You are Qin Yan.

That's right.

I saved you 15 years ago,

yet you ordered my parents' death.

Her parents died because of you.

Aren't you afraid she will resent you?

Regardless of her hatred for me, I must find her and make amends.

Even if it means giving her my life.

That's right.

Impossible.

Yan Changyun,

just yesterday, you said you loved me.

Was it all a lie?

- Why?
- You should already know the reason.

From the very beginning, you came to kill me, didn't you?

How could I possibly fall in love with you?

From start to finish,

I just wanted to obtain the jade ring.

Now that it has come to this.

Tell me. Where is the jade ring?

I've finally found you.

Tell me. Where is the jade ring?

Where exactly is the jade ring?

Now that you know my identity,

and can't produce the jade ring,

then there's no need for you to live.

[Yan Changyun, Xiao Qiangzi]

You are one of the Thousand Feather Guards.

Protecting you is my duty.

Wrong, I will give you another chance.

Because you're mine.

Boss!

A'Cheng,

Boss.

Senior Sister.

I hope you keep your promise.

Qing Yun, take your senior sister, and let's go.

Yes, Master.

Your Majesty.

It's a cool day today, take care of yourself.

What's wrong?

Your Majesty, if I hadn't been born into the Xiao Family,

would it have been possible for you to fall in love with me?

It's difficult to obtain sincerity in this position of mine,

and difficult to love someone else.

I'm grateful for the tenderness you've given.

And thank you for the warmth you've provided.

But that's not love.

Yes.

Since you already know, why do you have to be this way towards me?

I'm willing to sacrifice my all for you,

without any regrets.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, something has happened. It's not good.

Fu Xiao killed Yan Changyun.

Let's go.

How is he now?

To report back to Your Majesty. Young Master Yan is gravely injured.

His pulse is like a thread, and it's extremely critical.

Rest assured, Your Majesty. I'll do my utmost to treat him.

I don't care what you do,

you must save his life.

- Do you understand?
- Understood.

What about Fu Xiao?

Your Majesty, she has already been taken away by her master.

Why would she kill Yan Changyun?

Fu Xiao, take this antidote,

and the poison in your body will be completely neutralized.

Fu Xiao, you're awake.

Master.

Where is this?

This is Wanshi Pavilion, you're safe here.

Where are you going?

I want to go back and have a look.

Fu Xiao,

have you not let go of him yet?

No,

the grudge I have with him is irreconcilable.

I just want to go back and see if he's dead.

Let everything go.

You should also let go
of all the grudges between you and him.

Forget him.

[Yan Residence]

I'm sorry, Brother Yan.

I just wanted her to stay away from you.

I didn't expect…

I'll be with you from now on.

Although...

you've never had feelings for me.

Fu Xiao.

Fu Xiao.

Brother Yan, you're awake.

Brother Yan has woken up.

Brother Yan.

Fu Xiao won't be coming.

She stabbed me...

because of you. Right?

Brother Yan, I…

The young master has awoken.

Young Master, I've wronged you.

Young Master, it's all my fault for being foolish.

For having slandered you, it's all my fault.

Young Master, please don't blame Chu Yue.

No, Brother Yan, it was all my idea.

You can go.

I don't want to see you again.

Young Master, Chu Yue has suffered so much.

The reason she did this was to be with you.

Uncle Lei, for so many years,

I have owed you too much.

I will give you, and everyone, an explanation.

[Minister's Mansion]

My Lord.

Fu Xiao attempted to assassinate Yan Changyun, but Yan Changyun is not dead.

Bai Yi took Fu Xiao away.

What does Bai Yi want to do?

What if I go and kill Fu Xiao?

How are things with the Ning Kingdom?

Everything is arranged and ready for action at any time.

Then let our old friend invite Qin Yan to show himself.

I want to see if Qin Yan dares to come out.

Or will he watch those old members of the Qin Family die for him.

Shameless! The Ning Kingdom simply has no integrity whatsoever.

The envoy has just returned to the country,

and he has actually declared an open war on the Southern Kingdom.

Is it because they think the Southern Kingdom has no one left?

Or is it because they think I'm scared of them?

- This is too much.
- Isn't it?

Your Majesty, the Ning Kingdom cavalry is now assembling at the border.

They demand that Yan Changyun must die.

We need to give an explanation quickly.

Yan Changyun, I won't kill him.

He is someone I have chosen to protect.

If I were to satisfy Ning Kingdom's unreasonable demands,

wouldn't it mean that we would be at the mercy of others in the future?

- Commander Wei.
- Here.

I command you to lead troops to reinforce the border and set out in three days.

Yes.

Your Majesty, Southern Kingdom has many soldiers and generals.

Naturally, we are not afraid of the Ning Kingdom's war.

But for the sake of the country, and for the sake of the people,

if war erupts between these nations, it would spell disaster for all living beings.

Indeed, the people are innocent.

Indeed, Your Majesty.

Ning Kingdom's hundred thousand cavalries shouldn't be underestimated.

Can you bear to let the Southern Kingdom fall into years of warfare once again?

Your Majesty, you must consider the overall situation.

Whether to fight or to have peace, Your Majesty, you must think carefully.

Please, Your Majesty, think carefully.

If we can't go into war, and peace…

I'm not willing to accept it.

What exactly do you want me to do?

If Yan Changyun can't be killed,

then we can find someone else to be the scapegoat.

Someone else? What do you mean?

The remnants of Guanyou.

The remnants of Guanyou.

This is a good proposal.

15 years ago, they fought against the elite forces of the Ning Kingdom.

There have long been old grudges.

After the emperor dealt with the Qin Family, it added new hatred for them.

And now the Southern Kingdom is about to engage in trade with the Ning Kingdom.

They harbor resentment in their hearts.

Thus, they provoked a dispute between the two nations.

The biggest suspect in the murder of Princess Jiayang,

is the remaining evil of Guanyou.

That's right, Lord Xiao is correct.

- Lord Xiao is right.
- This proposal is good.

Your Majesty, as long as we eliminate the remaining evil of Guanyou,

then we can give the Ning Kingdom an explanation.

And also root out future troubles for the Southern Kingdom.

This is the best strategy.

We agree!

Young Master, Ning Kingdom used the death of Princess Jiayang to gather one hundred thousand cavalries at the border.

They demand the court to give an explanation for Princess Jiayang's death and are proposing to execute you.

His Majesty is unwilling to be controlled and also doesn't wish to start a war now.

So, he heeded the advice of Xiao Quan.

In order to prevent the Ning Kingdom's invasion, the old members of the Qin family were convicted and all will be executed.

What?

Help me change my clothes, I want to see His Majesty.

Young Master, Xiao Quan has always intended to use this to eliminate you with His Majesty's hand.

- If you go now…
- Change my clothes.

[Imperial Spring Palace]

You already know the court's decision.

All right, go back.

Your Majesty, the former members of the Qin Family are innocent.

If Your Majesty must give Ning Kingdom an explanation,

then in exchange for the Southern Kingdom's peace,

I can die.

Commander Yan, I can't possibly kill you.

If you die, then who will protect me?

Then what if…

I'm that person who has been hiding for 15 years with a capital crime.

The only son of Duke Ding, Qin Wenzhong,

Qin Yan?

15 years ago,

Your Majesty gave orders to kill the entire Qin Family.

Only I survived, and lived on with a hidden identity.

Later, I joined the army, fought the enemy, and earned distinctions.

Step by step, I became the leader of the Thousand Feather Guards,

and lurking by Your Majesty's side.

I originally intended to clear the unjust accusations against the Qin Family.

But I never expected things to evolve to this point today.

Now, I, Qin Yan, am willing to turn myself in.

I only hope that Your Majesty can spare those innocent people.

You revealed your identity before me,

then aren't you afraid that I will kill you?

Your Majesty, in fact, you have long guessed my identity.

If you really wanted to kill me, why wait until today?

You're allergic to shrimp shells.

After I saved you with the juice of perilla leaves that time, you began to suspect me.

You taught Fu Xiao the Nine Heroes stabs on purpose.

It was actually to test me.

You have never dismissed your suspicions of me.

You have never exposed my identity.

But I knew that sooner or later,

I would stand before you as Qin Yan.

Do you know why I kept this secret?

You've been by my side for so many years, and never harmed me,

but instead, you protect me at all costs.

I know that you still care about the brotherhood of those years, and so do I.

But the Southern Kingdom encountered this great disaster,

and I agreed to Xiao Quan's approach due to the situation.

I'm willing to bear all the charges alone.

You're intent on seeking death.

I have no more cares left.

What about Fu Xiao?

Fu Xiao doesn't belong here.

I can't give her a future,

nor can you give her happiness.

Yan Changyun, Fu Xiao is much braver than you.

At least she dares to love and hate, daring to do anything. And you?

I just don't want to implicate anyone else again.

Especially her.

Fine! Since you seek death with all your heart, I'll grant your wish.

Guards!

Imprison Yan Changyun in the Sky Prison.

Strictly guard him. No one is allowed to approach him.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Eunuch Feng.

I'm here.

I wish to draft an imperial edict

and tell all that Yan Changyun is imprisoned in the Sky Prison and will be executed soon.

Yes.

My Lord, Yan Changyun has revealed his identity.

His Majesty has already thrown him into the Sky Prison and will be executed soon.

[Qingya]

Qin Yan.

You've finally appeared and surrendered yourself.

After all these years, if it hadn't been for Qin Yan by Zhao Yuan's side,

I wouldn't have been restrained by him at every turn.

Heng'er would not have been trapped in the deep palace without freedom.

Now it seems this Zhao Yuan has finally done one thing right.

Without Yan Changyun, the Southern Kingdom is like a tiger without teeth.

By then, we'll be able to lead our troops through the pass.

That's right! As soon as Yan Changyun dies,

we'll take action immediately.

Your Majesty, just as you expected, Lord Xiao has indeed started to make his move.

It seems he can no longer restrain himself.

Brother Yan, I have no choice but to reveal this trump card now.

I hope our hearts are one.

[Wanshi Pavilion]

Master, you said that once a person develops real feelings,

do they really stop distinguishing right from wrong?

A man's indulgence can still be cast aside,

but once a woman is enthralled, it can't be shed.

Once a woman develops real feelings,

she may be blinded by love.

By then, whether it's good or bad,

she might not even be able to distinguish it herself.

Everything is in the past.

It's time for you and him to end.

Since you have returned,

it's better to think carefully,

about what that thing he always asked you to find actually is.

And what sort of mystery lies within it?

The jade ring.

Master, why does he want to find that jade ring?

That's right. Why does he want to find the jade ring?

Fu Xiao.

Do you know where the ring is?

Before I returned, I specifically had a jade roller made.

That's why it took a little bit of extra time.

From now on, you can use it to massage and promote blood circulation.

It's very beneficial for your legs.

This is made of the finest mutton-fat white jade.

Master, I still can't remember anything.

My head hurts terribly as soon as I think about these things.

Don't force it if you can't remember.

Your health is the most important right now.

You should rest well first.

Thank you, Master.

I'll take my leave now.

Senior Sister.

Did you kill Princess Jiayang?

I warn you, don't make baseless accusations.

This plum blossom dagger was a special weapon given to you by our master.

The fatal wound on Princess Jiayang's body came exactly from this,

yet you still won't admit it?

I killed her. What can you do about it?

Why did you do this?

We were going to kill Yan Changyun anyway.

Since killing Jiayang could eliminate Yan Changyun,

why not go through with it?

Does Master know about this?

What we do in Wanshi Pavilion must all be permitted by the master.

So, what do you think?

Are you suspecting Qing Li killed Princess Jiayang?

Do you think that I gave orders?

But isn't Wanshi Pavilion always devoted to punishing the wicked and eradicating evil?

Killing Jiayang was originally a deed of punishing the wicked and eradicating evil.

Just like killing Yan Changyun.

It's just that some can't complete these tasks,

and I'm the only one who can complete them.

Do you understand?

I just look down upon you kind of people.

Casting aside important affairs for the sake of romantic attachment.

Just like Yan Changyun.

He knew that only with his death could you live,

yet he really went on to endure that sword strike of yours, willing to die.

Truly foolish.

Luckily, he died by my hand.

Not as you wished.

You're truly overestimating yourself.

Yan Changyun wasn't killed by you at all.

However, he won't live long.

The court is going to execute him soon.

He is Qin Yan who has been on the run for many years.

He has been thrown into the Sky Prison, to be executed on a chosen day.

You're still alive.

I'm sorry, Fu Xiao. I've broken my promise again.

Forget about me soon,

leave this place of trouble.

Go enjoy life.

♫ What harm is there to give up this life for you? ♫

♫ I keep this tenderness to myself ♫

♫ To be drunk with you for a time ♫

Fu Xiao,

the poison in your body has been removed.

The stagnant blood in your body is also gradually dissipating.

Feel it yourself.

Can you remember the past?

Master,

I still can't remember anything.

If you can't remember, then let it be

There's still a long road ahead.

I'll certainly try every possible way to get you back to your former self.

I'm sorry, Master.

Silly child, you did nothing wrong.

I never blamed you.

Master,

sometimes I think

if I hadn't gone to assassinate Yan Changyun,

hadn't left Wanshi Pavilion, and hadn't lost my memory,

we would have always stayed here.

I would still be me who loves to cause a stir and laugh.

And you would still be that righteous master who punishes evil and promotes good.

As long as you come back safely, that's good.

We'll still return to our former ways.

Right now, I still have things to do.

After all this is over,

we will leave this place of trouble.

Life will surely get better from now on.

Okay.

Master, let me massage your legs again.

Senior Sister, since you returned, you have been constantly by master's side, taking care of him.

Take a break, let me do it.

Junior brother, after I left Wanshi Pavilion,

it has always been you and Senior Sister who have cared for Master.

It's also time for me to fulfill my filial duties.

No harm. It'll be fine with some repair in a few days.

I'll go and repair it right now.

Master,

I'm sorry.

Get some rest early.

Yan Changyun is also looking, and my master is also searching for this.

What secret does this ring hold exactly?

Why is it so important?

[Signed as proof: Contract parties - Xiao Quan, Ge Heng, and Guo Zhen]

Qing Yun.

Why isn't Fu Xiao here?

Senior Sister must still be resting.

Early this morning, I saw the repaired jade roller placed on the table.

Senior Sister must have stayed up all night fixing it.

What's wrong?

Nothing much, it's just that the jade roller seems lighter.

It doesn't handle as smoothly as before.

No harm. It'll be fine with some repair in a few days.

I'll go and repair it right now.

Master,

I'm sorry.

Go check if Fu Xiao is still in the room.

- Master, what's wrong?
- Go quickly!

Yes.

Master, Senior Sister isn't in the room. A few fellow disciples also haven't seen her.

Notify Qing Li to go after her quickly.

Yes.

[Xiao]

Yan Changyun, you must wait for me.

[Wanted]
Has anyone seen this little boy?

You should know that harboring a rebel against the court

is a capital offense.

Stop!

The child has already left.

We truly don't know where he went.

It's you.
