[Moon Love]

[Episode 22]

I wonder how Miss Zhaoyan and His Lordship are doing.

What...

What just happened?

I was lured out by a weird shadow.

I chased it to the city gate and it disappeared instantly.

A weird shadow?

Could it be that someone intentionally led you out?

Intentionally?

Do you like it here?

Yes, I do.

When I was a child, I always made wishes to the moon.

I never thought that one day

I could come to the Moon Palace.

Do you have any regrets?

I allow you to be a little greedy

and say your regrets in front of the Moon God.

My biggest regret is

that I couldn't accompany you

during the past 400 years,

leaving you alone

in this cold and lonely Moon Palace.

Zhaoyan.

do you know what is at the center of the Mirror Pool?

Let's go.

The center of the Mirror Pool is the heart of the moon.

In there,

all the wishes

of those who pray to the moon are stored.

Now, let me show you

the most beautiful wish

in my heart.

I didn't realize

I was so special to you.

You've been special to me for a long time.

My Lord, is this a common occurrence in the moon?

Not really.

I'm afraid there's trouble in the mortal world.

Well, Qingzhou...

Stay here, and I'll be right back.

Look at the moon!

Oh no! The moon is gone again!

It looks like the moon is going to be eaten!

It's a bad omen. Let's go home.

Let's go!

Hurry! Let's go!

Let's go.

Heaven Emperor.

I know what you want to ask me.

Han Ying was born with me.

He can only gain his true self

by relying on someone else's entity.

He is destined to assist me.

Thus, he has become

my weapon in the shadows for thousands of years.

Heaven Emperor.

I have confirmed

that the rumor circulating in the Heavenly Palace is true.

Rest assured.

I will alleviate your worries as I have in the past

and eliminate that pair of eyes for you.

Wait.

Do we really need to go this far?

Heaven Emperor.

You hold the highest position in the entire world.

You must not disregard the natural order.

From the beginning,

you should not have interacted with that fox demon Kui Ji.

Chang Xi's existence

is already a sign of your mercy.

But his Eyes of Bane will inevitably cause

great turmoil in the Heavenly Realm in the future.

He can't stay in the Heavenly Realm.

You are an illusory being.

How could you understand the heart of an ordinary person?

At this point, things have become like this.

I can't absolve myself from the blame.

Han Ying hurt my mother.

This time,

I absolutely won't let him escape again.

Go and do what you firmly believe is right.

Go.

Go and protect the one you love dearly.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

When His Lordship was here,

nothing weird like this ever happened.

I guess even God

is afraid of His Lordship, the Night Guard.

Do you think His Lordship will come back?

He will.

Why are you so sure?

Why am I so sure?

Though His Lordship seems to be cold-hearted and ruthless,

I know that in the past ten years,

he has always been dedicated

to Qingzhou City.

If he sees Qingzhou in its current state,

he will definitely come back.

You're right.

So do you think Yun Zhaoyan will come back too?

Without her, the Imperial Censor's Mansion is too quiet.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

She will come back too.

You know that too?

Wherever His Lordship goes,

he always has Miss Yun by his side.

Don't worry.

They will both come back.

We are going back now.

There may be troubles in Qingzhou.

Are you afraid?

No.

Before I was seven, I couldn't see anything.

After I turned seven, I have been able to see renegade immortals.

I've been through so many terrifying things.

Now, with your hand in mine,

there's nothing to be afraid of.

However,

before we go back,

I need to temporarily

seal your memories of the Moon Palace.

Because nothing from here

can be taken back to the mortal world.

You people from the Moon Palace are so petty.

You don't even leave me a single memory.

I'll never come back.

My Lady.

Why does all of this feel so familiar?

Zhaoyan.

Mother?

Come.

Mother, is it you?

Did you come back to see me?

My Little Zhaoyan has grown so much.

What's wrong?

Mother,

I miss you so much.

I've always been by your side.

But I can't see you.

You just need to remember my words forever.

Zhaoyan.

Zhaoyan?

Zhaoyan.

You're awake.

My Lord.

Here.

My Lord.

It's all over now.

I thought I would never see you again.

How could that be?

As long as you want to see me,

I will appear by your side.

That's enough.

You talked as if

you had been parted by death.

Why are you all here?

We're worried about you two.

You disappeared one moment

and then suddenly reappeared.

With you two not around,

the weather outside

has been crazy.

I'm sorry

for making you worry again.

My Lord, what should we do now?

Sorry for leaving without saying goodbye

and making you worried.

The weather is abnormal, and there will be a huge disaster.

I'm afraid I can't handle it alone.

From now on,

I'm afraid I will need your help

to protect Qingzhou.

Deputy Censor Xie.

Take the people from the Imperial Censor's Mansion

and go calm the citizens

to prevent further unrest.

Yes.

My Lord, it was my fault.

I was deceived by the illusion and chased after it,

which allowed Han Ying to take advantage

and shatter the Soul Collecting Lamp.

Han Ying is a shadow,

without form or substance.

This time, he must have devoured other renegade immortals

within the Soul Collecting Lamp, resulting in this outcome.

So, have those renegade immortals...

Don't worry.

Until the very end,

there is always hope.

Since Han Ying

is still coveting your eyes,

this time,

I won't let you get hurt again.

Forget that. Let's go home.

Go take a look.

Yes.

Is there something you want to say?

I always feel that everything happening now

seems to be related to Master.

Your master?

[Impartial and Incorruptible]

My Lord.

I think

everything happening now

might be related to my master.

What do you mean?

When I was a child, I almost died on the frontier.

He saved me, taught me martial arts,

and that's why I'm still alive today.

After we came to Qingzhou,

he first had me keep an eye on you.

Then, after discovering the abnormality in Zhaoyan,

he shifted his target to her

and repeatedly tried to hurt her.

I think this is his goal.

Is there anything special about your master?

He always wears a black robe,

and his whereabouts are unpredictable.

Although I was saved by him,

I have never

seen his true face.

Han Ying was born with me.

He has no form or substance,

so he can only rely on someone else's entity.

Your master's name is Han Ying.

He's not an ordinary person.

Naturally, it’s impossible for him

to let you see his face.

After all,

he is just a shadow.

A shadow?

I have never been allowed

to do anything beyond his orders.

I don't want to harm you or Zhaoyan,

so he wants to get rid of me.

I suppose

I am also just a shadow

that works for him.

The drastic changes in Qingzhou City

are all because of him.

We should find an opportunity

to lure him out into the open.

My Lord,

I...

I have a risky plan.

Han Ying's target is Zhaoyan.

And Zhaoyan's eyes can see things

that others cannot.

If she can help...

Enough.

I won't let Zhaoyan take the risk again.

Besides,

she has already suffered too much

because of these eyes.

I'm sorry for being reckless.

Let's talk about it later.

Why did you suddenly come to me with this?

I think

I need to end this with him.

Brother Xie.

Zhaoyan.

I need your help with something.

What is it?

Can you help me deliver this letter to the princess?

[To Princess]

[To Princess]

What is so mysterious about it?

I can pass on the message for you.

There's no need to send a letter.

It's a matter between girls,

so it’s not appropriate for you to convey it.

Alright then, I will make sure to deliver it.

You must not peek.

Don't worry.

[Governor's Mansion]

Princess,

there's a letter for you.

What?

Ren Shique is back?

And he wants to meet me at the city gate?

He left without a word

and now he’s back,

arrogantly summoning me to see him.

What's so great about him

becoming the Moon God?

What god?

Don't ask if you don't understand.

So, Governor, should we reject him?

Let's go to the city gate.

I want to meet this Ren Shique

and see how he will explain himself.

I'd like to know

if he still acknowledges me as the city governor!

Xiaocha, get the carriage ready.

Let's take the shortcut to the Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Yes.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

My Lord!

Bad news, My Lord!

What happened?

The princess said

that the city governor has invited you to meet at the city gate.

It looks like he wants to accuse you of something.

What's there to be afraid of?

My Lord, don't mind him.

Never mind.

Since I'm back,

I should inform him anyway.

I'll be right back.

Stay and guard the Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Yes.

Let me see you out.

Be careful, My Lord.

Come in.

Stop looking. No one is here.

Hurry up.

Ren Shique has already gone to the city gate for the meeting.

Are you really going to risk yourself as bait?

Doing so

might cost you your life.

I have no other choice.

Qingzhou is already in peril due to these eyes,

with strange phenomena and imminent danger.

I cannot hide under protection.

I had to trick His Lordship into leaving to lure Han Ying into the trap.

Don't worry.

If there’s any danger later,

I will handle it.

Yun Zhaoyan,

today, I'll be there for our appointment.

What has been happening lately?

The weather has become increasingly strange.

Didn't you see how terrifyingly dark

the moon was last night?

Let's go. Something might happen tonight.

Let's go.

My Lord.

Why are you here?

I'm here for my appointment with the city governor.

I found it a few days ago

while searching in the Moon God Temple.

It should be useful.

It looks like you have completely

severed ties with your master.

I can’t let innocent people

get involved anymore.

Yun Zhaoyan,

are you sure that Han Ying will really be

particularly interested in you?

I'm so special

and easily noticeable in this open area.

He should be able to notice me.

You overestimated yourself again, didn't you?

Oh no, I want to leave.

I want to leave too.

You...

You can't leave. You are the bait.

But I suddenly remember

that my mother said one should not act rashly.

Is that all your mother told you?

There were other things, but I can't remember them.

That's the direction of the Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Could it be

that Zhaoyan is really using herself as bait

to lure Han Ying out?

Let's go.

Yun Zhaoyan,

you deliberately led me here.

Does this mean you have made up your mind?

Yun Zhaoyan,

this time it's my turn to protect you!

You overestimated yourself.

I'm telling you, stop trying to scare me.

I've seen many renegade immortals like you.

His Lordship will be here soon

to execute you.

The city is in darkness right now.

He has no time to protect you.

How about

I take your eyes right now?

My Lord!

Are you alright?

Princess.

Princess!

My Lord!

Chang Xi,

do you still think I am the shadow I used to be?

You can't destroy me.

Where I exist,

one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.

Renegade immortals, heed my command!

Kill the Moon God!

Chang Xi,

you want to protect Qingzhou,

but can you bear

the weight of the world's sins?

Lin Nian!

Do you remember

that Mrs. Lu said

there is no mother in the world

who doesn't care for her child?

Yiling!

Do you remember Sister Tianyu,

who threw herself into the fire to save you?

Daohuang!

His Lordship is the one

you all wanted me to protect with all my might!

Shut up!

Focus and listen to my order!

Mortals, stay away!

Yun Zhaoyan!

You are just a mortal.

Do you think you can influence renegade immortals with words?

That's pure delusion!

Chang Xi,

stop resisting.

Today will be the day you die!

Nuo.

The person who lives in my heart

is right in front of you.

Bi Luo.

Wanwan.

Lin Nian.

Daohuang.

Huixin.

Jing Ting.

Don't forget your true selves.

The people who care about you are still here.

Don't you remember?

My Lady.

Why does all of this feel so familiar?

Zhaoyan.

Mother?

Come.

Mother, I miss you so much.

Zhaoyan.

You are a big girl now.

You shouldn't cling to your mother.

Father?

Zhaoyan,

your father and I are very proud

that you can face everything in this world

while we are not around.

But this world is truly terrifying.

Is it still terrifying when your loved one is by your side?

I have met the person

who made me face my fears with kindness.

Father, Mother,

you must not leave me again.

Silly girl, you still have a long way to go.

As long as you always remember my words

and keep kindness in your heart,

one day,

the kindness will return to you.

My Lord!

Step aside! You renegade immortals!

Do you really want to be completely disintegrated

for this mere mortal?

This Bronze Rod is a weapon

forged by Heaven Emperor himself,

imbued with the essence of the sun and moon.

It can cut down traitors and rebels.

Thank you.

♫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♫

-My Lord! -Zhaoyan.

Are you alright?

I didn't expect

that in the end, it was they who saved me.

My lord,

Han Ying has not dissipated yet.

Nine phases can achieve completion, and eight phases have returned.

Now,

I have lost my physical form forever.

Then I shall end it all with my self-destruction,

leaving one phase of the nine incomplete.

This world will lose the balance of yin and yang,

the tides will be in disarray,

and there will never be a time of completion.

It turns out Miss Zhaoyan has already gotten the hairpin.

But why didn't she tell His Lordship?

My Lady.

Why does all of this

feel so familiar?

Zhaoyan.

Mother?

Come.

Mother, is it you?

Did you come back to see me?

My Little Zhaoyan has grown so much.

What's wrong?

Mother, I miss you so much.

I've always been by your side.

But I can't see you.

Silly girl.

Zhaoyan.

You are a big girl now.

You shouldn't cling to your mother.

Father?

Zhaoyan,

your father and I are very proud

that you can face everything in this world

while we are not around.

But this world is truly terrifying.

Is it still terrifying when your loved one is by your side?

I have met the person

who made me face my fears with kindness.

My Little Zhaoyan has become so brave.

Father, Mother,

you must not leave me again.

Silly girl,

you still have a long way to go.

As long as you always remember my words

and keep kindness in your heart,

one day,

the kindness will return to you.

We will always be with you.

Zhaoyan,

hold the hand of the one by your side tightly,

and be braver.
