=Rebirth For You=

=Episode 17=

This is monkshood, rhizoma zingiber,

cistanche and epimedium.

And this is scutellaria, caulis perllae,

atractylodes, dodder...

Come on.

Why are you dividing the herbs?

Get the herbs

and decoct them for him.

He can’t take this.

Why can’t he?

The left pile is aphrodisiac.

The right pile is for miscarriage prevention.

Stop laughing.

You’re so badly wounded.

If you were an ordinary man,

you would have been dead.

You’re still alive,

only because you have a strong body.

But without medicine,

you’re likely to die, too.

It’s the third time.

Aning, it’s the third time you went wrong today.

What’s on your mind?

Anything wrong?

Nothing.

I’ll go apply some more glue.

Commander,

in recent days,

Aning has been absent-minded.

I heard

he’s getting close to a handyman

and often visits him without a reason.

Mind your own business.

Don’t gossip about others.

Come on.

Where does it hurt?

I didn’t see you the whole day.

My heart hurts.

Why are you still in the mood of joking?

It’s Zhao Xiao, I guess. I’ll go open the door.

Ma... Master.

Sir.

Ma...

Here we meet again.

You know each other?

We came to Yongqing State alive,

because he saved us.

He’s your husband?

How did he know I was a girl?

Don’t stare at me like that.

I knew it on the first day you came.

No boys can be as lovely as you.

Master,

I shouldn’t have kept it from you.

He’s my husband.

He hasn’t returned home after the war.

I was looking for him and came here.

So, that’s why

you’ve been absent-minded lately?

He’s badly wounded.

He needs good herbs

and careful treatment from doctors.

But I can do nothing.

This really isn’t a place for recuperation.

What about the other man?

Take them to me tomorrow.

Be quick.

You two, get him to the bed.

Be careful.

He’s my distant nephew.

Go get a doctor to us.

Yes.

Sir,

thank you.

I’m not helping you.

I’m helping my apprentice.

Master,

we don’t know how to thank you.

I help you because I cherish your talent

and hope you can work for me without concern.

But you came for your husband.

And he’s a soldier.

I don’t think you’ll stay long in Yongqing State.

When he gets recovered,

you’ll have another plan.

Master.

We can’t repay your kindness.

In either state,

where there’s a war,

people suffer most.

The fact that you and your husband can have a reunion

is because of your luck.

You should cherish it.

Mm.

I’m going back to the Weapon Battalion.

If you need anything, tell the servants.

If our states weren’t at war,

I wish I could keep learning from Master.

By the way,

Master made sense.

It’s dangerous to stay here for long.

We should try to leave this place.

Here we are.

Open your eyes.

Wow.

What a beautiful place!

Qing An, come over!

A petal rain.

Come and play with me.

Come on.

An?

What’s wrong?

When I was little, I was often bullied by my elder brother.

In case my mother got unhappy,

I tried hard to pretend I was all right.

But my mother saw me through every time

and she asked me,

“Qing An, what’s wrong?”

I suddenly realize that

it’s been quite a long time

that no one asked what was wrong

or cared for me

since my mother left.

No way. You have me.

I’m your good friend.

Sometimes,

the care I want

can’t be from a friend.

Tell me what you want, then.

Do you know where this place is?

This is my mother’s favorite place.

She calls it Flower Dream.

It’s a blooming season

when it looks the most beautiful.

So, I want to show you around here.

Falling petals, leisurely, carefree, as in a dream.

It’s quite a beautiful place.

My mother loved flowers.

Then my father had this sea of flowers

planted for her.

Your father must have loved her a lot.

He did, I guess.

Otherwise,

why would he plant such a sea of flowers

for my mother

when he was so busy?

My mother was from Mu’an.

After she was saved by my father,

she married him.

But my grandfather

got a wife from Yongqing for my father

and she gave birth to my elder brother.

Your mother was a concubine though she married your father earlier.

Your mother must have lived a bad life.

You’re right.

When I think about it now,

I guess she was very sad.

But she never looked sad in front of me.

She often took me to this valley, though.

Unfortunately, she left when I was very little.

Everyone says she eloped with a man.

But I don’t believe that.

She loved me

and my father so much.

Why would she ever abandon us?

So, I’ve been doing business in different towns,

so that I could find her someday.

Your mother came up with

such a beautiful name as Flower Dream.

I’m sure she is a gentle

and nice woman.

I’ll look for her with you.

We’ll find her.

Dongzhi.

Mm?

I have something for you.

What a special ring!

But I don’t usually wear rings.

Now that you’re wearing it,

it’s yours.

Dongzhi,

from this day on,

we’re no longer friends.

Ah?

It’s a present for breaking up?

Why do you have such a weird custom?

No.

This is the love token

my father gave my mother.

According to our custom,

when I give you this token,

you’re the one I want.

♪Don’t dream♪

Dongzhi,

from this day on,

you’re no longer my good friend,

but the girl I love.

♪Others think I’m insane♪

♪Because no one sees♪

♪The moment you stop♪

An.

Are... are you kidding me?

In our state, when we love someone,

we confess to her.

Life is short.

Meeting a girl that I have a crush on

isn’t that easy.

Li Dongzhi,

will you try liking me?

♪I don’t need another look♪

♪Tears run down silently♪

♪Others think I’m insane♪

♪I smile back at them♪

♪Because in such a world♪

♪I only change for you♪

Sorry. I was abrupt.

Qing An!

♪The obsession in my heart♪

♪I’m scared if I can’t realize my dream♪

♪I’m scared♪

♪To be back to the start when I wake up♪

♪Luckily the story isn’t over yet♪

I think we can try!

♪Life may show some mercy♪

♪Time isn’t wasted yet♪

Wait for me!

Dongzhi!

♪We can stay together in peace♪

♪That day won’t be too far away♪

Sir.

It’s so good to be young.

You can get off the bed so soon.

Thank you.

Thank you, Master, for the medicine and doctor.

You’re always honey-lipped.

You keep flattering me every day.

Seize your time

to learn from me.

Or you won’t have a second chance.

Mm.

Master, I’ll go decoct the herbs.

Don’t drink any wine.

I won’t.

Come on.

The more beautiful the wife is,

the more scared the husband will be.

The more scared I’m of my wife, the luckier I’ll be.

Sir, speaking of it,

why don’t you get a wife?

Get a wife to restrain me?

She won’t allow me to drink.

You make sense.

You’re indeed lucky.

Aning is such a beautiful girl.

After living for so many years,

I’ve never seen any lady as beautiful as Aning,

but the concubine from Mu’an

of the King of Yongqing.

The King had a concubine from Mu’an?

The situation wasn’t the same as now

when the two states are always at war.

In the past,

there was no war between the two states.

Yongqing people exchange their horses and milk

for silk and tea from Mu’an people.

The two states were in harmony.

The King of Yongqing was a prince at that time.

He didn’t use the imperial flag,

but the flag of his clan.

He usually went hunting on the border.

One day,

he saw a Mu’an village on the border

was on fire.

A woman ran out.

The King then saved her.

After a three-month treatment, she finally woke up.

The King kept taking care of her

for three months.

What harm is there

to take care of his beloved woman?

If I were him,

I would take care of her for my whole life.

Yeah. He said so, too.

He was willing to do anything for her.

She liked flowers.

The King then planted a sea of flowers for her.

You know what?

It’s not easy to plant that kind of flower

in our state.

But what a pity!

What pity?

Life is too complicated.

They loved each other,

but they couldn’t end up together.

When people love each other, they should try to be together.

You’re too young and naive.

When you grow up, you’ll know.

People have too many responsibilities to bear.

Even if they love each other,

they can’t end up together.

If I were him,

I wouldn’t let it happen.

Li Qian!

I saw you drink some wine.

You deny it?

Say something.

I’m still here.

Don’t get angry.

I was just too excited talking to him.

I won’t listen. I won’t.

Oh.

Try to trick me again?

I ran too fast

and hurt my rib.

Let me check.

Hold me.

Are you all right?

Much better.

- Go, go, go. - Don’t be angry.

I’m not angry anymore.

Be careful.

They’re quite having fun.

Let it go.

Don’t hurt yourself.

Let it go?

It’s easier said than done.

When I see the girl belonging to me

is taken away,

how can I just let it go?

For humans,

it’s the hardest thing

to overcome their desire.

Come and have a look.

Brother?

Brother!

I knew you would be alive.

You’re brave and powerful.

You wouldn’t easily die.

Stop flattering me.

He hasn’t completely recovered yet.

When he can come out, he came to see you first

to tell you he’s all right.

Go take a seat.

Mm.

- Go. - Mm.

Come on.

Come on.

Baoning, you’re brilliant.

You indeed found my brother.

Mm.

I think

there’s nothing you can’t do in this world.

From this day on,

I’ll admire you from the bottom of my heart.

Come on. Let’s have some tea instead of wine

and cheers.

Double-headed Eagle?

Cheers.

Where did you get the ring?

From a friend.

A friend?

Mm.

Who’s he?

Why did he give you a ring?

He...

He’s Qing An.

He’s a businessman

who does business in Yongqing and Mu’an.

This ring

is the love token his father gave his mother.

Brother.

Love token?

How long have you known him?

Who exactly is he?

Why did he approach you?

Don’t you even think about it?

I’m warning you!

I don’t allow you to see him again.

You and he can’t be a couple!

Yes.

I haven’t known him for a long time.

But before you know who he is,

you’re being so assertive already.

Why?

You!

Stop quarreling.

Let’s reason things out.

This is not negotiable!

I’m telling you.

You two won’t make a couple.

I don’t allow you!

You can’t interfere!

You!

Dongdong!

Dongdong!

What happened?

Are you all right?

Yes.

What’s wrong with the ring?

I’ve never seen you be so angry.

Do you remember I told you

what happened to my mother?

Mm.

When Yongqing troops attacked the border,

someone set fire and massacred your village.

Your mother died in the fire, too.

When the village was on fire,

my father was on his way back home.

Fire!

They set the fire!

I’ll fight with them!

Don’t go! Don’t.

There are so many of them.

He saw the pattern

on those people’s flag.

So,

the owner of the Double-headed Eagle Flag

was the murderer?

Over so many years,

my father and I have been looking for

the owner of the Double-headed Eagle Flag

but we failed.

When Dongdong fell in the water, Qing An saved her.

They have similar personalities.

Dongdong won’t be nice to him

if she knows he’s not a good man.

Is there some misunderstanding?

My father saw it with his eyes.

How can it be a misunderstanding?

Baoning,

I’ll find out the truth.

If Qing An’s clan is involved,

I’ll make them pay with their lives.

Why did you restrain me?

Why did you?

I...

Annoying!

Qing An, who exactly are you?

Why is my brother so angry?

Simply because you’re from Yongqing?

I don’t care.

No matter where you’re from,

you’re just you.

I want to trust you.

Yunyang

Go.

Where’s your pass?

I forgot to take it.

Go away!

Go, go.

Stop him!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

You have no pass and you look suspicious.

Are you a spy from Mu’an?

No, officer. I’m just a refugee.

Officer, please let go of me!

Officer, I’m just a refugee. Officer!

Officer!

According to First Prince,

we would rather kill wrong persons than let them go!

Miss Gao,

without the pass, we have to break in.

If we alert Qing Tai, there’ll be trouble.

Let’s wait here

and try to find him when the opportunity arises.

If Qian is in Yunyang,

he’ll try to get out.

We can coordinate with him here.

Mm.

Have you got the pass?

Yes.

Young Master,

this pass is

only available for 24 hours.

Before this time of tomorrow,

you have to get out of town.

All right. Get ready

and wait for me at the city gate.

I worry about you.

Young Master,

there’s a nearby deserted posthouse out of the city gate.

I’ll wait for you there.

All right.

Young Master,

if you go with Her Grace,

you’ll be easily noticed.

Also, she has a husband now.

You’d better let her go.

I can’t run away myself

and leave her alone.

I’ve got the pass.

We can get out of town tomorrow.

What happened?

You’re feeling unhappy?

Or,

are you feeling disgraced

because I’ve done something you can’t?

In front of death,

what’s the point of caring for disgrace?

I just have something important to do

and I can’t leave for the moment.

When I find Dongzhi tomorrow,

please leave with her and Baoning.

Don’t wait for me.

What’s so important?

The death of my mother

and the extermination of my clan.

Does...?

Does Baoning know that?

She doesn’t need to know.

Tomorrow,

I’ll leave Baoning to you.

If she’s in danger,

I’ll fight it out with you.

Even if you don’t leave her to me,

I’ll also take good care of her.

Mm.

When I march troops to Mu’an,

within three months,

I can get what I want.

Your Highness, you’re powerful.

You’re blessed by Heaven.

Report.

Your Highness,

there’s news from the Palace

that His Majesty is getting worse.

I’m afraid he’s dying.

When is he not dying?

But the situation is different this time.

His Majesty summoned the Second Prince back to Yunyang.

Your Highness,

is His Majesty going to pass the throne

to the Second Prince?

Never!

Come, please.

So many dishes?

You made them?

No, I didn’t.

I bought them with my pay of the first month.

You’re so skilled in mechanism,

but you can’t cook?

I can’t cook.

But I can make other things

with my skillful hands.

It’s always clever of you.

Master,

this is the drawing you asked me to make the other day.

You’re leaving?

Why did you know everything?

You got so many dishes early this morning.

And you gave me the drawing

without going to the Weapon Battalion.

Isn’t that obvious?

Master,

when I’ve been in Yunyang,

thank you for taking care of me.

Later,

if you come to Mu’an,

I’ll repay you.

Forget it.

The two states are at war.

If I’m in Mu’an,

I’ll be invading or be captured.

Neither is a good thing.

We’d better not meet again.

No civilians want a war.

So, the war will be over soon.

By then,

Yongqing people can go to Mu’an

to exchange their goods for silk and tea.

Mu’an people can also come to Yongqing

for horses and porcelain.

Master, when you hunt rabbits,

you can exchange them for eggs as you did before.

Hope the day will come.

It will come.

Sir.

Excuse me.

Do you know a businessman named Qing An?

He’s a big businessman.

I certainly know him.

That’s good.

Do you know where he lives?

I’ve got some emergency to tell him.

Walk along this road

Ironware Shop and you’ll see an ironware shop.

He often makes deals there.

He hasn’t come yet.

Looks like he won’t come today.

An.

Come over.

An?

Can he be Qing An?

Tell me. What did you come for?

You have to go back this time.

His Majesty is getting worse.

He can’t even move out of bed these days.

Nonsense!

When was Father so badly sick?

I don’t dare to talk nonsense.

His Majesty urged you

to go back, no matter what,

and see him for the last time.

Ironware Shop

Your Highness!

He looks stealthy.

I’ll follow up and see.

Thought

What’s wrong with Li Qian?

If he’s too late,

no one can get out of town.

Baoning, how about this?

Let me take you away first.

Then let’s try to get them out.

No way.

I won’t leave without Li Qian.

Baoning, let me tell you the truth.

Li Qian said he would check on the man who killed her mother

and asked me to leave with you and his sister.

But Dongdong hasn’t come back yet.

Wait.

You’re not familiar with this place.

Where can you find them?

I’m indeed not familiar.

But my master is.

I’ll go look for him.

How long does it take

to go to and come back from the Weapon Battalion?

Time is running out already.

But what I want now

is to keep Li Qian safe,

instead of getting out of town!

But I want to keep you safe!

Young Master,

thank you for your concern.

But this is my business with Li Qian.

Don’t waste your time

on us.

If we can’t make it back,

get out of town without us.

We’ll meet you in Mu’an.

Baoning,

I’ll go with you.

No way.

You’ve done enough for me.

If you still want to help me,

go find your subordinates.

If we can catch up,

we’ll leave with you.

But...

Baoning, you promised that.

You must come back!

I’ll be waiting for you!

Master.

Aning?

Haven’t you left yet?

I have something important to ask you.

Master,

have you seen a flag

or ornament with this pattern?

How do you know the flag of the King’s maternal clan?

Who?

This is the clan flag of the King’s maternal clan.

When he was a prince,

he used this flag.

After he became the King,

his maternal clan was incorporated into the imperial clan.

This flag was no longer used, then.

Over so many years,

few people have seen this pattern again.

Where did you see it?

It was the King of Yongqing?

What’s wrong?

Master, you must help me!

Please save my husband!

What happened?

Young Master,

you’ve come at last.

Let’s go meet the others.

Wait.

She hasn’t come yet.

Young Master, we can no longer wait.

I know how far to go.

Baoning, do come!

Screwed.

He must have tracked it down to the Imperial Palace.

I’m going to see His Majesty.

Hope it’s not too late

before your husband makes a big mistake.

I’ll go with you!

Looks like he has a high status in Yongqing.

Qing Tai has taken away most of the troops.

It’s not hard to sneak in, I guess.

Your Majesty.

An?

It’s me.

The unfilial son you used to criticize.

Didn’t you refuse to see me

because you hated me

for being a low-class businessman

instead of a prince?

Son,

I’m dying.

Before I die,

I want to see you again.

Qin Yu?

Qin Yu!

You look so much like your mother.

My heart hurts every time I see you.

When you were little,

I couldn’t often accompany you.

I...

An, what brings you here?

Come on. Sit down.

Your brother beat you again?

What a bad brother!

It doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t.

No.

I couldn’t be too nice to you.

If I die someday,

what will you do, then?

Father.

Be seated.

I saw your decoction spilled.

I’ll go make some for you.

Don’t leave.

Father, I’ll be right back.

Who are you?

Tell me.

Is this your flag?

Yes.

That’s the flag of my maternal clan.

You’re the King,

but you burned a village on the border.

And you slaughtered innocent people.

How can you be the King?

You can’t even be a human.

Burned a village and killed people?

I’ve never done that.

Shall I remind you?

The Li Village on the border 20 years ago.

When I was young, I often went hunting on the border.

I indeed went to the Li Village.

But...!

When you went there with your troops,

the fire had been burning for a day and night.

People from 80 years old

to less than one year old

were massacred by you.

When you left with your men,

my father saw

this flag you were using!

20 years ago?

The Li Village?

Fire?

Don’t pretend you don’t know!

After all these years, I finally found you.

Even if you’re the King of Yongqing,

I’ll use your blood

to sacrifice for my dead mother and innocent people!

Zhenning Gate

Wait.

You mustn’t break through the palace gate.

Master, what’s this?

It’s the pass His Majesty gave me.

Li Qian,

don’t hurt my father!

You know me?

Good.

You knew who I am

and then you approached my sister deliberately?

I’m sincere to Dongzhi.

I have no other intention.

If you’re dissatisfied with me for that,

fight me.

My father is innocent.

Now that he’s your father, he’s certainly related!

20 years ago,

your father killed my mother and my whole clan.

20 years later,

you spared no effort

to get close to my sister for your state!

Today,

neither of you can leave alive!

Son!

Don’t kill him!

Stop fighting!

There’s some misunderstanding.

It’s not the King of Yongqing.

Sir, get out of my way!

I know you’re local

and you saved my life.

But this is a different thing.

I must take revenge today!

Li Qian,

put your sword down.

Master knew what happened 20 years ago.

On that day 20 years ago,

Master went to the Li Village with the King.

Precisely.

20 years ago,

when the Li Village was on fire,

His Majesty was there.

However, someone else set fire and massacred the village.

His Majesty didn’t kill anyone.

Instead, he saved someone.

Your Highness,

the village of Mu’an is on fire.

Your Highness,

shall we go have a look?

This is the border of two states.

We can’t make trouble.

Everybody, leave.

Yes.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Later,

His Majesty sent me to the Li Village

and check if anyone else was alive

and looked for families for Princely Lady.

When I arrived at the Li Village,

it was already a heap of rubble.

When the King of Yongqing got there,

the Li Village was on fire

and that lady was hunted down.

Anyway, someone else is the murderer!

Zhenning Gate

Your Highness,

unless you’re summoned,

you can’t get in with soldiers.

When the lady from Mu’an

was saved by His Majesty,

she didn’t wake up from a coma until three months later.

Because her head was hit,

she didn’t remember anything.

His Majesty then gave her

a new name of Yongqing, Qin Yu.

Later, she became an imperial concubine

and gave birth to the Second Prince.

Unfortunately,

more than ten years ago,

she left Yongqing.

I know you can hardly accept it.

But what we have to do now

is to get back to Mu’an and find out the truth.

Good. Very good.

I had planned to arrest Qing An only.

Thanks to Heaven,

Commandery Princess Jia’nan and Li Qian are here, too.

Thank you

for seeking your doom.

Son,

what are you doing?

Father,

don’t be angry.

I know

you only care for that woman and her son.

When you’re dying, you even want to pass the throne to him.

But I always respect you, Father.

I heard that Qing An wanted to kill you.

Then I gave up the great chance to go south

and came back to save you.

What a traitor!

What nonsense are you talking about?

I’m talking nonsense?

Qing An and his helpers

are right in front of you.

They’re doing the self-injury

to win your trust

and cheat you of your throne

before they kill you.

You!

Qing Tai, don’t sling mud at us!

He’s making use of us

to frame Qing An up.

Even without us,

he’ll kill Qing An, too.

I’ll find a chance

and take you away.

All right.

Today,

none of you can leave.

Tai,

you and An are both my sons.

Don’t hurt each other!

Hurt each other?

Now you know I’m your son?

When I was little, you pretended you cared for me.

But you taught him horse-riding and archery secretly.

You think I don’t know?

My mother

is your Empress!

But you’ve never looked her in the eye.

Now you’re dying

and you’ll pass the throne to him!

At this time,

why don’t you remember I’m also your son?

But it doesn’t matter.

If I want something,

I get it myself.

The throne is mine.

The state is mine.

And even the world will be mine!

You!

As for Qing An,

now that you like him so much,

I’ll kill him first

so that he can wait for you in hell.

You!

What a traitor!

Father.

Your Majesty.

Father.

Take them down!

Use this.

Go.

Father!

Your Highness!

- Father! - Go!

Father.

Go after them!

Quickly!

- Quickly! - After them!

Quickly.

Keep running.

You’ll have nowhere to escape.

Go!

Kill them all!

Pull the arrow out.

Look how desperately you fight.

Li Qian,

you were strong and proud.

But now you’re nearly dying.

How can you still fight me?

Kill him.

Your Grace, take Li Qian away.

I’ll bring up the rear.

Qing An, Dongzhi hasn’t been back.

You must find her!

Go.

Young Master,

we must leave, or it’ll be too late.

Shut up!

Leave without me if you want.

Young Master,

your father is waiting for you at home.

I said, shut up!

I promised to wait for her.

I won’t leave until she comes.

Quickly!

After them!

Hang in there.

Li Qian!

Go.

Go.

After them!

Quickly!

Shoot.

No fire

Oil

Your Highness,

we’ve besieged them.

Screwed.

They’re setting off a signal.

Your Highness,

the Second Prince is your biggest concern.

Don’t worry.

I shot him.

He can’t escape.

Some of you stay and besiege the yard.

The rest go after Qing An with me.

Yes!
