=Episode 14=

You're beating your pregnant wife in the street!

Do you think Chu State has no laws?

A woman like her

deserves to be beaten to death.

Wait,

what business is it of yours?

Don't tell me you're the one she's been

sleeping with.

(The other man?)

(So he really is the other man!)

How dare you!

This is Diviner Song Ziyuan of Chu State.

How dare you speak so recklessly?

Diviner Song...

I meant no offense.

Please forgive me, Diviner Song.

Forgive me.

You treat your pregnant wife

with such cruelty.

Without verifying whether she's innocent,

you've already ruined her reputation.

That's no way for a man to behave.

But...

But everyone on the street is talking about it!

So what?

Does that make it true?

But...

But if the child in her belly

were normal,

why would it make sounds at night

like an old man muttering?

What?

If she hadn't seen a physician behind my back,

and he hadn't spread the word,

I'd never have known

she was

carrying a monster.

Who knows

what evil creature she slept with?

Either way, it can't be my child!

That's not true! I didn't do anything like that!

That physician has such a loose tongue.

A physician who reveals a patient's medical condition

deserves punishment.

You should have investigated thoroughly

before drawing conclusions.

Moreover,

you should never have raised a hand to her.

Yes, yes.

Everyone, disperse.

Don't spread rumors.

Move along.

Come home with me now.

Stop embarrassing me in public.

Wait.

If you go home with him,

you'll hardly fare any better.

Besides,

there's something wrong with her belly.

Let's take her back with us first.

Ma'am,

what's your name?

I'm Xia Ying.

You beat your pregnant wife.

You've failed as a husband and as a father.

I'll take your wife back and look after her.

As for the evil presence,

I will get to the bottom of it.

Thank you, Diviner Song.

This way, ma'am.

Wait...

Hold on...

This...

Xiuxiu?

Xiuxiu!

Xiuxiu!

Xiuxiu!

(Why is it gone again?)

(Such a mischievous thing.)

Haven't you seen it either?

(Could it be)

(that it was discovered?)

You scared the hell out of me!

Could you stop

sneaking up on me?

Looking for your little friend again?

Yes.

Mrs. Zhao is settled in.

What's wrong with the child in her belly?

When I ran into her today,

I faintly caught

the same scent on her as on that shamanic bamboo slip.

At first I thought

maybe my nose was playing tricks on me.

But when her husband mentioned something strange about her belly,

I began to suspect something.

So we

wait for her to give birth?

If she can give birth at all...

Master.

Miss Chu Li.

You and your master have the same annoying habit.

I found this at the door just now.

No idea who left it or when.

What is it? So mysterious.

Can't I take a look?

It doesn't concern you.

Fine.

(Silly girl,)

(inside the box is Xiuxiu.)

Is that...

Xiuxiu?

You'd better not look.

Let me see!

Lanruo.

It must be Lanruo's doing!

Chu Li,

calm down.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have been so curious.

Xiuxiu kept me company for so many years.

I'm going to kill that woman!

You can't go.

Let go of me!

- Listen to me. Lanruo is dangerous! - Let me go!

Let me go!

Didn't you ask me

if I had memories of my previous life?

Now I can tell you.

Yes.

I do remember what happened in my previous life.

But in my memory,

there is no Lanruo at all.

Your previous life...

Then who exactly is this Lanruo?

Why were you reincarnated with me?

I'm so confused.

I'm truly so confused.

Chu Li? Chu Li!

Chu Li!

Listen to me.

We still have time.

We still have time to figure this out.

Don't panic.

Something's wrong. Let's go.

Mrs. Zhao, what happened?

It...

It...

Master,

I just heard

a woman screaming.

Everything's fine here. Leave us.

Understood.

(I'm so cold.)

Let's help Mrs. Zhao to the bed first.

All right.

Come on.

Careful.

Mrs. Zhao,

what happened exactly?

Before, its voice

seemed to come from inside my belly,

laughing and murmuring.

But just now, it...

(Save me.)

It suddenly spoke!

(Save me.)

(Save me.)

(Save me!)

(Save me!)

(Save me! Save me!)

(Where are you going?)

Well?

How long

has this been happening?

It started about

two months ago.

At that time,

I was already more than six months pregnant.

Because my husband snored at night

and kept me awake,

we started sleeping separately.

One night,

I suddenly heard

a sound from inside my belly.

I thought I'd misheard because I was so nervous.

But then

it grew more and more frequent.

I didn't dare tell my husband,

so I secretly went to see a physician.

That physician...

It was bad enough he couldn't cure me.

Then he told everyone about it!

The rumor spread

until people said

I had slept with an evil creature.

My husband believed the physician

and wanted to...

That physician should treat patients,

not gossip about them!

Miss Chu Li,

I don't know what evil has taken hold of me,

but the child in my belly is innocent.

It's due in just over a month.

You're a shamaness.

Please think of something.

Save my child.

I'm willing to serve you

like a beast of burden.

Mrs. Zhao, please get up.

Rest assured.

We...

We'll do our best to find a way.

How do you plan to help her?

Trace it to the source.

Both Xizhao's and Zhong Jiang's

tragedies were born

of their own obsessions.

I doubt that evil afflicted Mrs. Zhao

for no reason.

Right.

And Xiuxiu...

I won't let it die for nothing.

I will get to the bottom

of all of this

and avenge Xiuxiu.

Song Ziyuan,

now

you can tell me everything, can't you?

Nice weather we're having, huh?

Wait for me!

Song Ziyuan,

why did you kill me?

In my previous life,

I thought you were setting up some kind of evil formation,

- so I... - You're lying.

You already knew me in our past life.

Otherwise,

why did you call me Li?

Why did you say sorry to me?

Don't think I don't remember.

Because in our past life,

I secretly admired you.

I had feelings for you.

I was afraid you'd sacrifice your life

to turn back time,

so I...

But you were a high official of Chu State,

and I was a shamaness who'd been driven out.

How did you come to know me?

That's none of your concern.

I don't believe you.

You must still be hiding something from me.

Whether to believe it or not

is up to you.

So...

You've been urging the King to move the capital

because you know about the city's destruction, right?

Yes.

But that's for me to deal with.

You only need to leave before then.

You needn't

worry about everything else.

And if in the end,

the King still refuses to move the capital,

will you not leave Jinan City either?

I won't leave.

And if I don't leave either?

You must leave.

Chu Li,

there's no need for you to die here.

Whatever happens in Jinan City

has nothing to do with you.

Song Ziyuan.

Then right now,

do you still care about me?

♪Strangers meet again, past lives gleam in endless hues♪

It's late.

Go back and take a rest.

♪A sharp arrow pierces memory♪

♪Longing spreads like dye♪

Can't wake her?

It's only been one night.

How did she get so bad overnight?

What did you find?

Last night,

someone used shamanic arts on her.

That's why she's been unconscious.

Chu Li?

Diviner Song?

Why are you two here?

Who is she?

Go play.

Don't come over.

All right.

Fusheng.

Did you hear anything last night?

Last night,

I thought I heard someone calling,

so I followed Shiqi over to take a look.

But I saw you two were busy,

so I didn't come in to disturb you.

Did something happen?

No.

Go out and play.

Got it.

Don't you think

Fusheng is acting strange?

You suspect him?
