01x33 - Episode 33

[bunniefuu]

Xiaoyao.

Cangxuan.

Cangxuan.

-Cangxuan.

-Don't call me that.

I think about you day and night,

but look at you.

You went to see another man

as soon as you returned.

You didn't think about me at all.

Cangxuan.

Cangxuan.

Cangxuan.

Cangxuan.

Cangxuan.

-Wait for me.

-Don't call me that.

I don't have such a heartless sister.

Cangxuan.

You really don't want me anymore?

It's not me.

It's you who abandoned me.

I heard that Jing was

in critical condition,

so I went to see him first.

Aren't you worried about me?

How could I not worry about you?

I often thought of you

when I was unconscious.

I came to Zhiyi City

to see it bustling as usual,

so I was slightly relieved.

When I saw Xinyue,

the first person I asked about was you.

This time, I was really scared to death.

In the middle of the night,

I often woke up alone from nightmares.

I was afraid that you would be

just like my mother and

Aunt Heng.

It's all right now.

Don't worry.

I'll be careful from now on.

Come back to Mount Chenrong with me.

Can I go back with you

after Jing wakes up?

Cangxuan.

All right.

However,

you should behave yourself.

You've clung to him so closely.

I wonder what others may think of you.

Don't you have pursuers?

Do you have to chase after him like this?

Yes, I'll remember your words.

How did Xiang Liu save you?

All the physicians I got

said that you were

I guess it's related

to the poisonous bug I planted on him.

I was clinging to his vitality

to maintain a glimmer of life.

Then he must have performed a blood curse

to extend my life.

I'll keep my promise to Xiang Liu

and I don't want him to play tricks.

His rescue of me

came with conditions?

He's coldhearted

and he never does anything for nothing.

Of course he wouldn't save you

for no reason.

What did he ask for?

The peak of Mount Chenrong.

I was worried about how

I could repay his life-saving grace.

I didn't expect that.

That's Xiang Liu with Nine Lives.

He never loses out on a deal.

You really found Zhulong's tendon.

How is the bow and arrow forging going?

Don't worry.

I've been forging this bow for 45 years.

I only need the bowstring.

Now, even the last material is found.

In three months at most,

I can forge the bow and arrow you want.

I'll come for them in three months.

No problem.

CHENRONG MANSION

Let's toast with tea

to celebrate Xiaoyao's safe return.

It's still unknown when Jing will wake up.

I just told Xiaoyao

that if Jing hadn't appeared to save her,

it would have been too late

even if I rushed there.

Xiaoyao is very grateful

for Jing's life-saving grace

and happens to know some folk cures

that match Jing's symptoms.

So she wants to stay

in Muxi Garden to help.

Whatever the cure is,

the most urgent thing right now

is to save Jing.

Not only does his family need him,

but Cangxuan and I also need him.

Xiaoyao.

Are you sure you can wake him up?

I'm pretty sure about it.

That's great. Xiaoyao is our lucky star.

Once she's back, it's all good news.

Yu Jiang.

There's an assassin!

-Xiaoyao.

-I

He didn't come to assassinate me.

He's now under my command.

Greetings, Your Highness.

What's going on?

Let's leave them alone.

A lot has happened in these 37 years.

I'll tell you bit by bit.

I'm sorry for not living up to your trust.

The food price has increased

by 30% lately.

The food I brought back this time

will only last for two months,

which is far from what the army needs.

This isn't your fault.

You've done very well.

Thank you, Your Highness.

It's hard to go on without money.

I hope Xiaoyao can cure Jing soon.

With him around,

we will have a lot less trouble

getting food and supplies.

It's still uncertain

when Tushan Jing will wake up.

We can't put all our hopes on him.

You're right.

How about this?

I'll see if I can get some money

from somewhere else first

to alleviate the food shortage.

I'll also try to think of a way.

Jing.

Cangxuan won't let me sleep in your room.

But if we don't tell others,

no one will know.

Let's pretend this never happened.

Can you even hear me?

Your hair doesn't look as good as before.

It's time to take care of it.

What is your business here?

You don't even have a single hair.

Baldy.

Jing.

Your bones are poking me again.

You're so skinny.

You need to eat more.

They all said you didn't want to live

because I died.

Do you really care about me that much?

Jing.

If you really see me

as important as your life,

will you never abandon me

no matter what happens?

Jing.

You're very smart.

You can't answer

this kind of question.

Some things can't be said.

Once they're said, they seem fake.

Besides, even if you said it,

I wouldn't believe you.

Things are unpredictable

and people change.

After all, I don't even believe in myself.

Jing.

Wake up soon.

Is Her Highness not out yet?

No.

Should we start working first?

No.

Her Highness will be shy if she sees us.

Then she might not come

to see our young master in the future.

She's out.

Luckily, no one noticed.

Your Majesty.

Here's the list of death row convicts

from the Central Plains.

Deal with them according to the law.

Your Majesty.

News from the Central Plains.

Princess Jiuyao has woken up.

That's good.

Pardon these criminals

to accumulate blessings for Xiaoyao.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Cangxuan has sent an urgent message.

Xiaoyao has woken up.

That's great.

She must be weak after a long illness.

She needs a lot of nutritious food.

Prepare a gift list right away

and send the gifts.

Yes.

SUNLIGHT HALL

I have no interest in you, Your Highness.

Why are you so persistent?

There's no one

in the world

who is both as good-looking

and talented as me.

However,

as long as you don't use me

as a standard for choosing a husband

and lower your standards,

I believe

it's not hard to find a good man.

Do you know what sets you

apart from the rest?

Your unparalleled narcissism.

Thank you for the compliment.

I heard that person woke up

and Father wants you

to go visit with gifts.

That person hasn't woken up.

It's Princess Jiuyao who has woken up.

His Majesty ordered me to prepare

some millennia-aged water marrow,

but there's none in the storeroom.

I need to see where I can get some.

Your Highness,

please let me leave.

Nian, I'm really in a hurry.

Millennia-aged water marrow.

I think I have a lot of it at my place.

May I have some if you don't need them,

Your Highness?

So you aren't in a hurry now?

No.

The weather is cool today.

I'll take you out to have some fun.

You have time,

but I'm the one who doesn't.

Millennia-aged water marrow?

My Spirit Animal is fed up with it

and there's a lot left.

For pity's sake,

I'll give it to that person.

I thank Your Highness

on behalf of that person.

It has nothing to do with me.

Thank my Spirit Animal instead.

You're like the wind on the water

I'm like the lotus in the wind

Meet and miss

Meet and miss

You're like the cloud in the sky

I'm like the moon in the cloud

We fall in love and cherish each other

We fall in love and cherish each other

You're like the tree in the mountain

I'm like the vine on the tree

Accompany and depend on

Accompany

If you cause trouble again,

I'll tie you up like Cangxuan.

You're awake.

Why didn't you tell me when you woke up?

I was afraid it was a dream

and that if I made a sound,

you would run away.

Is it still a dream?

No.

Jingye is still watching.

I didn't see anything.

Xiaoyao.

I've always wanted to be your husband

and to be with you openly and honorably.

However, you're the Princess of Haoling.

Only the identity of Tushan Jing

is worthy of you.

So I've been reluctant

to give up on the identity

that can marry you in a proper manner.

However, I was wrong.

I don't want to be Tushan Jing anymore.

Whether I can be with you openly

and honorably isn't important.

Even if I don't get recognition

for a lifetime,

even if I'm your servant for a lifetime,

it doesn't matter.

I just want to be by your side

to protect you.

Jing.

Do you really see me

as important as your life?

No.

You're more important than my life.

Xiaoyao.

You once complained about me

because I thought I wasn't good enough,

but I was unwilling to let go.

In fact, I know

you can still live well without me.

I also understand

that Fangfeng Bei is better for you.

However, I can't let go of you.

As long as I'm alive,

I can't do that.

Xiaoyao.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You fool.

What I want

is that you will hold on to me

no matter what.

Don't abandon me.

My mother left me

for the greater good.

My grandfather, for my sake,

sent me to Mount Jade.

My father, for my safety,

didn't let me return to Haoling.

Cangxuan promised

to pick me up at Mount Jade,

but in the end, he broke his word.

I waited for them for 70 years,

but they all abandoned me

for various reasons.

So

I'm really happy

that you can't abandon me.

Jing.

Jing, you're finally awake.

I'm sorry for the trouble

I caused you and Fenglong.

We're a family.

You've just stayed here for a while.

Don't be such a stranger.

I'll have someone tell

my brother and Cangxuan.

Now, the major decisions of your family

are still made by Madam Tushan.

For routine affairs,

Tushan Hou and Fangfeng Yiying

are each responsible for a part,

balancing each other out.

What's wrong?

Go on.

Shall we go somewhere else?

No need.

She's afraid of loneliness

and likes the company of human voices.

My lady.

Young Master and Prince Cangxuan are here.

Go invite them in.

Jing.

I thought you had gotten past

caring about anything

and planned to just sleep away,

but you seem to still be attached

to the mundane world.

I really troubled you this time.

Yes, you did.

So you'd better buck up

to help us.

All right.

I'm glad you're fine.

Thank you for your concern.

Where's Xiaoyao?

Didn't you sleep well?

I slept a bit late.

You can look after the sick,

but you can't look after yourself?

-Fenglong, these years

-Jing.

Eat this half bowl of porridge.

Jing, when did you become so obedient?

Xiaoyao.

Pack your things later

and go back to Mount Chenrong with me.

Got it.

Let me help you.

Xiaoyao.

What's going on between you and Jing?

It's just like what you think.

You

You and Jing?

Does he have feelings for you?

Not only him.

We both have feelings for each other.

We love each other.

Jing, I won't hide it from you.

Cangxuan and I are desperate for money.

We need a large sum of money.

I got it.

"I got it"?

Will you help us or not?

Can I say no?

Of course not.

Then why the question?

I don't need to ask you,

but you have to reassure Cangxuan.

I can't help with other things,

but I know a thing or two about business.

You can be rest assured

about the money matter.

Look.

As I told you, as long as Jing wakes up,

our pressing issue

will be resolved for sure.

Both of us are spenders.

We need the assistance

of this wealth-gathering fox.

It's a pity that his aspirations

are different from ours.

He helps us purely out of friendship.

Regardless of whose friendship,

thank you anyway.

I want to tell you something.

Go ahead.

To resolve your issues,

I need to rush back to Qingqiu Hill.

After returning,

I plan to tell my grandmother everything.

I've decided.

Whatever her attitude is,

I'll go back to Xiaoyao's side

and stay with her forever.

Tushan Jing.

Are you negotiating with me?

How could I use Xiaoyao to make a deal?

I'm asking for your permission.

You want to stay with Xiaoyao.

Is Xiaoyao in danger again?

I'm sorry, Fenglong.

I adore Xiaoyao and want to be with her.

You fell into unconsciousness

because of Xiaoyao?

I know you want to marry her,

but I can't lose her.

You know I want to marry her,

yet you still dare to covet her.

You even seduced my woman in my house!

-Fenglong.

-Tushan Jing.

-I see you as my friend. What about you?

-Fenglong, calm down.

I want to k*ll him right now.

Tushan Jing, get out of here.

-Take your darn money and leave.

-Someone, help!

Don't think we need your money!

-Drag him away!

-Tushan Jing!

Tushan Jing.

Tushan Jing.

Fenglong.

My brother is furious right now.

Don't take it to heart.

I know.

You should go and check on him now.

Fenglong.

I believe in your feelings for Xiaoyao.

But you're engaged as Tushan Jing.

Madam Tushan also

values Fangfeng Yiying very much.

She won't agree to cancel the engagement.

I was once desperate

to confidently walk up

to King of Haoling

to marry Xiaoyao as Tushan Jing.

For this, I endured a lot.

However, after experiencing loss once,

I found that nothing else matters.

As long as I can be with Xiaoyao,

I'm willing to give up everything.

If my grandmother doesn't agree,

I can give up being Tushan Jing.

Are you sure?

If you give up being Tushan Jing,

you will be nothing.

Even if I'm not Tushan Jing,

I can still be Ye Shiqi.

The one with nothing?

Yes.

I can't make this decision for Xiaoyao.

It will depend on her.

When I saved him,

he had nothing.

So I don't mind

if he becomes nothing again.

PROSPERITY

TUSHAN MANSION

It's really similar.

It's like we're back at Zhaoyun Peak.

In the blink of an eye,

everything you told me came true.

It has been 37 years.

You may think it's fleeting,

like a flash,

but for me, it has been an eternity

and night after night of worry.

These poinciana trees grew

from young saplings

to the current towering ones.

I remember every bit of their growth

as if it had been a thousand years.

Cangxuan, don't worry.

I'll be with you from now on.

I won't make you worry about me anymore.

If Tushan Jing does cancel the engagement,

he'll immediately go to Master

and ask for your hand in marriage.

How will you accompany me then?

Then I'll have Jing come live

with me on Mount Chenrong.

Have you really thought it through?

Jing might not be the best man,

nor is he necessarily

the most suitable one for you.

However, he's the one

who will never abandon me

no matter what happens.

Cangxuan.

You and I were abandoned as children.

I believe you understand what I want.

Even if Jing is willing

to give up his status,

we both know

that some bonds are flowing in the blood.

It's not something you can give up

or sever if you wish to.

Madam Tushan

is notoriously obstinate, stubborn,

and hard to deal with.

Have you thought about the future?

The future doesn't depend on me.

It depends on Jing.

I'll wait it out

and see what result he will give me.

I have never seen you wait for others,

so it seems

that Jing is special to you.

Cangxuan.

Stop worrying about me.

I've experienced too many disappointments,

so I've long since learned

to always think

about the worst possible outcome.

Didn't you say it?

If you don't want to be disappointed,

then never give yourself hope.

No matter what the result is,

I'll be here.

I know.

If you don't agree,

then I'll have to leave our family.

You brat.

For the great princess of Haoling,

you suffered terrible internal injuries

and nearly lost your life.

What position do you put our family in?

Do you want me to die?

No matter how noble the princess is

and how much you love each other,

you can never marry her.

Grandmother.

Her Highness is already back.

Why are you still worried, Your Highness?

It has been 37 years

since Xiaoyao had an accident

in the plum blossom grove.

However, every time I think about it,

I still feel the lingering fear.

You've asked so many guards

with strong spirit power

to guard Her Highness all day.

This time, nothing will go wrong.

I can tell you why I k*lled your sister.

Because she's not

the great princess of Haoling at all.

She's the daughter of Chi Chen.

Xiaoxiao.

Your Highness.

I want you to go to Baili

and investigate something for me.

You must act secretly

and not let others know.

I called you over

because I want to tell you something.

I have discussed this

with several elders last night.

We've decided

to hold a ceremony in three days.

Jing will serve as the head of our family.

Time is tight,

so not too many guests will be invited.

King of Xiyan, King of Haoling,

and representatives from the Chishui,

Xiling, and Guifang families,

as well as the Six Great Families

in the Central Plains

will come to watch the ceremony.

That's enough.

Grandmother, let's talk

about this matter in a few years.

A few years?

How long do you think I can live?

This time, whether you want it or not,

you must take over as the head.

Grandmother.

The head should be the capable one.

I disagree.

Please cancel the ceremony.

Please cancel the ceremony.

My brother is the best choice.

Tushan Jing.

Stop patronizing me.

I don't need your charity.

Grandmother.

Grandmother.

I won't hide it from you anymore.

I only have

not more than six months

to live.

PROSPERITY

The physicians and maids

will take care of Madam Tushan.

Young Masters, please go back.

Madam Tushan is still clearheaded now.

But after some time,

when her spirit power is exhausted,

she will gradually lose consciousness.

I beg you to fulfill Madam Tushan's wish

for the sake of our family

and let her see the new family head

when she's still clearheaded.

Jing.

You can disregard my feelings,

but you can't let Grandmother down.

She has gone to the extent

of putting her life at stake

for you and the entire family.

High and thick as a wall.

Stack together like the teeth of a comb.

Stores are opened in rows.

Wives and children repose

when all the stores are full.

We k*ll a tawny bull,

whose horns appear crooked.

In a similar manner,

we continue the legacy

of people from the past.

I thought no matter

how big this mansion was,

where there's a will,

there's a way out.

However, I can never

get rid of this surname

as well as my bloodline.
