[Moon Love]

[Episode 23]

My Lord.

Brother, what took you so long?

You won't believe it.

You have no idea how difficult it was

to find the right direction in the city.

When the fog finally lifted,

I found

I got lost.

To my surprise,

a guy

suddenly came to me

and insisted on giving me the lamp.

Stop there.

I'm here.

You...

You asked me to stop?

How dare you speak to me like that?

You're so like him.

You're really like him.

Like whom?

Like the city governor?

Wait.

What do you mean?

Give this

to Lord Ren Shique.

Why should I...

He asked me to give this to Ren Shique.

I questioned him

why I should do it.

Then he just disappeared.

How come there is someone

exactly like Ren Shique?

People are getting ruder and ruder.

Nowadays,

nobody respects me.

Looks like you saw

the noblest person in the world just now.

How come

your tone of voice is exactly like that person's?

In my city,

there should be no others

who disrespect me anymore.

The imperial censor alone

is so difficult to deal with.

Ren Shique.

You're responsible

for protecting

Qingzhou City.

Let's go.

The fog has lifted.

The sun shows up.

Go away, go away.

You're so naughty.

The next time the Heavenly Dog eats the moon,

the Dog will come to the mortal world and eat you too.

Let's go.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

Let's go.

The Heavenly Dog will eat the moon.

W-W-Well.

Qingzhou was in danger in the past few days.

It was His Lordship

who saved everyone in the city.

But...

Everyone in the city

only remembers that the moon was covered by the dark fog.

They didn't thank His Lordship at all.

His Lordship always keeps a low profile when doing good deeds.

So oftentimes, no one in Qingzhou City

is aware of what His Lordship did for them.

Because of the phenomenon of the Heavenly Dog eating the moon,

the Qingzhou City was in the dark all the time.

Everyone will always be afraid that'll happen again.

To be honest,

when the dark fog covered the moon,

I was so s-s-scared.

Let me tell you.

Well...

W-W-Why

was the dark fog called Heavenly Dog?

Because

t-t-the dark fog

ate like a dog.

Bei Wu.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

How dare you call me a dog?

The moon phases will be complete only when all the nine moon phases are reinstated.

But now only eight moon phases are reinstated.

Then I will destroy myself

so that the ninth moon phase

will always be absent.

Then the balance of Yin and Yang in the world will be broken.

The tides will come in an disorderly manner.

The moon phase will never be complete.

Zhaoyan.

Now all the renegade immortals in Qingzhou City

are back to their places.

You may rest assured for a while.

Now,

is there anything you want to do?

There is one.

Okay.

Let's do it now.

Wait.

It's not something I'll do with you.

Then with whom?

I have my own plan.

[Morgue]

Now

I know what wine tastes like.

Do you know

what was the thing I was the unhappiest about

after I saw those scary things?

What was it?

Well, it was that

no matter how much trouble I encountered in my life,

I couldn't drown my sorrows,

or cry aloud,

or feel down and get sick.

Didn't you say you found your talisman

when you just arrived in Qingzhou?

Now,

you can drink as much as you want to.

You can cry whenever you want

and do whatever you want to do.

He's here anyway.

Whatever demons come to you,

you don't have to be afraid.

If things were that simple,

it would be great.

Why did His Lordship

look so worried today?

Look at you.

In the past,

you hid yourself where others couldn't find you out of fear

and you were very careful.

Now you two are a couple.

How come you still do the same?

Because

I saw something scary.

But don't worry.

I'm not that coward I used to be anymore.

Now,

all the good things

have been kept in my heart.

I'm not that ignorant poor thing

I used to be anymore.

What are you talking about?

What you are saying is weird.

It's rare for us to have a drink.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I...

I think I've seen something scary too.

Could it be the renegade immortal who is taking the last vacant position?

Where is it? Where is it?

Where is it?

What renegade immortal?

Don't be afraid.

It's not a big deal.

I'm not afraid.

I'm hugging you

because I'm afraid you're afraid.

Don't worry.

I'll protect you from now on.

I can't be afraid.

I shouldn't let

His Lordship worry about me.

I shouldn't let him worry about me.

Why are you still following me?

How many times have I told you?

Stop following me.

You've become a renegade immortal.

Why do you

still have to make a wish on the moon?

I'm going to Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Do you know who lives there?

If I tell you,

you'll be scared to death.

Then...

Why are you going to

Imperial Censor's Mansion?

I'm going to Imperial Censor's Mansion

to find my beloved boyfriend.

You look so drunk.

Aren't you afraid he'll scold you for that?

So you're a renegade immortal who can speak.

And you have a beautiful voice.

Let me see what you look like.

I didn't expect you to be such a handsome renegade immortal.

Why didn't you come to me earlier?

Now I'm looking at you

and I feel...

You look a bit like...

Like...

This is

the first thing you want to do?

You even wanted to flirt with a renegade immortal.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

Yun Zhaoyan.

Were you

possessed by a renegade immortal again last night?

Why did you go into my inner hall without permission again?

I...

I...

Why am I here?

You've changed.

In the past, when you slept here,

you were so happy.

But now,

you just panicked.

Could it be that

you came across a handsome renegade immortal on the street

so you wanted to be in love with him instead of me?

I...

I...

I really don't remember anything.

Last night,

I was in the morgue.

All right.

You were drunk last night.

And you kept asking

the renegade immortal to stop following you.

I was drunk?

Last night,

did I scare others again?

Thanks to me,

I was with you and I brought you back.

Fortunately, you were there.

How was I

last night?

Last night,

I felt so bad.

You used all kinds of methods

to see

if I could resist the temptation.

My Lord.

Can I drink the tea in your hand?

Wake up.

Zhaoyan.

Zhaoyan.

My Lord.

Don't leave me.

If you leave,

I will

miss you very much.

Although we don't know

what will happen in the future...

So last night,

I was being weird again.

You played so many tricks.

I almost...

You almost...

I...

Forget it.

Get up and get dressed.

I didn't

do anything improper last night, right?

Yun... Yun Zhaoyan?

She just came out of His Lordship's room.

Did they...

T-T-This... Bei Wu! Bei Wu!

B-B-Bei Wu!

B-B-Bei Wu, Bei Wu.

Listen.

I just saw...

What's going on?

Lord Xie has been transferred from Imperial Censor's Mansion.

W-W-What?

He's been transferred from Imperial Censor's Mansion?

I was under Governor's order

to come to Imperial Censor's Mansion to assist Imperial Censor.

Now my mission has been completed.

I should leave now.

Lord Xie.

The other day I heard

that Guigui was going to retire.

Now...

Now you're leaving too.

G-G-Guigui?

Isn't he still a young boy?

Why is he retiring?

Anyway,

all good things will come to an end.

Don't be too sad.

We will

see each other again.

[Order]

Lord Xie...

L-L-Lord...

L-L-Lord Xie...

He's just left.

This...

Yun...Yun Zhaoyan first...

Now Lord X-X-Xie has also left.

Life is so unpredictable.

Are you done?

Lord Xie is going to Governor's Mansion.

He's not leaving Qingzhou.

G-G-Governor's Mansion?

Where do you think he's going?

You look ignorant all the time.

G-G-Governor's Mansion?

[Governor's Mansion]

Xie Guichen.

There's something

I must make clear

between us.

Okay.

You...

Look at you.

What did you do to Qingqing

to make her so crazy about you?

Today,

I came to deal with this.

Go ahead.

Since antiquity, a person's spouse

has been chosen by their parents and elder brothers.

I want to let Gu Qing

be my lawfully wedded wife.

So today,

I came to ask for your consent

and propose to Gu Qing.

Of all the women I know, Gu Qing

is the only woman that is so determined to follow her heart.

I grew up with no one to rely on.

Later I lived for others' will.

Before I met her,

I didn't know

being cared

and being loved

could bring me so much warmth.

In the past, I only knew that a gentleman would die for a bosom friend.

But now,

I'll always try my best

to make sure that I won't die

because

I'll protect Gu Qing forever.

Governor, please allow us to get married.

Today,

I won't speak to you as the city governor.

I'll say something to you

as her elder brother

and on behalf of her father.

After you marry Qingqing,

you must be very obedient to her.

Even if she is spoiled

bossy,

and irrational,

you should stay calm

and not scold her.

You have to let her know

that you will never abandon her

and that you'll always be there for her.

Otherwise,

she won't let you off.

Neither will I!

My Qingqing...

No one will whip me anymore.

My brother-in-law.

Gu Qing.

I will never let go of your hand again.

The moon phase is so changeable.

I don't know

how long the waning moon will last.

Kanxu.

What's the date today?

It's almost the end of the month.

So,

the moon phase will be its last quarter tomorrow night.

Yes.

Are you still worried about

the vacant position in Soul Collecting Lamp?

Actually, you don't have to be so worried.

Qingzhou City was still fine

in the past ten years when the moon couldn't be seen.

The city won't be doomed just because of a lack of a moon phase...

Kanxu.

You actually know it better than I do.

Although the moon couldn't be seen in Qingzhou in the past,

but the moon phases were in the mortal world.

But now the last quarter of the moon phase

will be incomplete because Han Ying

destroyed himself.

The mortal world

will definitely witness disasters.

The tides will come in an disorderly manner.

The cycle of the seasons will be broken.

You know that day

will come sooner or later, right?

Have you

made the decision?

God.

Please don't do that.

If you do that, you and Miss Zhaoyan

will be separated forever.

[Governor's Mansion]

Governor.

How's the situation in the coastal areas?

Since the eclipse of the moon,

the tides have been in an disorderly manner.

The coastal villages have suffered severe disasters.

Tens of thousands of people got homeless.

I'm afraid the refugees will

arrive in Qingzhou City in a few days.

Besides him,

who else can protect Qingzhou?

Miss Zhaoyan.

What are you looking at?

Good question.

What's up there?

Why does His Lordship like lying in the tree?

After Kui Ji jumped into the Soul Collecting Lamp,

God was lonely and helpless.

God was very naughty in his childhood.

He reused to stay at one place quietly.

He also didn't like to get along with other immortals in Heavenly Realm.

Surprisingly, he liked to

sleep on the branches of me, an old laurel tree.

He also liked to race against a rabbit.

Later,

the Heaven Emperor secretly ordered me and Wu Tu,

a tree and a rabbit,

to serve him.

Maybe it's because of this childhood habit of his.

Now,

God still likes to lie in the tree.

You followed His Lordship to the mortal world.

What about the rabbit Wu Tu?

In order to protect God,

Wu Tu died in Heavenly Palace.

I see.

If Wu Tu

had come to the mortal world and gone through difficulties,

he would be a handsome boy

just like you, right?

Not really.

Last time, you told me about His Lordship

under the tree, right?

Yes.

How time flies.

You and His Lordship have been through so many things.

By the way,

why did you

ask me to see you here?

I

want to ask about Soul Collecting Lamp.

Soul Collecting Lamp?

The other day I saw

His Lordship look sad on the city wall.

Then I knew

things are not over yet.

Guigui, please tell me

that there is one renegade immortal of the moon phase

which is always absent in Soul Collecting Lamp,

what will happen?

The tides will be in an disorderly manner?

The cycle of the four seasons will be broken?

If one of the moon phases is always missing,

the mortal world will be doomed.

Then

when will the moon phase

of Han Ying appear?

On the 30th of this month,

which is tomorrow.

Has His Lordship

made his decision?

Yun Zhaoyan.

I hope this place can be your shelter.

And from now on,

I'll be the last quarter of the moon and protect you.

My Lord.

I promised to protect you.

I don't know if letting you go now

is a kind of protection for you.

If I decide to leave,

how should I say goodbye to her?

My Lord.

The flowers are blooming.

My Lord.

You've finally come.

I don't want to see

you marry anyone else.

My Lord.

Has she felt that I'm thinking about her?

My Lord.

I'm here.

It's rare for you

to hear my call so soon.

I just want to see

what new trouble you can make.

My Lord.

Let's

walk around in Qingzhou tomorrow.

Why do you suddenly want to walk around in Qingzhou tomorrow?

Because

you have to

say goodbye to Qingzhou City.

You know everything?

There is one moon phase missing.

And you are the master of the moon.

You should hold the Soul Collecting Lamp

and let the moon phases return

so that you can ensure the stability of Qingzhou City.

But...

You should do that.

You are the talisman for the whole Qingzhou City.

I'll also be protected by you, right?

No one will whip me anymore.

Brother.

Qing.

Why are you here?

You're going to get married. Why were you eavesdropping?

You're like a child.

Brother.

I'm sorry, Brother.

Governor, you may rest assured

that I will never

let go of her hand again.

My good brother-in-law.

Gu Qing.

Hello, Lord Xie.

Lord Xie, are you waiting for Princess here?

I...

Who said I was waiting for her?

I was just passing by.

Just passing by?

Okay. Please be honest with us.

Princess is so spoiled and bossy.

How did you manage to win her love?

Who said she was spoiled and bossy?

She is not that kind of person.

You have no idea how scary she is.

When she first came to Qingzhou City,

She made us terrified.

She is

sometimes dramatic.

But that's because she has been given important responsibilities

since childhood. She has to be like that.

Otherwise, how could she protect herself?

Besides,

if she were as terrible as you said,

why had she never bullied you?

Did she ever bully you?

Aunts, what are you doing?

Mr. Governor.

Hello, Xie.

Mr. Governor.

Are you here to see me?

I...

I'm not.

I just...

I just want to see the spring scenery in the garden.

No, the summer scenery.

Okay, the summer scenery.

You even brought summer flowers with you.

Are you giving them to Qingqing?

I just plucked them on the path.

If you like them,

here you are.

So these flowers...

Actually, I...

Wait.

This...

Give them to me.

Okay.
