[STAND BY ME]

[EPISODE 37]

[ZIYU PAVILION]

This place is…

Is that me?

So this is where His Majesty stored the fake corpse.

Come out.

You followed me all the way here.

Aren't you going to meet me?

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, you did recognize me.

I fulfilled my mission by coming back alive.

Yu'er.

By the way, Your Majesty, how is your injury?

Your Majesty, what happened to you?

Go back and tell your master

that if he wants my descendants,

he should personally drug me.

Why would he bother finding

a fake Yu'er?

Your Majesty, I'm the real Cheng Ruoyu.

♫ Are just like a mirage slowly swallowing the canoe into the horizon ♫

I really am Yu'er, Your Majesty.

Please put the sword down. You have a serious injury.

Please don't get angry!

Can't you recognize my voice?

♫ The misty road to Chang'an is empty the whole night ♫

Look! I am the real Cheng Ruoyu.

And you know what happened in Jiangqi Camp.

♫ Who's longing for sincerity ♫

♫ and has to run away for the rest of their life? ♫

♫ The abjection deserves no right to be mentioned in the future♫

You're trying to fool me.

♫ The country will look different ♫

[SHE HAS LEARNED MARTIAL ARTS] ♫ The universe has no emotion ♫

We found a person who looks like her.

She is good at sophistry. She has learned martial arts.

We named her Lingling.

She has returned to the capital with the credit of capturing the invaders.

We'll make a plan for her.

What's this?

This is a secret letter intercepted from the secret sentry of Jiangqi Camp.

It was a good stratagem to make a dead person come back to life.

Your Majesty, that's not true.

You have to trust me.

Trust you?

When I see you come back from the dead,

I will only feel more compassionate and cherish you more.

But after you give birth to my son,

Qiu Ziliang can continue to control the emperor. Am I right?

Your Majesty, do you have any concerns?

Who do you think you are?

How dare you pretend to be my beloved Yu'er?

♫ I'm in a dream ♫

Go!

Your Majesty.

Go!

♫ Kissing me gently ♫

♫ The country will look different if you leave or stay ♫

♫ The universe has no emotion and is unwilling to change for us ♫

♫ Staring at the sky together and feeling the time get slower ♫

♫ With one glimpse, the city of Chang'an can be wiped out ♫

♫ The mindless world, the thriving society, and me ♫

♫ The days pass us by ♫

♫ There are still fireworks at the end of the road ♫

♫ For what reason do the flowers lead the wind ♫

♫ Only joy can interpret this dream ♫

♫ The world of prosperity passes as the absurd life goes on ♫

Yu'er, I'm sorry!

Please don't blame me.

[JIANGQI CAMP]

You're back.

Did you meet Qi Yan?

No wonder you agreed to let me meet His Majesty.

Why are you mad at me?

Qi Yan denied you. You should be mad at him.

If you hadn't sent him a fake, secret letter,

would he have fallen for it?

If it was me, I wouldn't have fallen for it.

No matter what people say,

I only trust you.

She must hate you so much.

Hating me is better than getting tangled up with Qi Yan again.

Are you really not going to tell her the truth?

I don't know.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine.

[JIANGQI CAMP]

When I see you come back from the dead,

I will only feel more compassionate and cherish you more.

But after you give birth to my son,

Qiu Ziliang can continue to control the emperor. Am I right?

Go back and tell your master

that if he wants my descendants,

he should personally drug me.

Why bother finding a fake Yu'er?

After thinking carefully,

it is understandable why His Majesty denied me.

With the secret letter and the corpse,

how could he trust me?

Who do you think you are?

How dare you to pretend to be my beloved Yu'er?

Go!

My beloved Yu'er?

It must be because His Majesty cares too much for Cheng Ruoyu

that he did not recognize Lingling.

Yes. That's certainly the case.

I can't be discouraged and give in to Qiu Yanzhi's wishes.

Cheng Ruoyu, let's try again.

Your Majesty will recognize you sooner or later.

[JIANGQI CAMP]

[ENJOY HIGH PRESTIGE, COMMAND, AND UNIVERSAL RESPECT]

Have you figured it out?

What do you mean?

[JIANGQI CAMP] It is late.

Let's sleep in my room together.

Camp Guardian, the room is ready.

- You can go. - Yes.

What do you mean?

Are you putting me under house arrest?

You are overthinking it.

Then, why can't I have a separate room?

I don't want to be in the same room as you.

Because it's more convenient to live here.

And no one will be watching you.

There's so much I want to teach you.

Teach me?

The four arts of the Chinese scholar,

astronomy, geography, the five elements, Bagua, and Qimen Dunjia techniques.

Whatever you want.

[JIANGQI CAMP]

Have you solved it yet?

What the hell is this?

It's too difficult.

You figured out the figure of the nine celestial fairies array easily, didn't you?

How did you know that?

I know everything about you.

Qiu Yanzhi,

you did a lot of work in order to get me.

Good for you to know.

The palace banquet is about to begin.

Wait!

Did you not promise me that I can resolve the issue with Your Majesty?

You saw His Majesty yesterday.

Then give me another chance.

I was in a rush yesterday.

It didn't count. I haven't given up yet.

You're in no position to say anything.

Fine. I'm not an unreasonable person.

Solve the array, and I'll let you go.

Your Majesty, the banquet is ready.

They are waiting for you.

Did Lingling come?

I don't think she has.

I know.

I need to take a walk and get some air.

I swear I will not run away.

I promise.

I'm here to meet His Highness Guang at the request of the Camp Guardian.

I have an important matter to discuss.

Your Highness.

Yu'er.

Please help me!

Master Zhang. Please!

Done.

Did you fall asleep?

You solved it!

So this is the solution.

Your Highness, you're amazing.

I can't believe you're so good at mechanism and arrays.

That is a very delicate array.

Where did you get it?

Yanzhi used it to test me.

She taught you this for your own good.

I think she's trying to embarrass me,

and stop me from going to the palace to see His Majesty.

Going to the palace?

I don't know if I'm late. I must go now.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Yu'er.

It seems I did a bad thing

but with good intentions.

I solved it. You should keep your word. I'm going.

Your Highness.

Did I spoil your plan?

Do you mean the array?

I didn't know she could

meet His Majesty if it was solved.

It doesn't matter.

I can't stop her anyway.

People can't keep up with her after you taught her the steps of the nine celestial fairies.

Yu'er does have a gift for martial arts.

How does she compare with Qiu Ziliang?

Yu'er is narrow-minded.

If she can concentrate on martial arts and be open-minded,

her future achievements will be above Qiu Ziliang.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Evil can never prevail over good.

Your Highness,

thank you.

You can't imagine how important it is to me

that Ruoling is still alive.

And you, who told me the good news,

are also important to me.

[JIANGQI CAMP]

How are you going to end their relationship?

As long as His Majesty denies her,

their relationship will end sooner or later.

But will His Majesty really deny her?

Eunuch Cheng.

I'm late. I was delayed by other matters.

Who are you?

Are you Yu'er?

Shouldn't you be dead?

Eunuch Cheng, I'm Lingling.

I am late because I was delayed by other things. Could you take me in?

You look so much like her.

You two look so much alike.

Uncle,

I'm Yu'er.

I am the real Yu'er.

I'm not dead.

Qiu Ziliang tried to have me killed, but Yanzhi saved me.

This is a secret.

Only His Majesty and you know about it.

But His Majesty denies me now.

Could you help me?

I'd love to help you.

But I just can't believe it.

Uncle, if you don't believe me, ask me questions.

Questions to which only I know the answers.

What is your favorite food?

Cherry pastry.

What is my favorite food?

Jujube rice cakes.

What is Xi'er's favorite food?

Roasted camel hump.

What is Li Rong's favorite food?

Li Rong…

Aunt Li Rong doesn't have

a favorite food.

She doesn't even eat fish. Not even a bite.

- Yu'er. - Uncle.

Cheng Huaizhi.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Uncle, please tell His Majesty.

Your Majesty, this is Yu'er.

She is not dead, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

She is not Yu'er.

Yu'er is dead.

Your Majesty,

I am right here.

My body. My voice. My hands and feet. My heart.

Why do you turn a blind eye to me?

Even if you're like Yu'er in every way,

you're not her.

I will not be taken in by you.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Do you have any concerns? Is that why you deny me?

Maybe… Maybe you are afraid that Qiu Ziliang will come after me again if he knows I'm alive.

Or it's because of Yanzhi.

Yanzhi is lying to you about me.

Your Majesty,

if you have anything on your mind, please let me know.

I will listen to you.

But please don't treat me like this.

You denying me...

makes me feel very sad.

[HANGUANG HALL]

You really deserve to be a deadly soldier of Jiangqi Camp.

You not only look like Yu'er,

but you can also read people's minds.

I almost fell for your trick.

Do you know why I know

that you're not Yu'er?

Why?

Why? Why?

What's troubling you?

I saw you.

What?

I saw you wash Prince Guang's sleeve.

And I heard what you say to him…

So you went to fight just to get hurt?

Take off your clothes.

I'll wash them for you.

That's not what I'm asking for.

- Then what do you want? - I…

You are supposed to marry Qi Yan and become the empress.

Yes.

Have you changed your mind?

- No. - Yes, you have.

Your mind has begun to waver.

I have not wavered in my desires.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have pushed you.

But I'm jealous!

I know that marrying Qi Yan...

is for revenge.

But Prince Guang…

I'm scared.

After you learned that he saved your sister,

you changed.

- Rufeng! - Rufeng!

Rufeng!

Can you see?

[HANGUANG HALL] Rufeng has run away.

Yesterday, you came up to me and said

you were Cheng Ruouu.

But when Rufeng saw you, it didn't respond to you at all.

Is this reason enough?

Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

What exactly do I need to do

to make you believe me?

Why do you deny me?

Your Majesty.

Good boy.

You really only listen to me.

Take him away.

Your Majesty,

I think she is…

Huaizhi,

your niece Cheng Ruoyu is dead.

Her body now lies in Ziyu Pavilion.

Yes, Your Majesty.

♫ With the storm roaring outside, where can you rest your soul? ♫

♫ I raise my sword, but I can't cut off our ties ♫

♫ The universe is filled with nothing but the void ♫

Rufeng doesn't recognize me.

My uncle doesn't recognize me.

And His Majesty doesn't recognize me.

It is so hard to prove

that I am Cheng Ruoyu.

♫ No iron heels can crush the fire in my heart ♫

♫ Think about the past and let time slip away ♫

♫ The past re-emerges in front of you ♫

♫ Forget as you remember ♫

♫ I cross my heart devoutly ♫

♫ Only for you to be saved ♫

How long do I have?

Your Majesty, you have about five years.

I understand.

Then I will live in those five years.

But it's also possible

that you won't live for more than five months.

You are still young.

♫ Drinking bitter wine ♫

I'm afraid...

I won't live long.

♫ Drink as I sing but I still can't ♫

Instead of letting you risk everything to return to me,

it would be better to let you stay with Yanzhi, so you can be safe.

♫ Forget as you remember ♫

♫ I cross my heart devoutly ♫

Going out today, I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to come back.

Goodbye, Changming Palace.

Goodbye, Your Majesty.

♫ Forget as you remember ♫

♫ I cross my heart devoutly ♫

Yu'er,

please stay alive.

Even if I die,

everything will be all right...

if you are alive.

I'm here to take you home.

Home?

I don't have a home.

Jiangqi Camp is not my home.

If you don't follow me,

where else can you go?

You must be very proud of yourself now.

His Majesty has fallen for your trick and denied me.

I have no choice but to follow you.

Congratulations.

You have finally seen the truth.

Since you have seen the truth, you have a lot to learn now.

So you need to control your emotions.

Also...

you have a home.

From now on, your home

is where I am.

[QIU]

[JIANGQI CAMP]

Read these thoroughly.

[JIANGQI CAMP]

[ENJOY HIGH PRESTIGE, COMMAND, AND UNIVERSAL RESPECT]

Come here.

- It's hot! - Don't move.

- It's good for your wound. - Can you?

It hurts here, too. You need to massage my shoulders.

I don't believe it.

I'm sure I will win tomorrow.

[JIANGQI CAMP]

[ENJOY HIGH PRESTIGE, COMMAND, AND UNIVERSAL RESPECT]

What kind of sword did you give me? It's terrible.

Do you want the Sword of Light back?

Forget it.

Let the sword accompany the dead Cheng Ruoyu.

You give up so soon.

I thought you'd keep seeing Qi Yan until

he recognized you.

Actually, I think His Majesty trusts me.

He denied me for my own good.

Before, I didn't think and went to see him impetuously.

But now that I think about it,

I realize that I was in danger.

If Qiu Ziliang was not retreating,

he would have known that I wasn't dead.

So even though what you said before was unpleasant to hear,

I am still grateful to have heard it.

And these days,

I could feel that you've been teaching me without reservation.

When I was at the Ziyi Bureau,

Aunt did not teach me anything.

I didn't know what I was learning

until…

Until what happened in the Pure Jade House.

Then you began to understand, right?

Right.

And now, even though it looks like you're pushing me,

I am really enjoying it.

I want to ask you a question.

Go ahead.

Why are you so nice to me?

Cheng Xi is missing.

Two months ago, Zhang Jiang sent men to kill the soldiers guarding her and took her away.

Zhang Jiang was defeated and is also missing.

Ask Yu Niang to get people to find her.

We worked so hard to force Qiu Ziliang into retreat.

We must not create any problems at such a time.

I will.

And...

watch Li Rong closely.

If my sister comes back,

she will definitely contact her.

Yes, Your Highness.

I had a sister once.

She was smart and naughty.

But unfortunately, she died.

You look a lot like her.

When I see you,

it's like seeing her.

But I teach you martial arts

for the Ziyi Bureau.

What do you mean?

The figure of the nine celestial fairies array of the Ziyi Bureau only has 100 people,

but it can create the power of 1,000 people.

If we can use it in real wars,

it will play a big role.

Now, Cheng Xi is gone.

Don't you want to go back and lead them back to glory?

You solved the array, because Prince Guang helped you.

That was just by chance.

Now, I ask you to study mechanisms and arrays

so that the Ziyi Bureau can maximize its power under your leadership.

If you want to protect Qi Yan, fight against Qiu Ziliang,

and be the second Lady Gongsun,

what you need to do first is to become powerful.
