"No Return" by Fan Shiqi

♫ Memories slowly surround me, are they happy or sad? ♫

♫ The intersection of being clear-headed and blurry, can’t determine if it’s white or black ♫

♫ Going against the wind yet still pursuing, I must retreat if I cannot advance ♫

♫ You needn’t and I am unwilling for tears to fall ♫

♫ For you I won’t regret anything even if I forget who I am ♫

♫ No matter how many years have passed, even when stars are falling ♫

♫ I’ll spend this long journey nestled together with you ♫

♫ Grant me a cup of deep love, a life of being intoxicated ♫

[Qing Qing Zi Jin]

[Episode 35]

She doesn't dare to even speak loudly.

Look at her now.

Look at the way she is now.

How come there's suddenly no sound?

Father...

I didn't call for you, why are you also here?

I...I just want to hear

what you guys are talking about.

But, I couldn't hear clearly.

Your Father said I've been a bad influence on you.

Father, father! Please don't misunderstand! Qiuchi

Luo Qiuchi hasn't been a bad influence on me

trust me! This is my inherent nature.

If it weren't for him, I would still be the A'Juan

who's well-behaved and cringes whenever I encounter any problems.

Father, didn't you say that you like the optimistic and careful nature of my mother?

Didn't you also hope that I would be like her?

Now that I'm like her, why are you unhappy?

It's all due to the contributions of Luo Qiuchi!

Father

we are truly in love.

I beg you, please don't break us apart. Please Father?

Father, I beg you Father!

Enough.

- Father... - Whatever you two want to do, just do it.

Father! You mean

you agree to our marriage?

I agree.

You will give us your blessings and let us get married?

Do it.

Wonderful!

Do you hear that? Father approves of our marriage!

Do you really approve of our marriage?

I approve!

- Thank you Lord Wenren. - Thank you Father.

Talking about this,

your older sister is still in Dali Temple.

We don't know what the future will bring too.

Hence, don't announce this.

Especially, your stepmother. Don't let her know.

You must keep this a secret.

I understand.

All right, why don't you two return home.

I want to be alone.

OK.

Then Father, please have a good rest.

What I meant is you each go to your own rooms.

Lord Wenren, don't worry, I understand clearly what you mean.

Father, rest well!

This old fogey. Everyone's pretending to be noble and virtuous with me.

I've spent so much money

yet no one is willing to help me!

Just a bunch of lousy people.

Once Shu'er is saved, I won't let any of them go!

Don't Madam, this is very expensive.

Big Madam!

Big Madam, Madam Fu sent a message

she said that Big Miss and Young Master Fu's marriage

is now an impossibility to continue further.

Scram!

Quickly get out.

Scram!

All of you scram!

Please.

- Prince Kang. - Madam Wen has come.

Please, have a seat.

Quickly serve Madam Wen wine.

I don't drink wine.

Then all of you leave us.

Madam Fu, you have visited several Imperial Court officials.

Prince Kang, what are you trying to say?

My power in the Imperial Court can be considered as very influential.

Madam, you're so anxious, why didn't you come find me to help?

Who in the Imperial Court doesn't know

that we can't get along with each other?

If I were to seek your help,

wouldn't I be throwing my Shu'er into the fire pit?

I and Wenren Jing aren't compatible

but it doesn't I and you can't work together.

How come?

Who you're trying to get rid of, is also unsightly to my eyes.

Luo Qiuchi...

What did he do to you?

You don't have to care about that. But I'm not helping you for naught

The price that you promised Eunuch Liu,

I want twice that amount.

I'll give you 3 times that amount.

At this price, I'm afraid even if you sell Wenren manor, it wouldn't be eough.

Madam, where will you get all that money?

You don't have to worry about that.

I not only want to bring home my Shu'er

I also want them to get a taste of my suffering

and have them watch with open eyes all their loved ones perish!

And let them be tormented

to death in despair.

Madam, you already have ideas?

Sorry to make you come all the way here.

Lord Wenren, please remain here. I'm leaving.

- Take care. - Okay.

- A'Juan. - Father.

Father, isn't he the minister from Dali Temple? What is he doing here?

We're here for Elder Sister's situation?

You can say it is.

We have news of Sister's situation?

It's Big Madam.

She privately bribed Eunuch Liu bcause of your older sister's situation.

What?

Why would Eunuch Liu tell you?

The palace is now very cautious about Yan Qi's case.

All eyes are watching Dali Temple now.

Eunuch Liu is also very cautious. He told me

he would do his best to take care of Shu'er.

It can also be considered as selling favors to me.

Looks like this time, Big Madam is truthfully panicking.

For Elder Sister, she drops everything.

Do you know how much she bribed Eunuch Liu?

How much?

Lord Wenren, people from the Imperial Palace are here

they are here to ask you to report to the Palace right away for urgent matters.

We've just been dismissed from Imperial Court, why am I being summoned again?

Let me prepare.

It's said it is urgent, and no hesitation to be spared.

- Really? - Yes.

- OK. Prepare the carriage. - Yes.

Then I'm going to get going.

Please be careful on the way Father.

Zhu Xiu Academy

It was you who instructed Wenren Shu to poison my water?

What do you want?

I'm a simple person, except for an exceptionally petty heart.

You have clearly tried to make things difficult for me many times.

Whatever you owe me, I will get you to pay back one by one.

I didn't get back at you before

was because Little Monkey asked me to spare you on your behalf

but now,

I will no longer be lenient.

Oh, right

Lord Wenren has already agreed to mine and Little Monkey's marriage.

But don't worry, I won't give you an invitation card.

Greetings Prince Kang.

Where is His Majesty?

What urgent matters do you have that you have even invited Prince Qian Hui?

It was Prince Kang who invited me here.

Prince Qian Hui, and my fellow officials

HIs Majesty is not feeling well today, so I am representing him today.

Lord Wenren

the matter at hand today is because of you.

Wenren Shu dared to put poison during the competition with Wu Kui

under my watch.

Her vicious deed must have a consequence.

My daughter committed a crime, as her Father I shall take the punishment

please carry out the appropriate punishment.

You think a simple punishment will make this go away?

Wenren Jing, out of everyone, you know our Imperial Court's punishments most well out of everyone

Wenren Shu's conduct was a serious misconduct that could have completely destroyed two countries' diplomacy.

The punishment is the elimination of the seven clans.

Prince Kang, please let me personally see His Majesty.

His Majesty had already appointed me

to be responsible for this matter.

Good thing I know you've always been a good official

and always thinks of the people.

If the imperial court were to lose you, it would be a great loss.

As such, I've thought of a plan for you.

Since it was your daughter who committed the crime at the competition between my Imperial Court and the Wukui,

Then it should be your daughter

who should make up for the mistake.

Aunt, you are back.

Where are you going now?

Madam, Lord Wenren is back.

Father.

Clan of Wenren, listen to the edict.

On the fifth month of next year,

the eldest daughter of Wenren is given a special amnesty for

shielding a person guilty from a death penalty.

The Wenren clan is exempted from the crime.

As a special tribute,

the second daughter of Wenren, Juan

will marry Prince Wukui Bu.

My Imperial Court and Wukui Bu

will become closer.

There will be peace in the kingdom.

Long live the Emperor.

What are you saying?

Obey the edict.

I have decided to bestow your daughter with

a marriage alliance with Prince Qianhui.

This way, the lives of the Wenren family would all be spared.

However, Prince Kang, Shu'er is now a criminal.

Entering a marriage alliance with the Prince of Wukui does not conform to etiquette.

Prince Kang, please reconsider.

Your family still has a Wenren Juan.

Lord Wenren,

please consider.

Father.

Father, I can't marry Prince Qianhui.

You know that Luo Qiuchi and I have already agreed to marry each other.

How could you agree to this marriage proposal?

Husband.

There's really no other option?

The words of the son of heaven, (Emperor)

once they are issued,

the marriage alliance

can't be interceded.

I won't marry.

I refuse to marry into distant Wukui.

Lord Wenren, under the orders of Prince Kang,

I'm here to bring your daughter to the palace immediately.

I'm not leaving!

Child,

I know this is very unfair to you.

But you have to understand.

What are you shouldering now,

are the lives of the Wenren clan.

For the sake of your love, can you really

bear to let your father, me

and the entire clan be beheaded?

Child,

can you bear to?

I...

Please, Consort.

Father.

Father.

Ever since I was a child,

I've obeyed you in everything.

This time,

I will still obey you.

I...

obey the decree.

[Wenren Manor]

Marriage alliance?

You are letting Little Monkey and that little fart enter into a marriage alliance?

It was a unanimous decision made by all officials.

I, Wenren Jing, had no choice.

So?

You sold Little Monkey to them?

She's my daughter. You think I want to do this?

Then stop it.

You are the Deputy Minister. You can't even protect your daughter?

Luo Qiuchi!

When my Shu'er is back, knowing that this little slut is not around,

she will be very happy.

Whatever you say now has no use.

It has already been set.

Who says everything has already been set?

Where do you think you're going?

I'm going to bring back my wife!

Open the door!

Anyone there?

Let me out!

Fu Residence

YuanZhi.

Mother.

- Returning to the Academy? - Yes.

There is still class in the afternoon.

You've probably already heard about what had transpired with Wenren Juan?

This little sly fox seductress

- what are you anxious about? - is she really going to marry into Wu Kui?

The Majesty has already announced the imperial edict, could it be a fake?

No. I have to go see.

Stop.

Didn't you already forget about that little sly fox seductress?

Don't tell me you still have feelings for her.

You should hate her to the bones.

She's marrying to a far away land, you should be happy.

What? You've still haven't forgotten her?!

- You were lying? - I wasn't lying!

Mother

I've tried.

but your Son really can't do it.

I thought as long as I harden my heart

and force myself to hate her, I can forget it.

but I failed.

So I thought

if I become a more hateful creature

let her hate me, keep her distance from me

then I wouldn't long for her anymore.

But I still failed.

Mother...

Useless!

Your Son is wrong.

Mother, I just want to see with my own eyes.

Once I return, I'll accept my punishment.

- Servants come! Lock Young Master up. - Mother!

Without my orders, no one can let him out.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

You're finally here.

Tell them all that you actually don't want to marry me. Let me go back home.

I already promised them.

- Why? - Because not only are you kind

you have exceptional skills too.

With those young ladies from families of officials who only know poems and songs,

you are different from them. Your older sister who plotted against you,

I thought you would be soft-hearted. But you didn't.

Subsequently, I thought you would cut her off completely

but you didn't overdo it.

Hence, when Prince Kang brought up this

marriage alliance, I didn't hesitate and agreed.

what a joke!

So I saved you

and you take me by force, is that how you repay someone?

I will treat you well. Marry me.

Let me tell you now! I already have someone I love.

The person I love is Luo Qiuchi!

From today on, the person you love is me!

Impossible.

Let me tell you, I won't go with you!

Luo Qiuchi also wouldn't ever let me go with you!

Then you would definitely be dissapointed.

- What do you mean? - We're leaving right now.

Returning to Wu Kui.

Stop.

Let way.

Luo Qiuchi!

Wait!

General Hang.

You're here just in time. Let them let me in.

You can't go in. Lord Wenren told me to stop you.

Fine.

- Don't stop me too. - I won't let you in.

If you barge in, there's only a death road awaiting you.

So what?

You think I will watch Little Monkey be taken away?

The team of envoys from Wukui will only leave in a few days. We can negotiate with them.

Before then, we can come up with better ideas.

Negotiate? Hang Ruxue, when did you become so foolishly sentimental?

Ever since I have Zhao Qinghe.

It's the same for you. If you act rashly and will lose your life,

Wenren Juan will be alone. Is this a good idea?

Stop with the useless talk. Let me see her.

How do you see her?

There are so many guards, even if you see her, how will you two escape?

Then I shall give it a try shouldn't I?

If you're my Brother, don't impede me.

Princess Consort, everyone is waiting for you to continue on the road.

Please.

Your Majesty.

Let's go. It will take at least seven days to reach Dengzhou Port.

Let's speed up.

Yes.

Qiuchi, why are you still not here?

Princess Consort.

[Dormitory of Qiuchi and Ruxue]

You're awake?

The team of envoys from Wukui left last night

for Dengzhou Port.

Wenren Juan is also with them.

I didn't think they would be so quick

it's my fault.

Luo Qiuchi

Hua Ruxue

if you're not my Bro

From the capital to Dengzhou Port, it takes at least seven days by horse.

It's still not too late to catch up with them.

Wait.

You must be careful.

Open the door!

I've thought it through. I want to talk to my Mother personally.

Open the door, open the door!

- Should we open the door? - Let's open the door.

- Let me in! - You can't go in!

Young Master Fu!

Prince Kang, Master Fu refuses to be stopped.

Everyone leave us.

Why did you give A'Juan to Wu Kui?!

What does that have to do with you?

Didn't you tell my daughter Xuan Yin that you have no more connections with Wenren Yuan?

And wholly devote yourself to Xuan Yin?

As for who Wenren Yuan marries and to where, what does that have to do with you?

You're testing me?

I'm just giving you a clean break.

Who doesn't know that Wenren Juan

is Wenren Jing's illegimate bastard, who can't marry into a good family.

Why not just marry her to the Wu Kui Prince

although that Wu Kui Prince isn't old enough, at least he's still a Prince.

Wenren Juan is having fun at other's expense.

You shut up!

You dare to disrespect me!

If you insult A'Juan anymore, I'm going to kill you!

What if I insult her?

Don't you not care about her anymore?!

Who said I don't care about her? I love her.

She's mine. She can only marry me!

Yue'er, did you hear all that?

I've heard it all.

Yue'er.

You've finally seen his true face.

I don't care.

- Yue're! - As long as you're willing to go back

and be willing to be with me forever. I don't care why you wanted to get close to me in the first place.

I will continue to like you.

I am willing to marry you.

I'm sorry.

Shu'er.

Mother has come late.

Shu'er.

Shu'er.

Who are you?

I'm your Mother.

Mother?

Shu'er. Mother is going to bring you back home ok?

- Come. - How come you're here just now?

Come with me back home. Let Mother bring you back home.

Don't you love me Shu'er the most?

Come, Mother will bring you back home.

- Back home? - Yes.

- Back home. Yes. Back home.

Come.

Why did you bring them here?

I know

you want them to arrest me.

Is that right?

Looks like

you are the same as all the rest of them.

All of you are here to lie to me.

Tell me

why do you have to lie to me?!

Why do you have to lie to me?!

- Gaurds! - Tell me why you have to lie to me?!

Liar, liar!

Liar!

Stop.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

I already told you, it's impossible for Luo Qiuchi to catch up

no matter how hard you try to stall time.

Let's proceed, Consort.

Stop!

♫ Just met you at the intersection ♫

♫ Don’t worry about the twists and turns to the left and right, be more stable ♫

Stop!

♫ Meeting you is the most beautiful beginning ♫

- Qiuchi! - Little Monkey, I'm here to escort you back home!

Stop him!

Qiuchi!

Let me go! Let me go!
