[Moon Love]

[Episode 16]

It's late at night.

Why are you in the morgue?

[Bi Luo]

Are you homeless?

If so,

how about

you stay here tonight?

She is so strange.

Why would she spend the night in the morgue?

But it's so late.

I can let her stay her tonight.

Miss.

Aren't you going to bed?

Okay.

I'm going to bed.

Make yourself at home.

Miss.

It's early in the morning.

Why are you staring at me?

[Zong Nan and Bi Luo are lawfully wedded today.]

So your name is

Bi Luo.

[Zong Nan and Bi Luo are lawfully wedded today.]

Liu Zong is your husband.

You want me to help you find him?

I often help people.

Let me go to

Imperial Censor's Mansion and find some documents to see where Liu Zhi may be today.

But Imperial Censor

doesn't want strangers to enter his mansion.

Just wait for me here.

It's late.

I'm going to work in Imperial Censor's Mansion.

You stay here.

Slow down.

You are a renegade immortal!

I've never seen

a renegade immortal who is so beautiful and lifelike.

You're not as scary as other renegade immortals.

Marriage counseling.

I can tell you information about the fate of your marriage.

I can tell you information about the fate of your marriage.

What would you like to know, Miss?

I want to know the whereabouts

of a friend from 20 years ago.

I'd also like to know whether we'll meet again.

Miss, please pick a stick.

Sir, what does it say?

The bright moon is in the clear sky.

You'll meet again at a banquet.

The person you're looking for

can be found

in the area within a hundred mile radius.

He'll show up at a banquet.

The way to find him is hidden in the bright moon in the blue sky.

I think I've understood it

but I'm not sure.

[Yihong Brothel]

Isn't he Mr. Drunkard?

Why is he drunk again?

You don't know

that once the Plum Blossom Song is played on the stage,

he'll get too much.

My father told me

[Liu Zong]

this stanza of Song of Lady Jade

was written by this lunatic

for his ex-girlfriend.

Later,

his ex-girlfriend took poison and committed suicide.

Since then, he's developed a habit to come to brothels every day.

He couldn't get over his ex.

Oftentimes,

he gets so drunk

that he doesn't remember what his last name is.

So everyone calls him Mr. Drunkard.

Your father told you the story?

Looks like

you've inherited your father's habit

to go to a brothel often

and listen to songs there.

Nonsense.

What are you doing?

Is that you?

I missed you so much.

But I dare not look for you.

Why are you holding me?

I'm not a woman.

Why is he crazy again?

Just think of him as a joke.

Stop watching.

Guards!

Get him out of here.

Hurry up. Get him out of here.

Go.

Get him out of here.

Take him away.

Wait for me on the way to the underworld.

I'm coming soon.

If he had known he would be so sad, he shouldn't have been that happy.

Please go on drinking. Enjoy yourselves.

He is so drunk.

Come on, Bai.

Let's go on drinking

and enjoy the music.

Come on.

Stop following me.

I'm going to Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Imperial Censor is there.

I'm sure you don't want to see him.

You shouldn't believe everything the divination stick says.

After all, he's your husband.

You have to believe

that you'll find him.

All right.

I'll help you.

Stop following me.

Miss Zhaoyan is running so fast.

Did she meet a renegade immortal again?

My Lord, don't worry.

The renegade immortals will stay away from you

if they know you're nearby.

Miss Zhaoyan will be fine.

Looks like

she doesn't

need my protection that much now.

My Lord.

Miss Zhaoyan

doesn't need your protection anymore.

This is good news

for you and her.

The moon phase is going to be complete.

You should prepare to leave

so that Miss Zhaoyan won't have any expectations.

Otherwise,

she'll be very disappointed in the end.

Kanxu.

You're really weird.

In the past,

you always

tried to make me and her stay together.

But why

are you telling me to stay away from her now?

This...

I've served you for hundreds of years.

I know your situation

and your experiences very well.

I used to be naive.

Now,

I need to think about what is the best for you.

In your opinion,

how can I

have not much to do

with the mortal world

and at the same time

make Yun Zhaoyan feel safe in the future?

How about you

give Miss Zhaoyan something that can protect her before you leave?

Then tell me

on the moon,

what is the most magical thing?

It's my branch of the laurel tree.

The tree has been absorbing the energy of the moon for lots of years.

Any evil spirit

will stay away from it once they see it.

My Lord.

Are you trying to let me...

No way.

You can make her feel safe.

But don't hurt me.

My Lord.

Let go of me!

What are you doing, My Lord?

My Lord.

Are you really going to give this hair stick to Miss Zhaoyan?

I didn't say that.

I...

My Lord...

My Lord, are you resting?

Come on in.

My Lord, excuse me for disturbing you.

I want you

to do me a small favor.

But don't tell Guigui about it.

He said you were resting

and he didn't want me to disturb you.

Guigui told her about it?

I...

It's not because I'm worried about you.

And I haven't decided whether to give it to you.

Give it to me?

Give me what?

Something...

Something like a talisman.

A talisman?

I don't understand

what you're saying.

Looks like

Guigui hasn't told her about it yet.

What brings you here?

Are you pestered by a renegade immortal again?

You're amazing.

Your guess is right.

But this time,

the renegade immortal is so beautiful.

She's not as fierce as the renegade immortals I used to meet.

In the world, if all people

judge whether a person is good or bad by their appearances,

then I wouldn't let you be beside me

when I first saw you.

My Lord, how could you say that?

After all,

I have eyes given by you.

I don't think

I'm that ugly.

Well,

can you draw a painting for me?

You want me to draw the renegade immortal for you?

No, I want you to draw a human.

The renegade immortal's name is Bi Luo.

She's looking for her husband.

So I want to

take a painting of him with me and go to Yihong Brothel to ask about him.

Maybe someone there knows about him.

Yihong Brothel?

You...

If you go there,

you'll get into trouble.

Let me go with you.

No.

If you go with me,

Bi Luo won't go with me.

I can go there alone.

Yun Zhaoyan.

Are you refusing to let me go with you?

I...

I have my reasons that I cannot tell you.

I will never cause any trouble for Imperial Censor's Mansion.

My Lord.

Her husband's name

is Liu Zong.

His eyes are like stars.

His eyebrows are like willow leaves.

My Lord.

You're trying too hard.

You should be drawing like this.

Look.

Because you're beside me,

I made mistakes.

Keep a distance from me.

I thought

the mighty Moon God

had excellent drawing skills.

Are you

looking down on gods?

Then draw it yourself.

No, you go on drawing.

Miss Yun.

Yihong Brothel is so big.

So many men have come and gone over the years.

With only this painting,

I don't know who you're looking for.

Ms. Lian.

Please take a closer look.

Well,

this painting

shows what Liu Zong looked like 20 years ago.

He should be a middle-aged man now.

Think harder.

Miss Yun, why didn't you tell me this earlier?

How would I know

what happened 20 years ago?

I'm still quite young.

Take it away. Be good.

I'm going to serve the customers later.

Well...

Think hard about it.

Back then,

was there a top beauty named Bi Luo here?

Bi Luo?

Did it ring a bell?

There seemed to be a beautiful love story about her back then.

It's said 20 years ago,

there was a top beauty who was very famous in Shengjing.

Her name was Bi Luo.

I don't know anything else.

I'm busy right now.

How about this? You go to the door and ask the guy who writes storybooks.

He used to live Shengjing and he knows a lot about what happened there.

He remembers all the anecdotes there.

I'm going to serve the customers later.

Be good.

I'll ask him. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Sir,

do you have storybooks

about what happened in Goulan House in Shengjing?

What?

Goulan House.

A story of pity?

My storybooks are all about pities.

Really?

Do you know

a girl

named Bi Luo from 20 years ago?

Bi Luo?

Yes.

Here.

Her story and the information of people involved are in this storybook.

Bi Luo used to be the top beauty in Goulan House.

She was excellent at playing the Guqin.

That made her more attractive.

One day, Bi Luo was playing the Guqin

when a handsome man came.

Their music was in harmony.

The music of the Guqin and the flute was melodious.

As time went by, the love between them grew stronger and stronger.

In the end, they told each other their feelings for each other.

Then petals fell from the sky.

They hugged each other

and decided to spend the rest of their lives together.

However, the happy ending didn't last long.

When Liu Zong's family found out about their relationship,

they forced them to break up.

They had no choice

but to commit suicide by drinking poison,

hoping to die together.

How did you know these stories?

An old friend of mine told me the stories.

Who is the old friend?

He told me the story.

And he was in the story.

The person who told him the story

was also a man in the story.

Could it be that Liu Zong

didn't die back then?

Sir.

Please give this letter

to the old friend of Bi Luo

and tell him

that I'll meet him at the Broken Bridge beside Yihong Brothel tonight.

That person has gone to Shengjing.

Don't come to

disturb me again in the future.

Shengjing?

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

Bi Luo.

I now know

where the person you're looking for is.

But

he has gone to Shengjing.

Is it because you promised to see him there?

Shengjing...

I can't go with you to Shengjing.

Bi Luo.

I really can't go with you.

Because

the person I want to protect

is in Qingzhou.

My Lord.

Deputy Censor Xie, anything to report?

My Lord.

Can Zhaoyan

see things

that others can't see?

Why are you asking this?

I just want to know

whether that's why

you keep her by your side.

Does

the mastermind want to know about this?

Since Zhaoyan

is so special to you,

then please treat her well

and try your best to protect her.

What do you mean?

It's all because of me.

Zhaoyan may be in danger.

So please protect her, My Lord.

My Lord.

You haven't

given her the laurel hair stick?

I still don't know how to give it to her.

Kanxu.

I think

I can't stop worrying about her.

Xie Guichen came to me just now.

He asked me to protect Yun Zhaoyan.

I wanted to refuse.

But no matter what,

I was unable to say to him

that I wouldn't protect her.

From the bottom of my heart,

I want to protect Yun Zhaoyan.

Kanxu.

I'm afraid

to me

she's no longer

just a bait.

I don't know when

I started to think

it's not bad to stay in the mortal world.

The mortal world is different from Guanghan Palace.

There's hustle and bustle

and love and friendship in the mortal world.

She's also in the mortal world.

In the past,

she tried so hard to be close to me.

Now,

I want to take a step towards her

even if the consequences

are disastrous.

If

♫It's hard to distinguish what's good and what's evil, and it's hard to love or hate someone♫

you can make all the withered flowers

in the garden

bloom at the same time,

I'll allow you

to take shelter beside me occasionally.

♫We meet and part, coming to nothing♫

♫Regardless of the chaos and fate♫

My Lord, the flowers are blooming.

♫I only love you with deep affection♫

You must be familiar with Yun Zhaoyan.

♫I'm a lonely person and tears trickle down my face♫

I'll put the laurel hair stick here.

Don't let others see it.

♫I dare not face so much sorrow♫

As to whether Yun Zhaoyan will see it,

♫Puzzled, I'm too sad to play the guqin under the moon♫

it will depend on our fate.

♫I want to hear you talk about romantic things♫

♫In the cold moonlight, I'm willing to go to you♫

♫In the dim worldly affairs, my heart warms for one person♫

Kui Ji.

Are you here today

to tell me who the mastermind is?

You won't tell me

because you need to protect His Lordship?

The mastermind is a horrible person?

He's doing that

to maintain the stability of Heavenly Realm

and there's no way to stop him?

What he's doing will make His Lordship lose everything?

But if you don't tell him the truth,

he will hate you forever.

When His Lordship was in the Moon Palace,

he encountered misfortune because of a pair of eyes.

Now His Lordship and I are very close.

His Lordship will get into trouble again

because of me.

My eyes

pose the greatest threat to His Lordship.

Didn't she see it?

How come my eyes

can't even see a hair stick?

Could it be

that I hid it too well?

Let's go to Shengjing tomorrow.

I'll go find Liu Zong with you.

You can stay here tonight.

His Lordship.

His Lordship.

Miss Zhaoyan has left.

This is her resignation letter to the imperial censor.

[Do good things and don't ask about the future. From Yun Zhaoyan]

[I'm not capable enough. I hereby resign from my position as the custodian of Imperial Censor's Mansion's Qingbing Warehouse. Please allow me to quit.]

She left

but she didn't mention the reason for it at all.

She didn't mention me either.

♫In my dream♫

♫I jumped and forgot myself♫

♫Hearing whispers of mountains and rivers in the mortal world♫

♫The sea is infinite, and I returned to this old place♫

♫Mayflies are most afraid of being affectionate♫

♫They spend the rest of their lives separately♫

♫Our fleeting encounter♫

♫Has disappeared amid reincarnation♫

♫The wind blows, reflecting everyone's loneliness♫

My Lord.

I'm so lucky

♫The ripples at dawn♫

to have met you.

♫The date of return on the other side♫

♫I'm waiting for my own answer to my own question♫

♫The sea of clouds drifts in this world and suddenly goes away all because of you♫

[Shengjing]

This is

where you and Liu Zong fell in love?

You want me to try this on for you?

I can't.

It's impolite for us

to sneak into someone else's room.

That's the person you've been looking for?

What? Yun Zhaoyan has left?

Ren Shique.

Is it because you always so cruel

and distant to Yun Zhaoyan

that she can't stand it anymore

and decided to leave?

Come down first.

Don't diver my attention to something else.

Don't deny your responsibilities.

Fine.

I won't ask you now.

Xie Guichen.

Is what you said true?

Yun Zhaoyan

is in danger

and she's afraid she'll get others into trouble

so

she's made the same decision she made ten years ago

to leave Qingzhou City?

Now,

you still won't tell us

who the mastermind is?

It's my master.

Ten years ago,

he adopted me.

I owe him a lot.

He brought me up.

So I always listened to him and obeyed his orders.

Then

he asked me to search for you everywhere.

Later, I found that you were in Qingzhou

and you lost your sight.

So when Governor

sending a deputy censor,

I took the chance and sneaked into Imperial Censor's Mansion.

I investigated your whereabouts secretly

and found that you had a special relationship with Zhaoyan.

So I told Master about it.

I didn't expect

my master then targeted at Zhaoyan.

I tried my best to stop him but in vain.

Right now,

I can't find his whereabouts.

Who is your master?

I've never seen his face.

All these years,

he sometimes appeared in fogs

and sometimes wore a black robe.

He didn't allow me to ask questions

or get close to him.

I could only follow his instructions.

All these years,

you must have had a hard time.

That's not important.

So

Yun Zhaoyan felt she was in danger

so she left?

She's really...

Well,

I'll send my men

to search for Zhaoyan

along the waterway.

I'll go with you.

By the way, Ren Shique.

Yun Zhaoyan's feelings for you

are far more than gratitude to you

as she said.

So if you see her again,

make sure she won't do things like this again.

This has been my first time to ask you to do something

since you came to Qingzhou.

You must do it well.

What Yun Zhaoyan felt

is the danger

that Kui Ji cannot tell?

Sir, do you have storybooks

of stories happened in Goulan House in Shengjing?

What?

Goulan House?

Pity?

These storybooks are all about stories of pity.

Really?

Do you know

a girl named Bi Luo from 20 years ago?

Bi Luo?

I know.

Her story is in this book.

Her story and the information of people involved are in the storybook.

How did you know these stories?

An old friend told me the stories.

An old friend?

Who is the old friend?

He told me the story.

And he was in the story.

Miss.

Stand aside. I need to do business here.

If she behaves like this,

I'm afraid she'll cause trouble again.

Guigui.

Miss Zhaoyan.

My Lord, why are you here?

I was passing by.

You stopped at Yihong Brothel by coincidence?

You're an attendant. You have no right to question me.

Besides,

you're a girl. Why do you often come here?

Oh, I came here to deal with something.

I'm heading to the suburbs of the city, so I'll be going now.

Stop!

Is there anything else?

Get in.

Why does His Lordship look weird?

Is he still unhappy about the what happened in Moon God Temple the other day?

Yun Zhaoyan.

Be quiet.

I'm satisfied

that I can look at His Lordship this way.
