[The Night is Still Young]

[Episode 6]

She likes to add a touch of cornel to her storax incense.

Have someone send it to her tomorrow.

Your Highness, you clearly hold the Queen dear to your heart,

yet you refuse to show even a hint of your affection.

I even feel pained for you.

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

Heaven has granted me a second chance to make amends

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

and protect her.

That is already more than I deserve.

♫Lifting a cold lamp, illuminating the city♫

But, Your Highness,

this is too much suffering for you.

♫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♫

In this world,

one can avoid anything...

and endure anything,

♫Chasing memories of years gone by♫

♫Geese pass, leaving only regrets and cries♫

but when it comes to loving someone...

I know clearly she is like the moon,

♫Our love was a mutual mistake♫

and I should stay as far away as possible,

but I still have a selfish desire.

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

And I hope

that one day, the moonlight will shine upon me.

♫Lighting another stick of sandalwood♫

However...

she and I are destined for a tragic end.

♫Burning the bitterness of parting♫

♫Looking back, life is but a dream♫

So why explain everything...

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

and risk stirring her heartstrings, only to cause pain?

♫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♫

This is... storax incense with cornel?

♫Our love was a mutual mistake♫

Your Highness,

the storax incense you used before

was all common incense bought from the perfume shop.

His Highness noticed you didn't like it,

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

so he had a touch of cornel added specifically for you.

How did he know that I like this?

♫Lighting another stick of sandalwood♫

Thank you.

♫Burning the bitterness of parting♫

It's my duty.

♫Looking back, life is but a dream♫

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

♫Our love was a mutual mistake♫

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

How did you know

that I like to add cornel to my storax incense?

♫Lighting another stick of sandalwood♫

I also know that you like the chestnut cake from the Divine Pastry Shop,

♫Burning the bitterness of parting♫

the hibiscus pastries from Cuiwei Street,

♫Looking back, life is but a dream♫

and the rouge and powder from Jinxiu Garden.

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

You've been investigating me for a long time.

Could it not be because I care for you?

Your Highness.

Your Highness, there's a royal decree from the palace.

You're summoned to the palace immediately.

Your Majesty,

you must uphold justice for me!

For three generations, my family has rendered meritorious service to the court.

We've also shed blood for you, Your Majesty.

You can't show favoritism

and disappoint the hearts of your loyal ministers,

Your Majesty.

Who dares to speak of merits in my presence?

Ye Bei...

King Yan, you...

Greetings, Your Majesty.

King Xuannan accuses you of attacking him without reason

and wants me to punish you for the crime of assaulting royalty.

Is that true?

Indeed, I am responsible for it.

If not for King Xuannan's role in guarding Yunnan,

he would have already died without a proper burial place.

You!

Your Majesty,

I've always heard that King Yan is arrogant and domineering.

Now that I've seen it for myself,

he cannot even restrain himself in your presence.

Nonsense.

What exactly is going on here?

Feng Xuanyi was so brazen

as to attempt to take liberties with my fiancée.

Y-You're spewing vicious lies.

You accuse me of molesting her, but what evidence do you have?

I have evidence!

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness.

I can no longer tolerate

King Xuannan's distortion of the truth.

You may rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

What evidence do you have? Speak freely.

These are the bondage marks left by the whip

when King Xuannan attempted to molest me.

How can a small whip mark

also serve as evidence?

Maybe it was left because you two

were fooling around in the bedroom.

Feng Xuanyi,

we have both witnesses and physical evidence.

What else can you say in your defense?

Your Majesty, I...

Pass on my decree.

King Xuannan is unbridled in his tyranny and lacking in moral conduct.

He is fined 100,000 taels of silver,

to be used for flood control in the southeastern region.

Guards!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Please, we can talk this through,

but don't fine me the silver.

Please don't fine me the silver!

Gentler, gentler.

Your Majesty!

Weiyang.

Weiyang.

Mingxuan.

How are you?

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

I can't believe that Feng Xuanyi would do such a despicable thing to you.

But... you should have told me.

I didn't want to involve you anymore.

Compared to the throne and my prospects,

I care more about your safety.

By the way,

when you saved me outside the court that day,

did you see anyone else?

I didn't.

Weiyang,

life is like a game of chess, where it's hard to distinguish the truth from lies.

You must not

be deceived by Ye Beichen's sweet words.

Perhaps this time,

it's just another of his strategic moves to test us.

Go back to the mansion with me.

[Henglong Delivery Shop]

Just now, in front of everyone...

No need to thank me.

I just wanted the person who hurt me

to receive the punishment they deserved.

What I meant to say was

that you speaking up for me in front of everyone

may invite criticism.

What?

Are you afraid I'll tarnish your reputation?

Fine then,

go ask the Emperor to cancel our engagement right now.

That way, we can live our separate lives in peace

and never see each other again.

How is that possible?

I went to great lengths to make you my fiancée.

♫In this life, once more♫

♫To experience this rise and fall♫

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

Never mind.

♫Can I be spared from the fate♫

Let's consider this as me returning the favor.

Returning the favor?

♫Of being forgotten by each other?♫

What do you mean?

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

♫Partings and reunions come alive on the page♫

That time at the court,

it was you who saved me, wasn't it?

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

It was but a small gesture.

[Shaobing]

♫The world is eternal, and longing lasts long♫

♫Turn that unwillingness into meaning♫

♫Turn regret into sorrow♫

♫Time slowly tells the stories of the past♫

Why haven't you taken action yet?

As for when to act,

I have my own plans.

I don't need you to order me around.

You should know

the consequences of defying me.

The longer you delay,

the worse it will be for you.

Mark my words.

Your Highness, how about this one?

Where's my hairpin?

Are you looking for this?

Why do you have it?

Are you painting with clear water?

No, I'm just testing the brush.

Do you need anything else?

No, nothing.

Painting with clear water.

When the water dries, won't everything disappear?

He's being deliberately mysterious.

What is he writing?

Colorless and odorless.

But no matter the words,

I'll make you reveal.

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

I have arranged everything

for the matter you've instructed.

If there is even the slightest movement,

the Eagle Guards will respond immediately.

Very good.

Next, we...

Your Highness.

Brother Beichen?

Brother Beichen.

I've brought you some ginseng tea.

Brother Beichen,

you don't look well.

Your pulse is feeble, and your breathing erratic.

Brother Beichen, you've been poisoned.

Poisoned? How could His Highness have been poisoned?

Who is there?

It's you.

Sneaking around here like this.

Did you poison him?

Don't make false accusations.

It wasn't me. I didn't do it.

What's that in your hand?

This? This is...

I knew it was you.

How dare you.

I simply made a mistake in my cultivation,

which caused a reversal of my qi and blood.

Brother Beichen,

I did all of this for you.

But why do you always protect this woman?

Because she is my woman.

As for you,

you need to know your place.

Both of you, leave!

Yes, Your Highness.

Ye Beichen.

♫The wind stirs the war flames, and the rain-soaked fur returns with the geese♫

Are you really poisoned?

♫In the capital, the pace of carriages and horses is slow♫

Take me to the back mountain.

Be careful.

♫Several lifetimes of devotion, yet this bond remains unresolved♫

♫Entangled in grudges, love hangs by a thread♫

♫Unable to part with the eyes♫

♫I point to the moon, questioning beneath it, before the city tower♫

♫She's in red♫

♫With angry eyes, a word severs grudges♫

♫A sword in the heart, a farewell waves over the land♫

♫This life has slipped away, the next life will be complete♫

♫A heart of purest jade♫

You know full well I want nothing more than to kill you.

♫In the dim night, searching for her, past a thousand sails♫

♫Watching the snow fall, year after year♫

Yet why did you still save

and protect me?

♫The song is not over, making a promise to grow old together♫

What...

are your real intentions?

Now is the perfect opportunity to kill Ye Beichen!

Find him quickly!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

Stop right there!

Retreat.

♫The wind stirs the war flames, and the rain-soaked fur returns with the geese♫

♫In the capital, the pace of carriages and horses is slow♫

♫Several lifetimes of devotion, yet this bond remains unresolved♫

Who sent them?

♫Entangled in grudges, love hangs by a thread♫

A black snake tattoo?

There are many tribes in the southwest region,

♫Unable to part with the eyes♫

and all use animals as totems.

The Xuannan Army soldiers bear their snake totem tattoo on their left shoulders.

♫I point to the moon, questioning beneath it, before the city tower♫

It's Feng Xuanyi again.

♫She's in red♫

♫With angry eyes, a word severs grudges♫

Put me down.

If you don't want to be crippled for life,

♫A sword in the heart, a farewell waves over the land♫

remain still.

♫This life has slipped away, the next life will be complete♫

I'm curious.

You were so deeply poisoned just now.

Why did you recover so quickly?

♫A heart of purest jade♫

The method of cultivation I practice is unique.

♫In the dim night, searching for her, past a thousand sails♫

I can control Gu worms to heal wounds.

♫Watching the snow fall, year after year♫

Then doesn't that mean

♫The song is not over, making a promise to grow old together♫

you'd be immortal in that Gu worms cave?

♫The night is still young, I will not betray the people♫

If you stab me in the heart,

I will still die.

♫Nor will I betray her♫

♫This empty city is so regrettable without you♫

Thank you for arriving just in time earlier.

♫Even if the skies fall♫

♫Covering my eyes♫

♫In the next life, no more separations♫
