[Cry Me A River of Stars]

[Ep20]

- She jumped. - She jumped.

Is she really the offspring of the high priest?

Don't jump to conclusions.

The acting high priest jumped, too!

She is such an excellent swimmer!

Which one of them do you think will find the God of Water symbol?

It's hard to say.

If anything happens down there,

what should we do?

Yeah.

We can only hope not.

How long has it been?

It's been an hour.

It's been so long.

Why are they not coming up yet?

I'm so nervous!

What should we do?

Should we send someone to save them?

My lord, should we do anything?

It's Fan! Fan is coming up!

What happened to her?

I'm wondering, too.

Me, too.

Are you okay?

Could the God of Water symbol be fake?

- She found it. - The God of Water symbol!

She is the daughter of the high priest!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

The God of Water

protected our high priest!

The God of Water protected our high priest!

[Arsenal, Midland]

Ma'am.

Why should we come to the arsenal?

Azureland lacks weapons,

so we can't compete with anyone.

We must grow stronger

to not be invaded by foreign enemies.

We do not advocate war,

but we must never fear war.

Go.

Go.

[Arsenal]

Our target is the weapon.

Take it and go.

Start.

Who? What are you...

Retreat, now!

Leave!

Don't come over!

Go!

Tell his lordship!

Yes.

- Chase them! - Chase them!

Hurry!

[South Island, Midland]

Hurry up. Don't dawdle.

- Hurry. Hurry. Hurry. - Hurry.

Don't dawdle.

Don't be lazy. Move faster!

You want to be beaten?

Faster!

Move it! Move it! Move it!

You! Over there!

Help!

Wha...

Don't be afraid. I'm here to save you.

Gather everyone. I will take you home.

This is the high priest.

OK.

Guys!

The high priest is here to save us!

Let's go!

Everybody. Leave!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Thank you, Ma'am.

Thank you for saving us.

Thank you.

Let me take you home.

OK.

Fan.

Stop it.

No matter what you are doing now

will only cause more disputes between the two countries.

Even if I don't do this,

will Midland leave us alone?

Yunzhi.

Yunzhi.

What are you doing here?

Yunzhi.

Are you alright?

You don't have to come to South Island just for a riot.

It's dangerous. Let's go home.

Let go.

Ma'am.

What are you doing with this heartless man?

Let's kill our way out!

You're right.

Kill our way out.

Let's go home.

Protect your lady.

My lady. This way.

♫ The sun of spring melts the ice ♫

♫Yet your determination remains untouched♫

♫Is love always an illusion♫

♫A question I can never answer♫

♫All I can do is wake myself up from this dream♫

Go.

♫Love is never easy♫

Go.

♫With us miles apart♫

♫I lock my heart in a cocoon♫

♫One will never become a butterfly♫

♫Love is never easy♫

♫But we are never apart♫

♫My tears are falling like snow♫

♫Burying my memory deep down♫

Yunzhi!

[Lian Mansion]

Night attack on South Island and the arsenal.

Why didn't you discuss

such a big matter with me?

Do you know that I was scared to death

when I got the news?

Don't hold everything in your heart.

What were you thinking?

What did you want to do?

I wanted to see him.

What did you say?

I said,

I wanted to meet Tao Junran.

You still can't get him out of your head.

I can't.

I will take you to see him.

Thank you.

I just can't see you sad.

Yunzhi.

You know what?

Scenes like this

have only appeared in my dreams.

I made you wait for too long.

The doctor said your wound is still not healed.

Should we go home?

I'm fine.

Nice weather today.

It's good to feel the breeze.

For me,

as long as I can be with you,

it's always good weather.

I'm grateful that you like me sincerely.

But now, his majesty is disappointed with me

and will never put me in an important position again.

In the future,

I'll have nothing but an empty title.

Yunzhi.

Why do you think so?

I know what you can do

better than anyone else.

Now is just time for you to recover your strength.

It won't be long

before you move up the career ladder.

It's true!

There are some things I can't say to you clearly.

My brother already has many followers

and a well thought out plan.

Once the plan is successful,

with my brother's love for me,

he will certainly let you be reinstated,

or even to a higher level.

You are saying...

Yunzhi.

Just rest assured.

The plan is foolproof.

It can't go wrong.

As a general,

I have to bear the humiliation for the country to eradicate the traitors,

even if I have to let down my beloved ones.

There are no two ways about it.

I don't know if Fan can ever forgive me

after all the dust has settled.

Fan.

The people around you

have been lured away by my men.

What do you want?

You don't have to be so guarded,

I just want to talk to you nicely.

I have nothing to talk about with you.

We shouldn't be like what we are today.

Sister.

What did you call me?

Why do you have this?

Everyone knows that the King of Westland

and the high priest of Azureland have offspring.

What they don't know

is that when Midland was at war with Westland,

the queen of Westland has already had a son.

Mother.

Where are you?

Mother, where are you?

Yu.

Yu.

Your father is dead.

We can't go back home.

Now you only live for

restoring Westland one day.

My mother was the queen of Westland.

In order to escape from the hunt of Midlanders,

we became refugees when I was young.

Who are you?

Until one day,

- the head of the Yun family in Midland - My lord, I found a woman and her son.

fell in love with my mother at first sight.

And he took me into his house as well.

If Midland hadn't been afraid of

of Westland's national strength,

and hadn't put

the label of tyranny on our father,

my mother would not have been lost on the battlefield

and you would not have left us.

Sister

You and I are connected by blood.

When I am in charge of Midland,

the people of Azureland

will stand in the sunlight again.

Your mother,

the former high priest Xiahou Yuyuan,

hid a city defense map of Midland

under the waters of the Azureland

after the country was broken.

The lake is deep and dangerous.

But rumor has it that

only the offspring of the high priest

can dive to the bottom of it.

Fan.

Put aside the fake love and join hands with me.

We must make the Midland imperial family

pay for what they have done.

OK. I will help you.

You are a good sister.

[Azureland]

Do you believe what he said?

No matter what he said is true or false,

once we get the map,

the initiative is in our hands.

But when you succeeded the high priest,

you had dived for so long without finding it.

What if he was lying to you?

It's just soaking in the water for a bit longer.

Be careful.

[City Defense Map]

[To my child]

Fan.

Be careful.

You're injured.

Does it hurt?

The city defense map was taken away.

Is there really a map?

Did the imperial court take it?

Tao Junran did.

Let's go home.

[Yun Mansion]

[Yun Mansion, Capital, Midland]

Isn't she your old sweetheart?

What?

She can't recognize you with a mask?

Just take what you asked for

and mind your own business.

Well,

how can it not be my business?

You are my brother-in-law.

I have to test you for my sister.

I invite you all to come here today

to show you something.

What thing?

[Prime Minister Zhang]

Jiayu.

What do you mean by that?

What?

The city defense map.

We have been preparing for so long.

Finally, we are at the final step.

But...

What?

Are you afraid?

As the saying goes, to be in the king's company is tantamount to living with a tiger.

Although the emperor has set up many spies around me,

in order to help Lord Yun achieve the great cause,

I never hesitate,

not to mention fear.

Good.

That is Prime Minister Zhang I know.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

We will do our best

to help you

achieve the great cause.

Yes.

Good!

[High Priest Mansion, Azureland]

Fan.

By the time you read this letter

you may have grown up.

Many years ago, your father, King Situ Tian of Westland

betrayed Midland

in order to confront Azureland.

Innocent people were hereby displaced

and families were destroyed.

After the defeat of Midland,

I was pregnant with you.

But Situ Tian

stole my power during my pregnancy.

To make up for my mistake,

I buried the vital city defense map of Midland

and this letter

at the bottom of the lake.

One day, you,

and only you, will be able to

get the city defense map of Midland yourself.

I hope

you will never let anyone else have it.

Fan.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

Tao Junran is Yun Jiayu's brother-in-law.

He snatched the city defense map

is a sign that Yun Jiayu doesn't trust you.

Whether Yun Jiayu trusts me or not,

the city defense map will eventually come to his hands.

It's just...

I don't know if it's a right thing

to cooperate with Yun Jiayu.

Won't you be happy that

Midland changed hands?

For so many years,

Azureland

has been living under the bullying of Midland.

If Yun Jiayu gets Midland,

maybe we can get rid of the control of Midland.

This is the letter my mother left me.

She said Azureland had never betrayed Midland.

She was deceived by my father

when she was young.

Everything is a deception of Westlanders.

How could this be?

Lian Qi.

Once the war begins,

it will be the people who suffer.

But Yun Jiayu has already got the city defense map.

Next,

he will definitely seek further cooperation with you.

So,

I will have to rely on the protection

by the governor.

Protecting you is the mission of my life,

as long as you allow me.

You are a good friend.

[Yun Mansion]

[Yun Mansion, Capital, Midland]

Take care, your highness.

Thank you, Lord Yun.

If you'll excuse us.

Yunzhi.

Yunzhi. What are you writing?

Just a few pieces of writing practice.

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

The old wound is open.

Let me see it.

It's fine.

I just applied medicine.

Then you should try

the bamboo shoots and mushroom soup I made for you.

This is good for wound healing.

You don't have to do this for me.

I don't deserve it.

You do.

I am just so happy

that you can stay by my side.

You got my brother the city defense map.

He was so happy

and called Prime Minister Zhang to discuss the plan.

It's what I should do.

[Yun Mansion]

Lord Yun.

Lord Liu.

Why are you here?

I'm here because of the city defense map.

The city defense map?

The map in your hand is a fake.

Fake?

That map is very well counterfeited,

but there are a few subtle differences

with the actual Imperial City.

I'm worried,

so I'm here to talk to you about it.

If something goes wrong,

we'll lose a lot of troops and time.

Thank you for your advice, Lord Liu.

I will investigate this thoroughly.

Then I'll wait for good news from you.

If there's nothing else, I'll leave you alone.

OK.

Go.

Bring me Tao Junran.

Tell him I need to see him.
