[Moon Love]

[Episode 20]

By the way,

why did you come to her late at night?

Don't you think

being with her is tiring?

I see.

Ask Yun Zhaoyan to come out

and have a word with me.

She's fine.

You can just go back.

Do you know

how I made Bi Luo disappear back then?

How?

I'll tell you now.

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

♫We meet and part, coming to nothing♫

♫Regardless of the chaos and fate♫

♫I only love you with deep affection♫

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

♫I dare not face so much sorrow♫

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

♫I want to hear you talk about romantic things♫

Yun Zhaoyan.

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

No renegade immortals

dare to approach you now, right?

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

Can I

have a proper word with Yun Zhaoyan now?

♫I'd rather endure numerous hardships with all my courage♫

Didn't we agree

♫I won't retreat, I'll swallow the regrets♫

that no matter what happens,

we'll bear it together?

Are you willing

♫In the cold moonlight, I put on clothes for you♫

to let everything just end like this?

♫The brush strokes may fade, but the love remains unchanged♫

♫We keep each other company hand in hand, leaving everything behind♫

Just now,

I seemed to be possessed by something.

♫We live a happy and leisurely life in this world♫

Now,

it's gone.

I'm glad you're okay.

My Lord,

when are you going back?

I'll leave

when you fall asleep.

What?

You can't sleep?

You can hold my hand.

No, thanks.

Why are you looking at me?

Go to sleep.

You're battered and bruised all over,

and yet you're still willing to stay by my side.

My Lord,

you make me feel

even if I'm always a jinx,

I can still live a life

without fear every day.

Yun Zhaoyan,

you're the first one who made me believe

that I could be someone else's talisman

and that I deserve

to be protected like this.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

Zhaoyan.

Brother Xie.

You seem to be in a good mood.

I think you and His Lordship have already...

Sort of.

A friend told me

that life is short,

so don't leave yourself any regrets.

After hearing it, I also think

I should cherish my time with His Lordship.

Life is short.

Don't leave any regrets.

Brother Xie, you've been driven by others all your life.

Now,

you should live for yourself.

Take a good look at the person who can only see you in her eyes.

The person who can only see me?

Who are you?

Why did you break into the Imperial Censor's Mansion at night?

I didn't know you were choosing a husband, Princess.

If I offended you,

please forgive me.

Then, Princess, what do you think

a couple with mutual affection should behave like?

At least they should be like us.

Xie Guichen,

leave yourself to me.

Then, you must remember

you still owe me a favor.

In your heart,

there should be Princess there, right?

I don't know why,

but after I met her and we missed each other,

I feel so sad.

Now that you feel sad that you missed each other,

then why does the difference in status matter?

If you don't seize the chance now,

you'll regret it later.

I...

Brother Xie.

We are kind of in the same boat.

Today,

that's all I'll say.

Anyway,

you must cherish the person

who's willing to spend the rest of her life with you.

Why do you sound

as if

we will not see each other again?

How could it be?

I'll go back to the Qingbing Warehouse.

[Qingbing Warehouse]

My Lord.

Actually, I have received the hairpin.

I like it so much.

Thank you, my Lord.

No, no.

I appreciate your kindness, my Lord.

This sounds too distant.

Yun Zhaoyan.

Princess wants to talk to you about something important at Zuiyin Tavern.

Zuiyin Tavern?

Please.

Thanks.

You called me here

just for this?

You really take my work in the Imperial Censor's Mansion

as a joke.

We're supposed to

protect the peace of Qingzhou City.

But if you didn't come to accompany me today,

Qingzhou City would

probably never know peace.

Aren't you going to drink with me?

I really can't.

When I get weak,

it'll be dangerous for me.

Don't drink too much.

I'm more dangerous now.

Xie Guichen

didn't go with me.

I was rejected.

Don't worry.

I think

there's still a chance.

You...

Do you think I still have a chance?

Yes.

I still trust you,

who won't give up until you get what you want.

The laurel hairpin on your head is so pretty.

Where did you buy it?

This…

His Lordship gave it to me.

I might as well drink.

So handsome!

What's so bustling outside?

He's so handsome.

So handsome.

He's both talented and handsome.

Isn't that the socialite Han Lu from Shengjing?

Welcome, Mr. Han.

Recently,

he has frequented the Governor's Mansion.

I wonder what he's up to.

Kui Ji.

What Ji?

Could he see Kui Ji?

Yun Zhaoyan, why did you run away?

I have something to do. I have to go.

Yun Zhaoyan.

You ran away first this time.

Kui Ji!

Kui Ji!

Where is she?

[Zuiyin Tavern]

Xie Guichen!

Ren Shique.

I didn't call you. Why are you here?

Where's Yun Zhaoyan?

She...

She can't beat me in drinking,

so she ran away.

She's indeed not as good as me.

Don't move!

Don't move!

I'll go get her.

My Lord.

Look what Princess is like…

We really dare not…

Go to the Imperial Censor's Mansion to find Deputy Censor Xie.

He'll have a way.

Yes.

[Moon God Temple]

Why is a crescent

so dazzling for me now?

Han Ying.

We meet again.

You are Kui Ji.

It seems that you still remember me.

You evil fox

who doesn't know right or wrong.

When Chang Xi's eyes showed signs of abnormality,

you tried your best to conceal them.

You even trapped me with your power

in the Soul Collecting Lamp and stripped me of freedom

for hundreds of years.

Today, I will suppress you

in the Soul Collecting Lamp with my body.

No one can hurt Chang Xi anymore.

Thanks to you,

After I've lost hundreds of years of freedom and become a renegade immortal,

I'm still a shadow.

You have caused chaos at the Heavenly Realm.

You will never end well.

Chang Xi was the child of the Heaven Emperor and me.

He is the favored son of Heaven.

Just because his eyes can distinguish the six bodies

and recognize the different desires,

should he be destroyed?

Desires are born from the heart.

Good brings good, and evil brings evil.

It has nothing to do with those eyes.

Easy for you to say.

If you look at everything with evil eyes,

then everything you see is evil.

If you look at things with despicable eyes,

how can you see a fair and just thing?

If you go on like this,

immortals in the Heavenly Realm will distrust one another

and never have peace.

A shadow is a shadow.

You're so good at

bewitching all beings with grandiose platitudes.

You must have learned it from Heaven Emperor, right?

What a pity.

But you, as a shadow,

just scratched the surface of it.

Later, I found

what you were afraid of

was not the scandals of the Heavenly Realm being exposed

but

your inferiority complex and ambition being exposed.

Kui Ji,

what are you babbling about?

For thousands of years,

your heart has drowned in the abyss.

You just want to drag everything into the darkness.

On the surface,

you're the Heaven Emperor's secret pawn.

In fact,

you want more power

and you want to be seen, discovered, and respected.

That should be the basic desire

of a shadow.

This is what you see

with your despicable eyes.

Despicable?

No one in the Heavenly Realm

wants this pair of despicable eyes

more than you do.

The more you feel inferior,

the more scared you are.

The more scared you are,

the more you want to know

how others think of you,

and the more you want to control everything.

You want to control everything you can't do

since you were little.

Kui Ji,

are you really willing

to vanish completely

for this insignificant mortal woman?

This woman in the mortal world

She's a mortal woman,

but she can fill the void

in Chang Xi's heart and comfort him.

Fine.

I'll grant your wish.

Kui Ji,

it is a worthy death for you

because you owed me this.

But let me tell you,

I won't tolerate any sins.

Yun Zhaoyan.

It's your turn now.

Your biggest mistake

is to pray for those sinful eyes.

God Taiyin.

That is just a puppet I made

in the likeness of the humans.

What?

Can't you even recognize a puppet now?

Who are you?

I'm the shadow brother of Heaven Emperor,

Han Ying.

You're born to be different.

Plus, you had a pair of

unpardonable eyes.

No matter who has them,

I will

take them away.

My Lord.

[Moon God Temple]

Are you okay?

My Lord.

Kui Ji.

Kui Ji left.

She was blocking in front of me,

but there was nothing I could do.

She had never thought of hurting you.

Her love for her son wasn't accepted.

Zhaoyan,

listen to me.

Don't blame yourself.

You are the one

who untied the emotional knots

between my mother and me.

It's your own eyes

that helped you.

Zhaoyan!

Zhaoyan!

Zhaoyan!

Zhaoyan.

Can you hear me?

Zhaoyan, wake up.

Zhaoyan.

My Lord.

What's wrong with Miss Zhaoyan?

She's severely injured.

This...

Miss Zhaoyan's scar

is like a red brand.

Could it be...

the Bronze Rod that caused it?

The Bronze Rod?

The Bronze Rod

is a weapon forged by the Heaven Emperor himself.

It is born by absorbing the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon.

It can kill the wicked and the heretics.

Why did it appear suddenly

and even hurt Miss Zhaoyan?

Have you heard of

Heaven Emperor's twin brother, Han Ying?

There is indeed a rumor in Heavenly Realm

saying that Heaven Emperor had a twin brother,

but no one has ever seen him.

Does he really exist?

He's the mastermind who bewitched my mother.

He has no shape or body

and has been in the dark,

following the Heaven Emperor's orders.

To protect Zhaoyan,

my mother

has already...

Is Kui Ji...

Is there any way

to heal this wound?

The Bronze Rod can kill an immortal with one blow,

let alone a human.

Miss Zhaoyan has been able to survive until now.

She must be protected by your eyes.

But judging by her current status,

she'll probably...

Kanxu.

As an old official of the Heavenly Realm,

you must know

or have heard of the way to rescue her, right?

I'm afraid the only person who can save Miss Zhaoyan

is the Heaven Emperor.

Heaven Emperor.

Fine.

I'll go beg the Heaven Emperor.

My Lord.

It takes days

for you to go there and come back.

Whether the Heaven Emperor is going to save her is also unknown.

Can Miss Zhaoyan hold on

until the day you come back?

I won't let anything happen to her.

Now,

it's my turn to protect her.

I'm taking her back to the Heavenly Palace.

If the Heaven Emperor doesn't save her,

the worst scenario

would be just like what I did in the Heavenly Palace back then,

that I'll rebel.

My Lord!

Kanxu, you...

Bringing a mortal to the Heavenly Realm

is against Heaven's law.

No one ever dared to do that.

Moreover, Miss Zhaoyan is a mortal.

she may not be able to withstand the fairy aura

and the criticism of all immortals.

My Lord!

I won't let anyone hurt her.

Could those so-called heavenly rules

be more important than her life?

Those old rules

should have been altered.

Come on, Kanxu.

Han Ying has escaped.

Guard the Soul Collecting Lamp

and wait for us.

My Lord.

Don't be so anxious, Mr. Governor.

Miss Yun went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet.

How can I not be anxious?

Qing went out all night and didn't come back.

Get Yun Zhaoyan out

for me.

Imperial Censor.

You...

Zhaoyan, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Did you hear it all?

He made it sound serious.

Don't take it to heart.

Let me send you back first.

I...

No need.

I can go back by myself.

I'm fine.

Yun Zhaoyan.

Princess wants to talk to you about something important at Zuiyin Tavern.

Zuiyin Tavern?

[Zuiyin Tavern]

Xie Guichen!

Ren Shique.

I didn't call you. Why are you here?

Where is Yun Zhaoyan?

She...

She can't beat me in drinking,

so she ran away.

She's indeed not as good as me.

Don't move!

I'll go get her back.

My Lord.

Look

what Princess is like…

We really dare not…

Go to the Imperial Censor's Mansion to find Deputy Censor Xie.

He'll have a way.

Yes.
