"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 59

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

-What are you doing? -Don't move.

What?

What do you want? Let go of me!

Mi, listen.

I will never let you go.

The wedding ceremony will be held as scheduled.

Are you crazy? You...

Mi, I will never ever let you leave me.

Xufeng, you are in low spirits.

Haven't you made a decision?

So many years have passed.

Xufeng, don't you want to find out the truth?

Don't you want to know who the culprit is

who killed the Water Immortal and cast the blame on you,

causing you to suffer so much?

Sometimes the closer you are to the truth,

the more dreadful you will feel.

Xufeng, you know what's in your heart.

In the Heavenly Realm,

I used to hate injustice like poison,

and distinguished things as either black or white.

In order to find out the assassin who intended to kill me

and cast the blame on Runyu,

I also used some means.

But I didn't expect

behind that case,

there were so many people involved.

Yanyou, the Rat Fairy, Suli, the Water Immortal,

and even the entire Water Family in Dongting Lake,

they were all involved.

Even my father and mother were involved.

Even if I find out the truth,

what benefit will it bring about?

Husband and wife quarreled,

brothers fought against each other,

father and son became enemies. Endless revenges...

In that shocking gamble in the Heavenly Realm,

nobody was the winner.

But the misdeed is wrong.

Someone must pay for his or her misdeeds.

The Water and Wind Immortals were killed. And you were wronged.

If you let the real murderer get away,

I am afraid that she will take the chance

to kill more innocent people.

You are right.

I'm too soft-hearted.

No. You can't see it clearly because you are involved in this matter.

She has always been affectionate to you.

I know it's really hard to make the decision.

I'm really very sorry to ask you for this favor,

which may bring you troubles and inconvenience.

I felt really guilty in front of Muci and the King of Bian City.

You regarded me as an outsider again.

Muci and my father have always been open-minded.

They don't see things superficially.

Xufeng, don't worry.

What's more, the fake one can't turn into the true one.

This is a golden rule, especially in the Demon Realm.

Not everyone can pass the test

of the heart-testing stone.

Xufeng, after our wedding,

I will manage to cure your autophagy pain caused by the Golden Elixir,

even if I have to fight against all the people of the Heavenly Realm.

Your Highness, you are so beautiful.

Nobody can compare with you.

Tomorrow you will pass the heart-testing stone,

proving that you and my Lord are a perfect match.

What heart-testing stone?

Xufeng, don't blame me.

I believe that we love each other.

But love can't stand all tests.

Mr. Puchi.

How come even the summoning spell doesn't work now?

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

You got the wrong person.

There is no Heavenly Empress here.

Today is the wedding day of His Majesty and you.

You deserve this title.

Congratulations, your Majesty. In all the six realms,

people like His Majesty, who are so loving and faithful, are very rare.

I agree.

How can there be such a man in this world

who is so good to a girl?

If anything, it's just an illusion.

The so-called infatuation

is just fake.

If you don't have that experience personally,

how can you know the bloodiness

behind the gentleness?

The auspicious moment is coming.

Please get dressed, Your Majesty.

If you want to be the Heavenly Empress, then go ahead.

In short, I won't be the Heavenly Empress.

Your Majesty.

What's going on here?

Your Majesty.

It's okay. You may leave.

I want to talk to the Water Immortal alone.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Everything is okay. You may go. Go, go, go.

I'm here now. Why don't you welcome me yourself? My beauty,

you shouldn't be so indifferent to me

by taking advantage of my love for you.

My beauty, you should know that

the Heavenly Emperor can take many concubines besides the Heavenly Empress.

My beauty, look at me carefully.

Is there any difference?

You are so stubborn.

Then let me...

train you,

my beauty.

Okay, Your Majesty,

let me serve you well.

Have you played enough, Your Majesty?

-So you have already found out it's me. -Of course.

Do you think your acting performance is good?

Jinmi, I was summoned by your grievance last night.

I have been wakeful all night because of you.

-You have no idea how sly Runyu is. -All right.

Even Danzhu's instrument doesn't work anymore.

I have risked my life to save you.

Are you going to keep treating me like this?

-All right. All right. -You really have no conscience.

Mr. Puchi, I will never ever forget

the big favor you did me. Are you satisfied now?

-I'm sad now. -Enough.

I haven't asked you yet. How did you manage to slip in?

He's smart,

but I'm smarter than him.

Did you steal this under his nose?

It took me so much effort.

Runyu is still a night owl,

even though he has become the Heavenly Emperor.

I had no choice but to wait until he fell asleep.

I almost fell asleep while I was waiting.

When dawn broke,

he finally fell asleep, which provided a chance for me to take it.

Can you change back and then talk to me?

You are wearing this face talking to me.

It's very awkward.

Really? I also think so.

I'm the most handsome man in all the six realms.

Are you done? Do I have to remind you?

Kuanglu is very clever. No more delays.

Let's hurry back to the Floral Realm.

-Jinmi, wait a moment. -Where are you going?

What are you doing?

Hurry up.

No.

What a nuisance!

Let's go.

THE SCRIPTURE ATTIC

-Your Majesty, -Why are you here?

Has everything at the Empyrean Cloud Palace been arranged in order?

You, you have gone back to the Xuanji Palace

to see the Water Immortal, haven't you? Why are you here now, Your Majesty?

Today is His Majesty's big wedding day. Keep your spirit high, brothers.

-Yes. -Hello, bros.

Hi. Hi. Hi.

Happy wedding day, Your Majesty and Miss Immortal.

May you guys share my happiness.

Today's my wedding day.

May you guys share my happiness.

Here are red packets for you. One for each.

One for each. Take it.

There is much power inside. Keep it safe.

-Take it. Take it. -Thank you, Your Majesty.

-Take it. -Thank you, Your Majesty.

Help me give out these red packets.

-What trick are you playing? -What?

Today is our wedding day. I'm happy.

Well, today is my wedding day.

Why do you guys look so upset?

I'm happy. And you have to be happy, too.

If I'm in a good mood, I'll give rewards to you all.

It's the wedding convention of the Floral Realm.

Just take it.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Miss Immortal.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Miss Immortal.

The wedding ceremony of me and the Water Immortal is to be held tonight.

Please work your shifts carefully.

I definitely won't treat you badly.

Please be assured, Your Majesty.

We'll do our best to guarantee peace and safety in the Heavenly Realm.

Lord Pojun, those bad guys in the Demon Realm

can take any means available in order to get what they want.

Someone may change their shape into mine,

and come here to deceive you guys.

Yes, Your Majesty. I got it.

Your Majesty, are you okay?

You hit me so hard.

It's a flirting trick.

The fool is coming. He's coming.

I borrowed the Water Immortal

to explore the essence of spiritual practice.

Yanyou!

I'm dead!

Where is the Water Immortal?

How dare you! How dare you pretend to be His Majesty.

Take him down.

How dare you!

Can't you even recognize me?

His Majesty has the natural treasure, mermen tears.

How do you prove that you are the real Heavenly Emperor?

Can you only recognize the merman tears?

Can't you recognize my Red Clouds Sword?

I'm guilty, Your Majesty.

A villain pretended to be you and took the Water Immortal away.

I didn't notice it. I'm guilty.

How long has it been since they left?

About one hour.

-Come with me. -Yes, Your Majesty.

I won't marry him.

-That's the whole story. -What?

It's really hard to judge a person's true nature from his or her appearance.

A bad bamboo can't produce good bamboo shoots.

The new Heavenly Emperor

is even better at scheming than the past Heavenly Emperor Taiwei.

Jinmi, we will definitely try our best to protect you.

But I'm afraid that the news of you running away won't be secret long.

We must make plans quickly.

Runyu won't hurt me.

Now, the most urgent matter is to find Hairy Feather,

to cure Xufeng's autophagy pain caused by the Golden Elixir.

Hairy Feather grows near the lake.

Let Mr. Hu take you there.

Bad news!

The Heavenly Emperor and his soldiers are coming.

So soon.

We should never let Jinmi be under his control again.

Take Jinmi,

and run away through the back hall.

I will deal with things outside.

-Okay. -Let's go.

Go. Go. Go. Go.

I didn't know you were coming here, Your Majesty.

Sorry for not having welcomed you in time.

Great Floral Fairy, you have been safe and sound.

How come you are here now, Your Majesty?

Today, I'm here for two things.

One is to take Mi back to finish our wedding ceremony.

The other is to invite the floral chiefs

to the Empyrean Heaven and attend our wedding ceremony as witnesses.

What? Jinmi is not in the Heavenly Realm?

Mi was tempted by someone.

She came here to get the Hairy Feather herb for that demon, Xufeng.

What? Haven't you seen her, Great Floral Fairy?

Our young master is missing because of your poor supervision.

We haven't accused you yet.

How come you are here to ask us to give you Jinmi?

You don't know the twists and turns and misunderstandings

in this matter.

But I don't want this trivial matter

to affect our relationship.

Misunderstanding?

Your Majesty, you led these well-armed soldiers

and came here directly to disturb the peace of our Floral Realm.

I'm terrified.

I don't know what the misunderstanding is in this matter.

It's a matter of expediency. Sorry for having been rude.

The wedding today has been proclaimed in all the six realms.

Jinmi is the Heavenly Empress recognized by people all over the world.

I hope that you will take the overall interests into account,

and look for Jinmi with us.

This is just your side of the story, Your Majesty.

Jinmi is not an ignorant child.

If she left, there must have been some reason for it.

If you insist on siding with Jinmi regardless of her mistake,

then don't blame me for being rude.

You!

How dare you!

Your Majesty, this is the Floral Realm.

The Floral Realm has always been an indispensable part of the Heavenly Realm

since the very beginning of this world.

The past Heavenly Emperor was lenient, and the past Floral Immortal died early

so that the power was transferred into another's hands.

You have intervened in the affairs beyond your duties for several thousand years.

Have you forgotten the rule of superiority and inferiority?

We are just doing what is required by the late Floral Immortal. We didn't...

Your Majesty,

then what do you want us to do?

You should learn how to be a subordinate.

You'd better pray that Jinmi will become the Heavenly Empress smoothly.

Only in this way can you guarantee peace in the Floral Realm.

-Don't go inside. -Don't go inside.

Show yourself.

You have crossed me in everything.

Don't you feel guilty in front of our mother who has passed away?

Runyu,

I really don't want you to keep doing wrong anymore.

Where is Jinmi?

She has left the Flower Realm. She's gone.

-Don't you believe me? -If she had left,

she wouldn't have left you here to stop me.

-Give it to me. -What?

What you stole from me.

Whether you can get it or not depends on your ability, Your Majesty.

Fairy Shangyuan,

I heard that the Water Immortal ran away this morning.

Is the wedding ceremony going to be held as scheduled?

-As scheduled. -Yes.

Jinmi.

-Lianqiao. -How come you are here?

I am looking for Hairy Feather. I can't find it anywhere. Why?

Hairy Feather?

-Is it that? -What?

Are you looking for the thing that looks like a small umbrella

-and also kind of looks like feathers? -Yes. Yes. That's it.

Have you seen it? Where is it?

Jinmi,

a few days ago, my mother picked all the herbs

to make mutton dumplings for me.

What?

Do you know that it can save people's life?

If you want to eat mutton dumplings,

you can put spring onions or carrots in the dumplings.

Why did you put Hairy Feather?

I don't like spring onions.

And Mr. Hu wouldn't let me eat carrots.

It's a reckless waste. I'm anxious to...

-What should we do now, Jinmi? -Don't touch me.

Don't blame her.

-It's not too late to plant it now. -Mr. Hu. How?

Mi. Mi. Mr. Hu, where is the Hairy Feather?

It hasn't been planted yet.

-You... -Well, you guys protect me.

-I'll plant it now. -Okay.

Come. Honghong,

I heard that the Heavenly Emperor had cast

an escape proof net in the Floral Realm to look for Little One.

Don't panic. Yanyou is stopping him.

-I couldn't stop him. -You!

Mi, it seems that he is determined to take you back this time.

Can you buy one hour for me?

Yes, we can. We'll try our best to stop him.

Honghong, we all count on you this time.

I haven't shown my real power for a long time. Let me have a try.

Okay. Try it.

It's Attached Love.

Honghong, I haven't seen this amazing magic

of yours for six thousand years.

The best steel should be used to make the knife's edge.

You are still very powerful.

Runyu can't break this ward without three hours of his present power.

Mi, don't worry. Just focus on planting the herb.

-Okay. -Mr. Puchi,

you stay here protecting Jinmi.

We three are to distract the attention of those soldiers.

-No more delay. Let's go. -Go.

Hurry.

General, I didn't find her.

Go get him.

Stop.

Your Majesty, the Water Immortal is not here.

-You may go. -Yes, Your Majesty.

Set up the battle formations.

It's just a small trick.

Uncle.

Your Majesty, if you still regard me as your uncle,

then listen to me.

-Let go of her. -Uncle,

if you still regard me as the Heavenly Emperor,

then don't intervene in this matter.

Mi,

actually, I owe you an apology.

Why?

To be honest,

I am the adopted son of Runyu's biological mother, Lady Dongting.

No wonder...

No wonder I always feel that there is some connection

that is hard to explain between you and Runyu.

Now I see.

I was raised by my foster mother.

The time when I stayed with her

is much longer than the time when Runyu stayed with her.

At the beginning,

in order to take revenge on the Heavenly Empress,

she attempted to hurt Xufeng many times.

In order to repay her,

I had to do many misdeeds against my conscience.

I did make use of you at the beginning.

I induced you to attend the birthday banquet of the Heavenly Empress.

But I really didn't expect that

it would get you involved in such a dangerous situation.

The terrible things that happened later,

no mater if they were artificial or destined,

were not what I wanted.

Sorry, Mi.

I guess it's too late for my apology.

If it were in the past, I definitely wouldn't forgive you.

But after going through all these things,

I gradually find that

things are not simply black or white.

And nothing is constant.

I'll never forget

how you protected me and Rourou from Qiongqi.

You are always my benefactor.

You are my friend.

You were my friend. You are my friend.

And in the future, you will still be my friend.

Mi, now that we have confessed to each other,

can our relationship be closer now?

I have made matches for people for several thousand years.

I come to realize that nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable.

Why are you so stubborn?

The most unreliable thing in the world is people's minds.

It changes. Why should I give up?

People can't stand being used.

Jinmi doesn't love you,

not because you can't compare with Xufeng,

but because of all the deliberate actions and scheming

can't compare with a pure heart.

Ask yourself.

Throughout your life,

who have you treated with sincerity?

Others may not know my situation at that time.

Don't you even know that, uncle?

If I had treated others with sincerity,

I would have been doomed once I made any mistake.

There are not many people like Tuyao.

If you don't treat others with sincerity,

how can you expect others to treat you with sincerity?

Put yourself in my shoes.

Over all these years,

who has really put himself in my shoes?

When I was perplexed and helpless,

who stood out and spoke for me?

Now,

none of you has the right to tell me what to do

and judge me.

Jinmi!

-Bad news! -What happened, Lianqiao?

The Heavenly Emperor and the Match-Maker are fighting.

It seems the Match-Maker can't hold out for long.

Jinmi!

Mr. Puchi, give this to Phoenix.

It's planted by you. You should give it to him yourself.

I can't leave.

If I leave, the Floral Realm will be in trouble. Please.

You!

You are block-headed.

Why do you give up all the snakes for a bird,

and then throw yourself into a dragon's arms?

Let me tell you something. He looks very innocent,

but actually his heart is darker and more turbid

than the mire in Taihu Lake.

He is wicked, narrow-minded and skeptical.

He always bears grudges against others. He is shrewd.

Let me tell you something.

If you go on like this, you will be under his full control.

Sooner or later, he will use you.

Go on.

Why don't you go on?

I'm wondering how vicious I am.

By the way, mom's death day is around the corner.

I'm going to prepare some sacrificial offerings for her. See you.

If you have cooled down and horsed around long enough, then come back with me.

As long as we get married tonight,

everything will be okay.

And I will let bygones be bygones.

Where is she?

My mother called me home for dinner.

You!

I'm exhausted. Are you older than me?

Why do you dally so much every time? You wasted so much time.

Runyu is hard to deal with.

I had a hard time getting rid of him.

Before I got here,

I had to use cover-up magic along the way and get rid of several troops.

-It's really a hard time. -You said you had a hard time.

You are empty-handed. I had a harder time than you.

I carried her here from the Floral Realm.

I'm so tired. My waist almost gave in.

My legs are trembling.

I have never seen a frost flower that is so heavy before.

What did she eat growing up?

-Is she heavy? Let me have a try. -Behave yourself.

Do you want her to marry that devil man or not?

If you delay any longer, it will be too late.

You are right.

-Boatman, we need to cross the river. -Okay.

Your Majesty, we have searched all over the Floral Realm

but we couldn't find the Water Immortal.

Make it known in all the six realms,

that the Floral Realm will be blocked from now on.

I will destroy one kind of plant every day until Jinmi comes back.

Don't put any hope into it.

-Great Floral Fairy! -Great Floral Fairy!

-Great Floral Fairy! -Chief!

Even if you are going to destroy the entire Floral Realm,

we will not let Jinmi be under your control.

You attacked me, the Heavenly Emperor. That's a capital offense.

Let's start with you tomorrow.
