♫ Used to the depth of the darkness ♫

[The Wolf]

[Episode 44]

The girl wasn't that brave.

It wasn't because she was born brave

that she endured the pain.

It was because she was too timid.

She cried a lot.

She cried when her mother passed away.

When her friends were gone,

she cried.

But then she realized

crying, weakness, and running away

would never bring back anything she had lost.

Since she couldn't change her fate,

she changed herself.

Her only choice was to move on.

She had to move faster than everyone else.

That was the only way to hide the fact

she was more afraid than anyone else.

Liu'er, remember, no one was born brave.

You will slowly grow stronger

from the fear you experience.

Someday,

I believe you will be even braver than her.

Sister Zhaixing, do you know that girl, too?

Give it back!

You're a bad guy!

I don't know her.

I only overheard Prince of Bo telling you her story.

It reminded me of some of my past experiences.

They were very much like hers.

Let's go.

This way, please.

I, Chu Youwen, greet the King of Jin.

Even after several battles,

we still couldn't defeat your troops.

Now that we've met,

I can see you truly are a formidable warrior.

I must thank you, Prince of Bo.

You put the people's lives as priority

and were willing to be my ally.

You and the Qiannu Camp prisoners have just arrived recently.

How are you fitting in?

Very well.

I thank you for the shelter you provide.

I must thank you on everyone's behalf.

You are willing to aid me in ending the battle.

I must thank you on behalf of all the people.

I am flattered.

I have a request to make.

Do tell.

If a battle breaks out between the two nations,

it must be a battle to end all battles.

I believe that if the throne is succeeded by my fourth younger brother...

with Fourth Prince as ruler,

there will be peace between the two nations.

Our alliance must have brought struggles

to you in many ways.

Truth be told, you are right.

I understand how you must be feeling right now.

I also know your concern for your fourth brother

and you don't want the people

to suffer the destruction of war.

If I offended you, I apologize.

I am actually quite happy.

It seems like the people have wronged you.

With Prince of Bo gone,

I can finally see your true nature.

Before the alliance was formed, people doubted you.

But now I am even more certain

that you are the ally I need.

Your bond with your fourth brother is no surprise.

But for the people, I'll promise you.

Once Chu Kui's tyranny is over,

the agenda of this battle

will be to ensure peace between the two nations.

You care for all people.

I am impressed.

It's very easy.

Do you know why I always talk

and have meals with my sons?

I want to remind myself

that the common folks are very much like us.

They only need a place to call home.

But if you've made up your mind,

you shall be the general of the front line,

and join hands with Prince of Chuan for the greater good.

One more thing.

I can be considered an elder to you.

Now that you're in Jin,

please do keep me company if you have the time.

We can take a walk together.

Sure.

The Jin Army sent us some wine.

Leader took us with him and hunted on the mountain.

We're eating the bounties.

- This is delicious! - Enjoy the food!

That... Let us

- drink to our leader's health! - Sure!

Cheers! Cheers for our leader!

It's been a while since we had meat.

Eat heartily. Come!

Cheers! Let's drink!

The wine from Jin is too strong for me.

Indeed. The wine from our homeland is much smoother, right?

Yes!

If we could have the roasted chicken my wife made,

it would be great!

In your dreams!

Wake up!

Our homeland... I don't know if we can ever go home.

I know.

It's been a while since I last visited my parents' graves.

I wonder if I can visit them before I die.

I also want to take my late father's belongings

back to the home I've never been to.

Liu'er, we're not going back there.

We'll stay here, all right?

Yes!

We're not going back!

I'll take all of you home!

I've decided to ally with the King of Jin.

We'll minimize the number of casualties

and end Chu Kui's rule as soon as we can.

I'll give you back your homes.

Is this really happening?

We can go home?

Leader, are you telling us the truth?

Don't you trust my capability?

No, that's not it!

We trust you!

Leader is taking us home.

Come. Leader is taking us home!

We're going home!

- We're going home! - This is great!

Let's raise a toast to our leader!

- Come! - Cheers!

Cheers!

After the work is done,

I'll go with you.

We'll pay respect to your parents.

There are some jars here.

Let's use them for our bow-throwing.

Let's have a few rounds of games.

- Loser drinks. - Yes.

Until we get drunk!

Sure! The loser must admit defeat! Let's do this until we're drunk!

Come! We'll drink to get drunk!

Cheers!

- You missed. - You do it then.

You missed again!

Leader, why do you keep missing?

Keep it going!

I got it!

Nice!

Keep it going!

Can you not miss it for once?

Why don't you join us for a little while longer?

I never thought you would play pitch-pot with us.

You'll be living with me.

You'll get to know me better.

Leader, where did you get these beast traps?

I got them while I was hunting just now.

I grew up with the wolves.

I saw them get wounded by these traps.

So when I see one now, I disarm it.

Leader! You were raised by wolves?

Langshou Mountain of Kuizhou is where I grew up.

This is so cool, Leader!

It's no wonder your reflexes are so good.

So... you mentioned a girl that you met before you learned

how to talk like a human.

That girl sounds so interesting.

She actually accepted a kid who grew up with the wolves.

She even made you her friend.

Does that girl know how to disarm a beast trap?

Wolf Boy!

It's all right, Wolf Boy.

Where is she now?

She is special and has a heart of gold.

But she is gone.

Don't bother searching for her.

You must have heard.

Prince of Bo accepted the position

and joined hands with me.

Just now I sent some wine to the Qiannu Camp.

You've been writing for some time.

Take a break.

We are allies now.

We must take care of the Qianmu Camp.

Their houses are crude.

Check this for me.

Other than these necessities,

what else should we send them?

Zhaixing, it's been a while

since we've sat down and had dinner together.

We're both working on state affairs. We help each other.

Isn't that more meaningful than eating?

Zhaixing.

I feel like a husband and wife...

we are lacking something.

What is it?

What are you doing?

Nothing. Just some dirt.

Thank you.

I'll check if they need any other necessities.

Prince of Bo finally got convinced by the king to help us in the war.

We should ask Prince of Bo more about

how to break through Minzhou and Suyang.

Sure. Carry on with your work.

Remember to finish the tea I made.

Young Feudal Mistress.

Ma Jing, what is it?

When Ji Chong did this to you,

you should have tightened your lips

or just closed your eyes.

What were you thinking?

And what is wrong with you?

Ji Chong didn't mean what you think it was.

My young mistress still doesn't understand how a relationship works.

And now Prince of Bo is back in the game.

I am worried Ji Chong's marriage with her will be affected.

Nothing, I said I was hungry.

Yao Ji, how was the investigation

by your men from Night Fiends?

Those from the Qiannu Camp are either dead or missing.

There is no evidence showing Prince of Yun was lying.

My health is getting worse by the day.

It's not improving.

Yao Ji, I must act while I can.

I must rebuild my authority!

I understand Your Majesty's intention.

There is a viable plan,

but the price is simply too great.

I don't care what it costs.

I must give it a chance!

We'll hold a ritual,

a prayer for your health and well-being.

Make it happen tomorrow.

We must be patient.

We need a prosperous location to gather the aura.

If we could head for the Longevity Forest of Qitan,

the ritual could be carried out perfectly.

Fine.

Proceed with your plan.

Send a letter to the King of Qitan.

Inform him...

that I need to hold a prayer in the Longevity Forest.

Yes, Your Majesty.

As for the human sacrifices,

I suggest that the three subordinates of Prince of Bo from the Night Fiends

be our human sacrifice.

Execute them as a warning for Prince of Bo's betrayal.

Those scoundrels by Prince of Bo's side,

I don't mind killing them!

Yes, I will obey.

I'll proceed with the preparation of the ritual.

Three days from now, Your Majesty may journey to the Longevity Forest.

Fine.

The ritual about extending His Majesty's life was all made up.

His Majesty's condition has made him too superstitious.

I must use this chance

to save Wen Yan and the others.

Mistress, Prince of Bo just betrayed us.

We're in the middle of a power struggle.

Are you really going to risk your life to save the Night Fiends for Prince of Bo?

Maybe we should wait.

Prince of Bo is no longer under His Majesty's control.

Saving the Night Fiends will remove all their worries.

As long as His Majesty still has them confined,

I'm afraid he might use them to deal with Prince of Bo in the future.

Zi Shen.

Mistress.

I must meet up with Prince of Bo.

Keep an eye on His Majesty and Prince of Yun's every move.

As you wish.

A ritual?

Nonsense!

Does she think I wouldn't know any effort will be futile?

Even now...

Zhang Jin,

I only trust you and Yao Ji.

If we fail to extend my life,

tell me,

will you accompany me to my grave?

To be buried with Your Majesty is the greatest honor I could ask for.

I thank Your Majesty for this honor!

[Yun Royal Mansion]

Chuchu?

Chuchu?

Chuchu?

Your Highness.

Where is my consort?

Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang Jin came here this morning.

He said that His Majesty is not feeling well.

He needs Princess Consort to look after His Majesty.

She will stay in the palace for a few days.

Chuchu is not a physician! Why would they need her?

This is clearly a threat!

Your Highness, please calm down!

Send people to Feng Mansion immediately.

I want Official Feng here now!

Yes, Your Highness.

Princess Consort, we've arrived at the Lonely Village.

The prince has always been concerned about the people's life here at the Lonely Village.

He helped them build a garden

so they can grow food and sustain their lives.

I understand.

The home is only cozy when there is enough sunlight.

Install more windows for them.

Yes.

The weather has been unpredictable.

Houses like these can hardly withstand the weather.

Fortify the houses for these people.

As you wish, Princess Consort.

Young Mistress, if the prince knew you'd been helping with his work,

he would feel very happy about it.

Bad news!

- Princess! - Zhang Yuan.

Liu'er was disarming the beast traps with our leader,

but he got himself hurt!

- What do we do now? - But...

Take him back to his house!

Yes!

Poor boy! He is so badly hurt.

Poor thing.

I need you to get me something.

To break through Minzhou, we need to focus on training the infantry.

Is something bothering you, Prince of Chuan?

Or did I offend you in some way?

I've known it would be like that. I've gathered the elite soldiers from the infantry camp.

We can inspect them later.

You can train them with strategies for breaking through the enemies.

Impressive, Prince of Chuan.

Your action was swift.

I am impressed.

Indeed.

I want peace for the world more than anyone else.

I don't want someone to work too hard on state affairs

and brush me off with some tea.

The princess might be busy,

but deep down she must care very much for you.

How so?

This is the Wandering Dew.

She only makes them for those she cares for.

You've had this before?

No.

When I was a boy,

whenever her father came home from work,

she would go up the mountain to gather the herbs.

Remember to finish the tea I made.

The scent is indeed refreshing.

Thanks.

If it wasn't for you,

I wouldn't have known.

Don't mention it, Prince of Chuan.

Sometimes, you seem to know her better than I do.

Ever since we got married,

all I see in her is the woman who wishes the best for the world.

The once outgoing and carefree Ma Zhaixing I knew

has been gone for so long.

General, Chief Eunuch Shi relayed a message

that Liu'er was hurt.

Liu'er.

- Princess! - You'll be all right.

Princess, look!

Are these the herbs you need?

No.

I'll keep searching.

I have some here.

Here is the herb.

Thank you.

General, it's like you could read her thoughts.

You knew exactly what she needed.

The beast trap, do you remember how to pull it out?

Liu'er, endure it a little.

We are helping you.

It's all right. It's opening.

Liu'er is losing too much blood!

What do we do, Young Mistress?

Zhaixing, do you need water?

Thanks, Ji Chong.

But water will reduce the effectiveness of the herb.

We can't use water right now.

All right.

Let him sleep for a while.

Sister Zhaixing,

so you know how to disarm a beast trap, too.

You must be that very kind girl

who Leader misses so much.

I am not.

Now, sleep.

Let's go.

I'll escort both of you.

Wait, General.

What happened today doesn't mean I still have an attachment to our past.

I just wanted to save the kid.

You and I will never see eye to eye.

But for the greater good,

I will set my grudge for you aside.

I hope you understand.

I know.

Zhaixing, was that necessary?

He and I may be allies for now,

but it's only temporary.

He still owes me for killing my father.

My status right now is your consort.

Less distraction is better for all of us.

Zhaixing, you misunderstood.

- Back in Boxiang, Prince of Bo was— - Your consort is right.

Our work aside,

what's left between us is only grudges.

It's a fact that will never change.

I was supposed to be dead.

I shouldn't even be here.

I shouldn't disrupt the peaceful life she wants.

What matters most is to end the war.

Let the people have peace in their life.

This is what Princess Consort wants.

As for other trivial matters that would torment her,

let's not bring them up again.

Am I right, Prince of Chuan?

I understand what you mean.

Take good care of Liu'er.

Don't let him search for beast traps again.

Let's go home.

Eunuch.

Did you get what I asked?

Yes, he is inside.

You are dismissed.

Yes.

The gold is here.

Do as I say.

Be buried along with His Majesty in my stead.

After all, we share a rather similar face.

Prince of Yun!

Aren't you curious why I am here at this moment?

Prince of Yun!

Have mercy on me!

Of course, I could let you go.

But if my father found out his loyal servant Zhang Jin

refused to be buried with him

and hired someone with a similar face to replace him...

I think you know very well what awaits you.

Your Highness...

How did Your Highness find out?

When I was having the conversation,

there was no one around!

Your Highness must have many spies in this palace!

That's why you know everything!

I only lied because I wanted to live.

Please have mercy!

I need you to do me a favor.

What happened today doesn't mean I still have an attachment to our past.

You and I will never see eye to eye.

How long have you been here?

Ma Zhaixing went through hell and fire to save you.

But she put you in this crude hut?

Is this all for revenge or to avoid gossip?

She and I are merely military allies.

That's all.

Not to mention she is now Prince of Chuan's consort,

while I am a prisoner of war.

This place is quite good.

It suits me.

After obtaining a second chance in life in Qiannu Camp,

all you want is to end the suffering for the people and help Prince of Xun ascend to the throne.

I told you.

You're not fit to lead the Night Fiends.

You are too kind for the job.

I arranged for the Night Fiends

to become human sacrifices for His Majesty's ritual.

When the time comes,

just work with me and all three of your people can be saved.

The details of the operation are in the letter.

Take a look.

Those three are safe for the time being.

As you said, two things worry you.

One is your fourth brother,

the other one is Mo Xiao and the gang.

First, we save them.

That's one less thing to worry about.

You'll then have more chances to save your brother.

Yao Ji, thank you.

I am nothing now.

Why are you still helping me?

You and I promised to live and die as one.

But what really

is making you refuse to abandon me?

Do you still remember?

You once told me

I wasn't alone.

See it however you want,

but I do take this promise very seriously.

Remember.

You're not alone.

I'm here for you.

From that moment on,

I'd decided

you're my only...

family.

We're a family.

We shouldn't give up on each other.

Or perhaps it was my wishful thinking.

We grew up together.

We went through so much together in the past.

You read me just by looking in my eyes.

We are more than just family.

♫ I really want to run into your embrace ♫

♫ Thank you for indulging me to be superstitious ♫

Thank you for everything.

Even as your family,

in the future, I will repay your kindness.

♫ Firmly holding your hand and keep walking like that ♫

♫ I am willing to wait, wait until you understand ♫

♫ Eternity actually is hiding within the love that we believed in ♫

♫ I really want to run into your embrace ♫

See you at the Longevity Forest.

♫ Turned around and rewrote fate ♫

♫ Returning to when we started to love, when there is still no hurt ♫

♫ Forever being together ♫

So he takes after Your Majesty on this.

Father Emperor, I am here to visit you.

I wonder what your conversation was about?

You two seem to be having fun.

I was just talking about Your Highness's hobby.

I was told His Majesty used to like wood carving.

I never knew this before.

Recently I've been feeling better

and have a better appetite.

But I am still an old man.

My strength and sight are not what they used to be.

I can't carve anything myself.

But you are still strong, my son.

You can easily carve anything you want.

Chuchu told me you were carving an eagle statue.

You must be aiming to soar high above the sky.

How ambitious of you.

Not at all, Father Emperor.

I was merely doing it to kill time.

Chuchu, don't you think your husband is a little tense?

His Highness has always taken Your Majesty's words very seriously.

He often tells me that sharing Your Majesty's burden was a great fortune for him as your son.

I have always noticed his filial piety.

I will never forget.

I'm planning to do something for the two of you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Chuchu, the miscarriage took a toll on your health.

You haven't had a child since.

I plan to have Yao Ji prepare acupuncture treatment for you to help with recovery.

No!

Why?

Are you worried I might cause Chuchu more harm?

Not at all.

But I already had an imperial physician give Chuchu therapy.

She's been taking the medicine for quite a while.

The physician advised us to take the medicine continuously for months.

The medication can't be combined with other treatments.

Otherwise, it will hinder the recovery.

It's just for a short period of time.

Prince of Yun, Chuchu is a brilliant girl.

I'm very fond of her.

I hope she can stay here with me.

Do you mind?

I wouldn't dare.

Your Majesty, it's time for your medicine.

Bring it here.

I'll test the medicine for Your Majesty.
