Episode 26
1
Grandmother.
Ye Xiwu.
Ye Xiwu.
You're awake.
What?
I'm thirsty.
Wait for a moment.
Come.
Ye Xiwu.
From now on,
whatever you want,
just tell me.
I'll grant you every wish.
Tantai Jin,
marry me.
I want to be your queen.
All right.
Very well.
She seems possessed after her return.
She drove away the escort that we sent
to bring her to the memorial service.
I hardly even recognize her now.
General Ye,
I would like to ask a favor from you.
Definitely, Your Majesty.
Please just say it.
I would like to ask you
not to mention this in front of her again.
At least not before our wedding.
Do not upset her.
But Grandmother…
Xiwu loves her no less than you.
You can't imagine how sad she is.
Besides, she loved Xiao Lin for years.
But she watched him die.
These things came one after another.
How can she bear it?
But whether Father forgives her or not,
she has to go home to see him.
Last night, Xiwu told me that she wants
to cut all ties with the Ye family.
General Ye, please erase her name
from your genealogy book when you return.
Your Majesty,
the one she wanted to murder was you.
Why are you still making her your queen?
Do you truly have no ill feelings?
Now, in this world,
she is the only one
who hasn't abandoned me.
She is willing to return to me,
willing to keep my company,
and willing to like me.
I can ask for nothing more.
Your Majesty, I've done a divination.
The tenth of next month
is an auspicious day.
Nonsense!
The last day of this month
is the most auspicious!
How dare you talk nonsense!
How dare you accuse me before His Majesty?
What proof do you have?
I made my conclusion
from observing the stars
and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
Is that even reliable?
I even checked the annals of history!
Enough arguing!
The faster, the better.
I don't want to keep her waiting.
Your Majesty, but…
No buts about it.
How soon can it be ready?
Your Majesty,
three days at most
to arrange everything.
Three days later,
the 24th of the 8th month.
It's set then.
Yes.
THE 24TH OF THE 8TH MONTH
THE 24TH OF THE 8TH MONTH
OMINOUS
Come on, this way.
-Watch it.
-Watch it.
Hurry.
Right over here.
All right.
CHENMING HALL
Move it.
Faster.
Ye Xiwu!
Ye Xiwu, come out!
Ye Xiwu!
Come out! You!
Ye Xiwu!
Let me go!
Ye Xiwu,
come out and explain yourself!
You left us in times of trouble!
-Ye Xiwu.
-Do you even have a conscience?
-Don't get soft.
-Come out!
Let me go!
-Don't get soft.
-Ye Xiwu!
Come out!
Ye Xiwu!
Come out!
Ye Xiwu!
Drag him away.
You!
Are you even human?
Among all of us children,
Grandmother loved you the most!
Are you still a human?
Ye Xiwu, you heartless swine!
Ye Xiwu!
Stop.
Xiwu,
what is this all about?
You have been hiding from us
ever since you returned.
Why exactly?
Ye Qingyu,
do you think you can talk to me like this
because you are a general?
If I talk to Tantai Jin
and ask him to relieve you of your post,
do you think
he will listen to me?
You're not Ye Xiwu.
You're nothing like my sister.
Perfect.
I've already cut ties with the Ye family.
Is there anything else?
CHENMING HALL
Tantai Jin,
I want to be your queen.
All right.
Your Highness, let me explain.
This is a custom of our Jing Kingdom.
The twin lotuses on the red bridal veil
must be embroidered by the couple.
Only with this sincerity
can they be blessed
with a long marriage.
CHENMING HALL
Why is it snowing all of a sudden?
Don't be afraid.
I'm here.
Your Majesty, you may not know this.
The twin lotuses on the bridal red veil
must be embroidered by the couple
for a long marriage.
Heavenly gods above,
I, Tantai Jin,
only wish to spend a lifetime with Ye Xiwu
till death do us part.
CHENMING HALL
What I've failed to accomplish
must get done this time.
This time,
I must finish it.
Xiao Lin,
farewell.
Tantai Jin can also have
such vivid expressions.
He must be
very happy today.
I have been waiting for this day
for far too long.
All the hard work I have done
was for this day.
Thank you.
We are a married couple.
You are my wife.
You don't need to thank me.
I want to give you a gift.
What is it?
World-Alluring Jade?
Ye Xiwu,
what do you intend to do?
Ye Xiwu.
Ye Xiwu.
Why?
Tantai Jin,
I originally came
to kill you.
Don't tell me
that you came back to me
just to kill me.
Yes.
So
all those words you said to me
were lies.
Even so,
I still
love you.
Do you?
Tantai Jin,
I have never loved you.
Very well.
Very well.
Farewell,
Tantai Jin.
The Heart-Guarding Scale?
Ye Xiwu.
Why?
Why did you lie to me?
Father.
Go.
Jiwu.
Father, my eye hurts.
What happened to your eye?
Father, my eye is in so much pain.
It hurts.
I'm sorry.
I failed.
The energy contained in this jade
may be comparable to that of a god,
but using it costs one's karma,
dooming the user to a tragic end
and a violent, sudden death.
Father, Jiwu,
and Uncle Zhaoyou,
I have tried my best.
I am
truly sorry.
Ye Qingyu,
your sister did that out of nowhere.
Did you really have no idea?
If I had known, I would have stopped her.
When His Majesty wakes up,
I wonder if he will blame the Ye family.
Last night, Xiwu told me that she wants
to cut all ties with the Ye family.
General Ye, please erase her name
from your genealogy book when you return.
So that's it.
Xiwu had been planning the assassination.
That's why she cut ties with our family.
Why didn't I realize this sooner?
But what did she do this for?
Was it for Xiao Lin?
I don't know.
News of His Majesty's injury
has been kept under tight wraps.
I have to go home
and tell my family to be prepared.
Ye Xiwu's drugging of His Majesty
has been covered up so easily.
She is indeed lucky.
But Tantai Jin clearly knows everything,
yet kept her alive.
No,
I can't give Ye Xiwu a chance
to tell the truth.
Qingyu?
Why did you suddenly come home so late?
Good, you're here, Bingchang.
Let's go to see Father together.
Bring Zeyu here too.
Yes.
What?
Xiwu tried to assassinate Tantai Jin?
An attempt on the king's life
is punishable by death.
Once the execution order is made,
Xiwu will certainly die.
Qingyu, what should we do?
I will try to convince His Majesty
to have the Three Judicial Offices
question her before the trial.
A questioning
by the Three Judicial Offices?
What if she talks about the drugging?
Now Xiwu's life is at stake.
I am here to persuade you
to leave to avoid trouble.
Though Xiwu has cut ties with our family,
His Majesty may still be angry with us.
Be angry with us?
So what?
Xiwu is my daughter.
As her father,
although I cannot exonerate her,
I shall not abandon her at such a time.
Father, I…
Life and death are determined by fate.
This time, I won't run.
General Ye,
do as you please.
Father, you…
Since you have made up your mind,
I will not try to persuade you anymore.
Please take care of yourself, Father.
Zeyu,
please take care of our family.
Ye Xiwu,
since you don't cherish your life
and want to die,
don't blame me.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Quick! His Majesty is awake!
Your Majesty, you are awake.
Everyone, out.
Yes.
Everyone, get out.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
What did the royal physician say?
He said
that he has never seen
such a strange weapon before.
They were fused to your heart
in a mere moment.
Moreover,
they cannot be removed from the outside.
Is that so?
Then leave them there.
But Your Majesty,
with these spikes in your flesh,
it will be unbearably painful.
Then let it hurt.
Your Majesty!
How much longer can I live?
As long as Your Majesty recuperates well,
you will definitely get better.
Nian Baiyu,
you are terrible at lying.
The royal physician said
your heart meridian
is irrevocably damaged.
Even with careful recuperation,
you won't live more than three years.
What a long time.
It will be so difficult to endure.
Where is Ye Xiwu?
She's in the dungeon.
The jailer reported
that she has refused to eat or drink
since yesterday.
Help me dress.
But Your Majesty, you haven't recovered.
Help me dress.
Yes.
It's because I like you.
All right?
We're married after all.
Saving you is what I'm supposed to do, no?
It turns out
you've been lying to me since then.
What exactly is liking someone?
Liking someone is
not wanting them to die.
You want to be with them.
You get worried if you don't see them.
You are happy when you do.
Everything was fake.
It was all just a delusion of mine.
I was blind
and fell in love with you!
Tantai Jin,
I originally came
to kill you.
Ye Xiwu,
you truly are
the most heartless person in the world.
My vision is nearly gone.
This is another side effect
of the World-Alluring Jade.
Ye Xiwu,
do you think I'm stupid
and ridiculous?
You are imprisoned here
and can only see a beam of light
when you look up.
You feel scared,
don't you?
I have felt the same
day and night lately.
Even when I was embroidering
that veil for you,
I was also scared deep down.
When one has been in the dark too long,
they always hope
that there will be light tomorrow.
But once they have this beam of light,
they fear that they may lose it
at any moment.
One's worst fears do come true.
Nobody in this world
can save me now,
just as nobody
can save you now.
Even if no one will save me,
I don't regret it.
Tantai Jin,
I once naively thought
that maybe I could be that light
in the darkness of your life
and turn you into a normal person.
But I was wrong all along.
There are some dwellings in the darkness
who do not deserve to have light.
I don't deserve it.
I don't deserve it?
Ye Xiwu,
take a good look
at this idiot named Tantai Jin!
You used to beat him,
scold him, torture him,
and even wanted to kill him!
But even so,
he still can't bear to kill you!
He was even full of joy
to marry you and crown you as his queen.
He even looked forward
to spending a lifetime with you
until a ripe old age!
He was impossibly stupid!
That was
until you drove those six spikes into him!
That was when he came to his senses.
He truly has no dignity!
The Soul-Slaying Spikes are gone.
The only chance
to change the Three Realms' fate
has been ruined in my hands.
There is no point in living
except to be humiliated.
Yes.
You have no dignity.
That is why I loathe you.
Shut up!
Look at what I've done to you!
You still won't kill me immediately.
Have you no dignity?
Ye Xiwu!
How does it feel, Ye Xiwu?
This heart-wrenching feeling
is very painful, right?
Let me tell you.
This is not even a fraction of my pain!
Tantai Jin.
Kill me.
Kill me now.
It's fun to toy with you,
but I've grown tired of it.
Kill me.
Otherwise…
In your dreams!
Do you think
I will set you free so easily?
No!
I will keep you alive
and peel you apart bit by bit
so that I can see
what kind of heart you have.
Kill me!
Well,
since my affection means nothing to you,
then have a taste
of my hatred.
DIAO PRISON
Your Majesty,
the royal physicians are outside.
Send them away.
Your Majesty.
No.
Send them to the prison
to see if Ye Xiwu is dead yet.
If you really hate her so much,
why would you keep her in the palace?
I hate her,
so I won't give her what she wants.
She wants to run away from me.
She wants to die.
Kill me.
Kill me now.
So I'll make sure she lives.
I once naively thought
that maybe I could be that light
in the darkness of your life
and turn you into a normal person.
Tantai Jin.
Life is indeed tough,
but you still have to live on.
You're not dead
and I'm not dead.
We both survived!
Promise me to live on.
I won't let you die.
But I was wrong all along.
There are some dwellings in the darkness
who do not deserve to have light.
As long as I'm alive,
she must stay alive too.
Why should I
be the only one in such darkness?
Nian Baiyu,
summon Ye Qingyu.
I have orders for him.
Understood.
-How is His Majesty?
-How is he?
He's in unimaginable pain
but has to bear it.
What about Ye Xiwu?
His Majesty told me
that he won't kill her.
She is safe for now.
But the prison
is humid and suffocating
and overrun with pests in the summer.
If she continues to refuse food and water,
she won't live long.
That silly girl is determined to die.
Captain Nian, can I visit her?
Since His Majesty wants her alive,
go ahead.
Thank you for making an exception.
My sister is in prison.
Our family is worried.
That's why they sent me here.
We'll just talk a bit.
It's fine if you're only here to talk.
I just hope
you didn't bring any prohibited items.
Sir,
how can a flimsy young lady like me
possibly help her break free?
Fine. Come with me.
Ye Bingchang.
Yes, it's me.
Why have you come?
Xiwu.
You're suffering.
Of course I had to visit you.
You must know.
I've always hated you
for being so condescending.
Since you don't want small talk,
then let's get down to business.
My sweet sister,
I would like to know
if Tantai Jin ate that bowl of porridge.
Why didn't he die?
You knew about the porridge?
That's right.
The bowl of porridge
that you thought
only you had tampered with.
What did you put in there?
Dry mylabris.
One tiny sip
is lethal.
Ye Xiwu.
Did you make this porridge
especially for me?
Tantai Jin thought
that I wanted to poison him
to save Xiao Lin.
Why would you do that?
Do you know that what you did
got Xiao Lin killed?
Don't speak that name!
You don't deserve it.
Do you know?
I had my hopes up that day.
I thought I would hear the news
that Tantai Jin and that old woman
both died of poison.
But it never crossed my mind
that Tantai Jin didn't eat the porridge.
He didn't die.
Did you kill Grandmother too?
Ye Xiwu,
you won't have to grieve too long.
I will do you a favor.
I'll let you reunite with her
in the underworld.
Tantai Jin.
Do you want me to take it?
What's the matter?
I guess
I'll have some if you feed me.
From now on,
whatever you want,
just tell me.
What are you doing?
Xiwu!
Xiwu!
Grandmother.
Ye Xiwu.
Ye Xiwu.
You're awake.
What?
I'm thirsty.
Wait for a moment.
Come.
Ye Xiwu.
From now on,
whatever you want,
just tell me.
I'll grant you every wish.
Tantai Jin,
marry me.
I want to be your queen.
All right.
Very well.
She seems possessed after her return.
She drove away the escort that we sent

You still won't kill me immediately.
Have you no dignity?
Ye Xiwu!
How does it feel, Ye Xiwu?
This heart-wrenching feeling
is very painful, right?
Let me tell you.
This is not even a fraction of my pain!
Tantai Jin.
Kill me.
Kill me now.
It's fun to toy with you,
but I've grown tired of it.
Kill me.
Otherwise…
In your dreams!
Do you think
I will set you free so easily?
No!
I will keep you alive
and peel you apart bit by bit
so that I can see
what kind of heart you have.
Kill me!
Well,
since my affection means nothing to you,
then have a taste
of my hatred.
DIAO PRISON
Your Majesty,
the royal physicians are outside.
Send them away.
Your Majesty.
No.
Send them to the prison
to see if Ye Xiwu is dead yet.
If you really hate her so much,
why would you keep her in the palace?
I hate her,
so I won't give her what she wants.
She wants to run away from me.
She wants to die.
Kill me.
Kill me now.
So I'll make sure she lives.
I once naively thought
that maybe I could be that light
in the darkness of your life
and turn you into a normal person.
Tantai Jin.
Life is indeed tough,
but you still have to live on.
You're not dead
and I'm not dead.
We both survived!
Promise me to live on.
I won't let you die.
But I was wrong all along.
There are some dwellings in the darkness
who do not deserve to have light.
As long as I'm alive,
she must stay alive too.
Why should I
be the only one in such darkness?
Nian Baiyu,
summon Ye Qingyu.
I have orders for him.
Understood.
-How is His Majesty?
-How is he?
He's in unimaginable pain
but has to bear it.
What about Ye Xiwu?
His Majesty told me
that he won't kill her.
She is safe for now.
But the prison
is humid and suffocating
and overrun with pests in the summer.
If she continues to refuse food and water,
she won't live long.
That silly girl is determined to die.
Captain Nian, can I visit her?
Since His Majesty wants her alive,
go ahead.
Thank you for making an exception.
My sister is in prison.
Our family is worried.
That's why they sent me here.
We'll just talk a bit.
It's fine if you're only here to talk.
I just hope
you didn't bring any prohibited items.
Sir,
how can a flimsy young lady like me
possibly help her break free?
Fine. Come with me.
Ye Bingchang.
Yes, it's me.
Why have you come?
Xiwu.
You're suffering.
Of course I had to visit you.
You must know.
I've always hated you
for being so condescending.
Since you don't want small talk,
then let's get down to business.
My sweet sister,
I would like to know
if Tantai Jin ate that bowl of porridge.
Why didn't he die?
You knew about the porridge?
That's right.
The bowl of porridge
that you thought
only you had tampered with.
What did you put in there?
Dry mylabris.
One tiny sip
is lethal.
Ye Xiwu.
Did you make this porridge
especially for me?
Tantai Jin thought
that I wanted to poison him
to save Xiao Lin.
Why would you do that?
Do you know that what you did
got Xiao Lin killed?
Don't speak that name!
You don't deserve it.
Do you know?
I had my hopes up that day.
I thought I would hear the news
that Tantai Jin and that old woman
both died of poison.
But it never crossed my mind
that Tantai Jin didn't eat the porridge.
He didn't die.
Did you kill Grandmother too?
Ye Xiwu,
you won't have to grieve too long.
I will do you a favor.
I'll let you reunite with her
in the underworld.
Tantai Jin.
Do you want me to take it?
What's the matter?
I guess
I'll have some if you feed me.
From now on,
whatever you want,
just tell me.
What are you doing?
Xiwu!
Xiwu!
