"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 23

My respects, Auntie.

King Yi sent an imperial edict for Saint Girl.

It's over. I'm done.

This short-lived ghost will sacrifice me, won't he?

I heard that King Yi was sick recently.

He needs to be healed by Saint Girl of the Saint Doctors' Family.

King Yi is sick?

Jinmi, if anything goes wrong with King Yi,

what will you do?

Auntie,

why don't you let me treat King Yi first?

If nothing goes wrong with my body,

that'd mean the Elixir has been successfully refined.

Then I will find another Snow Ginseng

and refine the Longevity Qiankun Elixir.

Don't worry.

I will follow the example of the former Saint Girls

and bear in mind the regulations of the Saint Doctors' Family.

I won't fail you

and the elders.

Now,

it's useless to focus on right or wrong.

Go and check

the physical conditions of King Yi first.

Yes. I'll take the imperial edict first.

King Yi, you must be fine.

Auntie, I don't know when I'll return.

If anything happens to me,

the next Saint Girl will be determined by Auntie.

Don't worry about the family.

I will handle it.

Beiyuan Villa has many rituals,

so it's not as free as in the family.

Be extremely careful.

Don't go beyond the limits of your actions nor forget your origin.

You should always remember your duty as Saint Girl.

Yes. I will remember your instructions.

Qianghuo, take care of the Saint Girl.

Report the physical condition of King Yi at all times.

Consider it done.

Respected Elders and Auntie, take care.

Auntie, the Qiankun Elixir was really taken by me.

If only Qianghuo returns alive,

please don't blame her.

Fruit stick!

Not bad, Qianghuo.

We had a really good cooperation.

Saint Girl, you're getting more and more daring.

How dare you lie to auntie?

I'm naive, too.

Qianghuo, look!

That looks delicious!

Stop!

Steamed buns!

-Hot steamed buns! -Jinmi,

let's have a look.

I want this, this and this.

I'll wrap them up for you.

I take them all. Enough?

-Yes, that's enough. -Thank you.

Thank you. See you.

-Slow down! Take it easy! Look at this! -Pastries!

Jinmi, I've never seen this before.

They look so delicious.

They really are delicious.

Since you think it's good, I'll buy all of them.

Tastes good?

-Here, lady! -You try it.

FORTUNETELLING

Your veil!

You're an orphan, right?

I never tell a fortune for others randomly.

I only choose the fated ones.

I think you two

must be good friends since very young.

You can even die for each other.

And you're charged with an important task.

I'm afraid this is going to have an inexorable doom.

Sir,

what inexorable doom do you mean?

This is something I can't divulge!

You're a fairy who came down to the mortal world.

JINMI FROM THE FLORAL REALM

Looks like you!

No man has ever seen my face in the past.

But the portrait looks just like me.

Is he really an expert from the outside world?

This time, your trip to the mortal world

is to find a man you truly love.

A man? You got it wrong!

Our Saint Girl will never get married.

Who is this man?

His name is Yanyou.

Yanyou?

Well...

What's written on it?

Sometimes be a man and sometimes be a woman.

And this is my notes taken when I read it,

just to make a memo.

"Pictures of the Beauties in the Six Realms."

-There they are! -Go!

Who are you?

I'm just a poor fortuneteller.

Telling from your faces, officers,

you will hit a bad patch.

Be careful with your feet.

Miss, please get on the cart.

Let's go.

Move.

Miss, I'm not done yet.

Where are you going?

Sir, I can't tell you

where she is going.

I'm on business today.

It's a pity that I have no time to ask for your suggestion.

But tomorrow I will be

at the Beiyuan Villa.

Would you meet us there?

You can tell our fortune and there'll be a reward.

That's right.

Sure.

-Let's go. -Move.

HOUSE OF FRAGRANCE

What is this place?

This is the House of Fragrance.

The best teahouse in town.

You had a long trip.

You can have a cup of tea and rest inside,

then head for the Beiyuan Villa.

Please!

HOUSE OF FRAGRANCE

Duke, please come in.

You must be the Saint Girl of the Saint Doctors' Family?

This is Duke Nanping.

Duke, why is he here?

My respects, Duke Nanping.

Take your seat.

I came to meet you in person today

because I'm truly worried about the physical condition of King Yi.

It's a great matter for our country of Huaiwu.

I'd like to have a deliberate discussion with you

about how to heal King Yi

and make him enjoy health and longevity

for the benefit of Huaiwu's people

and safeguard the prosperity of our country.

Don't worry, Duke Nanping.

The health of King Yi

is my family's main focus

and also my duty.

I will try my best

to cure His Majesty.

Thank you for that.

But...

I still have some details

to discuss with you alone.

Please come with me.

Take it.

Look at the lantern.

Special offer.

BEIYUAN VILLA

That Duke Nanping,

what did he say to you?

About the physical condition of King Yi,

I hope you can report it to me at all times.

I want to know how serious his illness is.

I know.

The mission of the Saint Doctors' Family is to be loyal to King Yi.

But you should think clearly

which is more important,

King Yi's one life or the hundreds of lives

of the Saint Doctors' Family are more important.

According to the regulations of the Saint Doctors' Family,

if His Majesty dies,

the Saint Girl will be buried with him.

However,

if you do what I say,

you can save your own life

and also the safety of everyone

in the Saint Doctors' Family.

Why do you look so dumb?

Is King Yi really

too sick to be saved?

No.

The Duke asked me to take good care of King Yi

and nurse him.

That's good.

The trip was smooth.

But after entering the town,

a fortuneteller came out all of a sudden.

He's a mystery.

Later, Duke Nanping's servant

led the Saint Girl to the House of Fragrance for a rest.

With too many eyes and ears, I stopped following

and didn't enter the House of Fragrance.

Later, Duke Nanping's servant

sent the Saint Girl to the posthouse for a rest.

A fortuneteller...

Go and check it out.

Yes. How about the House of Fragrance?

Check the fortuneteller first.

About what happened in the House of Fragrance,

I can guess a little bit without checking.

Yes.

Did she move the entire Saint Doctors' Family here?

Jinmi, before the court situation stabilizes,

I don't want you to take risks.

But since you're already here,

I'll do whatever I can

to keep you safe in this mess.

It seems King Yi

is not as ill as we thought.

We've already been here for a day.

He isn't eager to see you.

But...

the food here is really delicious.

They're all my favorite.

There's one thing that's weird.

I just heard the servants say that

there wasn't any consort in the Villa.

But the emperors have always had a big harem since ancient times.

It's also said that King Yi has a matchless

and peerless face.

There are countless girls in town who admire him.

But there is no consort in the mansion at all.

Jinmi, what do you think the reason is?

There's only one possibility.

What is it?

Qianghuo,

do you know what your name means?

It's acrid and warm, and has a strong ability

to release things to the surface.

It can mainly release Taiyang Channel's rheumatism.

It can also relieve chills and pain.

So it can be used for treating exogenous colds

and headaches without sweat, wet and cold stasis,

puffy swelling, sores and ulcers.

-That's all? -That's all.

Well,

you really don't know how to seize the key points while reading.

You didn't get its essence.

No wonder you haven't made any progress over the years.

Then what else is there?

The main effect of Qianghuo is

to warm the kidney and help enhance yang, absorb Qi and stop diarrhea.

It's used to reinforce Yang.

Anyway, it's related to male diseases.

Never mind, just forget it. You can take your time to comprehend it.

Saint Girl, His Majesty asked you to see him.

General Qintong has been waiting outside.

CLEAR RIVER AND CALM SEA

My respects, Your Majesty.

Have a seat.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, please give me your hand

so that I can diagnose your pulse.

As I see,

the pulse is not shallow nor deep but has even rhythm.

It's calm and gentle, fluid and strong.

There's no problem.

What's there to diagnose?

Your Majesty, do you feel any discomfort these days?

I feel sick both in my heart and liver.

And I often feel dizzy.

I have also lost my appetite and can't sleep well.

No.

These symptoms may be only said by His Majesty.

He deliberately did it to confuse others.

Is it possible that

he really has that kind of disease?

Your Majesty, there is no need to be worried and anxious.

Although I'm a woman,

I am first a doctor,

and then a woman.

A saying goes that gender is not considered among doctors.

So Your Majesty, you shouldn't have any burden in this aspect.

To be frank,

I've made great achievements in this field.

I'm proficient in studying it

and I'm afraid I'm unparalleled in this field in the world.

So I suggest

Your Majesty can try a herb, Qianghuo.

Qianghuo?

Exactly.

Apart from dispelling chills, relieving rheumatism and colds,

this medicine can also cure impo...

this medicine can also cure

your kidney deficiency.

You've made great achievements in this field

and you're proficient in studying it?

Is that what a lady supposed to say?

Your Majesty, there is no need to worry.

The Saint Doctors' Family

exists for the health of Your Majesty.

If Your Majesty can be healthy,

I'll exert all my strength and wisdom without any hesitation.

You think too much.

You're useless here.

I feel quite good.

Do you know why I asked you to come over here?

I don't know.

Aren't they the manuscripts of me and Crow?

How did they fall into the hands of King Yi?

Your Majesty, I...

Do you recognize them?

I... recognize them.

Do you have anything to say about them?

Your... Your Majesty,

I'm very guilty and deserve death.

What are your sins?

To save a friend who was seriously wounded,

I...

gave...

gave him the Snow Ginseng, the guiding drug

of the Longevity Qiankun Elixir, to eat.

But... I really didn't know

he is an enemy of Your Majesty.

When he was healed, he went away without saying goodbye.

So I have no idea of his whereabouts.

Enemy?

Do you ever regret saving him?

Never.

It's said that doctors should have a merciful heart.

If a doctor meets a dying man,

how could he do nothing to save him?

Just like a chevalier in the martial world,

how could he not draw a sword and help the person in need?

That's why I saved Crow.

I did it all out of instinct.

I have no regrets for that.

Your Majesty,

if you want to grant me death today,

I have no complaints.

But people in the Saint Doctors' Family,

they know nothing about it.

Please don't punish them, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, if you really want to execute me,

could you do it fast?

That would be great.

Are you really willing to die for Crow?

Death will come sooner or later.

I just beg your Majesty not to blame the Saint Doctors' Family.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, are you going out?

Kuanglu, I'm going out for a trip.

Take care of Xuanji Palace.

Yes.

Okay, stand up.

I dare not.

Then lift your head up

and see who I am.

Your Majesty has a majestic

and noble look,

and is tall and straight like a pine tree,

lofty like a jade mountain to collapse.

Your Majesty

has an overwhelming light which I dare not face.

So stubborn!

Come on.

-See who I am. -I dare not.

I dare not.

I'm Crow.

Crow!

How could it be you?

You scared me to death.

You can talk now.

You can hear me now.

Why aren't you just bandit? What are you doing here?

Your clothes

do make you look like a king.

You...

are not the real king, right?

Your Majesty!

I... I admit my sins.

I admit my sins.

Your Majesty, won't you kill me?

When did I say I'd kill you?

It's probably

what the fabled saying, a blessing in disguise means?

Crow said when he left that he'd repay the favor.

And he asked me to come here.

Won't it be that he will pay his debt of gratitude?

It's good to repay a favor.

But the royal extravagance is totally different

with such a long foreshadowing.

Your Majesty.

Here comes a battle report.

The Saint Girl has finished the diagnosis.

You come to the study with me.

Yes.

I never thought Crow would be King Yi.

Looks like I saved my petty life.

But I haven't diagnosed his illness.

How will I report to Duke Nanping?

And who was the person who poisoned King Yi?

Great Floral Fairy.

Jinmi is experiencing hardships in the mortal world.

Why does Your Highness come to the Floral Realm now?

I'm worried about her being alone in the mortal world.

I want to check it out.

So I hereby come to notify the Water Immortal.

You're really considerate!

Jinmi is ill-fated.

I want to ask Your Highness, do you truly love her

without distractions?

I surely do.

No doubt about it, Great Floral Fairy.

If one loves someone,

one will hope for equal devotion back.

Jinmi is like a barren land

which will never bloom

whatever seed you sow, whatever fertilizer you apply

and however you water it.

Dating her is like a stone sinking in the sea,

without any response.

If it's so time-consuming and troublesome, will your Highness fear that?

Why should I fear it?

If time is bound to be wasted,

I'm only willing to idle away the time with her.

But...

Why are you so pessimistic about Jinmi's love?

Jinmi is kind by nature.

It's just that she was born with indifferent feelings.

No one is good enough for her.

No one can open her heart.

But I should say

faith will move mountains.

If so,

then I hope Your Highness will have your wish fulfilled.

You seem to have something on your mind.

I know that

it's Jinmi's destiny to experience hardships.

But I'm still a little worried.

I want to...

You want to go down to the mortal world.

Yes.

Descending to the mortal world privately is a violation against the heavenly law.

For the sake of Mi,

so what if I violate the heavenly rules?

Bye for now.

I'll play chess with Mister Immortal next time.

Hold on.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

So Crow is King Yi.

And King Yi is Crow. Things are unpredictable!

YOU HAVE NO MORAL INTEGRITY

But the words that are annotated here

is exactly the same as Crow.

Is it possible that

Crow lied to me?

Like I said, taking the prescription I prepared,

he must have recovered within three days.

He lied to me, pretending not to hear me

and wrote down everything I said.

Did he do that to embarrass me deliberately?

Well, never mind.

I forgive his rudeness.

As long as Crow is safe and sound,

nothing else matters.

The Great Immortal...

I beg you to show your power.

Show your power.

Bless Crow. Bless His Majesty

a good physical health and longevity.

This way, I'll be buried with him to the netherworld a little later.

Bless me.

Bless me.

Don't be afraid, Jinmi.

The Great Immortal really makes its presence!

I'm not dreaming, right, The Great Immortal?

I'm not dreaming!

I've dreamed of you since I was a kid.

I told people but they didn't believe me.

I never thought I'd see an immortal today.

I really see you.

I had to be with you in the form of my primordial spirit in your dream.

If I don't show up now,

I'm afraid I can't keep you anymore.

It's not a dream right now.

I... I saw you in my dreams before.

You never say a word.

You... You're...

You're the King of Medicine, Sun Zhenren.

You're touched by my diligence and endeavor

-and so you show up to encourage me? -No.

So what kind of immortal are you?

I'm just...

an immortal herding the deer.

Well, where's your deer?

The deer didn't come. Just me.

An immortal herding deer is anyhow an immortal.

To show up for a mortal like me

would have been hard for The Great Immortal.

But I embarrassed him.

I really opened up a can of worms.

He must have felt embarrassed.

I think The Great Immortal's job

is very promising.

It's said in the story that

in those days, Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven,

stood out from a supervisor for Heavenly Horses

in the animal husbandry sector.

How amazing he was in his journey to the West later!

The Buddha even granted him

a title, The Monkey King.

And also Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals.

He herded a donkey before he became an immortal.

He became glorious and respectable later.

So I think

The Great Immortal has boundless prospects in the future.

Exactly the same.

Exactly the same? What do you mean by that?

Who am I exactly the same as?

A friend of mine.

She said the same thing as you did.

It's indeed my great honor

to say the same thing as your friend.

Well, that friend of yours, is she an immortal?

Exactly.

I didn't expect to be a little bit like an immortal.

Not just a little bit.

Jinmi, you can call me Runyu.

Can I?

Immortal Runyu.

BEIYUAN VILLA

The scent of the person who saved me that day

led me here.

Is it a coincidence or what?

Who are you?

Why did you use your magic prowess to save me?

And why did you sneak into the Beiyuan Villa?

Stop!

Spirit-Vanishing Arrow!

The moves...

Are you a friend I once knew?

As the Princess of the Demon Realm,

shouldn't you only think of killing me when you see it?

Why do you ask so many questions instead?

I didn't notice that

the firmament of our Demon Realm was so beautiful.

♫ Never wished to get into dispute, ♫

♫ But things never go my way ♫

What is this?

Today is your birthday.

I saw your mansion was filled with gifts.

I hope

Your Highness will not reject my shabby gift.

The gifts from the Six Realms

are all the same every year.

I've been bored with that.

To save my father's face, I had to go through the motions.

I'll punish you if I'm not satisfied.

You'll have to move everything in my storeroom to your own room.

So they won't take my place.

I hope Your Highness will like it.

What is this treasure?

What's so special about it?

It's a piece of pure brass that

I found in the furthest border in the mortal world.

You were missing for three months

because you went for this.

I saw the weapon of Your Highness.

Your Demon Bone Whip

is not easy to inlay with ornaments

like other swords.

So I found this piece of brass

and will engrave the name of Your Highness on it.

It's just going to fit.

How do you know I envy Xuanshou's sword tassels?

Let's engrave it now.

Your Highness, please wait.

If you use spells,

it would be nothing different

from the other gifts.

What do you mean?

Inside the Qingtian Cave,

the names we engrave together

and the time we spent together

will never disappear even after thousands of years.

They will become our memories

that we'll never forget.

That is the gift I'm going to give you.

You do have a mind on it.

I will always carry this gift.

It's your voice, Muci.

♫ My left hand holds the ground, my right hand holds the sky ♫

♫ Lightning bolts erupt out of my palm print and go in ten directions ♫

♫ I quickly turn time into years ♫

♫ In three thousand lifetimes, I've seen it all ♫

♫ My left hand picks flowers, my right hand wields a sword ♫

♫ Between my brows, an entire 10,000 years' of snow has fallen ♫

♫ One teardrop ♫

♫ That is who I am ♫

♫ My left-hand's finger touches the moon, my right hand is selecting Red Threads ♫

♫ To bestow upon you and I, our desired and predestined love ♫

♫ In the moonlight ♫

♫ You and I ♫

♫ My left hand transforms into feathers, my right hand becomes scales ♫

♫ Some of my lives are spent in the clouds, some are in the forests ♫

♫ I'm willing to follow you and become a speck of dust ♫

♫ In order to emerge in this mortal life ♫

♫ My left hands picks you up, my right hand lets go of you ♫
