~ Episode 56 ~

23

- Hurry! Hurry!

- It was also quite a coincidence too. Feng Xuan and Feng Qi aftewards

24

almost got pregnant at the same time and went in labor on the same day. Successively, they gave birth to 2 babies.

25

Legend says that when Feng Xuan delivered her baby, that girl had a lotus flower on her mouth, such an auspicious sign.

26

And at this time, a miraculous manifestation happened in Young Phoenix Lake.

27

Hence, everyone firmly believed that this child bearing a lotus flower when she was born is the one with the phoenix spirituality.

28

And using it as proof, Feng Xuan was conferred as the First Queen Heir.

29

Not long after, Feng Qi got sick and died.

30

And then afterwards, Feng Xuan successfully ascended to the throne.

31

Who then is this person who was born with a lotus flower?

32

It was Folian.

33

But Folian not only wasn't named the immediate heir, she is now being restricted. Why?

34

That is because Feng Xuan changed the inheritance rules after ascending the throne.

35

She changed it such that the eldest daughter gets to inherit the throne.

36

That's illogical and irrational.

37

Indeed. If Folian is indeed the fated heir, why then did Feng Xuan change the rules?

38

Unless, Folian isn't Feng Xuan's real daughter. Or...

39

Or that both of them don't have the phoenix spirituality.

40

Feng Qi also gave birth to a child then.

41

Too bad. This child wasn't fortunate and didn't survive.

42

Is she called Feng Wuming?

43

Could it be that this Feng Wuming is the one with the phoenix spirituality?

44

I also suspected that. But all the people who knew about this matter have all died.

45

Basing on what you two have said, there must be another story on Feng Xuan's ascension to the throne.

46

Too bad, Feng Wuming is also dead.

47

No. She probably isn't dead.

48

In the Plough Nation royal clan genealogical record, I saw that the phoenix representing a live person

49

would flap their wings and fly high, while the phoenix representing a dead person will meet fire and get turned into ashes.

50

But only this Feng Wuming didn't look like she's truly alive or truly dead.

51

Didn't you say last time...

52

...that Feng Wuming's father, Meng Shuo, is still alive?

53

Yes. Based on the genealogical record, he indeed is still alive.

54

Could it be...

55

Ever since, Feng Xuan and Feng Qi have a close sibling relationship.

56

The person who initially caused a break between them

57

was a man named Meng Shuo.

58

Do you two know who this Meng Shuo is?

59

Alioth of the ten saints is him.

60

It's actually him?

61

The ten saints of Five Regions are the best fighters in this world,

62

but only this Alioth is a genius in both literary and martial arts.

63

He is also the most handsome, tallest, and well-built man among them.

64

Indeed. That time, Alioth was very popular.

65

Who among the Plough Nation royal princesses don't have a crush on him?

66

That includes Feng Xuan and Feng Qi?

67

He is a descendant of a nobility of Plough Nation. He frequently visited the palace since he was little.

68

Feng Qi and him has long developed mutual affection.

69

The two are childhood sweethearts, very much in love.

70

Afterwards, Alioth was ordered to represent Plough Nation and joined the ten saints contest.

71

He became one of the ten saints of Five Regions. From then on, he bore the name Alioth of Plough Nation.

72

His mighty name was known throughout Five Regions.

73

But actually, Feng Xuan has loved him ever since.

74

Where is this Alioth now?

75

Since Feng Qi died, he left. No one knows where he went.

76

What's most important now is Feng Xuan is gravely sick. She might not last long.

77

At present, Feng Jingzhi is the one managing the state affairs.

78

And that Folian, Feng Jingfan, I'm sure she won't just sit and wait for death.

79

The Plough Nation is in the edge of eternal doom.

80

Then it means that the Young Phoenix Lake is in trouble?

81

Deep within Young Phoenix Lake is an auspicious phoenix.

82

Legend says that this phoenix is guarding a huge evil power inside the lake.

83

If Plough Nation falls into chaos, if Feng Xuan is unable to guard Young Phoenix Lake,

84

causing that auspicious phoenix to flee, Five Regions then will fall into eternal doom.

85

Since my wife died in an unjust manner, I have been living like a zombie.

86

What status, position, or wealth, all are meaningless to me.

87

Now that Plough Nation is in trouble, I couldn't just watch as it gets destroyed.

88

For things that I am powerless to do, Crown Prince Wuji you must help us.

89

For our Five Regions, for our descendants, please save Plough Nation.

90

Please.

91

Young Lord Tang is a loyal descendant and an outstanding talent.

92

May Crown Prince Wuji be at ease in ordering him and training him.

93

Thank you, Prefect Wu. Also, don't walk us out anymore.

94

If my guess is right, your surname isn't Tang but Feng, isn't it?

95

Your Highness Crown Prince, you indeed are all knowledgeable.

96

After Feng Xuan ascended to the throne, my father's siblings successively suffered misfortunes

97

and died tragically. My father got discouraged and lived in seclusion.

98

Duke National Peace is my mother's clan. Afterwards, I also changed my identity and joined the Phoenix Lead Pavilion.

99

It's my duty to follow the royal clan at their beck and call, but I don't want to become an assassin that massacred the Five Region.

100

Only by stopping Her Majesty early on can we prevent the carnage here in Plough Nation.

101

This is the reason why I wanted Your Highness Crown Prince to intervene in this matter.

102

Then it means that the person who wrote Wuji a letter and hoped that he'll come here is you?

103

I never sent any letter. What's this about?

104

This is not important anymore. What's important is

105

to investigate how many more secrets is Feng Xuan hiding.

106

There is one more person in the palace who knows a lot about Her Majesty's secrets.

107

It's just that this person appears unpredictably and hard to approach.

108

There are two groups who are directly under Feng Xuan's command in Plough Nation Palace.

109

One is the Phoenix Lead Pavilion that I command. The other one is this shadow that has never shown his face.

110

These past years, he has helped Her Majesty do a lot of dirty deeds.

111

This person's martial arts skills is so good. Normal people aren't his competition at all.

112

Could this person you're describing Alioth?

113

Only by finding him can we know the truth.

114

There's one more thing that I need your help with.

115

Crown Prince, please give the instructions.

116

We have to go to Young Phoenix Lake.

117

Don't blame me for being ruthless. Just for everything today, I exerted so much effort.

118

Despite being cautious, you still were able to see it.

119

No one must foil my plan, even my own daughter.

120

They finally have all slowly walked into this trap.

121

Grand Teacher, your wish will soon happen.

122

I earnestly ask Grand Teacher to bless and protect me.

123

Let them go and be unable to return.

124

Grand Teacher.

125

You did well, but don't harm her life.

126

Grand Teacher, it's enough that my wish be granted.

127

This is the deepest level under Young Phoenix Lake.

128

Be careful.

129

This place is so strange.

130

There are no sounds at all. You can't even hear the phoenix call.

131

It is indeed unpredictably too silent.

132

What is that area?

133

That place is the real Young Phoenix Lake.

134

You...look. There.

135

There is a fire phoenix.

136

Where? How come I can't see it?

137

It's over there...

138

Come look from where I'm standing. Look.

139

I also can't see it.

140

What did you say? You also can see it?

141

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com

142

Oh, my, you're back! You scared me to death! I thought something bad happened to you two in Young Phoenix Lake.

143

What can happen to us?

144

Be careful!

145

I'm fine.

146

It's Feng Xuan's shadow. It's him again. I'll go meet him. You two stay here.

147

You stay here. I'll go help him.

148

Be careful!

149

Elder Meng Shuo! Please wait!

150

Hurry.

151

Auntie Wan! Auntie Wan!

152

Let go! Let go of me!

153

- Let go of me!

- Let go of me!

154

Don't hurt her!

155

Let go of her! Auntie Wan!

156

No! Let go of me!

157

Auntie Wan...

158

Don't!

159

Who told you to be disobedient?

160

Don't hurt her!

161

Auntie Wan!

162

Auntie Wan!

163

This...

164

Fuyao!

165

- You killed my sister?

- I...

166

How dare you! You killed my sister...

167

So you pretended to be the Medical Sage and was harboring evil intentions.

168

You murdered the queen heir and was caught red-handed.

169

Little sister,

170

you traveled far to come here to our Plough Nation just to complete this great act.

171

It's really so exciting.

172

It was you...

173

- You framed me.

- Framed?

174

You're the one who killed her and you're even holding the knife.

175

Wasn't you the one who is a killer? You pretended to be the Medical Sage,

176

deliberately got near my Royal Mother, poisoned her,

177

you entrenched yourself in every step and meticulously plotted. And today, you killed my older sister.

178

And she was even so sincere towards you. It was really...

179

...so pitiful and lamentable.

180

Don't waste your energy. Since that day

181

that you accepted my ruyi, you have fallen into this trap.

182

It's hard for you to escape from it anymore.

183

You poisoned me?!

184

Poison?

185

If I poison you, how can that fool Crown Prince Wuji?

186

I just asked my Grand Teacher to slightly

187

help me with some trick.

188

Mere mortal like you can never notice it.

189

I...am going to take back everything that you took from me.

190

Whether it's your identity or status. Correct.

191

Also, Wuji.

192

Because all these were mine to begin with.

193

All were supposed to be mine!

194

Folian... Feng Jingfan...

195

Feng Jingfan?

196

I beg you already!

197

I already saw very clearly what kind of person you are.

198

I already saw that seductive traits you brought with you when you were born.

199

You should have died long ago. I should have killed you then!

200

Why did I allow a source of disaster like you to stay? Why did I allow you to live

201

and let you become the greatest obstacle between Wuji and I?

202

You...took away the person that I love the most.

203

You stole everything that I treasured

204

for these past ten years.

205

You took away everything that I valued the most for these past 10 years.

206

You should have died in that darkness filled cold palace.

207

Why must you harm us?

208

Why must you harm us?!

209

You deserved it. These are all your retribution.

210

Retribution. Let me tell you. That person's name was Xu Wan.

211

Her mistake was...why must she saved you then?

212

Her mistake was that she shouldn't have let a source of disaster like you live.

213

Hence, she deserved to die.

214

Don't hurt her!

215

Who am I? Who am I?

216

Who am I? Who am I?

217

- Who am I?

- Who are you?

218

You are...the killer who killed the queen heir of Plough Nation.

219

You won't make it in time.

220

Your words don't count.

221

That was the bell signifying that a person has been murdered here in Plough Nation.

222

Everything has been finalized. It can't be unchanged. You won't be able to reach her in time.

223

Your words don't count.

224

I can help you save her. Make a deal with me.

225

Who am I?

226

Why must you frame me?

227

You must have worn masks for so long

228

that you've forgotten who you are.

229

Let me tell you now.

230

This person isn't some Medical Sage Zong Yue.

231

Because I've seen the real Mr. Zong when I was in Megrez Imperial City.

232

I also saw...this...

233

...criminal!

234

That time, Father Emperor has ordered for her to be killed.

235

Never thought that she'll escape to our Plough Nation.

236

Is that true?

237

It was her who killed my older sister.

238

I personally saw it. She was even holding a knife that time. It was her who killed her.

239

She said that Crown Prince Wuji

240

mustn't have any marriage alliance with our queen heir.

241

She even said that Crown Prince Wuji...

242

...can only be hers.

243

Why did you do it?!

244

I didn't kill anyone nor harm anyone.

245

Who really is the real killer?

246

Who really is the one who committed a crime?

247

Your Majesty, don't you clearly know?

248

Don't worry. I will give you a grand funeral.

249

I'll announce to the world that you died from excessive exhaustion

250

for working for the nation.

251

But the gossiping mouth of all those government officials,

252

how can I block it?

253

- Royal Mother.

- Who's there?!

254

It's me.

255

Why did you come? Leaving your palace without permission, do you know what punishment you'll receive?!

256

I brought Buddhist scriptures that I've newly copied.

257

I initially plan to help Royal Mother calm your heart and nurse your energy.

258

But from the looks of it,

259

Royal Mother seems to have encountered new trouble.

260

I fear that this book isn't enough.

261

- How dare you!

- Royal Mother...

262

- What do you mean?

- I'm willing to unburden you.

263

No matter what I saw, you clearly know

264

that I'm on your side. It's true.

265

Right now, I have a perfect plan.

266

Rise and say it.

267

I deeply care about you

268

and wanted to ask Medical Sage Zong Rue to concentrate in nursing your health.

269

But when I saw that Medical Sage, I kept feeling that there's something wrong with him.

270

He...is that Fuyao that framed me back in Megrez!

271

She is not some Medical Sage.

272

That person is harboring evil intentions and is entrenching herself at every step.

273

Royal Mother, do you know why she's here in Plough Nation?

274

Why?

275

Because...

276

Just say it.

277

Because she...

278

...is Feng Wuming.

279

Why didn't you say so sooner?!

280

I just learned about it, hence, I immediately came here to report it to you.

281

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com

282

Alike. They indeed looked alike.

283

Royal Mother, don't worry. We only need to eliminate the problem down to the roots.

284

Reason is on our side.

285

Fuyao pretended to be the Medical Sage,

286

harbored evil intentions, and assassinated the queen heir.

287

She should be executed.

288

How dare you, criminal! All the evidences are against you.

289

You still dared to refute it?

290

This woman disguised as the Medical Sage,

291

harbored evil intentions, and assassinated the queen heir. She should be executed.

292

Wait. It's fine with me if you want

293

to accuse me with those crimes, but I can't die confused.

294

Tell me, who really am I, Feng Jinfan?!

295

You...

296

Who are you?

297

Miss Fuyao, you must have been blinded by a moment of selfishness and greed.

298

In the future, I surely will pray Buddhist scriptures so you can be reincarnated,

299

and remove this foul aura around you.

300

Informing Your Majesty, the assassination of the Heiress Apparent

301

is an extremely saddening matter for Plough Nation.

302

But presently, Plough Nation is swaying in the midst of a storm, a country can't last a day without a ruler.

303

We all suggest to let Princess Folian ascend to the position of the Heiress Apparent

304

to placate the hearts of the people.

305

No.

306

It's better to seek vengeance for royal eldest sister first.

307

Let's just talk about it

308

after punishing this murderer. May Royal Mother decide

309

on all the rewards and punishment.

310

Crown Prince Wuji is here!

311

Your Majesty. How come no one came to inform me when such a huge incident has happened in the palace?

312

Informing Your Majesty, it is indeed true that this person who assassinated Heiress Apparent has disguised herself as Medical Sage Zong Yue,

313

but it was still Crown Prince Wuji who brought her here in Plough Nation and introduced her to you.

314

Basing on that, does Your Highness Crown Prince have any motive against our Plough Nation?

315

Generally speaking, our Plough Nation has always treated your empire well.

316

Now is a year of great disaster. Imperial City suffered from a noxious epidemic.

317

We even delivered 30 extra carts gold to your city.

318

We also never decreased the deliveries in the past. Even if we have to diminish our own supply,

319

we tried our best to guarantee the supply to the imperial city.

320

If we're going to talk about loyal service, Plough Nation has always give its best effort.

321

We don't ask you to remember our merits, but you shouldn't be stabbing us in the back, right?

322

If Your Highness Crown Prince has some prejudice against us,

323

why not just directly say it. Why must you still course it through other people?

324

- Your Majesty—

- Your Majesty!

325

Your Majesty, pretending to be Zong Yue

326

- was completely my own doing. It has nothing to do with Crown Prince.

- You...

327

If you want to punish anyone, just punish me.

328

If it was done by one person, then only one person will be punished.

329

- Men!

- Here!

330

Lock this assassin who pretended to be the Medical Sage into the Yu (a kind of monkey) Prison.

331

Guard her strictly!

332

Yes.

333

You...

334

Your Majesty, this matter has so many doubtful points.

335

I earnestly ask to talk with you privately. Please agree to it.

336

I still haven't fully recuperated from my illness. At this moment, I'm already mentally and physically exhausted.

337

Hope Your Highness Crown Prince understand.

338

Let's just talk about your matter next time.

339

Respectfully sending off Your Majesty.

340

Counting the days, I've already taken in the golden sap of blistering beetle for almost a month.

341

It won't do me any bad, right?

342

Your Majesty, don't worry.

343

The poison in the medicinal soup I've concocted is only around 30%.

344

There is also Lord Yu Heng who personally controls the amount.

345

It will never harm your internal organs.

346

Plus the antidote that Medical Sage Zong gave you a few days ago,

347

Your Majesty's body now doesn't have much poison anymore.

348

What Medical Sage Zong?

349

It was just an fake.

350

Yes.

351

Listen well. This poisonous golden sap of blistering beetle

352

was a method used by evil people to harm our Plough Nation.

353

It has nothing to do with Alioth or me.

354

Do you understand?

355

I...will continue to keep my mouth shut

356

and obey the command of Your Majesty. I dare not say any word.

357

It's good that you remember.

358

Get up. You have gained merit.

359

Your rewards for today will be delivered to your manor.

360

Thank you, Your Majesty.

361

This person has no use anymore.

362

Who really am I?

363

I told you to kill him, but I didn't ask you to do it now.

364

An old man dying outside my Astute Time Palace, that's so bad luck!

365

Okay already.

366

I was just casually ranting.

367

I didn't intend to blame you.

368

I've done my mission. I'm going now.

369

Why?

370

Look at me.

371

Look at me. Look at me well.

372

I clearly looked the same as her.

373

How come I can't be the one?

374

Tell me. Why?

375

You are not her. Never will be.

376

Too bad.

377

Her life and death is in my hands.

378

You finally can't help yourself and want to kill me.

379

You served by my side for 19 years.

380

If you dared to do it,

381

I would have died a thousand times.

382

Killing me?

383

It is too easy for you.

384

But too bad...

385

...you can't bear to.

386

You can't bear for me to die

387

and can't bear to continue searching for the whereabouts of your wife and child.

388

If I die,

389

you will never find them.

390

Isn't that so?

391

These past years, you've turned into a ruthless being.

392

Just to gain power, you killed so many innocent people.

393

What's funny is I actually was that most vicious blade in your hand.

394

I fear that these dirty blood on me can never be cleaned anymore.

395

What does being not a human nor a ghost mean? What does having a heart that's like an ash mean?

396

Look! Look!

397

You really think that I would believe you?

398

It was you who forced me to make a life pact.

399

It was you who forced me to kill people for power.

400

It was you who forced me to become what I am now.

401

And you even said that you'll help me find them.

402

I think that you'd rather take the secret to your grave

403

than tell it to me, am I right?

404

Even if it's like that, you brought it to yourself!

405

Who told you to choose Feng Qi then and not me?!

406

In terms of appearance,

407

I looked completely the same as her.

408

In terms of talent and learning,

409

I never lost to her.

410

In terms of strategies fit for a ruler, I'm better than her by a mile!

411

For so many years, your feelings for her has never changed!

412

Why?!

413

Why must I let you live a happy life?

414

I wanted to die long ago.

415

Since living will be this painful, then let's just die together!

416

Your daughter isn't dead.

417

Where is she?

418

Where is she?!

419

Don't rush.

420

After I executed that murderer who killed a queen heir,

421

everything in the past, the whereabouts of your daughter,

422

I will tell them all to you.

423

Okay. I'll wait.

424

Girl!

425

Sorry.

426

I had you suffer. I'll take you out of here now.

427

Wait a minute.

428

I can't leave. I don't want to leave.

429

I've investigated this whole matter already.

430

I will never spare those that harmed you.

431

The reason I don't want to leave is...

432

Do you remember that I once told you that I'm investigating a phoenix totem?

433

I seemed to have seen that totem when I was little,

434

but I can't remember where. This time, although Folian framed me,

435

it made me remember some incidents in the past,

436

but all are still very fuzzy.

437

Hence, I want to continue staying here and see if I can find out about my past.

438

Maybe, I will be able to remember who I am.

439

I'll help you.

440

I also found out a few things on my side.

441

I can vaguely see the truth behind the royal palace of Plough Nation.

442

Maybe your true identity is deeply connected

443

with the secret of this royal palace. We must start here.

444

But if we want to find the truth out, we still must ask one person for help.

445

Who are you talking about?

446

Alioth.

447

He has already been in this palace for a long time.

448

As Feng Xuan's shadow, everything that happened here in the palace,

449

he knows it more than anyone else.

450

Why will he help us?

451

I made an agreement with him.

452

As long as I can help him find the whereabouts of his daughter, he will secretly provide us help here in the palace

453

and try his best to tie down Feng Xuan.

"Hard-to-Get Love" by Lala Hsu

456

♫ What do you know? ♫

457

♫ What are good about the three realms? ♫

458

♫ If there're no three poisons, if there're no worries ♫

459

♫ How can it make me reluctant to leave? ♫

460

♫ Worry for love, beg for hate ♫

461

♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫

462

♫ The one, who asks me to love him, loves me ♫

463

♫ I only want him to love me ♫

464

♫ What do you use to exchange for this hard-to-get love? ♫

465

♫ If there's no sickness or weakness, if there's never oldness ♫

466

♫ How can it make a spark to chase after stars alone? ♫

467

♫ Slim down for him, stay for my heart ♫

468

♫ And even chase away all luck for dreams ♫

469

♫ It wants me to be so pretty that I seize his soul ♫

470

♫ And continue dazzling in his heart ♫

471

♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫

472

♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫

473

♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫

474

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫

475

♫ There is a saying that if a person asks for the next lifetime ♫

476

♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫

477

♫ Dreams beg heart ♫

478

♫ to grant me love and have someone's company for the rest of my life ♫

479

♫ Have someone's company♫
