[Mirror : A Tale of Twin Cities]

[Episode 35]

Ya Ren, are you transforming?

Chun Huang, I made a mistake.

Ya Ren, tell me quickly.

Who exactly is this person?

Ya Ren, don't be sad.

Although you cannot be with him,

you'll still need to take good care of yourself.

I know, Bai Wei.

Oh, yes! How is Chun Huang?

Ever since we parted, Chun Huang has changed greatly.

He used to hate dealing with Quanxian's affairs most.

Now, that's all he is concerned about.

But Quanxian is so much more prosperous than Kongsang now.

It's all thanks to Chun Huang.

But he only thinks about Quanxian.

He still hasn't married a queen.

He has transformed, too? What kind of woman is she?

That woman...

He lost her after all.

What a pity.

However, I still want to go to Dragon Silk Palace to take a look.

You will always be the most welcomed visitor to Quanxian.

Chun Huang...

We will all miss you.

Bai Wei, I'm leaving now.

Why don't you stay here tonight and rest well?

Are you drinking by yourself?

His Majesty asked me to send this over.

His Majesty said this is the queen's favorite.

A'Lang knows everything about me.

Bai Wei, it's not good to drink wine on an empty stomach.

How about this?

I'll drink with you another day. How about it?

[Wine]

- Your Majesty. - How is Princess Ya Ren?

She talked with the queen for a while and then went to rest in the side hall.

There was nothing out of the ordinary.

Keep an eye on her.

Other than that, is there any talk inside or outside the palace about the Quanxian envoy?

All the city's residents were present for this visit.

Everyone commented that they had never seen such precious and exotic treasures.

They all felt it was quite a feast for the eyes.

Did the six princes say anything?

I attended tonight's banquet and heard the discussion among the six princes.

Among them, Prince Qing was outspoken about the alliance.

Prince Qing believes Quanxian is acting friendly on the surface but it's actually a provocation.

Quanxian is more prosperous than Kongsang.

Kongsang has established a capital city, but the treasury is empty.

Your Majesty is highly skilled, but the Emperor of the Sea is wiser.

What else did Prince Qing say?

Prince Qing also said that if you can agree to his request

to attack Quanxian...

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, the queen...

What's the matter with A'Wei?

The queen is unconscious from poisoning.

What?

She treats you as if you were her own sister.

You actually tried to poison her.

That's truly vicious!

Why are you laughing?

I've never thought of harming Sister Bai Wei.

What I want is your life!

You are the one who delivered the poisoned wine to her.

You want to kill me?

- Feeling remorseful? - Yes?

I regret that I saved you back then.

These years, you've been fighting battles in Yunhuang.

On the surface, it's for securing peace in Yunhuang.

But everything you do cannot cover up your wolf-like ambition.

After the six divisions, you eyed Quanxian.

You've been jealous that my older brother has been in Bai Wei's heart.

Furthermore, you covet Quanxian's wealth.

Shut up!

I'm jealous? I covet?

Don't you know it yourself?

Your gaze has already changed.

You are not the same person that I knew years ago.

It's you who has changed instead!

Returning to what? You want to steal my queen!

What alliance? You just want to show my incapability.

And now, you want to kill me.

I hate you. I wish I could die with you.

The ancient powers are in my hands.

Within the seven seas, Yunhuang and the universe belong to me.

I'll let you take a good look...

to see how I'll trample Quanxian.

Queen! Queen, no good!

His Majesty has led the troops to Biluo Sea to ask for an explanation.

What did you say?

His Majesty said that Princess Ya Ren poisoned you.

He wants...

Nonsense.

Why would Ya Ren poison me?

Go... Go bring my armor.

Queen, you just woke up.

Hurry!

Yes.

I have to stop A'Lang. I must stop him.

Emperor of the Sea, Kongsang's king has reached the edge of Biluo Sea.

He said... He said that Princess Ya Ren poisoned Queen Bai Wei.

He said he wanted to trample Quanxian as revenge for the queen.

If he wants a crusade, why would he dispatch a nameless army?

Emperor of the Sea, this is the last year that the dragon deity is changing his bones.

Without the dragon deity's protection, we are unable to fight back.

Besides, he wields the power of Heaven.

- Meet the battle. - Yes.

Lang Gan, I told you that day.

To keep peace in Yunhuang,

why do you continue to wage battles everywhere?

You've betrayed your promise.

Kill him. Kill him.

You are wrong.

Possessing strong powers will not bring disaster.

The current plight of Quanxian...

is because of your desires.

What do you mean?

My ancestors lived in Dragon Silk Palace for generations.

Even though we've been protected by the dragon deity, we've never waged war on anyone.

But you love a woman who you aren't supposed to love.

You even tried to grab her away from my side.

Bai Wei told me, she asked you to send a letter to me.

But...

I never received any letter.

When I arrived at Dragon Silk Palace,

you even had Ya Ren trap me.

But this time,

you even had her use poison.

What exactly is your intention?

Bai Wei asked me to send the letters.

I indeed hesitated.

But I did send the letters.

You say Ya Ren used poison,

I know nothing about it.

That's true, I do love Bai Wei.

But I never thought of grabbing her.

Even more, I never thought of harming her.

I've never even expressed to her how much I love her...

because I knew you were the only one

she loves.

If I hadn't arrived just in time,

you would've kept her by your side. Right?

You can't have her

and you can't stand that I'm at peace with her.

That's just your excuse for seizing Quanxian.

Lang Gan, I thought that you were pure and good natured and could suppress the demonic nature to conquer,

but you've already lost your mind.

You're not who you were before.

Kill him!

No matter who I become,

I'll do anything for Bai Wei.

I can share the world with her.

But I can't let you...

be in her life anymore.

A'Wei, why are you pointing your sword towards me?

Why are you doing this?

I wanted to confront him for you.

Confront him for me?

You're talking about Ya Ren poisoning me?

Then let me ask you. Why do you think Ya Ren would poison me?

- She… - Let me ask you again.

Yunhuang has been quiet for years.

It takes time to set off an army.

How could you lead an army to attack Quanxian

as soon as I was poisoned?

Lang Gan, you've been planning to seize Quanxian all along.

Everything about Ya Ren poisoning her, is just an excuse of yours.

Ya Ren is kindhearted. She would never do such a thing.

Shut up!

A'Lang!

You don't trust me.

I would definitely trust

the you from before.

But you've changed.

Kongsang is what it is today because of Chun Huang's help.

You're returning their kindness with ingratitude.

His help?

He clearly had other ideas!

Why did you become like this?

Why does the world seem so evil to you?

Whether it's me or Ya Ren,

we're just excuses for you to conquer Quanxian.

Do you even remember that the Splitting Sword was given to us by Chun Huang

when you raised it?

It's for us to live in peace and to protect Yunhuang.

We've already achieved our original goal.

But what about you? You still don't want to put away the sword.

You'd rather listen to Prince Qing's bad advice.

You even pointed your sword at Quanxian!

And made a vain attempt to seal the dragon deity.

Have you gone insane?

Without the protection of the dragon deity,

generations will start obeying.

There'll be no more rebellion.

If you kill Quanxian today,

Kongsang will be destroyed by others in the future.

When will this never-ending cycle stop?

What are you doing?

You're no longer the kind astrologer A'Lang

that I grew up with.

You're now the Heavenly King I don't recognize.

I'm giving you back this Earth Ring.

The Earth Ring belongs to the queen.

You can't just take it off when you want!

You're Kongsang's queen.

You're my queen!

But now you're betraying me for an outsider.

Heaven, Earth,

the seven seas, and Yunhuang.

I'm sharing it all with you, but why are you doing this?

How can Heaven and Earth...

belong to us alone?

A'Lang, come to your senses.

Stop this.

A'Wei.

Why do you have to betray me?

Because of him?

If I kill Chun Huang,

all of this will come to an end.

Bai Wei belongs to me alone.

Why is this happening?

This illusion trapped all three of us in here.

If I don't wake up,

the Splitting Sword will kill Bai Ying

like it killed Queen Bai Wei 7,000 years ago.

I must wake up!

Bai Ying.

Wake up.

Bai Ying, wake up.

What's going on with her?

She must still be stuck in the illusion.

Bai Wei.

Bai Ying.

- Su Mo. - You're finally awake.

Your Highness, what are you doing here?

Earlier I got sucked in by a ray of light.

Then the Splitting Sword was in my hands

and I was holding the Splitting Sword

while I was with you in the peaceful Yunhuang.

You saw the illusion, too?

Do you know about anything that happened in the illusion?

Previously, at the Heavenly King's tomb in Jiuyi,

I imagined the scene before Queen Bai Wei died.

But I didn't know that I was the one who stabbed her.

No, Lang Gan.

Why didn't you tell us you saw that scene from our illusions?

And why did you come here so suddenly?

- I looked at the parchment paper over and over again after you left. - What did you notice?

These words were written on the paper,

"It's the day to meet with the Stranded Dragon Abyss.

You take off the ring and I return alone.

I'm depressed all day, my only hope is for you to return.

I'm filled with sadness and sorrow."

I didn't think anything was strange at the time,

but I felt more uneasy the more I read it.

Especially the words "You take off the ring."

So I thought that the history of the Stranded Dragon Abyss must've been a complicated one

and I rushed over here.

But I didn't expect to almost hurt you both.

What we saw in the illusion…

Perhaps they weren't illusions, but the truth.

Didn't you say there's been a pair of eyes watching us?

Perhaps that pair of eyes...

is the person who brought us into the illusion.

You mean, that pair of eyes are...

Queen Bai Wei.

The illusion from just now almost made the three of us

kill ourselves. Let's hurry to find the Stranded Dragon Rope.

Isn't the Stranded Dragon Rope over there?

Where is the Stranded Dragon Rope?

Here is the Stranded Dragon Abyss. How can this barrier

stop the Fire Formation?

Maybe this Stranded Dragon Rope is like the Xuan Huang Scripture.

Only you can see it.

I'll try it then.

You still came before me.

You're not too late.

If it weren't for those Quanxian soldiers making trouble,

I would've been here a long time ago.

What have you done to them?

Have you heard of the poison called Algae of Red Ghost?

It's now spread all over the water channels in the Cangwu Province.

No one can escape from it.

Also, your Commissioner of the Left Yan Xi.

Guess if he is dead or alive now,

including your spy, Xiao.

You're despicable.

Do you really think I'd forever be deceived by you?

Su Mo, hurry and undo the seal.

Leave this person to me.

Your Majesty.

Don't worry. I can handle it.

I'd like to see how fierce the Crown Prince of Kongsang is.

[Stranded Dragon Platform]

The dragon deity that's been sealed for thousands of years will finally see the sun again.

The Stranded Dragon Rope has been untied.

Why isn't the dragon deity out yet?

The dragon deity is right under us.

It turns out that the reef around the Stranded Dragon Abyss is the dragon deity.

Why hasn't the dragon deity come out after the Stranded Dragon Rope was cut?

Dragon Deity! I am Emperor of the Sea!

I'm here to save you.

Maybe it's not enough to cut the Stranded Dragon Rope?

What must really be done to save the dragon deity?

I've been waiting for you a long time.

Kongsang has already been destroyed and you've just come.

Queen Bai Wei.

I've remained in the Stranded Dragon Abyss for 7,000 years

thanks to the Earth Ring on your hand.

When I see you,

it's like seeing how we were all those years ago.

What exactly were those illusions we saw?

Everything you saw was true.

They are recollections

about Chun Huang, Lang Gan, and myself from 7,000 years ago.

Whenever I thought of how Lang Gan was back then,

I couldn't believe that my memory was genuine.

Jealousy and ambition can expand the darkness in man.

It will make one crazy.

Attacking Quanxian, sealing Biluo Sea,

making generations of Quanxian leave their home,

fortitude became stubbornness, love became possessiveness.

Those originally good attributes in Lang Gan's personality

unknowingly became twisted.

He became someone that I didn't recognize.

Ever since he found you in Biluo Sea, from that time on,

everyone's fate was changed.

It's an undeniable fate that made us start this journey.

For Yunhuang, I wanted safety.

But he wanted to control, to conquer.

Then we carried swords to walk in the battle fire,

it was predetermined that we would walk to two separate destinations.

Is fate really undeniable?

It's opened.

This water mirror...

Bai Wei...

Do you still want to get out?

A'Wei...

According to the Huang Xuan Scripture, the Splitting Sword can undo the dragon deity's seal.

But now, the Stranded Dragon Rope is already broken, why isn't the dragon deity coming?

There are two seals on the dragon deity.

The first one was set up by A'Lang.

It's this Stranded Dragon Rope.

In order to trap the dragon deity in the Stranded Dragon Abyss forever,

there is another seal that was set up by me.

When A'Lang was sealing the dragon deity,

I feared the dragon deity would be destroyed.

So I used half of the Earth Ring's power to make a seal for the dragon deity

to protect it forever. The other half of the power

was kept inside your Earth Ring.

Bai Wei.

How did this happen?

I didn't do it on purpose.

A'Wei, why?

I wish to die without my eyes closed

so that I can see you die someday.

Bai Wei, don't talk now.

A'Wei, I didn't do it deliberately.

I... I...

It's all because of Chun Huang.

Without him,

you would have been my queen forever.

Right! It's him.

It's he who is at fault.

I'll kill him.

♫ Among the frosty clouds is the cold moon ♫

Chun Huang, I can't release the dragon deity.

But I will protect the dragon deity for you.

Quanxian will not be destroyed.

Queen Bai Wei, what can we do

to release the dragon deitiy?

Follow me!

Put your hand on it.

I still can't open it.

Focus.

Condense your power into the Earth Ring.

Watch out!

I have endured so much suffering for hundreds of years.

I can't let go of that sword.

Dragon Deity of Quanxian, we finally meet again.

Seven thousand years already.

We've finally reached this moment when I can undo your seal.

I am here to correct the mistake made those years ago.

The dragon deity is angry.

It must still remember

that Chun Huang took the dragon tooth for my sake originally.

Then what should I do now?

Undo the seal and let the dragon deity fly out.

Queen Bai Wei, please let me borrow your power so that I can release the dragon deity.

I naturally will let you borrow the power.

Only you will be able to do this.

You used half of the spirit sense to open the Wuse City.

But with your physical body now,

you have to pay a huge price to obtain my power

by sacrificing your most precious thing.

Are you willing?

Did I just get poisoned by Yu Huan's Algae of Red Ghost?

No matter what, I will agree for Quanxian and for Su Mo.

Let's not continue the regrets and mistakes from the past.

Queen Bai Wei, I'm ready.

All right.

My descendant.

You already have all of my power.

Hurry and release the dragon deity.

Let the dragon deity acknowledge the Emperor of the Sea as master.

I will dissipate, too.

Kongsang, and also Yunhuang,

will be left to both of you.

A'Wei.

You actually want to transfer to me.

The dragon deity's seal is about to be undone.

Hurry and climb up there to kill Su Mo.

Why am I always the one

who is abandoned and harmed?

Why?

Bai Ying!

Bai Ying, what have you done just now?

To release the seal on the dragon deity,

this is the only way.

Years ago, Heavenly King sealed the dragon deity.

So now, it should be me, a descendant of Queen Bai of Kongsang,

who undoes the seal.
