Follow Your Heart (2024) s01e37 Episode Script

[Follow Your Heart]
[Episode 37]
My lord,
we've searched this mountain.
There is only one house
in the valley ahead.
There was smoke
rising this morning.
Jiang Xinbai and his company
must be hiding there.
Lead the way.
Yes.
All right, stop watching me.
Go get some rest.
Nanxing.
You haven't eaten in a day.
Yao made some porridge outside.
You should eat some.
Nanxing.
Enough.
Go eat something.
Get me a bottle of wine while you're at it.
I'd like a word with
my son-in-law privately.
Hurry and go.
Go.
Help me up.
I made you some porridge.
Eat it while it's hot.
Yao.
Have you ever felt
completely hopeless?
It's like nothing can be done.
You can only wait and see what happens.
Of course.
So how did you get through it?
I just prayed.
Just face the sky,
see which deities are free,
and ask them for help.
You believe in this?
I don't believe in Buddha
until I'm at my wits' end.
But
It's been a long time
since I've done such a thing,
because I have Mr. Jiang.
What do you mean?
I'm not afraid when he's around.
I know he has my back.
He would take a knife for me,
and I'll also sacrifice my life for him.
That's great.
By the way,
Mr. Jiang has told me about
what happened to you two in Yazhou.
Actually, on that day when you guys
were surrounded,
I was there too.
Later,
I became Mr. Jiang's
personal bodyguard.
Her Highness asked me to protect
and take care of Mr. Jiang.
Besides Her Highness
and the imperial physician,
I'm the third person who knows
about Mr. Jiang's face blindness.
So my relationship with Mr. Jiang
is closer than that of family.
He is like my brother.
You
don't have to worry too much.
Mr. Jiang and I will protect
you and your mother.
We'll all be fine.
Have it while it's hot.
Here.
I've already called you son-in-law.
How should you be addressing me?
Mother.
Here.
Slowly.
It's sweet.
Okay. Put it down.
Put that down.
I asked Xing'er to go out
because there is something important
I need to tell you.
Here, open it.
This is?
Is what written in
the letter true?
Xing's mother
was my senior.
We studied medicine together.
After our Master passed away,
she played the role of both father and mother.
She raised me up.
When she grew up,
she took me along as she followed
her husband into the capital.
We live in a small village
in the capital's suburbs.
Later I found out
they came to the capital
to investigate a case of Zornia.
Her husband
was Yan Zhizhong.
Yan Zhizhong
is the spy of Xi Zhaoming.
But despite years of investigation
into this case of Zornia,
there was no sign of movement either.
So,
Yan Zhizhong
could only use himself as a bait
and went to the capital to report to His Majesty.
He tried to
lure the culprit out.
At that time, Xing
was just one year old.
She was very smiley.
But
since she was born,
she had weak constitution.
One day,
I went to the mountain to collect herbs.
When I came back,
the whole village was burned down.
Xing's parents
died in the fire.
Xing
She was being shielded by
her mother under her body,
and that saved her life.
That year,
I was 12.
Xing and I have been together ever since.
I asked her to call me mother
I told her
she was an orphan I adopted.
At first,
I didn't want you two to be together.
After all, your father is partly responsible
for the death of her parents.
But Xing told me
you really love her,
and she's in love with you too.
Even so,
I feel that
it still doesn't make up for
the tragedy of her losing her parents when she was young.
This letter
I had written it a while ago.
I was going to send it to the capital
and break you guys apart.
It's better to suffer now than to prolong the agony.
But I saw how much
you cared for Xing
in the past few days.
I couldn't bear to do so anymore.
This time,
why did you come back
from the capital?
If you don't want to share,
I don't want to ask either.
But you must always remember.
You and your father
owe it to Xing and her whole family.
You'll spend your life
risking everything
to protect her.
Mother.
I swear
I will.
I definitely will.
I trust you.
In that case,
hide
this letter away.
Burn it sometime,
and let it remain a secret forever.
Dear immortals,
Bodhisattva.
I’m begging you.
Please turn me back
to my original self, will you?
In the future, I can
shapeshift as many times as you want.
But this time,
can you please turn me back right away?
I just wish to
see my mother off
♫Branches bare as flowers fall off♫
in my original skin.
♫Akin to how I can't stay in your heart♫
Please.
♫When will I dare♫
♫To get closer♫
I'm begging you.
♫Hold onto your sleeves tightly and resolutely♫
I'm begging you!
♫Same dream and person in front of me♫
♫Abrupt ending on the cusp of fruition♫
I'm begging you!
♫I'm left behind♫
I'm begging you!
♫No traces of you♫
♫Where are you?♫
♫I can't find you amidst my yearning♫
Mother.
Mother!
Mother!
♫Missing you day and night♫
Mother.
♫My heart has become cold♫
Mother.
Nanxing! Nanxing!
♫Without rest♫
♫Tears keep flowing♫
♫Missing you left and right♫
Mother?
Hurry!
Mother!
♫Our past is eternal♫
Are you alright?
Don't scare me.
♫I just want to devote all my time♫
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
It's no big deal.
♫To you♫
Don't be a crybaby.
♫Past, present, and future♫
Give me a smile.
My lord.
Yan Nanxing, you go first.
After them!
Don't let anyone escape!
Yes!
Split up!
Jiang Xinbai.
Let me see
if you can
recognize this Yao Qianshu.
Jiang Xinbai.
You really are face-blind.
Yao!
Yao, you
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Hang in there.
I'll carry you back for treatment.
You're injured too.
Is it serious?
Stop talking. Let's go.
My lord, I'm fine.
I can still kill.
Yao!
Yao!
Yao!
Xing.
No matter what you'll become,
I will
recognize you at a glance.
Remember,
I love you forever.
Don't say that.
You haven't seen me transform back.
You can't leave me yet.
You can't leave. You mustn't leave!
Come here.
Come closer.
Yao!
Yao!
My lord.
I'm afraid
I won't make it.
This is as far as I can go with you.
From now on
Yao!
Stop talking!
I'll take you back now.
Hang in there.
My lord, I
I
Yao.
Yao.
Yao.
Yao!
Yao!
Yao!
I'll be more careful next time.
Mother!
Mother!
[Tomb of Yao Qianshu]
[Tomb of Phantom Physician]
Yan Nanxing.
There's something
I have to tell you.
Actually,
you're not an orphan.
Your father
was Yan Zhizhong.
It was the case which
I've mentioned to you
at the file room that day.
On the night before the witness testified
against the masterminds behind the Zornia case,
the witness died.
His whole family was killed.
This matter
has been a lifelong agony for my father.
That witness shared
the same surname as you.
His surname was Yan too.
His name was Yan Zhizhong.
Back then,
to investigate the mastermind behind the Zornia case,
your father
used himself as a bait
to lure the real culprit out.
But my father
failed to protect him.
That's why you lost your parents.
When you were young,
you were poisoned by Zornia
because of me.
Phantom Physician
wanted to detoxify the poison in you,
and died of poisoning
as she tried different medicines.
She didn't
manage to see your
original appearance before passing away.
Yan Nanxing.
I owe you too much.
This is a letter Phantom Physician
handed me before she passed.
You'll understand
after reading it.
[To my child, Nanxing]
Yan Nanxing.
Let's divorce.
Yao.
General Nan.
They all died because of me.
And this time, Blossom Beauty was framed
as a result of them
trying to get to me.
I can't let you
be in anymore danger
because of me.
I can't protect you now.
Why?
Why can't you protect me?
I want to go back to the capital
to avenge Yao.
There'll still be movement from
Yan Biqing in the capital.
I must make him confess and face justice.
Only in this way
I can protect you completely.
I'll go with you.
We are husband and wife.
From now on,
we are no longer husband and wife.
♫In the dark chamber♫
♫When I'm alone♫
♫A sliver of you will light up♫
♫A spot in my heart♫
♫Everything was so sudden♫
♫You caught a glimpse of his first bloom♫
♫Please allow me♫
♫To feel this way about you♫
♫Every feeling has a reason♫
♫It took you long to discover it♫
♫But you're too shy to bring it up♫
♫I aspired to explore the world♫
♫But now I want to settle down for you♫
Xinbai.
The only thing my mother wanted to tell to me in that letter
♫If there is a chance to return♫
was about the righteousness of my real parents.
♫Can we just follow our hearts?♫
There was
no resentment towards your father.
♫If there was no need to hide our feelings♫
I feel the same about you.
Without you,
♫How bold could we be?♫
I wouldn't have had
so many happy days.
♫Like you and me♫
Xinbai.
♫Running away in the rain♫
In the past,
you were always by my side
to protect me.
♫With no umbrella♫
Now,
I'm willing to exchange my life
for your safety.
As time goes by,
these symptoms will
gradually show.
For example?
For instance, your five senses may decline,
especially your hearing and vision.
It's also very likely that
you'll go blind and deaf.
There's not much time left.
I need to hurry up
and resolve this.
[Taiji Hall]
The incense you blended for me
is really effective.
I haven't had a headache for days.
That's great.
It's great that Your Majesty finds it effective.
But it's burning too fast.
There were several times I wanted
to continue it at night,
but there's none left.
That's easy.
I'll
blend some more
in case Your Majesty needs them.
Okay.
Grand Councilor.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Do you think it's disgraceful for you
to blend incense for me as the Grand Councilor?
Not at all.
It's definitely my duty
to blend incense for you.
Your Majesty, you have to
be healthy and happy,
in order to
bless our people.
Good.
Sir,
they are here.
Mr. Pei.
Zhiyi.
Qingyun.
My father
Don't worry.
I've visited
him.
He's fine.
He's just
very worried about you.
Thank you, Mr. Pei.
The Ministry of Defense sealed Yuejiang's Residence,
so I can't visit you.
I had to send someone
to bring you here.
After two hours,
I'll arrange someone
to send you back.
I understand.
Grand Councilor,
did you ask us to come here
because something
had happened in the palace?
His Majesty is furious.
He said
the Jiang family is protecting criminals.
The Inspection Office embezzled the money.
I want to help you.
But
I would love to help,
but I'm not capable enough.
Mr. Pei.
Since you asked us to come here today,
there must be a way, right?
At this moment,
if Xinbai can come back,
there will be a turning point.
I think
instead of letting the Ministry of Justice
bring Xinbai back,
Why don't we
bring him back ourselves?
Grand Councilor, you mean
Qingyun,
you are the right person
to persuade Xinbai to come back.
No.
Why?
Xinbai is not a
reckless and willful person.
He must have his reasons
for not coming back.
We trust him.
At this critical moment,
why are you still
be so emotional?
Xinbai is a young man.
He is bound to make mistakes.
But all of you
must not simply
just tolerate him.
Mr. Pei.
It's not tolerance,
but understanding.
Since I understand him, I should trust him.
Qingyun was right.
Precisely at this critical moment,
we must give him
enough trust.
In that case,
then let's play it by ear.
Remember,
you have to also
be well-prepared.
-If
-Mr. Pei.
No matter what the result will be,
we have no regrets.
Your Highness.
Yuchen dropped her earring.
That earring was given by you.
I think
Go find it.
Grand Councilor.
I'm begging you to
save the Jiang family.
Ms. Bai.
Stand up and talk.
Grand Councilor.
The Jiang family is innocent.
All the crimes
were committed by that freak,
Yan Nanxing.
Freak?
Yes.
Yan Nanxing
is a freak who can shapeshift.
Shapeshift?
The Duchess of Yuejiang can shapeshift?
I heard that personally from Duchess Suolo.
Yan Nanxing
was previously poisoned by Zornia.
Her body had mutated, and she can shapeshift.
She's taken advantage of this shapeshifting
to involve herself in the Zornia case,
and bewitched everyone the Jiang family.
Grand Councilor,
you must trust me.
Now
the Princess, Duke and Duchess
are all unrepentant.
Only you can help the Jiang family
to get through this.
My dear child,
don't worry.
I
know what to do.
Thank you, Grand Councilor.
[Guangde Gate]
My lord, the prisoner is here.
Yan Nanxing.
You are involved in the Zornia case.
You refused arrest and fled.
Let me ask you.
Who is your accomplice?
My lord,
my accomplice Bai Yuan has died.
This is the evidence.
So, you admit that Bai Yuan
is your accomplice?
Yes.
He used Blossom Beauty to profit from Zornia.
Only the two of us
know about this.
It has nothing to do with others.
I will find out if
it has anything to do with anyone else.
The suspect, Yan Nanxing.
has confessed truthfully to her crimes.
She is to be detained immediately
and executed at a later date.
Is she
Is she the Duchess of Yuejiang?
What did she do?
Really?
Boss.
Boss! Boss!
Boss!
Let’s go.
Boss!
-Boss!
-Go back.
Boss!
Boss, I’m Sai'er! Boss!
Get in.
Boss!
Behave yourself.
Ruoqian, Sai'er.
Are you all right?
We are fine, Boss.
Didn’t you run away?
Why did you come back?
Boss.
You didn't plead guilty alone,
did you?
It's death sentence for those who are involved in the Zornia case.
Death penalty?
Boss!
Boss!
You musn’t plead guilty.
This has nothing to do with you.
Sai'er.
Ruoqian.
Listen to me.
As long as I've been your boss,
I will always be your boss.
Remember,
I will always
protect you.
In the future,
no matter what happens,
remember to
live well.
Go and live well.
You must live well.
Yan Nanxing walked right into the trap.
What about Jiang Xinbai?
Not news yet.
Okay.
Send my order
to free to Yuejiang's Residence.
In this way,
they will think
things have turned around.
Jiang Xinbai will definitely come back.
Sir, you're wise.
Ruoqian!
Ruoqian!
Ruoqian!
Sai'er!
Sai'er!
Who are you?
Interesting.
This hallucinogenic smoke
doesn't work on you.
