[A Lifetime Love]

[Episode 36]

How long have you been planning for this?

Three years.

Why didn't you tell me in advance?

Don't you trust me?

I just never got a chance.

Never mind!

It doesn't matter anymore.

You and I weren't that close to begin with.

Congratulations on your success.

I'll be on my way.

A'Mo!

Xuan Yang's Ruo!

You treacherous traitor!

You diabolical woman!

- The King treated you like a daughter, but you harbored sinister intentions.
- Royal Mother.

My son is in prison, and I've been deposed.

Are you happy now?

- Sheng Lun said he'll spare your lives.
- Stop consoling me!

I've seen enough rises, falls, and strife in royal families.

Xuan Yang's Ruo, I just regret not getting rid of you sooner.

That's why I ended up like this.

Just you wait!

I will curse you every day,

hoping you experience all the pain in the world.

You and Sheng Lun will pay your retribution sooner or later.

It isn't over yet!

- Go!
- Move!

Treacherous Traitor, go to hell!
[Chanting Bluntly Through Clouds]

You treacherous traitors, go to hell!

- Treacherous Traitor! Go to hell!
- You all go to hell!

Let go of me!

You'll all go to hell!
[Chanting Bluntly Through Clouds]

How dare you usurp the throne?

Just kill me then!

Get out!

Sister, let's go!

Go?

- Go where?
- To find Chi Yun.

I can't leave yet.

Besides, I can't get out anyway.

Barge out of here then.

I don't believe Sheng Lun will also lock you up.

Sun-flare, don't go anywhere.

Just kill me off then!

How dare you usurp the throne?

Listening to these miserable screams, it's like hell.

Actually, I was already expecting these things.

I just didn't think that

when I really have to face it,

I realize how naïve I was before.

Is Sheng Lun back yet?

Not yet.

Your Highness, I accidentally let Han Yan escape during the chaos.

I already sent a few experts to pursue him.

Please punish me, Your Highness.

If Han Yan escaped, just hunt him down.

Han Yan is cunning in nature.

- It isn't your fault.
- Thank you, Your Highness.

All women in the palace without children have been moved from Clear Ripples Garden

to the Fragrant Residence under Five Gods Mountain.

Your Highness, after careful screening, the people left in the palace now are all very reliable.

Your Highness, should we select more people to fill the vacant posts in the palace?

No need!

Only Princess Consort's and my servants

who take care of in addition to the old servants from Splendor Hall are enough.

Exactly! In the past, one woman needed dozens of people to serve her.

Now, there aren't that many, we should focus on the war instead.

Your Highness, I believe although you have only the Princess Consort right now,

you should take more concubines after you ascend the throne.

By then, we'll still need maids to serve them.

What concubines?

His Highness isn't some lascivious man.

Your Highness, it isn't about lasciviousness.

Every King of Ling Yun must choose concubines from the four tribes.

It's an ancestral tradition.

Especially since after Your Highness ascends the throne, you must bestow honor on those who deserve it.

Our Blue Dragon Tribe doesn't need it, but what about the Solar Deity Tribe?

What about the Lunar Goddess Tribe, or even the White Tiger Tribe?

Only when Your Highness chooses concubines within all four tribes

who will soon give birth to princes with their bloodline,

then the four tribes will support Your Highness with peace of mind.

That way, the remaining forces of Han Yan and Di Yin will never rise again,

during the strife of the next generation of princes.

There's no need.

Your Highness, please reconsider!

Our current success is just temporary.

We can't underestimate Han Yan and Di Yin's remaining forces.

If you want to secure your position as clan leader, you must earn the trust of the other tribes.

- About choosing concubines—
- I said that there's no need.

Do I still specifically need to issue a decree for that?

I understand.

Cousin, you and I grew up together

and have known each other this whole time.

I know you're looking out for me.

It's just that I don't want people to think

I relied on women to seize my throne.

That's the Prince I know!

I understand your thoughts.

You haven't slept all night, so we won't bother you anymore.

You two have worked hard.

Go to get some rest!

Thank you, Your Highness.

About the Jade Palace, do you have any other commands?

Transplant the peach tree from the Clear Ripples Garden to the Jade Palace.

Take good care of it so that not to damage any of its branches or leaves.

Yes.

You're finally here.

Why did you summon me in such a hurry?

There were some change of events last night in Ling Yun.

- Did you hear about them?
- I heard.

Sheng Lun took over Ling Yun.

I assume he'll ascend the throne soon.

What should we do?

There's no need for you to panic.

That's their own problem.

What does it have to do with Xuan Mu?

However, Ling Yun's Sheng Lun and Xuan Yang's Yu Chen are very close in private.

Now that he took control of all of Ling Yun.

I fear that it'll probably strengthen the forces of the two clans.

I suspect that won't be good for our Xuan Mu.

Hao Xu, over the years,

whether it's within Xuan Mu or Xuan Yang,

talk of war has never ceased.

I think a war between Xuan Mu and Xuan Yang is inevitable.

It doesn't matter who becomes the King of Ling Yun.

Besides, the former King of Ling Yun gained more support from Xuan Yang.

However, Sheng Lun purged the entire Ling Yun Clan

in just one swift move.

There weren't any signs of this before.

The thought of that scares me.

I used to think he was just a humble man

with strong spiritual power.

Now, I never thought him to be so heartless and cruel.

He showed no mercy to his Royal Father and Brothers.

If someone like this becomes our enemy,

I'm afraid we are no match for him.

That's true.

We must not underestimate Sheng Lun.

He's way more frightening than his Father.

Chi Yun, why do I feel that

that you are happy when Sheng Lun's plan succeeded?

I just remembered my agreement with someone.

Now that Sheng Lun succeeded,

something good is about to happen to me.

I summoned you into the palace today to tell you

that Ling Yun's Sheng Lun has officially announced that he'll inherit the throne of Ling Yun.

I can't believe that in less than a month,

something so drastic happened in the Ling Yun Clan.

What do you all think about this?

Royal Father, I think that

Sheng Lun is our little sister's husband; thus, Sheng Lun's ascension to the throne

is purely beneficial to Xuan Yang.

Fourth Brother, I have a different opinion about this.

We aren't sure if Sheng Lun is inclined to us,

or if he wants to take advantage of both sides.

If Sheng Lun doesn't appoint our Little Sister as his Queen,

but supports the marriage of Yun Sang and Jing Shi instead,

wouldn't that tell us a lot?

What would that tell us?

Royal Father, I can guarantee

our Little Sister and Sheng Lun's matter has nothing to do with this.

- Sheng Lun will surely lean toward Xuan Yang.
- You guarantee it?

Fourth Brother, when it comes to the affairs between two clans,

this is no laughing matter!

- Yu Chen.
- I'm here, Your Majesty.

You're the closest with Sheng Lun.

Tell me what you think.

Sheng Lun was willing to usurp the throne for reform.

That means he still puts the interests of the entire Ling Yun Clan first.

Therefore, which side he leans toward

depends on which side will be more beneficial for him.

What Yu Chen has said is exactly what I'm thinking.

What do you four think?

Your Majesty,

I believe Ling Yun's Sheng Lun is already planning to be a fence-sitter.

He definitely wants to depend on the stronger party,

while Xuan Yang's strength has been inferior to Xuan Mu.

Therefore, my thoughts are similar to Prince Ji Yi's.

If Ling Yun's Sheng Lun puts off appointing Princess Ruo as his Queen,

but agrees to Jing Shi and Yun Sang's marriage instead,

he must have plans to fall back upon Xuan Mu.

We've continued to hear news of intensifying conflicts

between Xuan Yang and Xuan Mu soldiers at the border these past two months.

They've even been plundering each other's villages.

Even their generals can't restrain them.

Conflicts will only escalate until they are resolved if this continues.

There must be a resolution to this.

Otherwise, it won't be up to us.

- Royal Father, I have something to say.
- Go ahead.

If a war against Xuan Mu is inevitable, now is the best chance to start.

First of all, their entire clan is preparing for the Eldest Princess' wedding, so their guard will be down somewhat.

Secondly, Tong Zheng and Chi Yun don't get along, which resulted in Tong Zheng's closed door cultivation.

Xuan Mu is short of another valiant general.

Thirdly, ever since the implementation of their new policies, their strength has been gradually increasing.

Someday, when their strength can totally crush Xuan Yang, Xuan Yang will be in great danger.

Therefore,

I implore you to launch an attack against Xuan Mu, Royal Father.

- I agree.
- I concur.

- I agree.
- I support it.

Royal Father, we should get the upper hand.

As long as you give the order, I'm willing to launch a surprise attack on Xuan Mu.

I urge you, Royal Father, to launch an attack on Xuan Mu.

- We urge Royal Father to launch a surprise attack on Xuan Mu.
- We urge Your Majesty to launch a surprise on Xuan Mu.

- I was just coming to find you.
- Greetings, Your Highness.

Where did you lock up Royal Father and Mother?

Prince Jian You, the former King has already issued an edict to abdicate the throne.

- He's staying in the Jade Palace now.
- What did you say?

The former King?

My Royal Father still isn't dead yet.

It was Sheng Lun who locked up Royal Father and Mother.

Do you think I don't know?

Where is he? I'll go to see him.

His Majesty might not want to see you.

Fine! I'll go to look for him myself right now.

Pardon my rudeness.

I just have two questions for you.

His Majesty and Di Yin, who is more suitable to be the ruler of Ling Yun?

If Di Yin takes that spot,

what would happen to you and His Majesty?

There's a storm brewing in the Land of Wilderness right now.

The two royal clans are butting heads.

Ling Yun is between a rock and a hard place.

For His Majesty to bear the responsibility at this time of crisis,

it's in favor of public opinion.

No matter how you sugarcoat it, it still doesn't change the fact that Sheng Lun usurped the throne.

Also, let me tell you! Who will become the King of Ling Yun,

it isn't up to you or Sheng Lun to decide,

but it's up to my Royal Father.

Your Highness!

You are the son of the former King

and more so a subject of Ling Yun.

Please use an unbiased view to really think about it,

among His Majesty, Di Yin, and the former King,

who can protect Ling Yun in this turbulent environment?

Who is the one who can protect the myriads of people in Ling Yun?

Ling Yun's Sheng Lun, get out here!

- Sheng Lun!
- Jian You.

Ling Yun's Sheng Lun, I regarded you as my Elder Brother and respected you.

But no matter what, I would never expect you to commit a treacherous crime like this.

Have you heard the sounds of mourning throughout Five Gods Mountain?

You locked up Royal Father, Royal Mother,

and Second Brother.

Why don't also you lock me up?

Lock me up!

What's the use of keeping me around?

You won't say anything?

I really don't understand what Royal Father did wrong

to make you commit such a treacherous crime.

Jian You, Sheng Lun had no choice.

Don't make excuses for him!

Good for you, Princess of Xuan Yang!

What a perfect couple!

You used Royal Father's kindness to help him usurp the throne!

Jian You, shut up!

Fine!

Xuan Yang's Ruo, Sheng Lun,

I never want to see the two of you ever again.

You don't have to lock me up.

I'll move myself to the Jade Palace right now.

Why didn't you explain to him?

What to explain?

Everything he said was true.

However, you did all this for the sake of Ling Yun.

No matter what I say or do, in the eyes of the world,

I'm just an usurper.

However, Jian You is your dearest brother.

If you explain it to him, he'll certainly understand.

Not explaining to him is the best way to protect him.

Just let him hate me then.

If I can't lead Ling Yun toward a greater path,

then I'll forever be infamous.

What's the point of dragging him into it?

If he's friendly with me, he'll have to bear the same sin.

Why not to make a clean break like this?

Whether I succeed or fail, he can live the rest of his life in peace.

I'll go in alone.

Wait for me out here!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Are you here to see just how miserable I am?

What? Are you happy now?

The result is clear now.

As long as you pledge your loyalty to me, in Ling Yun,

you will still have power above everyone except me.

After all, you and I are brothers.

You, just the son of a lowly maid?

What gives you the right to claim to be my brother?

"Winner takes all," I don't have anything to say anymore.

But let me tell you!

I don't see Han Yan here.

I believe he must've escaped.

Just you wait! Han Yan will certainly bring an army to come and save me.

You'd better kill me now.

Otherwise, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!

Di Yin, things have proceed to this point,

why do you still refuse to wake up?

You're my brother.

I won't kill you.

You just stay here then.

Don't get too happy too quickly!

It isn't over yet.

How many of the four tribes can you control?

As long as I'm not dead yet, I still have a chance.

Your Majesty, the former King is inside.

Do you want to see him?

No.

If I go in there, we'll only upset each other.

Make the arrangements to send people to search for folk songs within the Land of Wilderness

to organize them into scrolls.

Then send people to collect precious flowers and animals to deliver them here.

Don't worry about what it costs.

If Royal Father needs anything, meet all his demands.

If you can't make the decision on something, report it to me.

Yes.

Sister A'Mo, when can we leave?

Why?

- Don't you like it here?
- It's all right.

However, I don't think we belong here.

Don't worry!

Very oon,

really soon.

Ling Yun's affairs are settled.

Come to pick me up.

I miss you.

She said she misses me.

I, Kun Bu, greets Your Highness.

Sit down, General Kun Bu.

Here! You're here just in time.

Why did you ask me here today, Eldest Princess?

My marriage has been announced to the world.

I'm leaving Xuan Mu soon.

When I'm not in Xuan Mu,

I hope you will offer your assistance to His Majesty.

As a courtier of Xuan Mu,

I'll certainly spare no efforts for His Majesty.

I'm guessing this isn't the only reason why you asked me here.

I heard from Tong Zheng's subordinates

that Tong Zheng is fully recovered.

His spiritual power has became stronger,

and he's about to emerge from his closed door cultivation.

I hope you let go and stop making him your enemy.

I know you attacked him before because of A'Mo at the time.

However, A'Mo is already back.

Tong Zheng was locked up in seclusion for three years.

He has also paid his price.

He doesn't deserve to die, either.

General Kun Bu, you and Tong Zheng are both important courtiers of Xuan Mu.

When two tigers fight, one is sure to get injured.

I hope the two of you can restrain yourselves,

not to let someone else takes advantage of it.

Since Your Highness has asked, I certainly dare not disobey.

General, you're sensible and righteous.

I would like to thank you.

You may withdraw, no need to wait on me.

Yes.

It's me.

Why are you here all of a sudden?

Someone said she missed me.

I just happened to miss her, too.

You were really vicious.

If I hadn't reacted fast enough, you were going to spend the rest of your life as a widow.

Enough now.

Even though Di Yin has been imprisoned, Han Yan is still out there.

Besides, there's been a rumor that they'll be coming to assassinate Sheng Lun.

So my nerves have been high-strung all day long.

If I were Sheng Lun, I would imprison all those twenty or so brothers of his.

Keep those who should stay alive and kill those who should be killed.

Why bring trouble to himself?

You don't care if people call you the devil,

but Sheng Lun does care.

He wants to be a good leader,

a good son, and a good brother.

Why does he care about all that gossip?

You can seize power through killing.

However, if you want to rule the kingdom, you need to rely on benevolence and righteousness.

Besides, excessive killing isn't a good thing, is it?

What do you think?

You're always right, My Wife.

My darling wife is the smartest person in the world.

You're saying nonsense—

I didn't say any nonsense.

A'Mo, listen to my heart!

It really misses you.

It says it can't wait a moment longer.

I'll take you somewhere.

Where?

Hide!

A'Mo.

Why are you here?

I went to look for you in the grand hall and found you weren't there.

The room felt a bit stuffy, so I came out to walk around.

Why did you come back all of a sudden?

- Is the banquet over?
- Not yet.

I made an excuse and snuck out.

Why did you sneak out to look for me?

Nothing! I just wanted to check on you.

The situation has been unstable lately.

I was afraid you might be scared at night.

I already feel very at ease living in Splendor Hall alone.

Thank you.

The courtiers at today's banquet were worried that we don't have enough servants.

How would they know that we're sick of being served by so many people?

Currently, the fewer people around us the better.

I don't need more servants, either.

Huan Xu alone is good enough.

As you wish!

Then... I'm going to bed now.

Are you going to rest or head back?

The banquet still isn't over yet, so I need to go back.

I just wanted to check on you.

Have a good night's sleep!

Stop looking!

He has already gone.

Why don't you go home first?

No.

It wasn't easy to finally be able to see you.

Although I already made a pact with Sheng Lun,

I still feel as if

I'm betraying him if we do this.

You're my woman.

There's no betrayal here.

Are you still reluctant to leave him?

Of course, not!

All fine now!

When I'm here, I don't want you to feel unhappy at all.

I'll take you somewhere.

You'll surely be happy.

[Willingly Taking On Great Responsibility]

A'Mo, do you know?

My heart really aches.

Where is this?

Why are so many people gathered there?

That's where Tong Zheng did his closed-door cultivation.

Tong Zheng is coming out today.

Those are all his trusted followers.

What do you want to do?

Why did you take me here?

It isn't what I want to do, but what you want to do.

Me?

He almost killed you.

Do you want him to die?

Just say the word, and I'll go to kill him right now.

Never mind! There's no need.

He put you through so much misery, and tore us apart for so long.

Are you going to spare him just like that?

I don't hate him.

Besides, I don't want you to push these nobles too hard.

Although their families have declined,

they still have over a thousand years of foundation in Xuan Mu.

I'm afraid there will be backlash against you.

Don't you worry!

Either I don't do it,

or if I do, I'll uproot them all.

I finally understand the former King of Xuan Mu's intentions.

You're really a vicious villain.

That's why he used Hao Xu's gentle nature to pacify your hostility.

You and Hao Xu complement each other perfectly.

All right, Chi Yun! Don't give Tong Zheng any more trouble.

As long as he doesn't provoke us, we'll spare him this time.

All right.

My A'Mo is so kind.

Since I'm not killing Tong Zheng, let's go back to Ruo Jiang.

We'll dig out a jug of wine that Yan Hao brewed for you to drink together, won't we?

Sure! That sounds better.

What a powerful fire spirit!

Congratulations, General Tong on coming out of seclusion!

Congratulations, General Tong on coming out of seclusion!

After three years of closed-door cultivation, he has become more powerful.

You must be careful.

I'm just afraid that we spared him,

but he won't spare you.

Don't worry!

When it comes to solo fights, he's still no match for me.

The night is short.

Why think about him?

From now on, you can have only me in your eyes and in your heart.

Your opponent is so powerful, and you're still in the mood for jokes?

I don't even care if the sky falls down.

I want only you.

Come on! Go back to Ruo Jiang with me.

During the three years I cultivated in seclusion,

it has been difficult for everyone.

General, you're finally out.

Over the past few years, we haven't lived well at all.

The King of Xuan Mu and that Chi Yun replaced more than half of our men.

Right now, we have less than forty percent of our original military power.

Now that you're back, you have to avenge us!

General, the King of Xuan Mu has completely established his influence.

It will be hard to shake him.

Our top priority is to get rid of that Chi Yun as soon as possible.

Once Chi Yun leaves,

the King of Xuan Mu will lose his right-hand man.

That will prevent him from keeping us at bay.

Chi Yun and I cannot occupy the same world!

Now that I'm out, every should be sure

that I already came up with a plan this time.

I'll take back double of what I lost.

We'll follow your lead, General.

Everyone is congratulating me lately.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Congratulate you for what?

Congratulate you for imprisoning your Royal Father and brothers?

They should be glad I can still restrain myself.

Otherwise, more people would've died.

I have a gift for you.

What is this?

This is a toxin that can make your Royal Father sick,

too sick to handle the state affairs.

Sheng Lun!

What do you mean by that?

Why are you so nervous?

Don't you worry! No one can detect it.

I always thought your Royal Father really did fall ill.

I always thought you seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Yu Chen, it's been so many years.

You have never been able to be merciless.

Where is this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

We have to create our own opportunities.

It's been ten years.

I've waited for ten years, and got nothing.

Even so, you can't use methods like that.

That's a monstrous crime!

Yu Chen, when you become the King of Xuan Yang,

let's seize the world together.

Let me tell you! Xuan Yang is going to war with Xuan Mu.

This war is long overdue.

Tong Zheng killed your brother,

and you still haven't gotten revenge.

This matter has always been buried in Royal Father's heart.

No one dares to mention it in court.

However, this war isn't meant to seek revenge for Xuan Yang's Hui.

I understand.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Will Ling Yun join the battle?

That depends on your battle progress.

I know you just too well.

You're way more cunning than your Royal Father.

But Sheng Lun,

I do hope that

we never have to fight each other on the battlefield.

If I die in your hands,

just bury my bones in a wine jug.

Then what if I die in your hands?

I'll turn your bones into my throne

and sit on it whenever I'm in the imperial court.

Sit on it every single day

until I die.

Do you hate me that much for fighting with you for the world?

That way, I can avenge you.

I want the person who sits on that throne

to never forget about it

and be tormented by it each day.

Let's hope...

that day never comes.

I just want to sit with you like this forever.

When everything is over,

let's live in seclusion.

Just live a simple life right here

and have a bunch of children who are as strong as vicious beasts!

Who wants to have children with you?

I'm looking forward to that day right now.

Me, too.

What happened? Still can't find Chi Yun?

Hao Xu, don't worry too much!

I already persuaded Kun Bu and Chi Yun.

They probably won't make trouble for Tong Zheng anymore.

Tong Zheng didn't tell me when he finished cultivating.

I'm assuming he doesn't trust me.

Tong Zheng is a sharp weapon.

Use it well and it'll kill enemies, but if not, it'll hurt you.

It seems like we can't constrain Chi Yun all the time.

We have to let him restrain Tong Zheng.

Sister, don't worry! I know what to do.

You just have to worry about preparing for your wedding.

You're awake.

What's wrong?

Xuan Yang launched a sudden attack upon the border of Xuan Mu, and has already captured two cities.

Ji Yi is the vanguard, and they've won the first battle to gain the upper hand.

I must return to Mount Xuan Mu immediately.

Xuan Yang attacked Xuan Mu? How could that happen?

My Royal Father is always against war.

With nonstop clashing between the two clans,

the conflicts have already escalated from soldiers to the generals.

My guess is that your Royal Father had no choice.

How can something like that happen?

If the two clans go to war, then what do we do?
