[Cry Me A River of Stars]

[Ep 23]

[Yun Mansion, Capital, Midland]

What am I?

Is it wrong to like you?

I'm willing to do anything for you.

Yet,

you've never paid any attention to me all these years.

In your heart,

it's always been Tao Junran.

Stop it.

You are nothing but a beggar my lord brought home from the street.

Who do you think you are?

How dare you stare at me?

You like to stare?

[Childhood Zhuo Jiqing]

Huh?

Don't you ever stare at me again!

What's going on?

Stop it.

[Childhood Yun He'an]

I'll give you a chance here.

Hit him. Do you dare to?

My lady, my lady.

Alright, okay. Enough.

This is yours now.

Lord Tao.

What is it?

My lady asked for your presence in the garden.

Okay. I'll get going.

[Done deal]

Sister Fan, you're awake!

Nanshang,

please do me a favor.

What is it, sister?

Please untie me.

High Priest, please don't place Nanshang in a difficult position.

Please don't.

Governor asked me to escort you home.

Fine. I promise you I'll go home,

but you need to untie me first.

Nanshang,

don't you remember how nice I was to you?

Aren't you even willing to do me such little favor?

What's more,

the carriage is moving.

I won't jump off and run off while it's moving.

Okay, I'll untie you.

Please don't run away.

Nanshang, keep an eye on High Priest.

My tummy hurts. I need to go.

Okay.

Zhuo Jiqing.

[Yun Mansion]

- My lord. - My lord.

High Priest.

Sister Fan.

This is wrong.

High Priest.

High Priest.

Why bother going through

all the trouble just to kill me?

You could have done that at the Yun's.

I could have.

And I want to do that a lot.

Tao Junran.

Do you understand how special

He'an means to me?

The way you stole the loved ones from others

is ugly and despicable.

There's not a single moment that I don't want to kill you.

But I can't.

If I do,

He'an will be heartbroken.

Instead, I want to

make it seem that you run away from the Yun family

and get killed by the Azurelanders.

You've seriously done a lot

to avoid making He'an sad.

What a pity.

She never thought about you differently.

Since you're asking for death,

I'll grant your wish.

Kill him.

Get him.

Hurry.

My lord.

My lord. Are you okay?

We can't stay together.

Let's split up.

Okay.

This way.

How convenient!

I'll kill you both at once.

Cao Qing,

where is Lord Tao?

He's with Lian Qi.

Lead me to them.

This way.

Lian Qi.

Tao Junran.

Lian Qi.

The two of you

will die together.

Zhuo Jiqing,

give up your life for the lost Azurelander lives.

Lian Qi.

Lian Qi.

Tao Junran.

Let go of my hand.

Impossible.

Let go.

Sister Fan.

Hold on tight.

Lian Qi, don't you dare to let go.

Fan, I told you to go home.

I want you to come home with me.

Fan.

I envy you.

Zhuo Jiqing, please let go.

We are people in the same boat now.

Since I entered your door,

I'm all yours.

As long as you're fine, everything's okay.

Don't worry. I'll take good care of you.

Fan.

She's in your care from now on.

Stop the nonsense. Come on up.

No.

No.

-Lian Qi. - Lian Qi.

Lian Qi.

I carved non-stop for three days and three nights.

One day,

I will present to you

everything that belongs to you.

No matter what happens,

We can face it together.

I will be

with you always and forever.

All I ever wanted is

that you can just look at me,

even if it's just a glance.

Fan,

thank you for showing up in my life.

I will never force you to return to Azureland anymore.

Finally, you can

do everything you would love to do.

♫ What the destiny held in store is unforeseeable as wind is untouchable ♫

♫ Not letting go ♫

- Sister Fan. - Fan.

♫ Concerns toward him ♫

♫ Where does it stand, the line between the truth and a lie? ♫

♫ The rain is falling ♫

♫ Yet we can't pick up the passing time ♫

♫ And the stories experienced and told in between ♫

My lord.

Come in.

Lord Zhuo is dead.

What did you say?

How about Tao Junran?

The assassination failed.

Failed?

Useless!

All useless!

-Get lost! - Right away.

Oh my goodness.

Who and what infuriated Lord Yun this much?

Eunuch Wang.

You should have informed me of your visit ahead of time.

The fewer people know

that I visited the better.

What's this?

You think Tao Junran is a push-over, don't you?

Had I not been well-prepared,

the tiger tally would get me killed.

[I confirm that Eunuch Wang was bought by Yun Jiayu and was involved in the stealing of tiger tally.]

I did not expect that

[Yun Jiayu has committed treason, please be cautious]

Tao Junran can send a message straight to the Emperor.

I will never forget

Eunuch Wang's great kindness,

Don't worry.

I've sent in a forged tiger tally instead.

Unless the Emperor himself examines it up close and carefully,

no one will find out it's a fake.

Lord Yun,

if you wait longer, there might be more trouble.

I can't stay here for long. I'll get going.

Let me see you off.

There's no need.

Never has an Emperor seen a eunuch off.

Please stay put.

My lord.

My lord.

Some soldiers retreated out of the city under the cover of the darkness.

It's time. Yun Jiayu is going to take action.

If the Emperor discovered that the tiger tally is lost,

he'll execute the plan as laid out in the mail.

Then Yu Jiayu won't have any chance to deploy the army.

My lord. What should we do?

How much army force can be at our service in the city?

How much?

Well...

Less than a hundred.

My lord.

Fan.

My lord.

I heard everything you just said.

If you need the arm forces,

we Azurelanders are willing to lend a hand.

Yu Jiayu wronged my tribe and people.

I must make him pay the price.

It's like lambs to the slaughter.

- You... - My lord.

I'll go with you.

No.

If you are in danger,

my hands will be tied when I'm at war with Yu Jiayu.

Fan,

don't make me worry.

[Yun Mansion]

Brother.

Why are you here?

Where's Yunzhi

What's this about?

Anyone out there?

Brother?

Watch Your Ladyship.

She's not allowed to leave your sight.

Brother.

Give up. It's not too late.

You're right on time.

It saved me trouble to go find you.

Yunzhi darling.

Go back.

This is the order from the Emperor to seize the traitor, Yun Jiayu.

Your mother destroyed my family.

And now you ruined my plan.

Fan,

what a great sister you are.

Give up now.

Yun Jiayu.

Father,

Jiayu is unfilial.

All my life,

I can't complete the mission to restore the glory of our country.

God won't help me.

God won't help me.

Brother.

[Imperial Edict]

This is the order from the Emperor.

Yun Jiayu was found to bribe the eunuch,

steal the tiger tally, and conspire treason

after a thorough investigation.

Traitor Yun Jiayu should be immediately seized.

If there's any objection,

kill the traitor on the spot.

Fan.

Fan.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

My lord.

This time,

you won't be able to leave me behind.

♫ 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 ♫

♫ Love is never easy ♫

♫ 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 ♫

Fan.

My lord.

♫ With us miles apart ♫

Fan.

♫ 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 ♫

[Fan, you may have grown up when you read this letter.]

[I feel very guilty for not being there for you.]

The King of Westland had his eye on Midland like a tiger watching his prey.

[Your father used me to divide Azureland while he allied with Midland]

[Azureland eventually attacked Midland and countless innocent Midlanders died]

He bewitched the High Priest of Azureland, Xiahou Yuyan.

The pregnant Xiahou Yuyan

fell deeply in love with the King of Westland.

Even though that was the case,

she never betrayed Midland.

Hence, she was imprisoned

and was out-thrown from her power.

Xiahou Yuyan didn't want her baby

to become a puppet to the power game.

While she was dying,

she entrusted her baby to

the ambassador Li Yu

who traveled between Azureland and Midland,

and kept the City Defense Map of Midland hidden well.

The Azurelanders not only contributed greatly to the Emperor's safety,

but also generously donated their blood

to save Midlanders during the plague.

It's time to vindicate.

Your Highness is wise.

This is the order from the Emperor.

The Azurelanders contributed greatly to the safety of the Emperor,

hereby granted amnesty and all are innocent and shall be released immediately.

The Azurelanders contributed greatly to the safety of the Emperor,

hereby granted amnesty and all are innocent and shall be released immediately.

Starting today, Azureland is permitted to rebuild.

I can finally return home.

♫ Spring arrives in the city behind me ♫

♫ You and I kiss and make up ♫

Lord Tao,

giving all your strength and power

to Lady Fan

can keep her alive,

but you

might fall ill as a result.

♫ We sit and watch the rising and falling of stars ♫

♫ And immerse ourselves in a wave of sparkles ♫

♫ Our gaze is locked ♫

♫ No one concerns the tears ♫

♫ For we only hear the voice exchanges between us ♫

♫ Neither right nor wrong is the answer ♫

♫ Happiness blankets ♫

♫ All the corners of the world ♫

♫ If the wind is a poem and cloud the pape ♫

♫ I will write about my life ♫

♫ In an entire chapter ♫

♫ In search of you ♫

♫ When the wind stops, nothing's lost ♫

♫ The heart flutters upon the arrival of spring ♫

♫ Through the turbulence of times ♫

♫ Before it settles ♫

♫ Waiting for spring to come ♫

♫ Only to sleep in the train of thought ♫

♫ Love and hatred are nothing but so ♫

♫ No one can replace you or me ♫

♫ We sit and watch the rising and falling of stars ♫

♫ And immerse ourselves in a wave of sparkles ♫

♫ Our gaze is locked ♫

♫ No one concerns the tears ♫

♫ For we only hear the voice exchanges between us ♫

♫ Neither right nor wrong is the answer ♫

♫ Happiness blankets ♫

♫ All the corners of the world ♫

[Cherry's Tomb]

My lord.

You.

What? Why?

What's your plan

going forward?

[Cherry's Tomb]

I plan to

bring Cherry

to see the world.

Go ahead.

About time you live for yourself.

My lord,

through the years,

thank you for the care.

From now on,

I won't be able to accompany you.

Please,

take good care of yourself.

Take care.

If you'll excuse me.

Go now.
