[Love you seven times]

[Episode 8]

Dear Xiangyun,

we're so far apart

and it'll take a long time for my letters to reach you.

I wonder what day it is when you receive this letter.

Looking at the moon, I miss you.

The pendant you gave me keeps reminding me of you.

Xiangyun.

I won't be by your side in the future.

But when you look up at the moon,

our eyes will meet up there.

This is the longevity jade pendant my mother gave me.

She said it can keep me safe

and make me live a long life.

I give it to you.

You remember all that.

Looking at the moon, I miss you.

[Engagement Annulment]

If you don't want to marry him,

I can mediate for you

to break off the engagement.

No, thanks.

I may

get into a little bit of trouble,

but I'm willing to marry him.

Because it's him.

Lu Changkong.

[Tai'an Palace]

Are you sure that Lu Liang committed treason?

Yes, Father. Just give the order to search his house.

I think the most suitable person

for that task

is Song Qinwen, the commander of the Royal Guards.

Why?

Song Qinwen and Grand General Lu are very close.

This is

a good chance to force Song Qinwen to make a stand.

Besides, it can also make Lu Liang's subordinates

turn against Song Qinwen.

Song Qinwen will be faced with criticism in the court

and can never become the second Lu Liang.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Xiuming, I neglected you in the past.

Do you blame me?

Father, you're so busy with court affairs.

I just hope you can take good care of yourself.

Why would I blame you?

Good.

Do as you wish.

Yes.

Has Yingshi left the city?

Yes, Young Master.

I saw her walk out of the city gate.

If nothing happens, she'll reach home in a few days.

Good.

Help me.

Yes.

[The Imperial Edict]

That's the imperial edict.

I humbly accept it.

Commander Song, His Majesty has a message for you.

I'm all ears.

If you find evidence of treason,

kill the traitors on the spot.

What?

Kill…

I don't know if I can

drink with you again.

Lu,

don't worry about what His Majesty said yesterday.

I know my enemies well.

You don't have to comfort me.

You're drunk.

I'm not drunk!

I never regret what I did!

I just feel sorry

for my wife and son.

Song,

you watched Kong grow up.

If that day comes,

for old times' sake,

show him some mercy.

Spare his life.

Okay?

Cheers!

Cheers.

[Lu Mansion]

My lord.

We received a secret letter from the Song family.

Father.

You handled that matter

at Wenkang very well.

Son,

you've grown up.

At this point,

are you still going to keep me in the dark?

Where is that huge amount of money

meant for the soldiers' pay?

I don't believe

you'd do something like that!

Maybe

it's time for you to know the truth.

Eight years ago,

the Jin River overflowed its banks.

20 thousand people fell victim.

There was a lot of resentment in the country.

To help the victims,

His Majesty

secretly allocated money to the disaster area every year

and sent me to resettle the victims.

Remember.

This matter

must be kept between you and me.

All these years,

I've been helping

the wives and children

of those dead soldiers from memory.

I devoted my whole life

to Great Chen

and never thought

that I'd end up like this.

His Majesty used me up

and wants to get rid of me.

I should've expected it.

The emperor wants me to die.

I

have to die.

Is there

no evidence left?

There is.

Don't worry.

I have a backup plan.

Do you remember Uncle Zhong?

Your former lieutenant

who lives in seclusion now?

Yes.

His Majesty

issued a secret edict back then.

He's a thoughtful man.

In case things go south,

he burned a fake secret edict

and kept the real one.

I'll set off now

to get that secret edict.

Wait.

Father.

Kong.

There's too much at stake.

You must be careful.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely

bring back the secret edict.

Okay.

Song.

Where are you going?

Can you really

bring yourself to do this?

You said

that Grand General Lu

is like your brother.

Stay out of this.

Go back to your room.

Song.

Is there

nothing we can do?

I know you're sad.

So am I.

But dear,

we can't disobey the emperor.

Song!

Keep an eye on her.

If she runs away,

you'll answer to me!

Yes.

Song.

Song!

Song!

[Song Mansion]

[Tai'an Palace]

[To His Majesty] [From Lu Liang]

This is the record of the funds

I allocated to the Lu family these years.

Great.

Great.

Are you ready?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Just give the order.

[Song Mansion]

Let me out!

Let me out!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Xiangyun.

Mother.

Mother.

Let me out.

Mother.

I know it's hard for you,

but it's hard for your father too.

Mr. Lu is his brother

who fought alongside him on the battlefield.

You'll understand in the future.

It's the emperor's order.

He has no choice.

Mother, I know.

I know Father has no choice.

But the Lu family is innocent.

What did Lu Changkong do wrong?

Mother,

I can't watch him die.

Mother, let me out!

Mother.

I know you and Kong are close.

But even if I let you out,

you can't change anything or save anyone.

But I have to do something.

Mother, let me out!

Mother, let me out!

Let me out, Mother!

Keep an eye on her.

Mother, don't go!

Mother, don't go!

Let me out.

Let me out.

Mother, let me out!

[Lu Mansion]

[Lu Mansion]

My lord.

The moon tonight

is so bright.

Song, would you like to have a drink with me?

Do you know why I'm here?

Do what you need to do.

Lu.

In my whole life,

I've never done anything

that I'm ashamed of.

I can't wait to see

who is trying to frame me.

Search.

Yes.

Uncle Zhong.

It should be here.

It may be there.

U-Uncle Zhong.

Uncle Zhong.

There's no such thing as a secret edict.

Is there?

My father tricked me into coming here

to save my life.

Right?

Young...

Mr. Song, we didn't find anything.

We didn't find anything.

Detain Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu

for investigation.

Yes.

Wait.

Grand General Lu. Mr. Song.

Why are you here?

His Majesty is considerate

and thinks

that you may need a witness.

So he sent me here

to assist you.

No need.

I've searched everywhere.

Since I'm already here,

I need to get my work done

and report what I found to His Majesty.

Search!

Yes.

Miss, you need to eat.

Miss, don't worry.

Old Master and the Lu family are very close.

He'll find a way

to save Young Master Lu.

Cui Bi, help me get out of here.

I can't wait any longer.

Miss, you can't do this.

Get out! Get out!

Yes.

Miss Song?

Stop! Stop!

Go after her!

Move.

Move!

Miss, don't make it difficult for us.

Move!

Xiangyun, put it down.

Xiangyun, put down the sword.

Do it for Mother.

Mother.

I've been petulant

since young

and caused you a lot of trouble.

But tonight is different.

I'm not being willful.

I have to save Lu Changkong no matter what.

Have you thought about the consequences?

All I know

is that if I don't go to him tonight,

I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

Mother.

Don't stop me.

Xiangyun,

I know

what kind of person you are.

If you want to leave,

no one can stop you.

You must be very careful. Don't be impulsive.

Think about me and your father.

We can't live without you.

Mother.

I'm sorry.

Your Highness, the wind is picking up.

Be careful not to catch a cold.

My lord.

Lu Liang.

What is this?

What's the point of that?

Feng Yuanzhou.

How dare you frame him?

Frame?

Commander Song, I'm under His Majesty's orders.

I'm not framing anyone.

You…

Even if he didn't do it,

someone else would.

Who is framing me

won't make any difference.

The emperor wants me to die,

so I have to die.

The result won't change.

Why don't we

put an end to this tonight?

Lu Liang.

Anyone who disobeys His Majesty

will be executed along with his family.

I advise you to confess now

and not implicate the innocent.

Lu,

someone fabricated evidence.

I'll find out the truth.

I used this sword

to kill countless enemies

and expand territory for Great Chen.

If I can

end my life with it,

I'll have no regret.

The road ahead is dark,

but I'll go down it anyway.

Song, you should learn from this.

Don't repeat my mistake.

Lu Liang!

If you die in front of me because of a false accusation,

how am I going

to go on with my life?

Having a confidant like you, I can't ask for more.

Song.

Don't blame yourself.

Lu!

My lord!

My lord!

My lord!

Lu!

My lord! My lord!

My lord!

Father!

Perfect timing.

Take him down.

No!

Do you want to disobey His Majesty?

Go, Kong!

Kong!

Kong!

Go, Kong!

We shall go together!

We shall go together.

Together.

You audacious traitor.

Together…

I'll behead you for justice!

Mother!

Mother!

Go to hell!

Go. Go.

Yun.

Young Master!

Go!

Come with me.

Split up and find them.

They couldn't have gotten far.

Yes.

Yes. Here we are.

Young Master. Young Master.

At dusk, Old Master asked me to prepare a carriage.

I didn't know what it was for

until I came back.

Young Master, come.

Young Master.

Young Master!

You couldn't stop this from happening.

Miss Song.

Young Master

can only rely on you now.

You don't need to tell me that.

I'll protect him at all costs.

Over there!

Get up!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Don't let them escape.

Hurry!

Lu Fang, get up with us.

Tell Cui Bi

that I

can't wait for her anymore.

Take care.

Lu Fang!

Song.

Do you know what you are doing?

Lu Changkong can't die.

Song,

please let me be willful one last time.

Let us go.

Have you made up your mind?

If Lu Changkong dies,

I'll die with him.

Go.

Song.

Go.

Go!

Yun.

After you leave today,

I don't know when we can meet again.

When I can't protect you by your side,

you must protect yourself.

♫Paper cranes from childhood flew in the woods♫

♫I can still picture the fence of our old house♫

♫Go up the river of time♫

♫I become a kid again♫

♫The crescent moon hanging low on the sky♫

Song!

♫Cast light upon the road of growing up♫

You raised me.

I'll repay you in my next life.

♫You grew old overnight♫

♫Time doesn't talk♫

♫It drew wrinkles around your eyes♫

♫Your children left for somewhere far away♫

♫You miss them day by day♫

♫You have nobody to talk to now♫

♫Time is flowing in the hourglass♫

♫Winter goes and spring comes♫

♫You paved the way for me♫

♫Your hair has turned gray♫

♫Your tea has gone cold♫

Your Highness.

The First Prince, Li Xiuzhe,

colluded with Lu Liang, the Grand General,

to embezzle soldiers' pay

and gather private troops.

There's solid evidence

that they wanted to raise a rebellion.

He's been deprived of his title

and become a commoner.

He'll be sent to guard the Jing'an Mausoleum today.

Without being summoned,

he can't come back.

Your Highness.

After he's gone,

you'll have

more influence over the court.

Your Highness,

congratulations.

Father is not feeling well today.

Send an imperial physician to him.

My lord,

the Lu family was wiped out.

Tonight was a great opportunity.

I didn't expect that little fairy

to meddle in

and save Lu Changkong.

He escaped again.

But don't worry.

I have other plans.

He won't live much longer.

You'd better keep your word.

If you ruin my plan,

I'll make you die

with him.

My lord, I failed you again,

but my loyalty to you

has never changed.

I'll wait for you

to prove that to me.

Li Yan doesn't deserve to be the emperor.

My godfather told me

that he's despicable.

How could he do that?

I heard that soldiers are searching for

those related to the Lu family with portraits.

Shall we leave for Anliang?

Before long,

the soldiers will come to the inn.

Miss, let's leave here.

We can't wait.

If I'd known I'd leave so soon,

I wouldn't have teased you.

But you started it by drawing me so ugly.

I'll return your umbrella to you.

We're even now.

So,

she never forgot me.

Kill the criminal where he's found.

Yes.

Sir, what's going on?

It seems that a criminal wanted by the court

escaped from the city.

Where did he go?

I heard that he went north.

The world is not peaceful now.

Who knows when we can leave the city?

[Wanted]

Oh no, Miss Fairy.

Hold on. I'm coming to save you.

[Song Mansion]

The servants didn't announce me

because I don't want to disturb you.

I heard that the traitor from the Lu family

kidnapped your daughter

and escaped,

and that you were worried sick

and fell ill.

His Majesty is very concerned about you

and sent me to visit you.

His Majesty is so kind.

I'm fine.

Commander Song, take care of yourself.

You're an important official of the country.

Great Chen can't thrive

without your protection.

You must stay in good health.

I'm so ashamed

that I let the traitor escape.

Compared to my daughter,

the traitor at large

worries me more.

I…

I deserve death for my mistake.

Don't worry, Commander Song.

The soldiers have started searching.

It's said that the traitor was injured.

Believe me. Within a few days,

he'll be brought to justice

and your daughter will come home.
