15:02.183 --> 15:03.743
Your Majesty may head toward Yanxia Lake.

15:03.903 --> 15:04.903
She once said

15:04.943 --> 15:06.103
she wanted to see it.

15:07.183 --> 15:07.903
All right.

15:08.703 --> 15:09.703
Thank you, General Ling!

15:12.703 --> 15:13.863
Your Majesty!

15:14.663 --> 15:16.743
You've only just begun to recover.

15:16.903 --> 15:18.663
You can't push yourself like this!

15:18.703 --> 15:19.583
Physician Li,

15:20.023 --> 15:21.223
didn't I tell you

15:21.423 --> 15:22.583
I'm already fine?

15:22.703 --> 15:24.663
And I just took my medicine, didn't I?

15:26.223 --> 15:27.103
Your Majesty...

15:29.183 --> 15:29.903
Don't kneel.

15:56.023 --> 15:56.783
Madam,

15:57.223 --> 15:58.423
General Lu requests an audience.

16:04.383 --> 16:04.903
Let him in.

16:05.063 --> 16:05.663
Yes, Madam.

16:13.703 --> 16:14.423
Preceptor Du.

16:15.183 --> 16:15.983
General Lu.

16:17.343 --> 16:18.383
How is His Majesty?

16:19.183 --> 16:20.623
His Majesty and Her Majesty

16:21.183 --> 16:22.143
will be able to return soon.

16:22.183 --> 16:23.503
How is His Majesty's health?

16:23.943 --> 16:25.223
His Majesty is in excellent health.

16:25.703 --> 16:26.223
It's just...

16:26.703 --> 16:27.543
it's just...

16:29.703 --> 16:30.583
Just what?

16:32.703 --> 16:33.863
His Majesty gave a verbal edict

16:34.223 --> 16:35.503
for me to pass on to you.

16:37.583 --> 16:38.383
What edict?

16:40.423 --> 16:41.303
His Majesty said

16:42.423 --> 16:44.343
the Empress will soon return to the palace,

16:45.943 --> 16:47.223
and that you...

16:50.183 --> 16:51.143
that you are

16:52.183 --> 16:53.383
to remember what he told you

16:53.703 --> 16:54.823
back in Jiangzhou.

16:59.663 --> 17:00.663
In this world,

17:01.143 --> 17:02.663
there is more than one person

17:03.383 --> 17:04.703
who can heal my body.

17:05.903 --> 17:07.183
But as for my empress,

17:07.903 --> 17:09.383
there's only Cangcang.

17:17.463 --> 17:18.023
I obey,

17:18.663 --> 17:19.423
Your Majesty.

17:22.063 --> 17:22.863
Madam!

17:26.783 --> 17:27.543
Madam,

17:28.063 --> 17:28.983
what happened to you?

17:37.023 --> 17:38.183
I followed His Majesty's will

17:39.223 --> 17:41.023
and reflected in Nanrong Palace.

17:42.983 --> 17:44.543
But you can't hurt yourself.

17:45.583 --> 17:47.063
So what if I hurt myself?

17:48.583 --> 17:50.143
No one cares anyway.

17:50.863 --> 17:51.663
I...

17:57.383 --> 17:58.223
Coward.

17:59.383 --> 17:59.743
Madam...

17:59.783 --> 18:01.183
You like someone but don't dare admit it.

18:01.223 --> 18:02.383
If that doesn't make you a coward,

18:02.663 --> 18:03.663
what does?

18:06.663 --> 18:07.383
Madam,

18:08.143 --> 18:09.383
do you still remember

18:09.383 --> 18:11.623
your mother's last words?

18:20.663 --> 18:21.823
Think this through.

18:22.663 --> 18:24.423
If you stay by my side today,

18:25.063 --> 18:27.583
you belong to me from now on,

18:29.783 --> 18:32.423
your life and death at my command.

18:36.383 --> 18:37.783
If you want my heart,

18:39.063 --> 18:40.423
I will give it to you!

19:04.823 --> 19:05.863
Come catch me!

19:07.943 --> 19:08.983
Catch me!

19:11.183 --> 19:11.863
You can't catch me!

19:16.663 --> 19:18.343
I never imagined

19:18.783 --> 19:20.423
that after all these years,

19:21.623 --> 19:24.223
there'd be so many shops here.

19:33.463 --> 19:34.263
Sir,

19:35.023 --> 19:37.503
one plate of fennel dumplings.

19:37.503 --> 19:38.223
Got it!

19:39.183 --> 19:39.983
Today

19:40.343 --> 19:41.623
is my foster son's birthday.

19:41.663 --> 19:42.183
And also,

19:43.183 --> 19:44.143
bring a small jar of wine too.

19:44.143 --> 19:44.623
All right!

20:02.143 --> 20:03.063
Luo!

20:06.343 --> 20:07.103
Cangcang!

20:08.783 --> 20:10.343
I can't protect you anymore!

20:11.783 --> 20:12.783
Live well.

20:15.183 --> 20:16.783
You must live on!

20:28.303 --> 20:29.063
Cangcang,

20:30.303 --> 20:31.303
we'll meet again someday.

20:42.183 --> 20:43.063
Good child,

20:43.783 --> 20:44.583
I'll be waiting

20:45.623 --> 20:46.943
for good news from you.

20:51.623 --> 20:52.343
I will not

20:53.103 --> 20:54.663
fail your expectations!

21:12.663 --> 21:13.823
Long live Lingbi!

21:14.343 --> 21:15.543
All hail the Protector!

21:20.303 --> 21:21.743
Long live Lingbi!

21:21.863 --> 21:23.223
All hail the Protector!

21:24.303 --> 21:25.063
Xianxue,

21:26.863 --> 21:28.183
you've done very well.

21:29.783 --> 21:31.623
You make me proud.

21:40.103 --> 21:41.583
Thank you for backing me, Father.

21:42.063 --> 21:43.423
But what brings you here

21:43.623 --> 21:44.423
this time?

21:49.743 --> 21:51.503
Has something happened in Jiangzhou?

21:52.103 --> 21:53.783
The Jiangzhou crisis is over.

21:54.303 --> 21:55.063
Jueding

21:55.783 --> 21:57.303
got out of it in one piece.

21:57.423 --> 21:58.423
But Xiao Huan

22:00.623 --> 22:02.663
sacrificed the status verification system

22:03.343 --> 22:05.303
to make Kumor agree to withdraw.

22:09.303 --> 22:10.183
But Father,

22:10.983 --> 22:12.023
wasn't the system

22:12.823 --> 22:13.823
your idea?

22:18.143 --> 22:21.263
Xiao Huan wants Xiao Qianqing to act as Regent

22:21.663 --> 22:24.543
mainly to counter me and the Empress Dowager,

22:24.783 --> 22:27.063
so he can reap all the gains,

22:27.423 --> 22:29.663
and push his talent recommendation system through.

22:33.623 --> 22:36.143
New emperor, new court.

22:36.703 --> 22:40.463
He means to stand against me completely.

22:41.383 --> 22:42.623
And that's not all.

22:43.183 --> 22:45.103
Xiao Qianqing even went to Jiangzhou in person.

22:45.623 --> 22:48.383
Who knows what he's plotting.

22:48.663 --> 22:49.863
At this rate,

22:49.903 --> 22:51.703
not only our Ling clan,

22:52.143 --> 22:53.143
but Cangcang as well

22:54.343 --> 22:55.823
will find it

22:56.623 --> 22:57.663
even harder

22:58.223 --> 22:59.263
to survive

22:59.903 --> 23:01.023
in that imperial city.

23:05.783 --> 23:07.303
Whatever you need of me,

23:08.103 --> 23:09.303
I will not refuse.

23:18.303 --> 23:19.063
Cangcang,

23:19.183 --> 23:20.063
go easy on the wine.

23:20.103 --> 23:21.423
This really isn't like you.

23:24.343 --> 23:25.183
Jueding said

23:25.383 --> 23:26.623
a jar of wine and a sword,

23:26.663 --> 23:27.623
that's the real me.

23:28.143 --> 23:29.663
Isn't that just the old Ling Cangcang?

23:29.663 --> 23:30.423
How is that not me?

23:37.423 --> 23:38.663
At this point,

23:38.663 --> 23:40.303
you have to learn to move on.

23:42.623 --> 23:43.303
Yeah,

23:44.103 --> 23:44.903
move on.

23:44.943 --> 23:45.983
That's why I'm saying,

23:46.103 --> 23:48.063
why don't we go back and rebuild Fenglai Pavilion?

23:52.303 --> 23:53.063
What's wrong?

23:53.783 --> 23:54.863
You're acting really strange.

23:56.383 --> 23:57.783
Are you hiding something from me?

24:07.783 --> 24:09.063
- Cangcang, I... - I know.

24:13.103 --> 24:15.543
You've been bewitched by Xiao Qianqing.

24:17.863 --> 24:19.423
What are you even talking about?

24:20.383 --> 24:21.743
You're lying to me.

24:22.303 --> 24:23.063
No...

24:23.343 --> 24:24.223
We're talking about you.

24:24.303 --> 24:25.943
How did this get turned on me?

24:26.823 --> 24:28.023
Look how flustered you are.

24:28.423 --> 24:29.423
I hit the mark, didn't I?

24:29.863 --> 24:31.023
You do like him.

24:31.383 --> 24:32.343
Don't talk nonsense.

24:32.423 --> 24:33.623
So what if you like him?

24:33.943 --> 24:35.303
What's so hard about admitting it?

24:41.783 --> 24:42.543
Cangcang,

24:44.183 --> 24:45.143
I actually...

25:49.103 --> 25:50.183
What are you doing here?

25:51.143 --> 25:52.263
So my brother can come,

25:52.383 --> 25:53.623
but I can't?

26:03.663 --> 26:04.423
Cangcang,

26:05.103 --> 26:06.383
why did you leave so suddenly?

26:10.303 --> 26:11.583
Come back to the Capital with me.

26:11.863 --> 26:13.103
You promised you would.

26:14.343 --> 26:15.423
It's harsh out here,

26:15.423 --> 26:16.423
nothing like the palace.

26:16.423 --> 26:17.223
Why don't we

26:17.423 --> 26:18.783
head back a little earlier?

26:19.303 --> 26:20.183
We?

26:21.463 --> 26:22.423
You mean...

26:23.183 --> 26:24.503
you and I going back to the Capital together?

26:27.303 --> 26:28.063
Xiao Huan,

26:30.663 --> 26:31.783
stop coming after me.

26:32.423 --> 26:33.863
You're the Empress of Great Qi,

26:34.063 --> 26:35.023
head of Fenglai Pavilion.

26:35.183 --> 26:37.143
How can someone like you go back on her word?

26:37.703 --> 26:38.863
Ten more li ahead,

26:39.143 --> 26:40.223
and we'll reach Yanxia Lake.

26:41.303 --> 26:43.063
We can take the waterway back.

26:51.303 --> 26:52.263
I just feel

26:52.303 --> 26:53.223
there are things

26:54.383 --> 26:55.543
I need to sort out in my head.

27:05.583 --> 27:07.143
He's chased his wife a thousand li,

27:07.223 --> 27:08.783
and you insist on getting in the way here.

27:10.663 --> 27:12.783
They get to enjoy the scenery on their way back,

27:13.143 --> 27:15.223
while I have to deal with all those old foxes.

27:15.823 --> 27:16.583
How is that fair?

27:16.943 --> 27:18.903
She's the Empress of Great Qi.

27:19.223 --> 27:20.623
How could that be the same?

27:21.303 --> 27:22.303
I'm warning you,

27:22.943 --> 27:24.343
with that attitude,

27:24.623 --> 27:25.823
watch they don't dump you halfway

27:26.183 --> 27:27.423
and feed you to the wolves.

27:27.863 --> 27:29.223
I'm not scared.

27:29.583 --> 27:30.903
I've still got you, don't I?

27:31.303 --> 27:33.303
You won't have the heart to dump me.

27:33.343 --> 27:35.223
I'll toss you in first!

27:49.303 --> 27:51.583
Please don't hurt my child!

28:00.303 --> 28:00.823
Zhong Lin!

28:03.143 --> 28:04.743
Zhong Lin!

28:37.103 --> 28:37.743
Zhong Lin!

28:42.863 --> 28:43.943
What did you make her take?

28:50.463 --> 28:51.823
You think we're idiots

28:52.143 --> 28:53.503
who'd swallow your poison?

28:53.543 --> 28:54.903
Say one more word

28:54.943 --> 28:56.223
- and I'll stab her again! - Wait!

28:56.623 --> 28:57.823
Stop!

29:07.903 --> 29:08.623
Eat it, now!

29:24.623 --> 29:25.943
I thought it was something serious.

29:26.223 --> 29:28.503
Turns out it's just some cheap soft-bone powder.

29:28.983 --> 29:30.863
Hardly worth all this fuss.

29:31.383 --> 29:31.983
Talk!

29:32.583 --> 29:33.703
What do you people actually want?

29:33.903 --> 29:35.623
Send someone who can negotiate.

30:09.463 --> 30:12.423
[Zhu Sha, branch leader of the Lingbi Sect]

30:33.463 --> 30:34.503
Honestly,

30:35.223 --> 30:37.903
none of you know how to treat a lady.

30:38.783 --> 30:40.503
Such a pretty little thing,

30:41.103 --> 30:43.223
how can you be so rough with her?

30:43.383 --> 30:44.383
Who on earth are you?

30:45.063 --> 30:45.943
Don't hurt her.

30:46.103 --> 30:47.343
If you want to talk, talk to me.

30:47.383 --> 30:48.263
Talk to you?

30:49.063 --> 30:49.783
Sure.

30:50.183 --> 30:51.063
Come here.

30:54.823 --> 30:55.943
Cangcang, don't come any closer...

30:56.383 --> 30:57.503
This is Bone-Eating Ice,

30:57.623 --> 30:58.423
deadly poison.

31:04.943 --> 31:06.343
So you're one of us.

31:06.783 --> 31:08.623
No wonder you know what Bone-Eating Ice is.

31:09.783 --> 31:10.783
How funny.

31:11.183 --> 31:12.783
Since when did the Lingbi Sect's assassins

31:13.103 --> 31:15.663
grow so soft-hearted?

31:17.063 --> 31:18.063
What are you talking about?

31:18.463 --> 31:19.783
What Lingbi Sect assassin?

31:21.463 --> 31:23.223
Looks like your friend

31:23.223 --> 31:25.063
still doesn't know who you really are.

31:27.663 --> 31:29.143
We've got two grown men right here.

31:29.463 --> 31:30.823
Why are you bullying a girl?

31:31.343 --> 31:32.503
If you've got guts, come at us!

31:33.903 --> 31:35.343
Don't rush.

31:36.543 --> 31:38.063
Here I am.

31:40.663 --> 31:41.503
Heal her.

31:42.023 --> 31:42.783
Otherwise,

31:42.823 --> 31:43.943
there's nothing to talk about.

31:45.023 --> 31:46.023
Sir,

31:46.183 --> 31:48.783
how did you know I wanted to talk to you?

31:48.783 --> 31:50.503
If anything happens to her,

31:50.623 --> 31:51.623
I can guarantee

31:51.943 --> 31:53.063
that what you want

31:53.343 --> 31:54.623
will never be yours.

31:56.063 --> 31:57.863
Oh, I'm so scared!

31:59.343 --> 32:00.503
Treating her

32:00.623 --> 32:02.063
isn't out of the question.

32:06.063 --> 32:07.423
This sir,

32:07.783 --> 32:09.983
you were so fired up just now.

32:10.223 --> 32:11.023
What,

32:11.343 --> 32:13.103
trying to play the hero?

32:13.343 --> 32:14.343
And what if I am?

32:15.223 --> 32:16.063
How about this:

32:16.623 --> 32:19.503
if you stab yourself once,

32:19.903 --> 32:21.103
I'll treat her wound.

32:22.743 --> 32:23.543
Xiao Qianqing,

32:23.983 --> 32:25.303
don't listen to this madwoman...

32:25.463 --> 32:26.903
Well?

32:27.423 --> 32:28.223
If you don't,

32:28.663 --> 32:31.423
Miss Zhong will die from this Bone-Eating Ice.

32:46.983 --> 32:48.103
Not deep enough.

32:48.423 --> 32:49.463
Go deeper

32:49.543 --> 32:52.343
and the two ladies will go to the VIP parlor.

32:52.863 --> 32:53.783
There'll be food,

32:53.783 --> 32:54.663
drink,

32:54.903 --> 32:55.783
medicine,

32:55.983 --> 32:57.103
and a warm brazier.

33:14.903 --> 33:15.903
That's the spirit!

33:16.543 --> 33:20.783
Take Miss Ling and Miss Zhong to the VIP parlor.

33:20.783 --> 33:21.303
Yes, Madam!

33:35.303 --> 33:36.343
The drug we gave you

33:36.423 --> 33:37.903
does more than just sap your strength

33:37.983 --> 33:39.103
and block your inner force.

33:39.423 --> 33:41.543
It also slows your bleeding.

33:41.863 --> 33:43.543
You'll die very slowly,

33:44.103 --> 33:45.343
and ever so beautifully.

33:47.183 --> 33:48.423
What are you really after?

33:48.983 --> 33:50.543
I thought you knew.

33:50.663 --> 33:51.983
How would I know if you don't say?

33:52.543 --> 33:53.423
Don't rush.

33:54.103 --> 33:55.223
You can stay here

33:55.223 --> 33:57.543
and slowly admire your brother's misery.

34:25.103 --> 34:25.903
Cangcang...

34:28.983 --> 34:30.223
there's something

34:32.223 --> 34:34.543
I've never known how to say to you.

34:36.983 --> 34:37.983
I...

34:49.903 --> 34:50.743
You don't have to.

34:51.783 --> 34:52.903
I already know.

34:53.663 --> 34:55.183
I've actually suspected for a long time

34:55.423 --> 34:57.303
that Master sent you to my side.

34:58.343 --> 35:00.183
After his identity was exposed,

35:00.423 --> 35:01.983
I started doubting who you were too.

35:03.423 --> 35:04.223
But...

35:06.983 --> 35:08.103
if the truth had really come out,

35:08.663 --> 35:10.543
I wouldn't have known how to face it either.

35:13.663 --> 35:14.423
Cangcang,

35:15.103 --> 35:17.303
I never meant to hide it from you.

35:18.423 --> 35:20.743
You're the person I care about most.

35:21.783 --> 35:23.103
I'd rather go to my death

35:23.103 --> 35:25.223
than ever hurt you in the slightest.

35:25.303 --> 35:26.423
I know.

35:27.223 --> 35:28.663
That's why I trust you.

35:28.783 --> 35:29.903
I won't hold it against you.

35:36.343 --> 35:37.663
After everything we've been through,

35:38.183 --> 35:39.223
I've finally realized

35:39.223 --> 35:41.103
a lot of things aren't simply black or white.

35:41.543 --> 35:42.343
I know

35:42.903 --> 35:44.543
you must have had your reasons.

35:47.903 --> 35:48.983
You've changed.

35:50.103 --> 35:52.103
It's like you suddenly grew up.

35:55.543 --> 35:56.663
Let's drop it.

35:56.783 --> 35:57.983
Our top priority now

35:57.983 --> 35:59.663
is figuring out how to get out of here.

36:02.663 --> 36:04.543
Those people are from the Lingbi Sect?

36:04.783 --> 36:05.543
Right.

36:06.903 --> 36:08.463
They know who we are,

36:08.983 --> 36:10.423
and they know ordinary poisons

36:10.783 --> 36:11.863
can't do anything to Xiao Huan,

36:12.863 --> 36:14.903
so they hit us with soft-bone powder right away.

36:15.423 --> 36:16.303
Looks like

36:16.423 --> 36:17.423
they came well-prepared.

36:22.743 --> 36:23.783
What is she after?

36:26.303 --> 36:27.543
How's your wound?

36:28.303 --> 36:30.783
I hate it when you dodge the question like that.

36:30.903 --> 36:31.463
Same.

36:32.303 --> 36:34.503
I hate it when you keep badgering me.

36:35.903 --> 36:37.663
I only got hurt because of you.

36:37.703 --> 36:39.343
You clearly just wanted to play the hero.

36:39.623 --> 36:40.623
What's that got to do with me?

36:40.783 --> 36:42.023
Of course it has to do with you.

36:42.303 --> 36:43.903
They were obviously coming for you.

36:44.263 --> 36:46.663
If I'd known, I should've wiped them all out.

36:49.783 --> 36:51.103
What else do you know

36:51.183 --> 36:52.303
about the Lingbi Sect?

36:53.183 --> 36:55.663
Ever since Master Li Lu sent me to you,

36:56.423 --> 36:58.023
I've barely had any contact with them.

36:58.663 --> 37:00.543
I only heard their saintess came out of seclusion.

37:01.183 --> 37:02.503
And not long ago,

37:02.503 --> 37:04.463
a Lingbi Sect Protector suddenly came to me

37:06.383 --> 37:07.983
and ordered me to kill Xiao Qianqing.

37:08.663 --> 37:09.783
There was such a thing?

37:10.663 --> 37:12.903
And Xiao Qianqing pulled a disappearing act

37:12.903 --> 37:13.903
and helped me get away.

37:14.663 --> 37:16.543
But now that they've recognized me again,

37:16.783 --> 37:18.303
they definitely won't let this go.

37:19.543 --> 37:21.663
But this time, I won't dance to their tune.

37:21.903 --> 37:24.783
Their earlier attempt to kill Xiao Qianqing

37:26.183 --> 37:27.783
is surely not as simple as it seems.

37:28.623 --> 37:29.543
And the woman today

37:29.903 --> 37:31.263
doesn't seem to want him dead.

37:31.903 --> 37:33.143
Then what does she want?

37:35.543 --> 37:36.423
This operation

37:37.303 --> 37:38.903
is to intercept and kill the Emperor of Great Qi

37:39.463 --> 37:40.863
and take back the Lingbi Sect's sacred relic.

37:41.663 --> 37:43.223
That's the Emperor of Great Qi!

37:43.543 --> 37:44.823
And you dare set an ambush for him?

37:45.503 --> 37:46.183
Don't forget:

37:46.703 --> 37:47.463
if he doesn't die,

37:48.023 --> 37:49.023
you will.

38:10.783 --> 38:12.103
I forgot to introduce myself.

38:13.183 --> 38:15.663
I'm Zhu Sha, branch leader of Shuyang chapter

38:15.663 --> 38:16.983
of the Lingbi Sect.

38:17.663 --> 38:18.903
As for me,

38:18.903 --> 38:20.143
I love thinking up

38:20.263 --> 38:22.423
new ways to torment people.

38:23.023 --> 38:25.903
So should I try them out on you,

38:26.063 --> 38:28.143
or on Ling Cangcang?

38:28.663 --> 38:29.783
If you lay a finger on her,

38:30.383 --> 38:31.143
I swear

38:31.663 --> 38:32.823
you'll never get

38:32.903 --> 38:34.063
what you're after!

38:34.263 --> 38:37.543
They say emperors are heartless.

38:38.023 --> 38:38.903
But you'd turn out

38:39.023 --> 38:40.903
to be such a lovesick fool!

38:41.183 --> 38:44.383
I heard the Ghost King's token, the Moon-Eclipse, is in your hands.

38:44.543 --> 38:45.303
How about this:

38:45.383 --> 38:46.543
divorce Ling Cangcang,

38:46.783 --> 38:47.903
and I'll marry you.

38:48.263 --> 38:49.303
You be the Emperor,

38:49.303 --> 38:50.423
I'll be the Ghost King.

38:50.423 --> 38:51.823
We'll work together

38:51.903 --> 38:53.023
and rule the world.

38:54.303 --> 38:55.183
My brother

38:55.263 --> 38:56.543
doesn't need to work

38:56.543 --> 38:58.663
with some freakish witch like you.

38:59.783 --> 39:00.663
Xiao Qianqing,

39:00.903 --> 39:02.783
do you want Zhong Lin dead that badly?

39:03.183 --> 39:03.943
Guards!

39:04.143 --> 39:05.343
Go tie Zhong Lin up!

39:05.343 --> 39:06.263
Wait!

39:06.663 --> 39:07.223
Miss...

39:07.663 --> 39:09.223
Miss Zhu Sha,

39:09.423 --> 39:10.143
hold on.

39:10.143 --> 39:11.183
Don't be hasty.

39:11.543 --> 39:12.663
If he won't agree,

39:13.023 --> 39:14.263
you can have me.

39:14.423 --> 39:16.903
I... I am younger than he is,

39:17.183 --> 39:18.303
and a lot gentler.

39:18.543 --> 39:20.903
We can work together.

39:23.783 --> 39:24.743
Really?

39:27.783 --> 39:28.543
Guards,

39:28.903 --> 39:29.943
open the cage.

39:36.303 --> 39:37.743
But I like

39:37.783 --> 39:40.063
the proud streak on you even more.

39:41.263 --> 39:43.023
If you're willing to spend one night with me,

39:43.183 --> 39:44.543
I'll let them go.

39:44.783 --> 39:45.583
How about it?

39:45.703 --> 39:47.143
What's wrong with your taste?

39:47.783 --> 39:49.343
He's got no sense of romance at all.

39:50.023 --> 39:51.023
I'm different.

39:51.543 --> 39:52.303
Guards,

39:53.623 --> 39:55.263
take him to my room.

39:55.263 --> 39:55.823
Yes, Madam!

40:20.543 --> 40:22.583
You really are a stunning beauty.

40:23.143 --> 40:26.783
No wonder the Emperor fell so hard for you.

40:26.943 --> 40:27.823
Cut the nonsense.

40:28.383 --> 40:29.543
What exactly are you after?

40:30.383 --> 40:32.903
There are so many lovesick ones in this world.

40:33.823 --> 40:35.063
Whether their love is real,

40:35.503 --> 40:38.183
my Illusion-Butterfly Powder will tell.

40:40.823 --> 40:41.703
Tell me,

40:42.503 --> 40:44.223
for your sake,

40:45.223 --> 40:46.983
will Xiao Huan hand over the Moon-Eclipse?

41:40.023 --> 41:40.823
Cangcang,

41:41.423 --> 41:42.263
does it still hurt?

41:46.383 --> 41:47.423
Let's think of a way

41:47.543 --> 41:48.663
to get out of here.

41:50.183 --> 41:50.943
Your Majesty...

41:55.023 --> 41:55.823
Cangcang,

41:56.663 --> 41:57.503
what's wrong?

42:03.063 --> 42:03.863
Cangcang!

42:05.423 --> 42:06.303
It's me, Xiao Huan!

42:07.583 --> 42:09.383
She's inhaled my Illusion-Butterfly Powder.

42:09.983 --> 42:11.823
It traps people in illusions.

42:12.983 --> 42:15.023
Her mind and the drug will tear at her,

42:15.103 --> 42:16.183
driving her into agony

42:17.063 --> 42:19.263
until her insides collapse and she dies.

42:22.623 --> 42:23.503
How long

42:23.503 --> 42:25.223
do you think she can last?

42:27.143 --> 42:27.943
Zhu Sha,

42:28.343 --> 42:29.623
how can you be so vicious?

42:29.743 --> 42:31.263
You're only realizing that now?

42:31.463 --> 42:32.863
You just want the Moon-Eclipse, don't you?

42:33.143 --> 42:33.983
I can give it to you!

42:34.463 --> 42:35.423
Right now, in her eyes,

42:35.503 --> 42:37.943
you're a mortal enemy she's fighting to the death.

42:39.063 --> 42:39.663
Cangcang,

42:40.623 --> 42:41.463
it's me, Xiao Huan.

42:42.463 --> 42:43.383
I don't believe you'd really kill me.
