♫ Pushing open the windows and looking out, the scenery is breathtaking ♫

♫ The beauty of the spring flower is unforgettable ♫

♫ Getting drunk alone, I temporarily forget your scent ♫

♫ Beside the broken bridge, loneliness hid under the rocks ♫

♫ The liveliness belongs to the passerbys ♫

♫ Drowning my sorrows with wine, the prosperity can't hide the sorrow ♫

♫ I'm left with the deep feelings alone, missing you with nothing to rely on ♫

♫ I don't wish to admit that this was just a dream ♫

♫ I don't want to see the separation, everything for naught ♫

♫ Past midnight, I allow the sound of the flute to ponder upon the past ♫

♫ I'm drunk tonight, hugging the shadow to sleep ♫

[Episode 25]

- Yao Yao. - Don't.

Yao Yao.

Ding Qi. Ding Qi!

Yao Yao, are you okay?

Ding Qi. Where is Ding Qi?

Yao Yao.

Slowly, your injuries haven't healed up yet.

What's most important is your injuries right now.

I'm asking you. Where is Ding Qi? What did you do to him?

Where is Ding Qi? Tell me.

- I'm going to find him. - Ding Qi is already dead.

There was a fire... His body has already burned in the fire.

Dead?

Sorry.

Why are you apologizing to me?

I know... I know you think that I betrayed him.

No, is there still a point in saying all of this?

Yao Yao, listen to me.

I'm tired. Leave.

All right, then drink the medicine first; I'll feed it you.

I'm tired. Leave.

Fine. I will visit you another day.

Come here.

Master Bai, Master Bai...

Master Bai.

Do you know what you did wrong?

Let me tell you. If...

you had not framed Xia Chunyu,

Ye Jinxuan would not have taken the blame.

Ye Jinxuan would not have taken the blame,

Ding Qi would not have come to Black Wind Fortress,

If Ding Qi hadn't come to Black Wind Fortress,

my Zhenzhu wouldn't have died.

You killed my Zhenzhu.

Why did you kill my Zhenzhu?

Why? Why?

Why did you cause my Zhenzhu to die?

What are you doing? There must be a misunderstanding.

Why did you cause my Zhenzhu to die? Why?

Let go!

Do you know what he did?

He was the accomplice of Ding Qi to kill Xia Chunyu.

Impossible. There must be some misunderstanding.

I gave you the musk long ago but he kept delaying the handing over of the goods.

Don't bother with all these.

Most important thing now is to settle the handover of the goods with Song Qi.

This is not important, we'll wait another few days.

I thought it was strange, but I understood it later.

He was waiting for Xia Chunyu's shipment of agalwood.

So, you have never suspected Xia Chunyu.

Just think about it. Xia Chunyu and Ding Qi.

How could their meeting at Yun Cai Court be a coincidence?

He let blabbermouths like Sangsang and Shengsheng see them.

It was all a part of his plans.

No.

Eldest Brother, it's just a coincidence.

Do you still remember I told you to arrange a meeting with Sanjiang Clan's Xue Jing?

Have you arranged a meeting with Sanjiang Clan's Xue Jing?

Yes, I did.

But we've never had a relationship with the Sanjiang Clan.

The Sanjiang Clan is also doing exports, your enemy's enemy is your friend.

You lied to me about that, too.

I did not, I just heard it.

Xue Jing said there's a heavy fog on the rivers and there wouldn't be any shipments these last few days.

And this was the time, you told me, that Ding Qi wanted to export goods.

This...

Of course, it was Peng Wu who told you that.

It wasn't me.

He wanted to use your mouth to send that message to me,

in order to plan Xia Chunyu and Ding Qi's trade. Of course, Ding Qi would not have appeared.

He just wanted me to bring some men and catch Third Brother with the evidence.

Is this true? Why did you do this?

You are loyal to me. Even though

you hate Xia Chunyu, so you wouldn't have done something that was going to harm our business.

But a frank and honest person like yourself,

is seen as a fool in his eyes.

It's not like this, it's all for you.

You're still trying to bribe his heart?

Actually, he is right.

What did you say?

Big Brother, you saw through this plan already.

Why did you not say it? You said that I was a fool in his eyes,

then am I not also a fool being played around in your eyes?

Peng Wu may be wrong, but he's doing it all for me.

Eldest Brother, I'm begging you.

I'm begging you to spare him just this one time.

Framing and harming ourselves.

Just because of that, he could've already died a thousand times!

What is more important, is that he caused the death of Zhenzhu.

Is he the only one who caused the death of Young Master?

- Don't tell me Xia Chunyu wasn't responsible, either? - How dare you!

Are you then saying that I caused the death of my Zhenzhu?

Eldest Brother, I wouldn't dare.

I'm begging you now to spare his life.

Impossible.

For so many years I've followed you diving into death and popping out in life, that I still haven't married yet,

and I really regard him as my son.

He's just five years younger than you and calls you his godfather.

Have you ever thought about the reason for this? Just because of this reason I can't let him live!

Big Brother... I'm willing! I'm willing, Big Brother.

Just like you are with that Xia Chunyu,

I just believe in him. I just believe him!

Don't worry. I won't let you die.

Big Brother, you and I bonded decades ago.

Do you still remember how I killed my first man for you?

Big Brother... Big Brother, could you not just give in on behalf of my name?

Give in on behalf of your name? If I hadn't given in on your behalf because it was you,

I wouldn't have let this brat enter Black Wind Fortress. You would be dying with him as well!

All right. Seeing how you have that Xia Chunyu as your Third-Leader,

you won't even care about me as a Second-Leader.

Then go ahead! You kill me as well.

Go on. Go on!

Don't force me.

- Master, please let him go. - Master, please let him go.

Thank you, Big Brother.

Sheng Wu!

You remember, the life of Peng Wu,

is in exchange for our relationship we built up over decades.

He can skip this punishment of death, but he cannot skip the punishment of being alive.

Men! Drag Peng Yu down and hit him 300 times.

Wait! I'll see who dares!

Big Brother, are you crazy? Ordinary people suffering 100 strokes will die!

- Men! - Wait!

I'll do it.

Will that be enough?

All right! All right!

Godfather!

Godfather!

I broke one of his legs! Are you satisfied now?

You'll eventually die by his hand.

Wu! Son, it's all right. It's all right.

It's all right.

Brothers, I may have nothing now,

but trust me...

this revenge, regardless of the cost,

I will get it against Black Wind.

You'll really give up everything?

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @Viki

What are you doing?

I don't know, I just want to leave here.

With Ding Qi's death, my heart is not at peace.

- But-- - Rest assured, I'm not misunderstanding you.

I know now why you needed to force me out of here back then.

Because as long as I'm here, I'll be a bother to you in your matters.

Bai Chongye is so intelligent. He already knew that you didn't steal the cargo.

If it wasn't for me being nosy, he wouldn't have done anything to you,

and Ding Qi wouldn't have died so plainly.

Yao Yao, can you not think that way?

Then, what way do you want me to think?

I originally thought that I was a thousand years more intelligent than you guys.

I'm still smarter than all of you.

But in the end, in addition to disrupting your matters,

the fortune-teller said that this year was a fortune-changing year for me. When I met you,

I really thought it was true. But it wasn't.

Maybe my trip is a fake time travel one.

Others time travel and get fame and riches;

doted on by strong-minded and powerful men.

But me? Mine is just so lousy.

Even though I don't understand what you are saying,

you are not bad at all, in my heart you're the best.

You don't understand, I'm not good at all.

I pretend to be living exceptionally well every day.

- So that all of you will not look down on me. - How can I not understand?

Since a young age, you've suffered a lot, but you've never said it aloud.

You live so happily every day.

By doing that, don't you know how much courage you've given me?

It's finished. All finished, Chunyu.

We've already ended; just let me go.

Yao Yao, I really wish you won't go away.

You can beat me, shout at me all the same.

I just don't want to see you like this right now.

It's indeed because of Ding Qi,

but it's not all because of Ding Qi.

Chunyu... we are finished.

I don't believe it.

This is like how you dropped your keys in the lake.

- You just have to pick it back up-- - You just don't understand!

It's you who doesn't understand!

How can I let a person who can sacrifice their life for me, leave me?

I'm not going to let you go, Yao Yao.

I promise you, I'll protect you my entire life!

I want to go home.

I just really want to go home.

Yao Yao.

- Let me go! - Don't cry.

- Let me go! - Yao Yao.

- Let me go! - Listen to me, Yao Yao. I won't let you go!

Give this to me! Let it go!

Lock the door!

Xia Chunyu, it's useless for you to lock me up!

Nainai, just eat a bit. Nainai!

Third Master.

Third Master.

Is your Nainai still not willing to take medicine? - Yes.

Maybe I'll think of another way to persuade her.

You don't need to.

You all listen to me clearly. From this day on,

if she continues not to eat, you all beat Song Qi thirty times.

If she still doesn't drink the medicine, then beat Song Qi fifty big strokes.

Are you all deaf?

Yes, Third Master.

Big Brother.

Big Brother, I haven't seen you get sick for such a long time; drink a bit less.

If you have matters, speak it.

Sanjiang Clan's Xue Jing worked with us to deal with Ding Qi.

Now that Ding Qi's dead, he's turning his attention to us and creating trouble on our soil.

But don't worry. I've thought of a plan. We can--

Just do what you want. Tell Third Brother to come here.

Why do you want to call him? He did this to you.

All right.

Big Brother, Third Brother is here.

Elder Brother.

Sheng Wu, you can leave first.

- Big Brother! - Go back.

Do you want to take a sip?

Drinking wine damages the body.

- Drinking less is better. - Are you still angry with me?

Third Brother doesn't dare.

Did you hear about the incident with Xue Jing?

These sort of things, don't you normally discuss them with Second Brother?

He doesn't do things as well as you.

Really?

I think what he does is proper and to the point.

We killed all the people in Xinyi Court.

Killing whoever was there, not even one is left.

That wasn't my plan.

You knew that Peng Wu had some special connection with Xinyi Court, why did you send him there.

I see that you just want to use his hands to kill people.

Is that how you think of me?

Don't you want to kill Xue Jing? Fine.

Just use your last plan to totally surround them, then kill them all.

But remember this. One Ding Qi is dead.

Then comes a Xue Jing. After Xue Jing is dead,

- will there come a Zhang Jin, a Liu Jin-- - Xia Chunyu!

Stop drinking!

If you don't have anything else, I'll take my leave.

Stop knocking! I'll eat!

I drank the medicine and ate the food, you can go and report back to them.

Why are you crying? The person being locked up is not you.

Seeing that you are unhappy, I'm more unhappy than you.

If I can give you one million then that's great.

I never thought that,

even one million liang wouldn't make me happy.

Then, how can you go back to the way you were before?

Look at this Black Wind Divine Water.

When you leave it for a long time, the bubbles disappear.

Then it doesn't taste as nice. Ingredients will go off, so will human relationships.

Then I'll make a new one.

Do whatever you want, I'll go sleep for a while.

Third Master.

- Was she willing to drink medicine? - Yes.

Third Master, Grandmother just went to sleep.

She hasn't slept peacefully in ages, why not let her sleep a bit.

What's wrong with your feet?

I'm fine.

What happened?

I know that grandmother cares about us, so I

truly beat myself up a few times, but I'm still all right.

Song Qi...

Third Brother, Nainai can bear to leave us,

but how can she stand not talking to you? You've left her all alone for a few days.

I... am not afraid that she is angry, I'm just afraid that she is disappointed.

Not only disappointed in me, but I'm also afraid that she is disappointed in herself.

So that's why I made such a bad decision, hardworking Song Qi.

[The Grave of Bai Zhenzhu]

Forever alone.

It came true.

Bad for parents, bad for siblings, bad for wives.

Bad for sons.

This was all because of your doings.

Zhenzhu wouldn't have died.

Actually, my brother didn't have to die.

I had a crucial disease after Chun Yue died.

When I was finally healed,

I only remember it was because of a pearl.

He was beaten to death by a few rich nobles.

But after so many years... so many years,

I just remembered that it was me who got him killed.

If it was not because of my greed for that pearl,

he wouldn't have died.

The stories about building a peach garden and vowing to become friends for life are all lies.

Doing all that righteous stuff for people. It's all a lie!

It's a lie that I told to myself!

I'm a bastard whose hands are full of fresh blood.

And a coward who doesn't even want to face his own memories.

In this world,

not all memories deserve to be remembered, but

you don't deserve to be sympathized with.

You don't deserve to be sympathized with.

Why is this?

Why does this all have to be repaid by my Zhenzhu?

Why was it my Zhenzhu?

Zhenzhu, Father cannot face you.

Actually, one's destiny cannot be changed.

You should do your best

to make up for the sins you've committed.

What use is it to say all this now?

My Zhenzhu!

What do you plan to do next?

Continue to stay at Black Wind Fortress? It's already at this state.

What Bai Chongye knows, he should've told all of it to you. If he hasn't told you,

then just force him a bit.

Because of Ding Qi's matters, Ye Jinxuan is already in pain

and aren't you, too? This cannot keep going on.

I shouldn't have locked her up.

But I'm really afraid that I'll lose her.

Don't worry too much.

She's alone in the mountains; of course, she's going to be bored.

How about this? I'll take some snacks from here in Yongcui Pavilion and visit her.

Maybe she'll like that.

Why are you looking at me like this?

Thank you.

I don't like you saying these two words.

This is the special key.

I am here to see you. Do you feel better?

I don't want to talk to you; please leave.

I brought you some delicacies from Yongcui Pavilion.

They are prepared by the cooks at your place.

It's very interesting that Xia Chunyu asked you to persuade me.

Doesn't he know that when love rivals meet, they won't get along?

If you don't have feelings for him,

then do you have to treat me as your rival in love?

I don't know how to answer that back.

Before your personality was not like this.

You are truly hurt this time. I come here to help you this time.

No one can help me.

I never treated you as an enemy. I am not in his heart.

What's the point of treating you as an enemy?

I just want to ask one question. Do you really want to leave?

Eldest Brother, this is a gift for Master Gao.

Master Gao?

Normally, he is the one who always receives gifts from me. Why is he giving me a gift?

[For Bai Chongye]

You can leave now.

Eldest Brother.

Third Brother.

Master Gao sent me a letter. It looks like a blank white paper, but when it is put near the fire...

"I intend to take up arms and enter the palace."

"All of you should be ready and wait for my command."

Xie...

This Xie is the 'Xie' in the official name of the current Crown Prince, right?

Remember, this letter.

Just pretend I didn't receive it and you didn't read it either.

So, the Crown Prince in the East Palace was the protector of Black Wind Fortress.

As an average citizen, how can I know people from that privileged class?

So you're saying that letter is a lie.

The current Crown Prince has no talents.

He doesn't have any power. To secure his position, he has to be close to the Court Officials.

The government can not make ends meet due to a large number of expenditures. Master Nian is his person.

What I did is merely find a protector for Black Wind Fortress.

I did this for the mutual benefits.

So, according to Master Nian, the one sending money to Black Wind Fortress is Gao Da.

And it's all limited to this.

This is the first time I've seen the seal of the Crown Prince.

This links to the lives of our people in Black Wind Fortress. Don't lie to me.

Third Brother, the only thing I want is money.

Why do I have to do something that can get us killed?

Third Brother, you go to the storage and get all of our resources, then we will set off to the south in three days.

Find another place for us to settle down.

I am begging for your forgiveness!

Forgive you?

I lied to you. The letter from the Crown Prince was made by me.

Why?

Eldest Brother, you are good at making plans and never sharing them with others.

Among the citizens, it is said that there is a secret relationship between the East Palace and Black Wind Fortress.

It is so hard for me to stay alive and I don't want to get involved in politics.

All I could do was come up with such an improper plan to test you.

Now I understand.

You were the Young Sir of the Emperor's family so it makes sense that you have seen the seal of the Crown Prince.

I just didn't want you to hide something from me.

Get up.

As sworn brothers, we should tell each other everything

and treat each other with honesty. From now on,

there will be no secrets between you and me.

Agreed.

You still don't believe me. Everything has a reason.

I am cautious.

In the end, the person I trust the most doesn't believe in me.

Eldest Brother--

I am kind of tired. You can go back.

Yiyi?

Where is Yao Yao?

I let her go.

You can't find her. As for Yongcui Pavilion and Cupid,

she asked me to sell them to others.

Why did you do this?

Do you want to shut her away from the outside world for her whole life?

About Ding Qi,

is a thorn that grows to prick both of your hearts.

The closer you become, the more you two will hurt each other.

That is right.

Love... can not be forced.

Now only time can heal your wounds.

You have to believe that if you are meant to be together,

you will meet again.

[Ding Qi's Grave]

Hey! I know you still have feelings for me.

If you call me "Dear Husband" three times, I will help you get revenge.

Call me "Gugu" three times first.

You really beat me.

I can still fight for you if you call me "Dear Brother" three times.

All right... Dear Brother, Dear Brother, Dear Brother.

Ding Qi, this is the three "Dear Brother's," I owed you.

Did you hear me?

You have been so nice to me. But secretly,

I didn't have the chance to tell you

I came to your world by crossing the universe of time.

I am not Ye Jinxuan. If I were Ye Jinxuan,

I would be with you forever.

I am so sorry.

Ding Qi...

I'm sorry.

Ding Qi, you are still alive!
