

Why do we have to leave in such a rush?

Nothing really.

Something is going to change in the Nine Lands.

I'm taking you

to a safe place.

Sir, let's go!

It is merely the fight of a captured beast.

Let's go. Watch how they die.

Father! Why do you have to do this?

If I don't kill them, they'll kill us!

Your Majesty, please take my daughter away.

The massacre will begin immediately.

Let's go.

I never thought that these lords of the court

usually seem like people who can be dealt with using wine,

but in the face of death, there are some who are stubborn bones.

Even if the bones are even tougher, they will still shatter in the face of wandering flames.

But if all of these people die,

How can we answer to all the generalissimos?

The Wandering Flames are just a deterrent.

Some people will live.

As long as he lives, it will be the most useful to us.

Looks like you had plans long ago.

I only do work for the Emperor.

But there is one person who must die.

As you wish!

Hurry and run!

Let's go!

Sir!

Sir!

Hurry and run!

Hurry and run! Run!

Father! Why do you have to kill them all?

Is the royal family not supposed to have even a little kindness?

They are all live people!

Why do you have to do this?

You have gotten all that you wanted.

What use is there for me, this living dead person, to keep living on?

Father, last time,

for the people of Wei, for my own wrongs,

I've already died once.

But this time, I don't want to be so tired anymore.

I don't want to be your tool anymore!

-Zhen'er! You!-Jun Fu!

Don't!

Mu Yan gege! We can finally be together!

We're finally together.

My mermaid pearl!

Zhen'er! Zhen'er!

Madam! Something terrible has happened!

Your Highness, a spy has reported,

all the people that went to participate in the Emperor's wedding have still not returned.

Also, there is no news about them at all!

All the roads to Yong'an City

have all been closed off.

Even the birds sending messages have been killed.

It's as if Yong'an City has disappeared,

there is no news at all!

Looks like, something has happened.

From now on, who will you all listen to?

King of Wei!

-Who are you loyal to?-King of Wei!

What are you doing? Don't you know who I am?

I am the Second Prince of the Kingdom of Chen!

If you dare to treat me like this,

I will have my father send soldiers!

I'll have my father send soldiers and kill you all!

Second Prince of Chen, have you been well?

We can be counted as old acquaintances.

They treat you like this, it is indeed wrong.

You still know your place.

One who has no way of making other submit to you,

and end up using swords and spears, I don't like it.

This is your father's way of doing things.

Your Highness has always been cultured and benevolent.

Why did you do something so bloody?

I will tell my father,

and say that you completely protected me and are worthy of reward.

I never thought that you still know how to joke with me.

I'll leave now.

Second Prince of Chen.

If you want to leave, I won't block you.

But, I have a little request.

You can leave after you do it. Is that okay?

What do you want?

I'm begging you, save me!

Save you? Why?

I can help you do anything!

-I'm begging you!-What can you help me do?

Don't you want the throne of the Kingdom of Chen?

I'll go get it for you!

Don't you hate my father?

I'll help you kill him! I'm begging you!

Okay!

I have always heard that the Second Prince of Chen knows which way to fall when the wind blows.

After today's test, I have found that to be true.

Give it to him.

Today, I can let you go out alive.

I have already been kind.

Second Prince of Chen, are you okay?

I've already said so, I'll do anything for you.

Please be kind to me!

You're the one who said it. I didn't force you.

From today on,

I will only be loyal to you alone!

Good! Well said.

The pain just then

will disappear soon.

The blood wine that you drank can stay for one year.

In one year, as long as you listen to me,

I can definitely ensure your full safety.

Then what about after one year?

As long as I am alive, naturally you will live as well.

I will do anything for you from now on.

Fine. I will have many things for you to do.

Go back and tell your mother,

tell her to remember,

the promise that we once made.

Yes.

Is anyone here?
