[Ever Night 2]

[Episode 16]

Respectfully sending off Your Majesty!

May you win every battle!

Empress Mother, why is Emperor Father bringing us out of the palace?

Since you were young, you grew up within the palace.

Your emperor father wants to let you experience the world.

Then... Empress Mother, you also want to experience the world?

I want to look after you,

look after your emperor father.

I want you two to go safely

and return safely.

First Elder.

The emperor of Tang is heading for battle.

But he did not pass through the Wilderness and headed straight for Wei City instead.

What is his motive?

Could it be... the Tang emperor intends to harbor us?

The enemies of Tang are not the Barbarians,

but Xiling, who is also our true enemy.

Send out my order, do not actively provoke the Tang army.

Hide their sharpness so as to prepare for future battles.

I obey!

We're at Wei City now.

I, Ma Shixiang from Wei City, welcome Your Majesty!

Get up.

General Ma, it's been a long time.

How come you've grown so many wrinkles?

Windy! Windy!

The number of troops our empire dispatched into the Wilderness

has reached a hundred thousand.

Led by General Xian Zhilang,

the Northeast Border Army have arrived in the main battlefield within three days,

And they have met with Xiling's people.

All right.

This time, I wonder how many youths will be unable to return home.

Your Majesty, you...

It's a cough. It's all the State Preceptor's fault. He himself has a cough,

yet he would still stay close to me to speak.

There's nothing else. The few of you can leave first.

Yes!

General Ma!

Please sit.

I was thinking, is there a situation

that you need to explain properly to me?

I do not know what Your Majesty is referring to.

- Have you met Ning Que? - No, no.

I only know that he would pass by Wei City.

That little brat, I've never even seen a hair of him.

It is definitely true.

But I heard that Ma Shixiang from Wei City

conversed cheerfully with someone over wine inside the house through the night of the third day of the tenth lunar month.

Early the next morning, there was a huge carriage drawn by a large black horse

that secretly left Wei City.

He even got all the guests from Xiling completely drunk

and played tricks on them.

Your Majesty, please pardon me!

I have met that brat in private.

I was spouting nonsense just now!

Your Majesty, please pardon me!

Then just tell me the truth.

Why are you still so mischievous?

Naughty!

Seriously...

Even if you dare not tell me, I know.

Get up, get up. I don't blame you.

Anyway, your thoughts towards him

are the same as mine.

That... How is that brat doing?

He has pined away.

But that brat, he still could make jokes with me like before.

He still could tell me what happened to him on the way.

He still could drink a few bottles of wine with me.

Your Majesty, I want to help him.

After all, I treat him as my own son.

He is my Thirteenth Brother!

Your Majesty! I do not have that intention! I do not have that intention!

Old Ma, you and I are the same.

I also want to help him.

But I am also like you, unable to help him.

Your Majesty, may I brazenly ask...

When will his matter end?

We need to wait for someone to step out.

Who?

Fu Zi.

Fu Zi?

Right now, in the entire human realm,

only Fu Zi is higher than the sky.

No wonder he would take Heaven as his teacher.

It's Fu Zi!

Oh, Fu Zi... Fu Zi...

Fu Zi, quickly stand up for him.

Save Ning Que.

Fu Zi has his own pace for doing things.

How can mere mortals like us wildly guess at his thoughts?

Emperor Father personally led the expedition and Royal Sister is governing the state.

I am the next emperor of Tang State.

All of you are good-for-nothing.

If you want to have delicious food and strong wine with me,

you should know how to make me happy. Oh wrong!

You should make "zhen" happy. [T/N: "zhen" - how emperors address themselves ]

Hey! I'm talking about you!

Li Hunyuan!

You are messing around again!

You can leave now.

You stay here.

- Get over here! - Royal Older Sister!

Sit down!

After Royal Father left for the expedition, what did I say to you?

Be content with my lot and act my part. Keep aloof from any business.

Be a rich idler peacefully.

Then, what did you do?

And what did you say just now?

There are no outsiders here.

Moreover, I taught the servants how to serve their masters.

What's wrong with that?

Moreover, why should I be prudent and modest?

After all, I am a prince.

Very good. You still know that you are a prince.

Then, do you know

how many eyes are watching you in this palace?

Your every action and speech,

even just a small mistake, people will remember it.

When Emperor Father comes back from his expedition,

they will harshly report you.

Even I can't help you at that point.

Fine. I will listen to you, Royal Older Sister.

Li Hunyuan!

As long as you listen to me,

the Tang Empire will be yours sooner or later.

Sooner or later.

Sooner or later.

If Emperor Father dies in battle, then I am the new emperor of Tang!

You rascal! How can you say such a treacherous thing?

I... admit my mistake.

I admit my mistake.

I will not do it again.

I will not do it again.

Remember this, Li Hunyuan.

You are a prince of the Tang Empire, the future emperor.

Other than Emperor Father, you cannot kneel to anyone.

Quickly get up.

Does it hurt?

It hurts.

Never speak in a tactless manner from now on.

I know, Royal Older Sister.

I am not the only one saying such treacherous things.

Who else is saying it?

Just Royal Uncle.

You met with him? Who allowed you to meet with him?

I did not! I did not go to see him. He came to me.

What did he say to you?

He said if anything happens, he would stand by our side.

I think Royal Uncle is loyal to us, Royal Older Sister.

You... A person who once attempted treason to usurp the throne,

how could he be loyal?

Yu'er...

How can you be suspicious of me?

I am not suspicious. I just hope Royal Uncle can be careful with your speech and actions.

Based on what you said, I cannot see my nephew

until His Majesty returns from his expedition?

You should have thought of that, Royal Uncle.

Why are you cautious of me, Yu'er?

You know it. I have always supported you and your brother.

Thank you for what you have done for us, Royal Uncle.

But I hope Hunyuan can

win what he deserves openly and aboveboard.

Royal Uncle, please have a rest. I am leaving.

His Majesty has always believed in my chessboard predictions.

But why didn't he believe me this time?

It's my fault. I couldn't dissuade His Majesty from leading the soldiers on a military expedition personally.

It's hard to predict the emperor's mind. You don't have to blame yourself.

Teacher, it's time to take your medicine.

His Majesty brought the empress and Sixth Royal Son with him on his expedition,

leaving the princess in the capital to watch over Tang.

Officials believe that His Majesty is making a statement

that the throne will be passed to the Third Royal Son.

Is there anyone who knows His Majesty more than me?

He is an openhearted man.

If he decides to pass the throne to someone,

he will not use this kind of method.

Because it's so petty.

What are you worrying about, Teacher?

I'm worrying that they might be rejoicing too soon.

You mean that...

His Majesty will pass the throne to the Sixth Royal Son?

I hope it is not him.

Are you not always in support of the Empress, Teacher?

I support the empress because I am following what His Majesty wants.

That does not mean I support Sixth Royal Son getting the throne.

Because of the empress's identity...

Empress? What is the empress's identity?

Teacher, the succession to the throne is a serious matter.

We can't be haste to any suspicious persons

in haste.

May Teacher tell me the truth.

Empress is the saintess of the Demon Sect.

His Majesty and the Tang Academy know about this.

but they hid this from others.

I understand the deep affection and feelings of His Majesty toward Empress.

However, this concerns the empire.

If the son of the saintess of the Demon Sect inherits the throne,

it would ruin the destiny of Tang State.

I understand.

Teacher‘s attitude is South Faction's attitude.

That I could have a disciple like you in my old age,

I'm at ease.

Teacher, you look well today.

How about I play a game of chess with you?

Okay.

What? Empress is the saintess of the Demon Sect?

State Preceptor and the Academy both know about it.

But the Tang Academy's attitude is unclear.

The South Faction have worshipped Heavenly God for generations.

It won't let the son of the saintess of the Demon Sect be the next emperor of Tang State.

Of course, Little Sixer is not fit to be one.

But why did State Preceptor not expose that evil woman's identity?

His Majesty will not agree to it.

He disagrees, but I'll expose her.

Your Highness, you should pretend that you know nothing about this. Never say it to anyone.

Why?

No matter how powerful the weapon is,

it can only showcase its full power when used at the right time.

You're making sense.

When is the right time?

You'll know it when it comes.

On the 20th year of Tianqi, the Barbarians were crusaded against by Xiling and all states

because of shielding the Daughter of Hades.

Barbarians suffered huge losses.

Here.

That's enough.

Young Master, do you think it's about time?

It will be dinnertime soon.

I initially thought that when springtime came, the weather would be warmer.

I will the get better.

I didn't expect that...

It's not a big deal.

You were much colder before in Chaoyang City.

That was winter.

Young Master.

What's the point of us hiding here?

I will die anyway.

Humans will die one day.

Barbarians are the same as us.

Even if they don't let us stay here, others won't let them live.

If we didn't come here, maybe,

they wouldn't die so soon.

Don't worry.

Even if the Barbarians can't hold them off, we can keep going north.

We can visit Warm Sea.

Maybe we could catch some variatus platy.

It should be delicious.

You know I don't mean that.

We escaped from Lan Ke to Suspended Temple,

from Wilderness to Chaoyang City,

and then back to Wilderness again.

Finally, we are here.

I'm really tired of escaping.

I have told you since you were little that as long as we can survive,

even if it's living as rats chased by everyone,

or as poisonous snakes whom everyone is afraid of,

we should still do it.

I know I don't have much time left.

Since that is so, why should we be rats

or poisonous snakes that would be chased by others?

Maybe we are destined to live in this hard way.

What is destiny?

Chanced fate.

Chanced fate.

Teacher said I was his chanced fate.

What then is my chanced fate.

Of course, it's me.

Don't joke.

I think we should go to the south now.

We will die if we go to the south.

We will die even if we don't go there.

You are right.

People always say that we should live lively and die lonely.

If we are doomed to die,

we indeed should have a grand and lively ceremony.

Moreover, maybe going straight into a dead road

would earn us a survival chance.

Young Master said it right.

Our brothers are fighting against the enemy on the front line, but how come those Tang people

are able to stay here to eat and drink contentedly? Why?

I've long seen her as an eyesore. What "Daughter of Hades"?

- I'm going to chop her with my blade. - Stop!

Don't act on impulse. The Daughter of Hades is the messenger of Hades.

We can't do anything to her now.

As for Ning Que, with somebody watching his back,

he looks down on other people.

We can't spare him easily.

What should we do? I will follow your order.

That's what we'll do.

Okay.

Before, I found myself too dark.

After getting sick, I've become whiter than before.

It is uncertain whether I am black or white. So troublesome.

You will be black if you want to be black, you will be white if you want to be white.

You are good-looking no matter what.

Am I good-looking?

I lied. Not good-looking. You are beautiful.

Here.

Why are you smiling so happily?

I just remembered back when you brought gifts to my parents.

I just wanted to make a good impression on your parents.

My mother said you were generous and not particular about trifles. You are a good man.

If we could go back to the Tang State,

we should buy my parents some delicious food.

Young Master, have you packed all our things?

Yes.

- Let's go now? - Go.

Okay. Let's go now.

Black Thingy, go!

- Where are they? - We are late. They have escaped.

- You're late. - First Elder.

I know what you want to do.

Continuous failures made hatred grow in your hearts.

Hatred has blinded your eyes,

such that you want to hurt our honorable guests.

They arrived here after a long hard journey,

but they left without any words. They must be desperate deep in their hearts.

They are forced to escape and forced to leave.

Calmly facing death is the choice they made in their own accord.

Because only death that is truly eternal

is above Light and Darkness.

Enemies of the whole world, do your destinies end here?

I've never seen such a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth.

I don't know how many strong men have battled here.

I have seen it.

Where?

When your teacher, Yan Se, battled my teacher, Wei Guangming,

at the North Mountain in the capital.

The spiritual energy then also fluctuated terribly.

Just that they covered it.

You have seen a battle between two immortals, right?

It's windy outside. Do you want to go back in?

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill! [Crown prince of Yan State, Chong Ming]

Charge!

Ning Que, you still came.
