Examining love together with regret, both new and old.

Story of Yanxi Palace

Episode 60

7

Don't misunderstand. I will not harm your beloved.

8

I just find Imperial Concubine Shun familiar at first sight.

9

If she wishes, she may come to Shoukang Palace often

10

to accompany me for conversations.

11

Yes, I'm willing.

12

[ Shoukang Palace ]

13

Yingluo, how is Imperial Concubine Shun?

14

Fine now.

15

Let's go.

16

What happened exactly?

17

Today, I attended Princess He'an's death anniversary.

18

I had wanted to seek Empress Dowager's delight, but the offering suddenly erupted into flames.

19

The Grand Shaman said I was ominous, and pressed Empress Dowager to punish me.

20

How did you escape it?

21

I don't know either,

22

but Empress Dowager was going to grant me death...

23

and suddenly she changed her mind.

24

Before, a palace maid accidentally dropped and broke He'an's childhood doll.

25

That Empress Dowager who's always been so merciful

26

actually ordered for an immediate flogging to death.

27

That was the first time I ever saw the Empress Dowager furious. Her complexion completely changed.

28

Since that moment, I knew He'an wasn't just the beloved daughter of Empress Dowager,

29

she is also her only sore spot. Today you ruined the memorial.

30

She had to vent her anger at you, but why did she then uphold you...

31

and let you go so easily?

32

I . . .

33

I really don't know.

34

I want to hear the truth.

35

It was Consort Ling that saved me.

36

- Consort Ling, what are you doing?

- Yingluo!

37

- Yingluo!

- What are you doing?

38

- Saving your life.

- Where are you going?

39

- Don't move.

- Hurts so much.

40

Hurts? Better than having your head drop.

41

What are you really doing?

42

You're bleeding. Don't move. I'll stop your bleeding.

43

Starting now, every word I say, you must remember them clearly.

44

If you remember half a word wrong, you're done.

45

Indeed that was the case.

46

Your Majesty, you guessed it?

47

Yingluo was accompanying Empress Dowager all along.

48

She is very familiar with all aspects of Empress Dowager.

49

If she wanted to drive a wedge,

50

that head of yours wouldn't still be attached to your neck long ago.

51

Then, you still blame her?

52

I am happy.

53

You're not happy.

54

You know clearly Consort Ling is innocent,

55

but you reprimand her on purpose still.

56

You're clearly angry at her.

57

Angry at her for what?

58

Angry that she doesn't care about you, that she's still living her days continuing on as always.

59

Acting blind to Your Majesty's act of pampering me on purpose.

60

Chenbi.

61

Don't talk nonsense.

62

Your Majesty. I, Chenbi, have eyes.

63

I have a heart. I know how to figure things out.

64

Your Majesty treats me very, very well.

65

But in your heart, another woman has moved in long ago.

66

Stop thinking wildly.

67

Rest early.

68

Your Majesty, I am willing to help you

69

to probe Consort Ling's heart.

70

Your Majesty, you are the person I admire the most.

71

I respect you like a god, and I want you to be happy.

72

Chenbi.

73

I really don't quite understand you.

74

In your heart, you must think the harem consorts envy each other.

75

The dissension, it's all too natural.

76

But I've always believed that consorts can live in harmony.

77

No. I don't want to be friends with your other women.

78

Except for Consort Ling,

79

I am willing to accept her.

80

She's someone with a cold face but a warm heart.

81

Someone worthy of befriending, and Your Majesty's beloved woman at that.

82

Isn't that so?

83

- Chenbi.

- Your Majesty.

84

You try to probe Yingluo with all sorts of measures.

85

Isn't it just to see if she values you?

86

If I can coordinate well, you will surely find out her feelings.

87

I can vouch for it .

88

I've used you.

89

You truly aren't angry?

90

Your Majesty. You've given me much more than that.

91

You respect my personal life and allow me to be unconstrained.

92

Even the little horse outside.

93

You selected it personally too.

94

Someone like you is worthy for me to give my all to love.

95

I never thought...you would say such a thing.

96

Your Majesty. I am willing to give you

97

all the best things in the world.

98

Thank you.

99

However, I'm doing this

100

not because I deem Wei Yingluo especially valuable,

101

I just can't allow that in her heart,

102

I am not first. Do you comprehend that?

103

Yes. I understand.

104

My words. You're not allowed to tell anyone.

105

Your Highness. Your Highness, the Empress is inside.

106

Greetings to Your Highness the Empress.

107

Consort Ling, I've reminded you not to be close to Imperial Concubine Shun,

108

but you let that just be passing wind to your ears?

109

Your Highness the Empress. I've said this before,

110

this matter is not linked to me.

111

Yuan Chunwang.

112

Consort Ling. You just came out of Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace,

113

and Empress Dowager rushed to find the head monk of Wanshou ("Longevity") Temple.

114

What was that about?

115

Empress Dowager invited the Grand Monk to come to the palace to hold a meditation.

116

What's peculiar about that?

117

Wei Yingluo. I thought you were

118

someone crafty, but also someone who keeps her words.

119

I didn't imagine you would break your promise and abandon the oath. At Shoukang Palace,

120

not only did you not get rid of the future disaster as planned, but you actually saved Imperial Concubine Shun instead!

121

Are you insane?

122

Imperial Concubine Shun's crime is not worthy of death.

123

Seducing the Emperor is deserving of death!

124

Now the one who deserves death most is you! How dare you ruin my plan.

125

I only agreed to cooperate with you.

126

I didn't agree to kill Imperial Concubine Shun.

127

Today, Consort Shu and Consort Jia both qualify to ask,

128

only you are not.

129

What are you saying?

130

Empress, do you really think I know nothing?

131

If Empress Dowager really killed Imperial Concubine Shun over momentary anger,

132

it will anger His Majesty.

133

And His Majesty is devoted to his mother,

134

so he naturally wouldn't blame Empress Dowager over a woman.

135

He would vent his anger at whom?

136

Empress? Consort Shu or Consort Jia? None of them.

137

The first one he'd lash out at would have been me,

138

because I have been with the Empress Dowager all along and am now deemed her confidante.

139

Empress, your act of borrowing a knife to kill....

140

The first instance is toward killing Imperial Concubine Shun,

141

the second would come toward me.

142

You're a woman who's lost favor anyway. Why His Majesty would kill you?

143

In the end, you just wanted to save Imperial Concubine Shun.

144

I really don't understand. Publicly, she's a seductress who's deluding the Emperor.

145

Privately, she should be your love rival.

146

By saving her, what were you really after?

147

I have said it already.

148

Imperial Concubine Shun's crime was not worthy of death.

149

I already advised you that Imperial Concubine Shun is not that simple.

150

You refused to listen and believe it. Sooner or later, your kind heart

151

will cause to pay a painful price.

152

I will wait...for that day.

153

Take care, Your Highness Consort Ling.

154

Yingluo, did you offend Her Highness the Empress badly?

155

Once the Empress has taken care of Imperial Concubine Shun,

156

she will target me.

157

What's there to offend?

158

But if you make enemies with the entire harem because of Imperial Concubine Shun, is it worth it?

159

I already said, I'm not doing this to help her.

160

I'm doing it to help myself.

161

You are so stubborn, and refuse to admit defeat.

162

Your Highness, please calm down.

163

It's not worth this for those petty people who breached your trust.

164

Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!

165

How great is that Wei Yingluo! (T/N sarcastic tone)

166

Before I took action on her, she took precautions first!

167

Looks like she's going to join forces with Imperial Concubine Shun to go against me.

168

Mistress, don't worry.

169

The Grand Shaman has made the arrangements.

170

She won't leave any other future troubles.

171

I'm not worried that this matter will leak out.

172

I'm only worried about the Empress Dowager's protection.

173

In the future, it will be harder to take action on Imperial Concubine Shun.

174

Mistress. If we can bribe the Grand Shaman,

175

why can't we bribe the Grand Monk of Wanshou Temple?

176

Grand Master Guangji is a person who supports just causes. He won't compromise his integrity for a small sum of money. (T/N "broad river")

177

As long as you, Mistress, remodel the golden statue of Buddha,

178

and also provide some money, grains and silver

179

to appease those displaced people in the temple

180

and help the temple to tide over the crisis, I was thinking,

181

when it's the appropriate time, we can let the Grand Master say a few righteous words.

182

It's probably not a problem to be blinded by Your Highness.

183

Yuan Chunwang, your brain moves very fast.

184

Mistress, thank you for your praise. I'm willing to share your burden.

185

Greetings, Empress Dowager.

186

You suddenly wanted to see me?

187

Do you have instructions for me?

188

Grand Master Guangji has taught me that when it comes to being reunited with a person through reincarnation,

189

out of many tens of thousands of people, this will happen to only one or two.

190

I thought about this for a long time.

191

The more I think about this, I feel that it's not right.

192

Let me ask you. Does the branding of Imperial Concubine Shun's face has anything to do with you?

193

Empress Dowager, how would I dare to do that?

194

You really didn't do it?

195

His Majesty dotes on Imperial Concubine Shun.

196

Although I don't blame her,

197

but I wouldn't help her to fool you either, Empress Dowager.

198

Yingluo, you have been with me for three years.

199

I know you better than anyone else.

200

Your entire body is full of thorns.

201

You think very fast.

202

Perhaps you would lie just to save Imperial Concubine Shun.

203

Empress Dowager, I wouldn't dare!

204

Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine Shun is here.

205

Since you don't want to tell me the truth, I can only summon Imperial Concubine Shun here.

206

You can confront each other. She's not that delicate.

207

If I find anything from my interrogation,

208

I will definitely punish according to the law. Tell her to come in.

209

Yes.

210

I respectfully greet the Empress Dowager.

211

Imperial Concubine Shun, were you telling the truth?

212

May the Empress Dowager please forgive me.

213

I didn't lie at all.

214

Fine.

215

Be honest. Did anyone teach you to say this?

216

If this is the case, I'm going to mete out punishments.

217

Empress Dowager, I did lie.

218

They were right. I'm unlucky.

219

What are you trying to say?

220

When I was born, everything was normal.

221

When I was older, I kept being sick.

222

I kept saying that I lived in a crystal house.

223

I would even ask for my Nanny Wen and dancing dolls all day.

224

Everyone was scared. A visiting lama passed by.

225

He did an exorcism on me, and thus I returned to being normal.

226

He said that this is called a "borrowed reincarnation". Good thing it was found out early on.

227

If not, he couldn't have preserved my life.

228

Empress Dowager. When the Grand Shaman brought this out in the open on that day,

229

I was terrified. That's why I denied it.

230

Yes. I'm not normal like others

231

but I have never done anything bad

232

to harm anyone!

233

I know that concealment equals deception.

234

If Empress Dowager wants to punish me,

235

punish me severely then.

236

Empress Dowager.

237

Imperial Concubine Shun, Empress Dowager is a kind person.

238

She won't blame you. Why would she pursue this matter? Rise quickly!

239

Hurry and come here! Come here now.

240

My dear child, I've been told

241

it's rare to have such an encounter in life.

242

This is God's gift to you.

243

How could I blame you for this?

244

Don't be afraid, child.

245

Thank you, Empress Dowager.

246

What you said just now, I didn't even know that.

247

Who taught you that?

248

- His Majesty.

- His Majesty?

249

He was afraid the beans would be spilled.

250

You are always sloppy in the way you do things.

251

You don't reconsider first. You will get into trouble sooner or later.

252

Are you saying...

253

When He'an was young and taking her medicines,

254

she would always bawl her eyes out.

255

Empress Dowager sent the staff to place many glass objects in her room.

256

It was to shift her attention.

257

It's just like...

258

It was just like a crystal house.

259

She also relied too much on her Momo Wen.

260

Once it became sunset, she would start looking for her.

261

No one could coax and stop her.

262

Empress Dowager even customized a puppet for her.

263

When she looked at the puppet, she would be very happy,

264

and danced for joy.

265

His Majesty takes care of you very well.

266

Perhaps, he's really not doing this for me.

267

My mistress was even worried that she won't say it so naturally.

268

She couldn't sleep last night

269

and dragged me to practice with her.

270

Fortunately, it's due to you that

271

Empress Dowager didn't pursue this.

272

Yingluo lied for me.

273

Of course, I can't conceal it anymore.

274

He protected me and I protected you.

275

I must act well.

276

The less you talk, the less there is to expose.

277

Remember this.

278

Yes, I will remember this.

279

Empress Dowager doesn't hate Imperial Concubine Shun at all.

280

She totally changed her attitude today.

281

Your method used drastic measures to deal with the situation.

282

It's a real life-saver.

283

Empress Dowager is powerful and sits in a high position,

284

but she is also human. A human will have weaknesses.

285

Even if she has doubts in her heart,

286

she will still be on intimate terms with Imperial Concubine Shun.

287

This is your merit in teaching her.

288

I will teach her how to read and write.

289

From the look of it today, Imperial Concubine Shun is the smartest student.

290

She can pick up a lot of things.

291

She can also deduces from many cases.

292

Yingluo, there seems to be a hidden meaning in what you said.

293

No, she's a good person.

294

It is I who am vigilant against others

295

and can't fully trust others.

296

No matter what, by helping her, it will only cause the harem to be more jealous.

297

In the past, you had His Majesty's protection.

298

You have now lost favor with him. I fear it will be tough for you with every step.

299

Don't worry, the sky will not fall.

300

[ ...hope the Dharma Realm ]

301

Mingyu, where's the Wujin stone I brought back from Hall of Mental Cultivation?

302

I think it's in the storeroom.

303

- I'm going to look for it.

- Go then.

304

Your Highness, do you have instructions for me?

305

Yes. It's a happy matter.

306

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

307

Sister Mingyu! Sister Mingyu! What's wrong?

308

I'm fine. I walked too fast earlier and felt a bit of chest tightness.

309

Do you need me to assist you to rest?

310

I already said that I'm fine. Go back to work.

311

But you look very pale.

312

Just go.

313

Go.

314

Come. All of you come in.

315

Place it inside that room.

316

All of you, be careful. Slow down.

317

Come. Come. Hurry up!

318

Xiao Quanzi, what are these?

319

Sister Mingyu, congratulations.

320

- Congratulations for what?

- Of course, it's for your joyous event.

321

All of you, slow down. Be careful!

322

Mingyu?

323

Why are you here?

324

You sent people to deliver so many gifts. What are they for?

325

Consort Ling didn't tell you?

326

Those gifts are my betrothal gifts.

327

Who said that I'm marrying you?

328

You'll reach the age to leave the palace by the sixth month of this year. Have you forgotten?

329

Consort Ling is anxious about it.

330

She even sent an envoy to my house to talk about our wedding.

331

She didn't tell me anything!

332

She said that if she told you, you surely would refuse to leave the palace.

333

Of course, I can't leave her alone here in the Forbidden City!

334

Mingyu, are you then willing to make me wait forever?

335

I'm the only son in my family.

336

Because I keep refusing to marry, my mother is already very worried.

337

You two have arranged my marriage behind my back.

338

I still haven't agreed to it.

339

I'll tell Consort Ling that the marriage is canceled.

340

Wait!

341

You were deliberately fooling me!

342

Mingyu, I'm earnestly asking you now,

343

are you willing to marry me?

344

- I...

- I will eventually join the battlefield one day.

345

Maybe the ending that's waiting for me—

346

Don't speak any inauspicious words!

347

Even so,

348

are you still willing to marry me?

349

Hailancha, I'm willing to be your wife.

350

You can go fulfill your wish, but remember,

351

no matter what happens, I'll wait for you.

352

I'll wait until you return.

353

I can only find the needles hiding under her skin.

354

It's possible that some have traveled into her lungs. I fear...

355

Miss Mingyu, you must be very careful.

356

When the needle enters your lungs, even the deities can't save you.

357

This is the scent of jasmine flowers.

358

This is jasmine oil.

359

The way to make it is similar to making osmanthus fragrance that I taught you last time.

360

It's just that the fragrance won't last as long as that of osmanthus flowers.

361

But I still like more the white lily fragrance you gave me last time.

362

After applying it, the scent can still be appreciated after a month.

363

You're done checking the betrothal gifts?

364

I'm not getting married!

365

Yingluo,

366

I think the flowers outside are in full bloom.

367

I'll go pick some flowers to make fragrance, okay?

368

Let me borrow this fragrance manual too.

369

[ Hong Chu's "Xiangpu" - Notes on Fragrances (T/N Song Dynasty work, there are two with the same name but authored differently, circa 1100 CE) ]

370

Mingyu, you and Haiilancha have been together for a long time.

371

Although it's not official given the hindrance of your statuses,

372

you two love each other.

373

Now, you're able to wait for the clouds to disperse and the moon to shine through.

374

Why are you suddenly saying that you're not marrying?

375

We've been together for a long time.

376

I can't bear to part with you.

377

I don't want to leave the palace anymore. I also don't want to get married.

378

I'll just stay and accompany you forever. Okay?

379

What silly words are you saying?

380

Once you marry, we still can see each other.

381

Also, you are after all a palace maid. Your identity is special.

382

Although you've reached the right age and can have your own marriage,

383

Hailancha still officially expressed it

384

to the Emperor just to show his respect.

385

Now, you mustn't change your mind.

386

I don't care! Anyway,

387

I can't marry him! I can't!

388

If you won't marry, you must give me an acceptable reason.

389

I can't get married.

390

I will never marry Hailancha!

391

- Mingyu!

- This one then.

392

Yes.

393

Imperial Concubine Shun? Why are you here?

394

What has happened?

395

What could happen? Just that I don't want to get married.

396

If you're not willing to marry him, why are you still making him shoe soles?

397

You deliberately angered Yingluo.

398

What are you hiding?

399

Nothing!

400

Mingyu, you're sick.

401

I'll go tell Yingluo right away.

402

No! Don't tell her.

403

You must not tell her.

404

I beg you.

405

Why?

406

There is a silver needle

407

hidden in my body for a long time.

408

Moving with my blood, it has reached my heart.

409

I don't know how long I can still last.

410

Maybe a year.

411

Maybe a few months.

412

Maybe tomorrow.

413

Or maybe, in the next moment,

414

I'll just fall down.

415

If you tell Yingluo,

416

she surely won't be able to take it.

417

But you need treatment.

418

It can't be cured.

419

Ye Tianshi said that it's incurable.

420

Since that's the case, why waste time?

421

This is the reason why you won't marry?

422

If I marry Hailancha now,

423

I'm just going to let him watch me die right in front of him.

424

Mingyu,

425

Hailancha personally reported this matter to His Majesty.

426

That once you reached the right age to leave the palace, and regain your freedom,

427

he will immediately hold your wedding ceremony.

428

Yingluo knew that your family background is poor.

429

She even personally prepared your dowry,

430

so that you can be married off in a grand manner.

431

Now, you're just saying that you won't marry anymore.

432

How will Hailancha face people from now on?

433

But I can't tell them.

434

When Yingluo learns about this, how sad will she be?

435

I can't say anything.

436

Mingyu, the wood has been made into a boat. (T/N it's too late to turn back now)

437

As long as you're alive,

438

you then must enter the marriage sedan.

439

Yingluo, let Minyu get calm.

440

You don't understand.

441

Of course I understand.

442

You granted her a marriage because you feel it's not safe by your side.

443

You want to protect her, isn't that it?

444

Chenbi. Don't presume recklessly.

445

If Mingyu hears you, she'll overthink it.

446

It's because of me. Because of me, you offended the Empress.

447

You're afraid you've courted her revenge, so you're sending Mingyu out of the palace.

448

Mingyu fulfilling her age to leave the palace is a good thing.

449

You're overthinking it.

450

Also, I've never been scared of anyone.

451

You're not afraid, but you always want to protect others.

452

You two are both thinking about each other,

453

but you won't come clean with each other.

454

Yingluo, you protected me and I've marked that in my heart.

455

Don't worry. I will never let the Empress harm you.

456

What are you doing?

457

Your Majesty.

458

I greet Your Majesty.

459

Rise.

460

[ Hong Chu's "Notes on Fragrances" ]

461

This is Hong Chu's "Notes on Fragrances".

462

When did you become interested in making fragrance?

463

I was just looking at it

464

to kill time. Nothing much.

465

At Yanxi Palace, how are the rule lessons coming along?

466

Consort Ling is teaching me rules.

467

Teaching me embroidery and to admire paintings.

468

She seems to know how to do everything.

469

She does know how to do everything,

470

but nothing is refined. I've said to her many times before,

471

to focus on just one thing, but she would argue with conviction

472

that she says she didn't want to become an expert, but a person who can do many things shallowly.

473

All absurd talk.

474

I think she just doesn't have patience.

475

She learns everything but learns nothing to refinement.

476

If you scold her,

477

she will argue with full conviction and that sharp tongue she was born with leaves you no chance.

478

Your Majesty. Why did you stop?

479

You go to Yanxi Palace daily.

480

Consort Ling, has she mentioned me half a moment?

481

Of course.

482

What did she say?

483

She said . . .

484

She . . .

485

She never mentioned me at all, right?

486

Your Majesty, don't blame Wei Yingluo at all.

487

You're always treating her coldly, over and over.

488

She's making efforts to disoblige you.

489

Disoblige... or perhaps not caring at all?

490

It's impossible that she is does not care!

491

She's your consort. She only has you in her heart.

492

Of course she misses you and longs for you.

493

She won't say it now, but it doesn't mean she doesn't.

494

One day you will force her to speak her heart.

495

Will I?

496

You will. Of course you will.

497

Then that requires that she really has me in her heart.

498

Your Majesty, no matter what,

499

I will always treat you as my first priority.

500

Your Majesty. Don't be upset.

501

If you're upset, I can't be happy either.

502

You're like a child.

503

Mingyu. The wedding dress is here. Try it on.

504

I've already said everything that needs to be said.

505

Yingluo, don't force me.

506

I am not forcing you. I am worried.

507

You're worried about what?

508

I am worried you'll miss out on your own happiness.

509

I won't marry Hailancha at any rate.

510

You should forget that thought.

511

Mingyu.

512

How did you get in here?

513

I climbed the wall.

514

What exactly are you doing here?

515

I can't sleep, so I wanted to come chat with you.

516

I am not used to sleeping next to someone!

517

- You sleep over there.

- I don't believe you.

518

If His Majesty were here, you'd still push him out?

519

- Hey, go sleep there!

- Okay, alright!

520

- Alright!

- Get over there!

521

- What are you doing?

- Why are your feet so cold? I'll warm them for you.

522

No need!

523

- No need.

-What is that sound?

524

Today is the lunar eclipse.

525

His Majesty will dress unadorned to evade the moon.

526

The high ministers will also burn incense and bow, and assist with the moon ceremony.

527

What you heard was the sound of gongs and drums,

528

and people yelling to banish the heavenly dog (T/N the dog who eats the moon if not driven off)

529

to save the moon.

530

You don't believe it?

531

You also don't believe it.

532

The first time I saw you, I already knew.

533

You are not someone who believes in gods or ghosts.

534

On the exterior you're speaking so seriously.

535

But in your heart, you must despise it.

536

You speak as though you know me so well.

537

You are clearly have a cold face with warm heart.

538

You always keep people a thousand li away.

539

At this rate

540

farther and farther away.

541

Sometimes women

542

need to learn to show a softer side.

543

That way more people will care about you.

544

You coax His Majesty in all ways,

545

but you won't say one word from your heart to him.

546

Someone like you is a tough mouth with a soft heart.

547

You'll lose out big time.

548

Why do you always pester me?

549

You and I both don't belong in the Forbidden City,

550

but we have to be confined here forever.

551

You're so lonely, but I am also very lonely.

552

Why can't we seek warmth from each other?

553

I have Mingyu.

554

Your words.

555

Your actions. You have to explain to her repeatedly.

556

She follows you...but she doesn't understand you.

557

Isn't it regrettable?

558

Without reciprocity,

559

you cannot be true friends.

Forgetting Each Other

562

♫It's very likely that recalling vivid images will throw me into upheaval,♫

563

♫The past graceful, concerning passions have gone only into hibernation.♫

564

♫Along with my lord, my original aspirations are now distant, the promises and wishes to accompany each other♫

565

♫Are proof of yearning endured, trembling in the endless night.♫

566

♫How true our feelings were, even though our fate was shallow,♫

567

♫Hearts locked away in dark halls from the light, difficult to find and recover.♫

568

♫Other people envy my splendid, bright clothing, the warmth beside my pillow, (T/N the love of her lord)♫

569

♫Then turning round sigh admiringly, through wet tears in somber-colored robes.♫

570

♫Who clearly would cling to a moment of being in love and inseparable?♫

571

♫The end of passion becomes merely a sentimental entanglement.♫

572

♫If one uses separation to cut away the bindings,♫

573

♫Forgetting one another is also difficult in the depths of one's dreams.♫

574

♫Who clearly would still cling to these deep feelings and desire them again,♫

575

♫And give free rein to this state of mind over and over in their dreams?♫

576

♫Glory and splendor give shelter to appearing to forget the pain,♫

577

♫From dreams awakening after a time, with nothing new to worry about.♫

578

♫Treating them like smoke dissipating, ashes flying away, cold hoarfrost under the moonlight...♫

579

♫All the memories of love, memories of hate....♫

580

♫All the memories completely vanish.♫
