[The Night is Still Young]

[Episode 24]

Since ancient times, the will of heaven cannot be defied,

and mysteries cannot be unraveled.

If the Crown Prince wishes to bear the mandate of heaven,

Shangguan Weiyang must die.

The Sorcerer King's divine arts are unparalleled in the world;

there must be a way to break it.

I implore you to break it for me.

If you wish to keep Miss Shangguan,

you must send her out of the palace.

Once matters are settled,

further decisions can be made.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

It cannot be delayed.

Otherwise, the situation will become irreparable as time passes,

and even the gods won't be able to save her.

My lady,

I thought I would never see you again.

I've long heard that the Sorcerer King harbors ill intent.

Indeed, the Sorcerer King seeks to kill me,

but thanks to Ye Mingxuan's interference,

he hasn't pressed me too far.

My lady, as long as you're safe, it'll be fine.

What does it matter if I live or die?

But if I truly leave the palace,

I'll lose any chance to kill Ye Mingxuan.

Luckily, it's not our shift today.

Otherwise,

we would have been killed along with Lord Li.

Cut the rap. Let's go quickly.

Yue, go and find out

what happened.

Useless!

There were many guards standing outside the Emperor's chamber.

How could someone like Lord Li, a man over sixty,

find an opening to bash his head against a pillar?

Crown Prince,

a group of senior officials pushed to the palace doors

to see the Emperor.

In the chaos,

I failed to

prevent Lord Li from colliding with the pillar and dying.

Yangren is ruthless and unrestrained,

with a bloodthirsty nature.

As long as it remains,

the palace will never be at peace.

You are absolutely right.

However, Weiyang is to be my future Crown Princess.

If she is sent away because of her ill-fated destiny,

how could I possibly explain it to others?

Bloodshed is already looming.

Why do you still hesitate out of misplaced compassion?

When you ascend to the throne,

and stand above all,

who will you need to explain yourself to?

I understand.

But I still need to make some preparations.

Give me three days,

and I will definitely make it.

Weiyang,

these are all things I've had someone carefully prepare.

During your days outside the palace,

I won't let you suffer any grievances.

Although I am inauspicious,

at least I have the General's Mansion to return to.

You don't need to worry about these matters.

Weiyang,

I'm sending you out of the palace

for your own good.

If someone like Lord Li appears,

won't everyone once again shift the blame

onto you?

Honestly, as long as it's for your good,

leaving the palace is nothing

worth mentioning.

I've just been wondering;

does Ji Wuming truly have your best interests at heart,

or does he have ulterior motives?

Sorcerer King, but with Lord Li's death outside the Emperor's chamber,

I wonder if

there is any way for me to ease this matter.

You need to make the sacrifice to the heavens

to show sincerity.

Weiyang,

I have ordered everything to be prepared.

Once it's done,

I will bring you back to the palace to take up the Phoenix Seal.

As for whether Ji Wuming is truly loyal to me,

we'll know in the next few days.

Crown Prince, please make the sacrifice to the heavens.

Assassins! Protect the Crown Prince!

Crown Prince!

What are you standing there for? Catch the assassins!

-Yes! -Yes!

Hurry!

Check over there!

What about here? Have you searched?

They ran that way!

My lady is the future Crown Princess.

[Grace and Talent]

Why should we report her whereabouts to you?

We are following the Crown Prince's orders to search everywhere.

Anyone not in their rooms is suspicious.

Are you implying that I am suspicious too?

My lady, you were just bathing,

and yet these people insisted on searching the room.

What happened?

Miss Shangguan,

we are following the Crown Prince's orders to search everywhere.

We apologize for any disturbance and ask for your forgiveness.

We will search elsewhere now.

Let's go.

[Grace and Talent]

My lady.

They're gone.

Search over there!

-Yes! -Yes!

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

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

♫Lifting a cold lamp, illuminating the city♫

♫Who waits in the fleeting years♫

♫Refusing to budge an inch♫

♫Hate that we can't meet♫

♫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♫

Ye Beichen!

♫Lighting another stick of sandalwood♫

My lady!

♫Burning the bitterness of parting♫

My lady, you had a nightmare.

♫Looking back, life is but a dream♫

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

Yue, I saw him.

It must be him.

Only he

would save me.

His Highness?

But how could His Highness say that you're inauspicious,

and insist on putting you to death?

♫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♫

My lady, here is the tea.

♫Lighting another stick of sandalwood♫

My lady, the tea you requested is ready.

Let me do it.

♫Burning the bitterness of parting♫

♫Looking back, life is but a dream♫

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

This tea is made from tea leaves

that were taken as tribute from the Sorcerer King's homeland.

It's different from ordinary tea.

It's meant to comfort

the Sorcerer King's homesickness

and also serve as a small token of gratitude

for finding the root of my illness.

I'm sorry.

Miss Shangguan.

Sorcerer King.

What happened?

It's nothing.

I just accidentally knocked over the teacup.

Miss Shangguan's illness has been diagnosed.

The prescription will be sent by the maid.

Farewell.

My lady.

Yue!

My lady.

I have led people to carefully check.

His Highness' tomb is intact

and shows no signs of being disturbed.

He is truly dead.

Today I checked his chest.

There were no signs of injury.

I caused his death.

I caused his death.

My lady.

My lady.

It's cold outside.

Let's go back inside.

You go back first.

I want to be alone for a while.

My lady.

The daughter of General Zhenyuan, Shangguan Weiyang,

has been betrothed to King Yan, Ye Beichen,

[Happiness]

and they will marry in three months.

In broad daylight,

do you not fear losing face for the royal family

and letting His Majesty know by doing this?

Anyone who dares to harm her

♫Who inquires amidst the dim lights♫

will be killed.

Watch out!

♫These stars that fill the sky♫

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

♫Blame the depth of our love♫

You use Death Gu

♫Meeting you feels like encountering an old friend♫

and she uses Life Gu.

[Past Life]

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

This way, the Death Gu can drive the Life Gu

to bring the dead back to life.

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

♫How can I join you in this life?♫

So what if you're the Crown Prince?

If you dare to disrespect my princess again,

I will show you what true despair is.

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

[Husband]

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

♫If fate protects us♫

♫In the midst of heavy snow♫

Let Weiyang go

and I'll sign it now.

♫Eternal love through the ages♫

♫If love does not fail♫

♫In the depths of blooming flowers♫

♫Accompany you to the twilight years♫

♫If one life and one death are our destiny♫

♫Who inquires amidst the dim lights♫

♫These stars that fill the sky♫

Ye Beichen!

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

♫Blame the depth of our love♫

I have been daydreaming again.

♫Meeting you feels like encountering an old friend♫

Miss Shangguan, you truly go to great lengths to torment yourself;

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

you're truly meticulous.

♫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?♫

♫To be with you on the journey of life♫

♫Seeing the fleeting beauty of life, with everlasting love♫

♫If love does not fail♫

♫In the depths of blooming flowers♫

♫Accompany you to the twilight years♫

♫I invite you to come with me for the rest of our lives♫

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

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

♫Open the book of time♫

♫How should I read love to show I care?♫

Ye Beichen.

I miss you so much.

♫If love does not fail♫

I wish you were still alive.

♫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♫

I am always indecisive.

I must be a laughingstock to you.

Your moves on the board are hesitant and unsure today;

it seems your mind is elsewhere.

You truly know me.

I've been pondering deeply lately,

trying to find a path that satisfies both sides.

What kind of solution do you seek?

With the kingdom in my grasp

and the beauty by my side.

Sending the beauty out of the palace

would certainly benefit me.

But there are still many uncertainties.

[Grace and Talent]

Weiyang.

Weiyang.

It's getting late.

We should rest now.
