[The Night is Still Young]

[Episode 22]

From this moment on,

you will pass into your next life...

and we shall never meet again.

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

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

♫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♫

The traitor has been executed.

This is heaven's blessing upon our Great Ye!

Long live the Crown Prince!

Long live the Crown Prince! Long live the Crown Prince!

Quickly, drag the traitor's body to the mass grave.

-Yes, Your Majesty! -Yes, Your Majesty!

Ye Beichen, wait for me.

You'll be fine.

You'll be fine for sure.

No!

♫Blame the depth of our love♫

How are you?

♫Meeting you feels like encountering an old friend♫

Are you seriously injured?

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

Thank you for saving me, miss.

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

You're injured,

♫How can I join you in this life?♫

but I have no medicine with me.

I only have a packet of sugar. Take it.

♫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♫

I am Ye Beichen.

♫If love does not fail♫

May I ask for your name, miss?

♫In the depths of blooming flowers♫

I'm Shangguan Weiyang.

♫Accompany you to the twilight years♫

Shangguan Weiyang.

♫If one life and one death are our destiny♫

To me, wealth and titles

mean nothing.

I only want Shangguan Weiyang.

Your Majesty,

I am willing to marry King Yan.

Ye Beichen.

Wait for me.

Wait for me to slay Ye Mingxuan myself.

Weiyang?

Weiyang.

Mingxuan.

You're awake?

You said earlier you were going to get something and come back,

but why did you end up at the mass grave?

I went to the mass grave

to retrieve something from Ye Beichen.

What was it?

This bracelet

was forcibly taken from me before.

Now that he's dead,

it should be returned to me.

Unfortunately, I was still a step too late.

The bracelet has been destroyed.

Weiyang.

I didn't expect

that you'd care so much about this bracelet.

Look at you.

You're getting yourself in such a mess to find it.

However,

I have prepared a surprise for you.

Come in.

My lady.

Yue.

My lady.

Yue.

How did you get here?

My lady,

it was His Highness who sent someone to find me

and bring me into the palace.

Weiyang, with Yue by your side,

your days here won't be boring anymore.

Thank you, Mingxuan.

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

You and your maid have just come here.

Take some time to settle in.

I'll come to see you after I've finished with state affairs.

My lady,

why are you here with the Crown Prince?

It should have been this way a long time ago.

I've always said

the Crown Prince's feelings for you are sincere.

I'm not sure either.

I can't pretend everything in the past

has never happened.

My lady,

since His Majesty has designated the Fifth Prince as Crown Prince,

it means he was not responsible

for those misdeeds in the past.

My lady, you should clear up the misunderstanding with the Crown Prince

and treat each other sincerely now.

You're right.

Your Highness.

There's one thing I don't understand.

Are you wondering

why I had to bring Weiyang into the Eastern Palace?

Miss Shangguan went to the mass grave without your knowledge.

Her intentions are quite suspicious.

I wanted her to see with her own eyes

that Ye Beichen is dead,

to put an end to any remaining attachment she has to him.

Miss Shangguan once worked with King Yan

and opposed you at every turn.

How loyal she is to you

is really hard to say.

Indeed, a change of heart

indeed doesn't happen overnight.

Moreover,

now that Ye Beichen is dead,

she has no chance to turn back.

She can only start anew.

I just can't understand

how I am inferior to Ye Beichen in any way.

What Ye Beichen could give her,

and even what he couldn't,

I can give her all of it!

Sooner or later, her heart will surely change,

and she will devote herself entirely to me.

Your Highness, you're wise.

My lady,

you came to the Eastern Palace for the King?

Even now,

I can't bring myself to believe he's dead.

Without him,

everything in this world to me

is nothing but a dream.

But there is one thing

I must do,

and that is to kill Ye Mingxuan with my own hands.

Unfortunately, he's always avoiding me now

and doesn't want to be alone with me.

Then why does he still let you stay in the palace?

He wants the military power of the Shangguan's army,

but he doesn't trust me.

So he simply sets me aside

to keep me in check for now.

My lady,

he is, after all, the Crown Prince.

The palace is heavily guarded.

Isn't it too dangerous for you

to assassinate him here?

That's why I must get close to him,

earn his trust,

and strike a fatal blow

before complications arise.

Yue,

clear it up first.

Let's go back to the room and discuss this matter further.

Wait.

This is...

Why are there osmanthus cakes?

This was given by the steward of the Eastern Palace.

I heard from the Eastern Palace's cooks

that they make osmanthus cakes for the Crown Prince every day,

but he only takes a few bites

before giving them away to the servants.

Mingxuan.

Weiyang.

Why are you here?

I've been searching everywhere for you.

My mother...

my mother gave birth to me right here.

Mingxuan,

today is your birthday.

Your mother's spirit in heaven

would surely be happy.

This jade pendant

comes from the quarries of your mother's homeland.

Take a look. Do you like it?

Weiyang, thank you.

Mother.

I just wish I could eat osmanthus cakes one more time.

Heaven is on my side.

Three days from now

will be the anniversary of his mother's death.

Who's there?

Mingxuan.

Weiyang?

Weiyang, why are you here?

This place is too humble.

It's not fitting for you to come.

You were born here.

Why can't I come?

How did you know?

I heard it from the elder maids in the palace.

Mingxuan, I had no idea

you had lost your mother at such a young age.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

Weiyang.

You're dressed so plainly today.

Is it to honor my mother?

I heard that today is the anniversary of her death.

I wanted to come and pay my respects to her

and keep you company.

Weiyang.

That's very thoughtful of you.

Mingxuan.

I made this myself.

Try it.

Weiyang.

I didn't know you could make osmanthus cakes.

I heard that you like it,

so I learned how to make it myself.

My lady,

are you planning to poison the Crown Prince with osmanthus cakes?

I've caught a cold recently,

so I shouldn't eat too many sweets.

How about this?

You eat it first. It would be a shame to let it go to waste.
