[The Night is Still Young]

[Episode 9]

[Gengyin, Wuyin]

Who are you?

How dare you use a dragon as a sacrifice?

Third Prince,

the Qiankun Pearl you requested has been placed in the formation.

Mission accomplished.

You're spewing lies!

When did I ever tell you to steal the Qiankun Pearl?

Third Prince, you can't deny that!

Without your backing,

no matter how bold I am,

I wouldn't dare do such a thing!

Well, well,

you dare to slander me!

As fo the facts,

you can explain them before His Majesty.

Your Majesty,

these were all found in the cave.

This is the Spirit-Binding Curse.

This is my birthday.

[Gengyin, Wuyin]

Father.

Father, I've been wronged!

I received a lead

and went to the cave to search for the Qiankun Pearl.

It's him. He's framing me!

King Yan,

what are the facts?

Let me investigate further,

and the truth will reveal itself.

Huo Dao,

you are the Fifth Prince's man.

Why were you in the cave with the Third Prince?

I dare not deceive you.

I was ordered by the Third Prince to find the Qiankun Pearl.

After obtaining it today,

I delivered it to the cave as instructed by the Third Prince.

You're talking nonsense!

You're twisting the truth!

You grew up with the Fifth Prince,

willing to risk your life for him.

Finding the Qiankun Pearl is such a great achievement.

Why didn't you present it to your own master?

I...

Did you betray your master,

or is there something else going on?

Tell the truth.

This was given to me by the Third Prince.

[House deed in Ye City]

This...

I clearly gave the East Suburb Villa

to Wanniang, the top courtesan at Beauty House.

How did it end up with you?

Did the Third Prince really give this to you?

You betrayed your master

just for a villa?

A villa alone is not something too valuable,

but what about the positions of Grand Commander and Grand General?

I've been practicing martial arts since I was three years old,

honing my skills to perfection.

A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on.

How could I be content to always follow you,

a prince who has no ambition for fame or fortune!

You dog-like servant!

I've treated you well since you were young.

The poison is in his teeth.

He came prepared.

It was you!

You ordered your servant to frame me!

I'll fight you to the death!

Guards!

Take this rebellious son to the imperial prison

and await my judgment.

Father!

I've been wronged!

Hurry up!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father,

it's my fault for failing to properly instruct my servants.

Ye Mingxuan is truly ruthless.

To save himself,

he didn't even hesitate to sacrifice his right-hand man.

Drag this insolent servant out as well.

Lest he sullies my imperial study.

Although this matter does not concern you directly,

it is still due to your negligence in instructing your subordinates.

Go back and reflect on this thoroughly.

I will heed Your Majesty's teachings.

You may rise.

Thank you, Father.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

The Qiankun Pearl has been found.

Yes.

No matter what,

the Qiankun Pearl has finally been recovered.

In recovering the Qiankun Pearl this time,

King Yan deserves the highest merit.

I was not mistaken.

King Yan is indeed experienced in statecraft.

The Qiankun Pearl has been missing for so many days.

It's time for it to be returned to its rightful place.

I command you to personally return the Qiankun Pearl to its original position

to secure the foundation of our nation.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Highness,

His Majesty, considering your plea,

has pardoned the Third Prince from the death penalty.

However, he cannot escape other punishment.

He has been demoted to a commoner and sent to Lingnan.

After learning that the Qiankun Pearl had been returned,

the people of Ye City took to the streets to celebrate.

It's King and Queen Yan.

They are the ones who retrieved the Qiankun Pearl.

By dipping the cypress branch in holy water and brushing it over the body,

the illness and misfortune can be swept away.

Your Highness, Queen Yan,

let us pray for blessings together.

Yes, Your Highness.

I wish for the people of Great Ye to be healthy and harmonious.

May Great Ye enjoy eternal peace.

Good!

♫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♫

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

♫Watching the snow fall, year after year♫

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

Your Highness,

now that the Queen has glimpsed the true nature of the Fifth Prince,

even if just a little.

This way,

the misunderstanding between you and her will also be resolved.

The sooner she sees through Ye Mingxuan,

the sooner she'll be out of danger.

When that time comes, the Queen

will surely understand your good intentions

and your love.

Your Highness, I…

That's enough.

No need to go further.

My Queen, unable to sleep late at night,

who are you worrying about?

I'm thinking about Ye Mingxuan.

The figure who injured Huan Yan

and stole the Qiankun Pearl

bears a 70% resemblance to him.

Was Huo Dao really bought by the Third Prince,

or was he just his scapegoat?

The answer to this question is actually quite simple.

The answer is in your heart.

I'm naturally very familiar with his figure,

but that person's appearance

was completely different from

his usual gentle and refined self.

But pretending to be pure and kind

is his specialty.

A man should be as clear as ten thousand miles.

And he should be as bright as the sun and moon.

Good thing we agreed on a secret signal beforehand.

Otherwise, during the day at the Beauty House,

if you had pushed open the door,

the consequences would've been unimaginable.

What's the point of dodging it once?

In the end, it was all for nothing.

After all,

you still managed to be cleared of charges

and successfully frame the Third Prince.

You've narrowly escaped the disaster.

This time, I had to pay a hefty price to save myself.

I really had no other choice.

It's a pity to lose such a capable assistant.

Ye Beichen used Huan Yan

to turn the tables on me.

We stole the Qiankun Pearl

to create chaos in Great Ye.

But I didn't expect we'd pave the way for Ye Beichen.

Ye Beichen

is our real nemesis.

Those things he told me—

how many of them were true

and how many were false?

It's a bit bitter

and astringent,

but only after drinking it

will you taste the sweetness.

Ye Beichen,

thank you this time.

♫Reciting a verse, dreaming of a scene of♫

Otherwise, I would've remained in the dark.

♫Similar pasts♫

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

I'll use tea instead of wine

to drink a toast to you.

♫Looking up and seeing the moonlight♫

♫Just like in a past life♫

♫This moment's wish is to be together♫

So, you've seen his true colors now?

♫In this life, once more♫

♫To experience this rise and fall♫

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

Now, I feel

♫Can I be spared from the fate♫

I can't see you clearly anymore.

♫Of being forgotten by each other?♫

Whether you see me clearly or not isn't important.

♫Holding a solitary lamp♫

I just want you to remember,

♫To part ways with that old acquaintance♫

when someone close stabs you in the back,

♫This life is lonely, the road stretches endlessly♫

being able to dodge is what matters.

♫Parting ways, free as water and clouds♫

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

Why are you doing all this?

Is it to protect me?

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

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

I just want you to understand

♫Memories linger, refusing to fade quietly♫

Ye Mingxuan has a side deeper than you imagined.

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

♫Partings and reunions come alive on the page♫

If he truly had treasonous intentions,

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

why would he go to such lengths

♫The world is eternal, and longing lasts long♫

to return the Qiankun Pearl

and stabilize the people's hearts in Great Ye?

♫Turn that unwillingness into meaning♫

But if he has no ambition,

♫Turn regret into sorrow♫

why does he insist on marrying me

♫Time slowly tells the stories of the past♫

to gain the Shangguan family's power?

Flowers in the mist are not flowers;

the moon reflected in the water is not the moon.

How can I see things more clearly?

My lady,

this year's blessing cards are quite innovative.

Who would you like to pray for?

Naturally, for my father.

I pray for his health and longevity.

Won't you pray for His Highness, my lady?

I feel that

His Highness truly cares for you.

[May eternity]

My lady,

someone has already prayed for you.

Where did you find these?

There were some discarded ones over there.

I happened to come across them.

[Shangguan Weiyang]

This isn't Master's handwriting.

Is it the Fifth Prince's?

This isn't Ye Mingxuan's handwriting either.

Then, whose handwriting is this?

My lady, do you recognize this handwriting?

I don't.

Yue,

let's go now.

My lady,

the handwriting on this

is exactly the same as these.

[Shangguan Weiyang]

I see.

This must be His Highness praying for you.

[Shangguan Weiyang]

He must have felt that these few

weren't written well enough and discarded them.

It's the first time I saw

someone insisting on writing the name beautifully

while praying for another.

[Shangguan Weiyang]

Your Highness,

the materials for making this year's blessing lanterns

♫Who inquires amidst the dim lights♫

have already been prepared.

Why the sudden change to blessing strips?

♫These stars that fill the sky♫

The lantern materials are hard and sharp.

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

I'm afraid the Queen might hurt her fingers again.

♫Blame the depth of our love♫

Why did he replace the blessing lanterns?

And how did he know about

♫Meeting you feels like encountering an old friend♫

my injury from the lantern in my previous life?

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

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

[Past Life]

♫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?♫

My lady.

♫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♫

♫Accompany you to the twilight years♫

♫If one life and one death are our destiny♫

Your Majesty,

the fireworks incident was not an accident.

Someone deliberately planned it.

Young Gu worms are poison, mature Gu worms are medicine.

That's why I used my own blood to feed the Gu worm,

to make it mature early

and become a remedy for all ailments.

♫Who inquires amidst the dim lights♫

I have seen her wear it once,

and I don't want to see it a second time.

♫These stars that fill the sky♫

Are we just going to sit here?

Aren't we going to chase the black market leader?

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

No need to rush.

She'll be here soon.

♫Blame the depth of our love♫

We can just wait for her to come to us.

♫Meeting you feels like encountering an old friend♫

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

Ye Beichen,

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

how can you predict things in advance so many times,

♫How can I join you in this life?♫

always staying one step ahead?

Is it a coincidence,

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

or perhaps,

you are reborn

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

like me?

♫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♫

[Past Life]

♫Accompany you to the twilight years♫

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

Why am I here?

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

It's Huan Yan.

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

She must have drugged me and locked me up here.

♫Open the book of time♫

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

Is anyone there?

Help!

Is anyone there?

♫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♫

Your Highness,

why is it you?

Put me down.

Your foot is injured.

Men and women should keep their distance.

Put me down.

[Shangguan Weiyang]

Your Highness,

everything has been arranged according to your plan.

Bad news! Bad news!

Your Highness, my lady has disappeared!
