[The Night is Still Young]

[Episode 20]

Weiyang?

Why didn't you inform me before coming to the Eastern Palace?

I apologize for my rudeness.

I will certainly inform you next time.

Let go of me, Ye Mingxuan!

Your Highness!

It seems that there's no way out of this cave.

I have ambushed enemies here before.

I remember there's a hidden river deep in the cave.

We can escape quietly through the water passage.

You're wise.

Chu Mo.

Let's split up.

I'll stay behind to hold off death warriors.

You take all the Eagle Guards and leave

to recover the stolen goods and arrest the culprits.

Yes.

All Eagle Guards, follow me.

-Yes! -Yes!

Weiyang.

How dare you!

Report!

Report!

Your Highness.

Speak!

Your Highness.

Our plan to ambush Ye Beichen has failed.

How is that possible?

Originally, King Yan and the Eagle Guards indeed fell into the trap

and were forced into a cave

under siege by death warriors.

But unexpectedly,

King Yan used himself as bait

to divert death warriors' attention.

What about the weapons?

He used a diversion tactic

and ordered the Eagle Guards to secretly intercept them.

What about Ye Beichen?

He injured our men

and then escaped.

Get lost!

Useless!

Weiyang.

Since you're here in the Eastern Palace,

stay for a few more days.

It's been a long time

since we've spent time together.

Ye Beichen has already seized the weapons,

and now the ledger is also in his hands.

Ye Mingxuan,

let me see how you're going to talk your way out of this.

Yue.

[Ledger]

Yue.

My lady, I'm here.

This is evidence of Ye Mingxuan secretly stockpiling troops.

Take it and hand it to Ye Beichen yourself.

My lady, what about you?

Right now, only the ledger can protect Ye Beichen.

Hurry and go!

Okay.

I'd like to see

what matters more in Uncle's heart-

the ledger

or you?

Ye Beichen.

[Ledger]

I've brought

the ledger you wanted.

Uncle, you're quite capable.

No matter how much I calculated,

I didn't foresee you escaping unscathed.

Weiyang.

Ye Mingxuan!

It seems that you truly matter far more

to Uncle than the ledger.

Ye Beichen, leave quickly.

Take the ledger and go. Don't worry about me.

Weiyang.

Uncle cares deeply for you.

[Ledger]

How could you bear to let him leave?

Here's the ledger.

Let Weiyang come with me.

You want to let her go?

Fine.

Let me see your sincerity.

[Ledger]

What else do you want?

For everything you've done to me,

I want you to repay it double over

today.

[Ledger]

Ye Beichen.

Can you release her now?

Just a ledger

in exchange for my beloved.

It seems that I'm at a loss.

What else do you want?

It's simple.

Here's a piece of paper.

[Secretly amassing troops, an act of great treason, truly a crime of disloyalty, unrighteousness, and unfilial conduct.]

[Deceiving the Emperor, disregarding the law for personal gain, and destroying the integrity of the court. As a high-ranking official, failing to stabilize the country.]

[Confession: I, Ye Beichen, bearing the Emperor's grace, have failed to repay the country, disregarded propriety, and violated the law.]

Uncle, just put your fingerprint on it.

You want to twist the truth?

Since you wish to be remembered as a legendary lover,

why bother with trivialities?

My patience is limited.

Sign it quickly.

No.

Okay.

Let Weiyang go,

and I'll sign it now.

[Confession]

Don't rush, Uncle.

Since you're writing a confession,

you haven't even knelt down.

I don't see any sign of remorse from you.

Ye Mingxuan,

all you want is just the ledger!

Weiyang.

Open your eyes and take a good look.

Ye Beichen!

It's surprising that there's a day when Uncle has to beg me.

[Ledger]

After them!

Slow down.

Your Highness.

Chu Mo.

There's no time to lose.

You must take the real ledger,

along with the evidence of Ye Mingxuan's unauthorized detention of the Ministry of War's weapons,

to the palace.

Be sure to present it directly to the Emperor.

Yes.

That was just an empty book earlier.

I can handle it myself.

These wounds of mine are too ugly.

Won't they scare you?

♫Lend me a moment of joy, with dreams of fantasy♫

No.

♫Lend me half the warmth, to heal a lifetime♫

You shielded me and got injured

♫Lifting a cold lamp, illuminating the city♫

during the explosion

at the General's Mansion.

♫Who waits in the fleeting years♫

♫Refusing to budge an inch♫

♫Hate that we can't meet♫

And that day on the court,

♫Lend me a setting sun, to fall on a lonely city♫

you were hurt while trying to save me.

But back then, I still blamed you,

♫Lend me the silent wind, to accompany me for a while♫

thinking you forced me into marriage.

You didn't explain anything.

♫Frost on my heart, as cold as bone-eating ice♫

Today, you've added a few more bone-deep wounds,

♫Chasing memories of years gone by♫

and you're silently enduring them again.

♫Geese pass, leaving only regrets and cries♫

Ye Beichen!

♫Our love was a mutual mistake♫

it seems that I'm always the one who causes you pain.

I'm sorry.

♫I sigh half my life, unable to leave the fog♫

♫Lighting another stick of sandalwood♫

To me, these injuries

♫Burning the bitterness of parting♫

are nothing.

♫Looking back, life is but a dream♫

You should never apologize for this.

♫Leaving only love and hate to return to the dust♫

But I always end up being a burden to you.

No.

It's because I haven't protected you well,

always putting you in danger.

If I hadn't arrived in time this time,

the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Don't say that anymore.

I just hope that you will be well from now on.

♫Lend me a setting sun, to fall on a lonely city♫

If anything were to happen to you,

I wouldn't want to live alone in this world.

♫Lend me the silent wind, to accompany me for a while♫

It won't happen.

It won't happen.

Don't cry anymore.

♫Frost on my heart, as cold as bone-eating ice♫

♫Chasing memories of years gone by♫

♫Geese pass, leaving only regrets and cries♫

♫Our love was a mutual mistake♫

♫I sigh half my life, unable to leave the fog♫

♫Lighting another stick of sandalwood♫

♫Burning the bitterness of parting♫

♫Looking back, life is but a dream♫

This time, the evidence is conclusive.

♫Leaving only love and hate to return to the dust♫

Ye Mingxuan's matter

will surely be settled.

♫Our love was a mutual mistake♫

I hope so.

A lamp by the small window.

♫I sigh half my life, unable to leave the fog♫

I wish that you and I can share this tea

year after year.

♫Lighting another stick of sandalwood♫

♫Burning the bitterness of parting♫

♫Looking back, life is but a dream♫

I know you have concerns,

♫Leaving only love and hate to return to the dust♫

and I might not be able to help much,

but I truly wish to share both joys and hardships with you.

I'm not intentionally hiding anything.

I just feel that

the time isn't right.

In a month,

you'll naturally come to know

It's snowing.

We've finally waited for spring snow again.

The snowy scenery here is my favorite.

♫Reciting a verse, dreaming of a scene of♫

Come and watch it together.

♫Similar pasts♫

♫In the end, it is like passing clouds, all in vain♫

♫Looking up and seeing the moonlight♫

♫Just like in a past life♫

♫This moment's wish is to be together♫

♫In this life, once more♫

♫To experience this rise and fall♫

♫Just to be with you until the end of life♫

♫Can I be spared from the fate♫

♫Of being forgotten by each other?♫

♫Holding a solitary lamp♫

♫To part ways with that old acquaintance♫

♫This life is lonely, the road stretches endlessly♫

I wish this moment

♫Parting ways, free as water and clouds♫

♫The south wind fulfills the wish; the dream fades away♫

could last forever.

Today, we share the snow,

♫Under the Three-Life Stone, I felt the sorrow of the pear blossoms♫

and we'll grow old together for life.

♫A glance back, and still, deep love remains♫

Ye Beichen,

♫Memories linger, refusing to fade quietly♫

I only wish for

a good outcome for us in this lifetime.

♫Time flies, and the love, hate, joy, sorrow♫

♫Partings and reunions come alive on the page♫

♫A wish from the past life, fulfilled in this life♫

[Grocery store]

Love lock.

Take a look.

Miss.

Please look at our love locks.

This love lock is nice.

With this,

you and His Highness

will surely be together year after year,

bound in heart.

Hurry and go buy the medicinal herbs.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, there's bad news.

I waited in the palace for a long time

but couldn't see the Emperor.

Just now, news came from the palace that

the Emperor's condition has suddenly worsened

and he has fallen into a coma.

An imperial edict has already been issued across the land,

declaring Crown Prince Ye Mingxuan to act as regent according to ancestral tradition.

It's Ye Mingxuan.

Are you suggesting that

Ye Mingxuan secretly entered the palace

and harmed the Emperor?

If his actions of stockpiling troops are exposed,

there will be no chance for him to recover.

So he's making a desperate move.

Miss. Sir.

Please look at this love lock.

Huan Yan?

Do you really think you can ambush me?

Go practice for a few more years.

Shangguan Weiyang,

you'd better kill me now.

Otherwise,

as long as I'm alive,

I'll take your life.

Huan Yan,

matters of the heart can't be forced.

If Ye Beichen chooses you,

I will certainly let go.

Why let love turn into hatred?

Now, it's no longer

a matter of who Brother Beichen chooses.

You probably don't know yet,

but only one of you and Brother Beichen can survive.

What do you mean?

Do you think the strange and mysterious things in the world

are all due to the will of heaven and earth?

In reality, it's the Life and Death Gu

that was planted in Brother Beichen's body.

When the time comes,

if you don't die,

Brother Beichen will die.

Impossible.

Why should I believe you?

Ye Beichen never mentioned this to me.

How did you come to know about it?

There are some things

Brother Beichen would never tell you, even to his death.

Since Brother Beichen used King Gu

to draw out my hidden Ghost Gu,

I sensed something was wrong

and went to visit Grand Master.

Grand Master,

what does this mean?

Only those who have King Gu within them

can control Gu worms.

The only way to

bring someone back to life is

to use one's body as a vessel,

enduring the pain of a thousand ants drilling into the heart,

and the agony of a thousand worms eating the bones.

This Death Gu is used to activate Life Gu,

reversing the course of the sun, moon, and stars.

The defiance of fate with the Life and Death Gu

lies in their balance:

one side grants eternal life,

while the other perishes.

Now, for your safety, Brother Beichen

has decided to keep it from you

and face death in your place.

[Missing Shuo]

One month.

Ye Beichen told me that

I would know his plans

in a month.

It turns out

♫Who inquires amidst the dim lights♫

he had already set

♫These stars that fill the sky♫

a countdown to his life.

♫The fate of love and hate, separation and union♫

♫Blame the depth of our love♫

♫Meeting you feels like encountering an old friend♫

♫As if in a past life, passing by the door♫

♫The past is hard to keep, attachment leaves no trace♫

♫How can I join you in this life?♫

♫If the soul doesn't cross, if the person doesn't return♫

♫Could you lend me the rise and fall of the next life?♫

♫If fate protects us♫

♫In the midst of heavy snow♫

♫Eternal love through the ages♫

♫If love does not fail♫

♫In the depths of blooming flowers♫

Weiyang,

once you were like a beam of light

♫Accompany you to the twilight years♫

that shone into my life,

♫If one life and one death are our destiny♫

but I failed to protect you,

leaving you to suffer unbearable pain.

[Happiness]

In this life,

even if it means giving everything I have,

I vow to ensure your peace.

Though enduring countless hardships,

[The Memorial Tablet of Ye Beichen]

I am truly honored to have met you.

Every sight

♫Who inquires amidst the dim lights♫

is a memory.

♫These stars that fill the sky♫

However,

once we part, there will be no reunion.

♫The fate of love and hate, separation and union♫

I hope you find someone truly destined for you,

♫Blame the depth of our love♫

and as the evening glow fades,

♫Meeting you feels like encountering an old friend♫

you will forget me.

♫As if in a past life, passing by the door♫

♫The past is hard to keep, attachment leaves no trace♫

♫How can I join you in this life?♫

♫If love does not fail♫

♫I'm willing to wait for loneliness in the next life♫

♫The sea has turned into the wilderness♫

♫I'll walk with you again♫

♫We'll walk all the way to the world♫
