[Pretty Guardian of the City]

[Episode 26]

He must be executed.

How can we let him live?

We can't kill him.

-Kill him. -Don't kill him.

How can we kill him?

That's outrageous.

Kill him!

No!

We can't kill him.

Everyone.

I have something to say.

Master's blood

has woken Jiang Chaoxi up.

It means

his parentage is yet to be confirmed.

I suggest we investigate this case thoroughly.

We must not take an impostor as Master's heir,

but we shouldn't wrong a true heir either.

That's right.

Right.

Xiao Huasheng admitted

that Jiang Chaoxi is the son of a commoner.

There's nothing to be investigated.

Only by killing him

can we warn those of his lot.

Yes.

That's right.

We should warn them.

He should be killed.

We can't kill the innocent.

Master,

I know you're in a dilemma.

I also know the law makes no exception for anyone.

But you and Young Master

have been father and son for 20 years.

I should not ask this

but can you really bring yourself

to execute Young Master?

You're not a cold-hearted man.

Please spare Young Master.

I've told the Chairman to investigate this case thoroughly.

I need more time to think about it.

Thank you, Master.

Thank you, Master.

Thank you, Master.

Thank you, Master.

Are you sure about it?

It depends on

whether Master still

cares about Young Master.

I've asked the eldest daughter

of the Jiang family for help.

But your body...

Yunxi,

our top priority

is to find Fengchi as soon as possible.

Trust me.

Even if Master

hardens his heart to Young Master,

I will risk my life to save Young Master

and escort you two out of here.

You can't delay

the search for Fengchi any longer.

You and Mr. Chu

should set off immediately.

Qing,

stop worrying about me.

How about you and Fengyi?

Since you are so worried,

go find her.

She doesn't need me.

But you need her.

If you didn't love her,

you wouldn't be so worried.

I care for her

because she was such a good and kind friend to us

and helped us a lot.

I simply want to return the favor.

That's all?

I don't want you

to repeat my mistake.

I and Young Master went through so much

and wasted a lot of time

before we finally realized what each other meant to us.

Qing,

thank you

for taking care of me all this time.

Now is the time for you

to be there for the one you care about the most.

Or you'll regret it

when it's too late.

Miss Yunxi,

Miss Jiang sent a word to you.

Miss, let me do it. Take a rest.

There are so many chamber pots.

I can't let you brush them

all by yourself.

Even I have never

done such chores before,

let alone you.

We're asked to brush chamber pots every day.

The smell is horrible

and our hands are ruined.

You should have left with Guard Tang.

Don't mention

that ungrateful man.

He promised to save me,

but so many days passed

and he's nowhere to be seen.

How could you speak ill of me behind my back?

What are you doing here?

I came to take you away.

I told you.

I don't need you

to pity me.

I won't go with you.

Life sucks!

Even the chamber pots are giving me a hard time as well.

Fengyi.

I'm sorry for what I did.

Can you come with me this time?

No.

Since you only care about Yunxi,

I don't want you

to pity me.

Fengyi,

it's not because of Yunxi that I want to save you,

nor it's because I pity you.

It's because I…

♫The longing is mysterious like misty rain♫

Because I...

I like you.

♫Her tenderness stirs up deep and ceaseless affection♫

W-What did you say?

♫The oath is about to be spoken but stopped♫

Fengyi,

♫Afraid that the dream will shatter♫

I like you.

You like me?

♫It’s hard to rewrite the ending even after half a lifetime of repentance♫

You...

When did you realize that?

Why do you like me?

What do you see in me?

♫We meet in the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus as the rain knocks♫

I just like you.

There's no reason.

♫Smiling under the umbrella brings back the longing again♫

But

if you want the answer,

♫The one with desire can’t help that the other does not reciprocate♫

give me a chance

to think about it.

I'll tell you in the future.

♫Heartbreaking zither music fills my dream for the rest of my life♫

♫There is no cure for romantic longing that causes inconsolable heartache♫

Tang Qing.

♫Clearly interested but biased against the one with desire♫

What's wrong?

I stink.

♫We meet in the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus as the rain knocks♫

♫Smiling under the umbrella brings back the longing again♫

♫The one with desire can’t help that the other does not reciprocate♫

Silly.

♫Heartbreaking zither music fills my dream for the rest of my life♫

♫There is no cure for romantic longing that causes inconsolable heartache♫

Don't let me down again.

I won't.

♫Clearly interested but biased against the one with desire♫

Careful.

Here.

It should be here.

Here?

But there's nothing here.

Let's split up.

Let's go.

This place looks normal.

Nothing special.

Have we made a mistake?

The Swing Painting led us here.

Fengchi must be here.

Let's look more carefully.

Come here.

There's a flower here.

Look.

How is it?

No response.

How about this?

Let's hack it open

and see what's inside.

Don't be so violent.

Since the white jade comb is the key,

we just need to find

a keyhole on it.

Let's try again.

How is it possible?

Did we make a mistake?

Let's hack it open.

Fusheng,

it's a mechanism designed by my brother,

so it must be

much more complicated than we think.

Not necessarily.

When he hid Fengchi,

you were just a little girl.

He must have considered

the possibility

that you were not smart enough

to find what he hid.

My brother is so smart.

As his sister,

I can only be smarter than him.

-It opened. -It opened.

Here it is.

Girl,

eat it.

Fusheng.

Your brother must want you

to eat Fengchi.

After all, his biggest wish

is that you can

live a safe and healthy life.

But Brother also needs

to take Fengchi to survive.

I want him to wake up more than you do.

But I don't want

to do anything against his will.

Otherwise, even if he wakes up,

he won't forgive me

or forgive himself.

Don't forget

that Jiang Chaoxi is waiting for you

in Cangyue City.

Do you want him

to spend the rest of his life

missing having you by his side?

We all

wish you

to live a long and happy life.

Yunxi,

Mr. Chu is right.

I'm sure your brother

would want you to be the one

who survives.

I see.

Now I can say I'm worth

your brother's trust and fulfilled his wish.

Girl,

you're in the clear now.

Can I take your brother

to visit doctors all around the world?

Maybe someone

has a way to cure him.

Fusheng,

my brother is very lucky

to have a good friend like you.

I thank you on his behalf.

Before I leave,

can I

say goodbye to him alone?

Sure.

Brother, I'm sorry.

Don't worry, Brother.

In a few days,

Father will let you out.

At the end of my life,

I can't help but think of

things that I could've done better.

But at the thought

that the person I care about the most

is safe and sound now,

I feel content.

Xiao Huasheng has been executed.

It's a pity that my mother couldn't see it.

Chuxian,

promise me to watch out for Cangyue City

and protect the people.

-Tell Yunxi… -Jiang Chaoxi!

Young Master.

Jiang Chaoxi

is indeed

Master's son.

His mother is Lady Jing.

I just started working in the Planning Department

when Father sent me

to repair Jingxin House.

I met Lady Jing there

when she just had a difficult labor.

Lady Jing.

Mr. Luo.

Lady Jing said the child's father was Master.

I intended to bring the child to Master

but she stopped me.

She was so disappointed in the Jiang family

that she begged me

to give her son to an ordinary family

so he could live a peaceful life.

Later, I secretly brought the baby out of the Master's Mansion

during the transportation of lumber.

I wanted to give him away

as Lady Jing wished,

but my father accidentally found out

that Her Ladyship

gave birth to a stillborn baby

and Commander Xiao planned

to randomly pick a newborn baby to take its place.

To make sure that your heir

had your blood,

we had no choice but to swap Lady Jing's son

with the baby Commander Xiao had picked.

I thought

I'd bring this secret

to my grave.

But six years later,

my father was framed and put into prison

because he exposed

Commander Xiao's embezzlement.

His life was in danger.

I couldn't think of a better solution

and attempted to use this secret

to threaten Commander Xiao

to release my father.

Unexpectedly,

Xiao Huasheng was so vicious

that he used poison

to kill the whole Luo family

and made it look like

we committed suicide in fear of punishment.

Mother.

Mother!

Mother.

I was too concerned

about the negotiation with Xiao Huasheng

and couldn't eat or sleep well.

So I didn't eat the poisoned food

and survived.

But my mother who was about to give birth

wasn't so lucky.

And my sister

was poisoned

before she was even born

and had been suffering her whole life.

Master,

every word I said is true.

Jiang Chaoxi

is indeed

your son.

Xi'er is really my son.

Xi'er is really my son.

Xi'er is really my son.

Master.

Master!

Master!

Father.

Xi'er.

Xi'er.

Father.

Father, don't worry.

You will be fine.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Now that you've come back,

I'm fine.

Xi'er.

I'm sorry

for what happened these days.

I always know

you care about me.

I don't blame you at all.

You're broad-minded.

You are indeed my son.

You're talented.

I'm relieved

to leave Cangyue City to you.

Father.

I know

you care about me

and tried your best to train me.

My gratitude is beyond words.

However,

I don't aspire to rule Cangyue City.

To me,

being loved by you

and having the girl I love by my side

makes me happier

than power ever could've made me.

So my third brother

is more suitable than me to rule the city.

I've been thinking these days

that I was wrong.

I'm not a qualified father.

Since you were young,

I've never really understood

what you two

wanted.

Forget it.

After going through so much,

I've figured it out.

As long as you two

can truly be happy,

it is more important than anything.

Let Xian'er ascend to the throne someday.

All right.

I'm tired.

You may leave.

Brother.

You must take good care of Father

and Cangyue.

Master of Cangyue.

♫I was once lonely, whose heart have I broken?♫

♫I pray for the chance to make it up♫

♫Time flies and everything changes♫

♫The mistake can never be fixed♫

♫Sorry that I failed to keep my promise♫

I thought

I would never see you again.

♫Count the sorrows, who help each other in straits with feeble strength?♫

You fool.

From now on,

I only belong to you.

♫There will be a pure place to expel the karma♫

♫Unexpectedly, not until the pomp ended♫

Why are you running around?

♫Can I understand the unforgettable feeling♫

Why did you decide on your own?

♫The hair has been grey, while the destiny can't be seen through♫

I saved you and Brother.

You are the most important two persons

in my life.

♫Luckily, my heart remains the same when all the flowers fall♫

You are more important to me than anything else.

♫I've been waiting for you for a thousand years♫

Trust me.

I will cure you.

♫Dream that we are on the old road we met♫

We'll be together forever.

♫See you gently play the zither♫

No matter how much time we have left,

♫Who are you waiting for to make you a pot of tea?♫

let's never be apart again.

I'll go in first.

Have a good chat with her.

Young Master, please wait.

Miss Nangong,

I'm no longer

the young master of Cangyue City.

Just call me Mr. Jiang.

What brought you here

today?

Actually,

I'm here to apologize to Yunxi.

But when I saw her,

I didn't know how to say it.

I...

Let bygones be bygones.

Yunxi and I

are ready to leave Cangyue City.

I hope we'll all be fine.

I thought

Yunxi could win your heart

just because she was lucky.

But now I understand

you are willing to die

for each other.

Your love is even stronger than gold.

I wish you a long and happy life

and stay safe.

Actually,

in Third Brother's heart,

you're always the most important person to him.

Now that he has become the legitimate heir,

he will share

the prosperity of Cangyue with you.

It will definitely be

a beautiful story.

Don't worry, Young Master.

I will do my duty

and do my best for Cangyue.

It's not a waste

of Grandpa's expectations and cultivation.

Thank you, Miss Nangong.

Brother.

You're back.

Where is Young Master?

Is he safe?

Brother, don't worry.

Master has allowed him

to give up his identity

and return to normal life.

That's good.

Good.

Brother.

Father has already been vindicated.

The culprit who framed our family

has also been punished.

You and I have reunited.

Everybody is happy.

Why do you still look so worried?

I just saw the flowers

blooming so brightly.

I thought

you were actually like that flower.

You're at the best age.

But in order to save me,

you don't have much time left now.

Yun'er.

You really shouldn't have saved me.

Brother.

Don't say that.

Actually,

I gave you Fengchi

for my own selfish purpose.

After you wake up,

you can save the one I love.

Stop comforting me.

I know

you and I

are the same.

We all want to exchange our lives

for each other's life,

but we haven't considered each other's feelings.

Yun'er.

Do you know

that I will spend the rest of my life

in the torture of my heart?

Brother.

Just think of me as selfish.

At this point,

I will never

watch you die.

I'll leave tomorrow

to find the antidote

with Fusheng.

You must hold on until I come back.

Brother.

I have someone I love,

you

and Brother Fusheng

and everyone's care.

I'm already satisfied.

I don't want to live long.

I just want to spend

my last days

with Jiang Chaoxi.

Even if the days

are the most ordinary ones,

I have no regrets.

[Cangyue City]

Yunxi,

when I come back,

I will find

the antidote for you.

Brother! Brother Fusheng!

Take care!

Young Master.

No.

Brother-in-law.

Take good care of Yunxi.

Otherwise, we two brothers

won't let you go.

Don't worry.

We'll leave now.

Take care.

Take care.

Yunxi,

we should go.

From now on,

please take care of

Wuyan and my father.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Here.

Yunxi is leaving.

Let's say goodbye to her.

Yunxi.

Sister.

Alright.

You're not a kid anymore.

Don't cry.

In the future, you should take care of not only yourself,

but also Fengyi.

By the way,

remember to visit Uncle Jin

in Futian Institution.

I will.

You must come back soon.

We will all be here

waiting to reunite with you.

Yunxi,

this is the pancake I just learned to make.

It doesn't look good,

but it tastes good.

Take it

and the food inside along the way.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Take care.

Yunxi,

take good care of yourself.

Find the antidote soon.

We'll wait for you to come back.

Cousin.

Take good care of Yunxi.

Let's go.

Thank you.

We'll wait for you to come back.

Take care of yourself.

Yunxi.

Look.

I made it myself.

Try it.

Is it good?

Yes, it's sweet.

Wait.

I forgot to add sugar.

You said it was sweet even though it didn't taste good.

Everything you make

is sweet.

Don't be perfunctory.

Because I'm with you,

the days are sweet,

my heart is sweet.

and the food is also sweet.

When did you learn

to be so glib-tongued?

How is that glib-tongued?

It's just sweet words.

Really?

I'll try it again.

You're really sweet.

What?

Are you not feeling well again?

It's okay.

I just want you to hug me.

The weather is nice these days.

Take me out for a walk.

So

it's so nice

to spend such ordinary days

with you.

I wish

I had met you earlier.

Jiang Chaoxi.

When did you fall in love with me?

Maybe the first time I met you,

I had you in my heart.

But if you ask me when I fell in love with you,

♫I like to be behind you♫

I can't explain.

I can only say

♫Even the night breeze becomes gentle♫

when I was with you,

you somehow

lived into my heart

and occupied it.

Every time my heart beats,

♫I feel so happy♫

I'll miss you and love you.

What about you?

♫Time seems to have stopped♫

When did you fall in love with me?

Every time

you appear in front of me,

I fall in love with you.

Every day from now on,

♫I wish to hold your hand♫

I will always appear in front of you

and watch sunrise and sunset with you.

Then you can love me

all the time.

♫Till the end of the day♫

You're so greedy.

♫But I can't escape from fate♫

Wuyan has sent the letter again.

He said

Third Brother had ascended to be the new Master

and had proclaimed a general amnesty.

♫In the end, we will part♫

Fengyi and Tang Qing

are going to have a baby.

When the baby is born,

they hope we can visit them.

♫Can we just keep quiet♫

It's nice.

♫And enjoy the scenery♫

They finally got

what they wanted.

♫It is better than any expression of words♫

Qing and Fengyi's child

must be very cute.

♫Can we just keep quiet♫

♫And keep it in our memory♫

I'll take you to see them

when Brother detoxifies you.

♫Let's preserve the most beautiful moment♫

Jiang Chaoxi, I want to sleep.

Yunxi.

♫Can we just keep quiet♫

You must live well.

♫And enjoy the scenery♫

I don't allow you

to leave me alone.

♫It is better than any expression of words♫

I don't allow it.

Yunxi.

♫Can we just keep quiet♫

Yunxi.

♫And keep it in our memory♫

I'm here.

Why are you nervous?

♫Let's preserve the most beautiful moment♫
