[SHINING Just for You]

[Episode 23]

Tang Yuan,

not only did you deceive us,

but you're also trying to sneak away.

Why are you doing so?

Master,

I still have several relatives in my hometown.

Although this is something unspeakable,

I still have to head back and tell them.

You and I are friends, after all.

Is there anything you cannot tell me?

Or Princess Xue,

is it because you cannot tell me

the plot devised by you and your father?

Tianying.

Your Highness!

It's my fault!

I couldn't control myself.

I fell for the eldest son of the Fan family.

Now, I'm pregnant.

I have no choice but to tell my family about it.

Your Highness,

please don't reveal

my true identity to him.

Yuan'er.

What are you doing?

Get up.

Ping,

Master might have misunderstood me.

Wuyou,

I should've told you

that Yuan'er and I were in love long ago.

However, I couldn't find the chance to do so.

Now,

I wish to take her with me.

Please allow me to do so.

Young Master,

we'll know whether she's speaking the truth

after we read the letter.

Wuyou,

must you do this?

It's a family letter. It'll be embarrassing if you read it now.

Wuyou,

please retain a sliver of dignity for us.

Master, you can read it if you like.

Since I've committed such a shameful act,

I should bear

the humiliation.

You guys can leave.

I won't force you to do anything.

But the letter...

You can rest at ease now, right?

Tang Yuan,

treat him well.

Master, thank you for being understanding.

Let's go.

Yuan'er,

what's the matter?

Ping,

I...

Is the content of the letter

not appropriate for me to read?

I only know

that you have many bitter reasons.

I know you have secrets

that you cannot tell me.

But it's fine.

Now,

you're the mother of my child.

I will give you a home.

I will love you

and respect you.

Lu, Qingsu is here.

We've been waiting for you.

Close the door.

Qingsu, what's wrong?

Ye,

Princess Lian sent us a letter.

The canal is in trouble.

The Tubo people were killed.

Qingzhan said

the culprits were seasoned.

They've already cleaned up the site.

In the end, he found an arrowhead

on one of their bodies.

It's an arrow used by the Snow Crane.

Snow...

Snow Crane?

Miss Ye,

are you here for Young Master?

That's right.

Sorry, but he's not around.

He's not around?

Where did he go?

He said he had something to attend to.

Sorry, but I have no idea.

Young Master instructed me

to tell you not to find him

without any emergencies in the future.

What does he mean by that?

Is he not willing to see me?

Or has he done something to let me down?

You must be joking.

I'm not.

Look at this.

I demand an explanation from him.

Miss Ye, you should head back first.

Fine.

I don't care when he comes back.

Tell him to see me immediately after that.

Did anything happen today?

Young Master.

This arrowhead belongs to us.

Our men left it in Yuezhou.

They picked it up.

Young Master,

I was negligent. Please punish me.

Was Ye here before?

Yes, Young Master.

Get up.

She'll find out eventually.

Young Master.

Ye, you wanted to see me?

Did your men assault

the Tubo people in Yuezhou?

That's right.

Why?

Once the canal in Ningzhou is completed,

the Chao Army can travel unobstructed.

For the sake of the Winged People in Ningzhou,

I cannot let them complete the canal.

If so, you should've discussed it with me first.

This is what I must do.

Did you get yourself involved with Fan Ruhui?

Do you know

that you're literally asking a tiger for its skin?

You're asking a tiger for its skin

by staying with Yu Xiuming.

You!

I'm the last descendant of the Yu family.

Reviving the Winged Clan is my duty and responsibility.

When I was in Yebei,

I've never cared about Ningzhou

or the Winged People.

I only had one person in my heart.

She was intelligent, beautiful, and gentle.

I could discard

and ignore everything for her.

Yi Wuyou, stop it.

The past me

was always staying by your side, like walking on thin ice.

As long as you wanted something,

I would do my best to help you get it.

But now, I've finally figured it out.

You won't care

no matter what I do.

I can only win your heart

by obtaining power.

Yu Xiuming has committed many sinful acts to get to where he is.

Don't tell me you're going to blame him.

How could that be the same?

I will obtain power.

I will also become the ruler of the world.

By then,

you will treat me just like

how you treat Yu Xiuming.

Fine.

You can chase after your power.

But don't use me as your excuse

when you want to rule the world!

♪May we find the right path in our next life♪

You...

♪Pulling out, leaving it be♪

♪The gap between us is hard to close♪

♪All thoughts are blasted♪

♪Who wishes to return with me?♪

♪If we fall apart in this lifetime♪

♪May we find the right path in our next life♪

Lu,

you should have some soup.

Tell me.

I had complete trust in him.

And now, he's betrayed me.

Lu, don't be disheartened.

Maybe

he had bitter reasons for doing so.

Slowly.

Yuan'er,

is this place okay for you?

This is a great place.

It's quiet and convenient.

I love it.

I'm glad that you love it.

From now on, we can lead

a happy life here.

Yuan'er,

I wonder if our child

is a girl or a boy.

If it's a boy,

I can teach him how to recite poems and draw paintings.

If it's a girl,

I'm sure she can inherit your excellent musical skills.

Music, weiqi, writings, paintings, poems, and so on,

are mere interests.

I just hope

that our child can lead a happy life

and stay away from the drama within the imperial court.

Ping,

I'm thirsty.

Stay here.

I'll make some tea for you.

Father?

What are you doing here?

What exactly are you thinking?

Do you truly wish to spend your life with the eldest son of the Fan family

in a tiny place like this?

Father, please don't worry.

I've never forgotten my duty of reviving the Xue family.

The situation in Tianqi is clear now.

Yu Linkong had joined hands with Fan Ruhui.

According to my knowledge,

they've already

eliminated the Tubo people in Yuezhou.

They'll join hands to go against the Emperor of Chao eventually.

After this child is born,

I will return to Ningzhou to assist you in military affairs, Father.

You must be careful.

Greetings,

Your Majesty.

I wonder why

you've summoned me today.

Have a seat.

Your Majesty, why are you in the mood

for glutinous dumplings today?

It's because

today is my true birthday.

When I was very young,

whenever it was my birthday,

my mother

would make me sweet glutinous dumplings.

Now, my mother is long gone.

But I will still have glutinous dumplings

on my birthday every year.

If so, Your Majesty, I wish

that your stable rule will last forever.

I already have that.

What I want

is to close the gap

between me and a certain person.

Bai Lu,

you should understand what I mean.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Scram!

Your Majesty, wake up!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, don't do it!

You're Yu Xiuming!

I'm Bai Lu!

You're the mighty Emperor of Chao!

Your Majesty?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty?

What is...

Your Majesty!

Wake up!

His Majesty's old ailment is acting up again.

Imperial Physician,

His Majesty has never

exhibited such symptoms before.

What's going on?

Please pardon my ineptitude.

Right now, I can't give His Majesty a clear diagnosis yet.

I still need to observe His Majesty's condition.

You may leave.

Yes, Your Highness.

Bai Lu,

were you beside His Majesty

when he was suffering from it?

That's right.

Why does he always suffer

whenever he's with you?

Sometimes, I don't know

whether letting you stay with His Majesty

is the right choice or not.

Your Highness,

I was also taken aback

when His Majesty was suffering from a relapse.

I was terrified too.

What do you mean by that?

You should treat him better.

His Majesty truly cherishes you.

He moved the boulders by himself

on Zhenxia Mountain because of you.

After that, he risked his life

to save you from the arcanist.

That's why his divine power dissipated

and he lost his immortality.

Don't you understand what it means?

I...

Your Highness, I don't understand what you're saying.

I shall take my leave.

Official Bai.

Official Bai.

Official Bai seems troubled by something.

Yeah.

Actually, His Majesty

is very concerned about your safety, Official Bai.

♪Flashing in the air♪

Your Majesty!

If you continue to expend your divine power like this,

your body won't be able to take it!

Your Majesty!

Even if I exhaust all of my divine power...

Your Majesty!

I have to get to her!

♪Just like a lost amber, waiting for you to pick it up♪

♪I was once the lonely moonlight♪

Go to hell!

♪That led a reclusive life♪

Your Majesty!

♪I've not been able to cry for a very long time, but I'm now shedding tears because for you♪

My leg is broken.

Yeah, as if.

I thought you would never get hurt?

It's not that I won't get hurt.

It's just that I recover faster than other people.

♪You're my ups and downs♪

♪A cold and lonely moonlight♪

♪That dissipates with the night breeze♪

♪I'm willing to lie in your arms♪

♪So, I was gazing♪

You're hurt?

It was because of my carelessness.

But your wounds

would heal immediately in the past.

Why isn't it healed yet?

I've sustained a serious wound because of you.

It would be my loss

if I didn't let you appreciate my scar of honor.

(He moved the boulders by himself)

(on Zhenxia Mountain because of you.)

(After that, he risked his life)

(to save you from the arcanist.)

(That's why his divine power dissipated)

(and he lost his immortality.)

♪I'll never forget the ups and downs I went through♪

Why is Official Bai crying?

I don't know.

♪I'm full of hope, waiting for you to drop by♪

Miss Ye.

Gu?

Do you need anything from me?

I have something to tell you.

I've pondered on it for a few days. I think I need to tell you about it.

Before leaving, Yun Wen told me

about the time-traveling passage.

Yun Wen said

the existence of the time-traveling passage itself

goes against the law of nature.

It costs an extreme amount

of celestial power to maintain it.

When one travels to the past through the time-traveling passage,

the celestial power within will cause

irreversible mental damage to the user.

Yun Wen even said

that as long as he is around,

you will never give up on returning to the past

to save Princess Rui.

However, history cannot be changed.

If you enter the time-traveling passage repeatedly,

your body won't be able to take it.

And, back then, His Majesty wasn't trying to destroy the time-traveling passage.

He went back in time

to save Princess Zhuyan on your behalf.

What did you say?

Right after you guys exited the time-traveling passage for the first time,

His Majesty inquired about the situation from Yun Wen

and told him not to tell anyone else.

It's a shame that it didn't work out the second time.

Worse, Truth Masters are not supposed to misuse the array of time.

Thus, His Majesty, who was blessed by the Truth Master,

suffered a backlash 100 times more than what normal people would suffer.

Miss Ye.

Gu, please stop.

Miss Ye?

(So, it doesn't matter if I can reverse time.)

(Fate remains unchanged.)

(Rui will still leave me.)

Where are you going?

I'm going to do what I need to do.

I've been staying in Tianqi for too long.

If so,

I won't keep you here.

But if you encounter any obstacles

or wish to come back,

you can come back anytime.

Bai Lu,

you should take care of yourself too.

If one day, you need to save someone,

you can try using this method.

His Majesty hasn't woken up yet.

I know.

Your Majesty.

What medicine

have you fed me?

It's nothing.

You are not

allowed to do this ever again.

Your Majesty, do you feel better now?

Did I scare you

back then?

Your Majesty,

did something happen to your celestial power?

It's the Truth Masters.

Your Majesty, what did they do to you?

They did nothing to me.

I've accepted the power granted by the Divine Mirror.

That's why I become extraordinary.

But I don't know

what exactly has happened to me.

Was it because of the time-traveling passage?

No idea.

However, this isn't my first time exhibiting such symptoms.

But this time, it's worse.

Your Majesty,

do you regret

accepting the Divine Mirror's power?

I don't.

Besides,

it's pointless to regret it.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

What are you doing here?

Your Majesty, I wish to be your concubine and serve you.

I won't allow it.

You're the woman I love.

I should tell you that instead.

I don't need you to serve me.

And I don't just want you to be my woman.

I want you

to be my empress.

I want you to be the Empress of Chao.

Why?

Are you going to reject me again?

♪Turn the skies into the palace under the plaque♪

No.

Why would I reject Your Majesty?

All women in the world

desire to be your empress.

But Your Majesty, I want to ask you something.

What do you like about me?

♪Through several lives and reincarnations♪

♪I search the world for wisdom♪

You look ordinary.

You have a bad temper.

And you say you hate me from time to time.

However, you're just like me.

Isn't that good?

Your Majesty is a wise ruler unlike anyone has ever seen.

You never lose in war, and you're a brilliant strategist.

So, Your Majesty, for a ruler like you,

don't you think

you should have an empress

who can join you in your battle?

What do you mean by that?

♪Of the world♪

♪Draw the lines of fate♪

Your Majesty,

I have a request.

I'm willing to be your empress.

However, I still wish to remain in the Bureau of Astrology.

Please grant me your permission.

♪Fall from your fingertips♪

You're going to become the Empress, you know?

Why do you still want to work in the Bureau of Astrology?

♪Orbit the seas like a song♪

I can promise you that.

it all depends on how grand your dowries are.

I got it ready long ago.

That's right.

From now on,

everyone in the world can see

that our life stars are shining together.

This dowry of yours

came at inappropriate timing.

You know that I don't believe in destiny.

I don't believe in it either.

But I want the people of the world

to see that we are one.

You will marry me.

And you have to marry me.

♪With me♪

♪All worldly desires♪

♪Fall from your fingertips♪

Okay.

♪Orbit the seas like a song♪

I will announce our wedding to the entire court.

This isn't the entrance to the Stone Vault either?

Why is this place so hard to find?

Excuse me.

It's you?

Are you here for my master?

That's right.

My master passed away last month.

She wanted me to be the new Aluoka.

But there are still

plenty of things I need to learn.

Since it's the intention of the former Aluoka,

I'm sure you can do it.

Thank you.

So why do you want to see my master?

Maybe I can be of help.

This is the sacred weapon of the Winged Clan.

I hope that Aluoka can repair it.

Of course it can be repaired.

However, there's no Starstone in the tip.

As long as you can retrieve the Starstone within the tip,

the elders of Heluo can definitely repair it.

It's a shame that I couldn't find

the Starstone no matter where I go.

I heard

that Starstones are often found beside people who are blessed by the Truth Masters.

People blessed by Truth Masters?

Lingshuang

is blessed by the Truth Masters.

Blessed by the Truth Masters?

Look. Is it this one?

Young Master, don't worry.

This is the Winged Clan's sacred weapon.

The Heluo Clan will be careful with it.

How was it?

Young Master, congratulations. Both the mother and the son are safe.

It's a son?

That's right.

Madam gave birth to a chubby boy.

Thank you.

Good boy.

Madam Liu.

Let me do it.

Carry him properly.

Okay. You can resume your work.

Okay.

Yuan'er.

Look.

Isn't he adorable?

Are you tired?

You should take a break.

Not at all.

I feel happy

when I see you two like this.

You see,

I've let you down.

I couldn't marry you.

Now,

you've given birth to our son.

I will tell Father

that I will marry you officially.

You know

that I don't care about the title.

You may not care about it, but I do.

If I can't marry the woman I love,

I'm not fit to be a man.

But that's not what I need.

What about this?

If you're visiting your father,

you should bring our child

to him.

That's what I thought.

I was afraid that our son

wouldn't be willing to part with you.

He's your son too.

Fan Ruhui,

I heard that you've become a grandfather.

Your Majesty,

my rebellious son committed something unthinkable outside!

Please punish me for my mistake!

This is a joyous occasion.

Why are you requesting punishment?

Fan,

you're old now.

And now, you've got yourself a grandchild.

I should be happy for you instead.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm truly ashamed!

This is my first grandnephew.

He has to be treated properly.

That's why I told the Bureau of Astrology

to name my grandnephew

beforehand.

Bai Lu.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What name did you guys come up with?

Tell me about it.

After our careful calculations,

we came up with the name Tianshou. (*bestowed by heaven)

Your Majesty, what do you think?

Tianshou?

That's a great name.

I like it.

I shall grant this name

to my first grandnephew.

Fan Ruhui,

what do you think?

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Those are precious words coming out of Your Majesty.

It's the honor of the Fan family to receive such grace!

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Fan, get up.

The Fan family and I are relatives.

I hope that the Fan family can become a big family

and thrive.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

It's an honor for my family.

According to customs, we should pray in the ancestral hall.

At the same time, we can pray

for Chao's everlasting rule.

All right.

Bai Lu, supervisor of the Bureau of Astrology,

shall be the rite official.

I will head there personally too.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Thank you, Supervisor Bai!

Father,

why did you call me here at such a late hour?

You have to do something for me.

When Tianshou turns one-month old,

His Majesty will come to the Fan family's ancestral hall.

I've already contacted Yi Wuyou.

Recruit a group of handymen. Kill them

and replace them with his assassins.

Father.

Didn't you say that His Majesty isn't an ordinary human?

Can he

truly kill

Yu Xiuming?

I heard this

from Concubine Tian's servant a few days ago.

He said His Majesty was terminally ill,

and his divine power was exhausted.

(To verify the news,)

(I sneaked into Guangyang Palace.)

(I realized that his Divine Mirror was utterly shattered.)

(I think he must've lost his immortality.)

However, His Majesty is hard to predict.

Maybe he's just trying to lure us out.

That's why this assassination is just a test.

Do it properly. We'll succeed soon.

We're finally going to take back

the things that belong to the Fan family.

It's do or die.

That's right. He's my first grandnephew.

Your Majesty, it's rare to see you this happy.

What? Are you saying

that I'm a cold person?

I've said the wrong thing again.

Fan Ruhui will pray in their ancestral hall in a few days.

I'll send my subordinates from the Bureau of Astrology

to host the ceremony.

I will head there personally as well.

Your Majesty, you just suffered a relapse not long ago.

I'm worried about you.

I'm fine.

I won't die from this.

Your Majesty, could it be

that you were affected by the time-traveling passage?

Your Majesty, please allow me to join you.

That's enough.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Did I upset you again?

I'm not upset.

I know that you're concerned about me.

I will permit you to do so.

Your Majesty, there's no me without you.

I will stay by your side forever.

You're Concubine Tian now.

You're no longer the Commander of the Winged Guards.

You shouldn't worry about the things you shouldn't.

Yes, Your Majesty.
