[Ever Night]

[Episode 59]

Tang Grand Prince Li Peiyan,

15 years ago,

colluded with foes
to manipulate a verdict.

I will accept punishment.

I offer to relinquish
my title.

(Xia Hou's 'Open Spear')

I, Northern-Guarding
Great General Xia Hou,

greet His Majesty.

Rise.

Thanks, Your Majesty.

Xia Hou spent life in the army

with distinguished service.

You guarded Tang northern
border for ten years.

I, and Tang citizens, won't
forget your contributions.

Now you request retirement.

I permit it.

Many thanks, Your Majesty.

General Xia Hou, I have
something else to ask you.

15 years ago, remember General
Lin Guangyuan's treason case?

I remember. That year,
Lin Guangyuan was a traitor.

It was I who killed him.

Then how was he a traitor?

Your Majesty, I am now
not in the military.

I don't want to discuss this.

Since you've retired, I don't
have the right to question you?

You and I clearly know.

Officials here also understand.

You mention the case because

you want me to apologise
for wrongs to a little brat.

I, Xia Hou, am not at fault.

Lin Guangyuan deserved to die.

This is Fu Zi's intention.

What's wrong is wrong.

The matter must be concluded.

Fu Zi.

Why's it Fu Zi again?

Your Majesty, you rule as

Tang Empire emperor.

Why do you always talk about
that Academy's old man?

I ask you to recall that
the army protects Tang.

Those are loyal old men,

not some old man hiding
in a broken Academy.

I, Xia Hou, spent half my life in
Tang army, and earned much merit.

I made northern border
impregnable.

The cavalry I built up can
wipe out a nation anytime.

But for an old matter
of the past,

and the word of Mister One,

a distinguished General
must retire.

You haven't explained
to the army.

Now, you want me to bow
to a brat and admit wrong.

Regarding Tang army contribution,
I will always remember.

Despite these merits,

if this really is an unjust case,

however long ago,
I must correct it.

Xia Hou, don't forget, that dead
general was my Tang Great General.

In fact,

did General Lin Guangyuan
truly betray the nation,

or were there other
hidden motives?

This is the big wrong
you, Xia Hou, committed.

I, Xia Hou, am not at fault.

You're at fault.

15 years ago, a general died

for peace and safety

of you all!

You all don't understand.

No-one is qualified to judge me.

Even if this humiliating judgement
was accepted by me,

go ask 10,000 border soldiers

whether they agree.

You! And all of you, and
everyone in the world.

No-one can judge me.

Xia Hou retires.

Court is dismissed.

Court is dismissed!

Mister 13, why are you here?

If, in front of Court ministers,
you want to kill Great General,

I will admire your courage.

But I tell you,
it will be stupid.

Even if I had such courage,
I won't be so stupid.

Since I'm here,
I should do something.

Many were guessing what I'd do.
I think you did too.

In fact, even I wondered
what I'd do.

Have you decided?

Tianqi Year One, as I fled
the capital, I decided.

For 16 years, with determination
and tenacity, I survived.

I stayed alive to re-open
the case of General Lin.

What do you want to do?

I want you to confess.

But I know, unless I defeat you,

that's impossible.

Do you get a chance?

Under Tang law, you can't kill
a General whose life

was dedicated

to meritorious service
to Tang Empire.

So, we only have one path.

Life-and-death duel.

Ning Que, are you crazy?!

Sang Sang, not stopping him?

Cutting the left palm means
a duel where one dies.

You'll use your life for
an uncertain outcome.

Is it worth it?

This matter involves you,
Grand Prince.

Do you fear the next man
I'll challenge

is you?

A proper battle
is the best choice.

Because if I kill you,
I needn't take responsibility.

So you accept my challenge.

You planned this for years.
I can't waste your efforts.

Acting like this is
your path to death.

Dead or not, the end will tell.

Since you're so anxious to die,

then I'll fulfill it.

Time and place, you decide.

In three days, at Yan Ming Lake.

Mm. As you wish.

I expected your arrogance.

A hawk faces an ant.
I don't need arrogance.

His Majesty arrives.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Imperial Edict.

Grand Prince Li Peiyan,
due to Tianqi Year One matters,

loses Royal rank;
demoted to commoner.

Xia Hou loses military rank;
demoted to commoner.

Censor Zhang Yiqi,

ex-officials Chen Zixian
and Yan Suqing

won't be investigated
as they're dead.

His Majesty found that the case
of General Lin Guangyuan

for treason was a grievous
and false accusation.

General Lin Guangyuan,
Lin Guangyuan's wife,

Deputy-General Sha Gang,
Captain Cheng Xinzheng,

Secretary Lin Hai,
Officer Hu Hua...

The unjust case is revoked.

16th Year of Tianqi, winter.

That is all.

Thanks, Your Majesty.

His Majesty said, if this
correction isn't enough,

any requirements may
be requested.

Thanks for Your Majesty's
generosity.

Hearing familiar names,

I feel consoled, and on
their behalf, I thank Your Majesty.

Yet, some names are missing.

Who's left out?

General Lin's household
are all included.

Impossible anyone is missing.

Many household names
are missing.

Such as, the cart driver.

Such as, the cook.

Such as, the gardener.

Such as, the maids.

Also...

my parents.

His Majesty gave first honours
to General Lin and General Lin's wife.

The general and the general's wife...

were not my parents.

Everyone, charge!

I'll fight you to death!

Mother!

Let's go!

- Let me go!
- Don't go there!

Run!

Let's go! Hurry!

Mother, come back!

Mother!

He isn't General
Lin Guangyuan's son?

Who is he?

His Majesty said, if you aren't
Lin Guangyuan's son, who are you?

I wished I was General's son.

But I'm really not.

My father was not the General,

not a captain, not an official,

not even...a clerk.

He was merely General's
doorkeeper.

His name...was Ning Xian.

General has returned.

My mother was Li Sanniang.

She was just a lowly servant.

She was Young Master's wet nurse.

She was sold from He Bei county
to General's house.

Actually, she never had a name.

Because she was third
in her family...

from birth till death, she was called Li Sanniang.
(san = third, niang = woman)

I know what books say.

A prince whose throne was
usurped left his country.

Then he returned for revenge
and regained his throne.

A young master fled from a home
wiped out by a frame-up.

After hardships, he seeks justice.

But why must the avenging
main character be a prince?

Can't the son of a doorkeeper
and servant seek revenge?

The General's son can live.

The doorkeeper's son must die.

This is indeed the world's
most foolish idea.

You aren't General's child.

But you possess
General Lin's bravery.

Your Majesty.

I had a friend.

His name was Zhuo'er.

His hometown was on
Yan-Tang border.

Because of Lin Guangyuan's case,
his entire village was slaughtered.

The only survivors were him
and my maid,

Grand Secretary Zeng's
lost daughter, Sang Sang.

Zhuo'er was a villager–

like me, a lowly man's son.

Can't a doorkeeper's son seek
justice for family and friends?

Your Majesty.

I know Xia Hou has a 'death
exemption' gold medallion.

Even if this case is justly
corrected, he won't die.

I, and those who died,
can't accept this.

So,

I must duel with him.

Please, Your Majesty, permit it.

I permit you and Xia Hou
to have a fair duel.

His Majesty said he agrees you
and Xia Hou can have a fair duel.

Thanks, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Return to the Palace.

We escort His Majesty.

[Tang Imperial City]

Take a look.

Come, customers, look.
This just arrived.

Come, customers, look.

[Heaven Dao South Gate]

Preceptor. I'm here.

If you insist on carrying out
this duel,

then you must hand over
the object first.

You know what I mean.

Why?

It's your personal grudge.

As it's personal, how can
you use the nation's weapon?

If, after the duel, you can
luckily keep living,

I'll return the object to you.

When I left the Palace, I gave
the object into His Majesty's care.

What did he say?

His Majesty said,
retrieve it on returning.

You no longer have
the Array Eye Pivot.

You still insist on a duel?

You said it. This is
a personal grudge.

I won't use a national weapon.

But I don't intend to give up.

Preceptor, any other matters?

Ning Que takes his leave.

[Princess' Residence]

Mama, Ning Que got in
the pond to catch these fish.

Princess' birthday is special.

What's past has passed.

I hope you always remember
your parents' expectations of you.

A fisherman caught fish;
he is content.

A woodcutter cut wood;
he is happy.

His Majesty ordered Xu Chongsang
to lead Royal Guards

to block Lake Yan Ming routes.

Xia Hou is Empress'
strongest support.

This time if he loses,

for Third Prince and you,
it'll be a good thing.

But Xia Hou won't die easily.

Ning Que's revealing his identity
forced him to an impasse,

yet forced himself to
the edge of death.

This duel to the death
will be fierce.

Princess, you're worried
about Ning Que?

Rather than worrying
about his survival,

let's say... I'm worried about
this game's outcome.

Why say words contradictory
to your feelings?

Wow, it's so beautiful! It's snowing!

Young Master, look!

Snow makes you so happy?

This snow was a slim hope.

This snow is unlucky for Xia Hou.

But whether it's snow or ice,

Young Master will win.

Young Master will win.

I will win.

(Xiling Immortal Shrine)

Xia Hou agreed to Ning Que's
duel to death.

Upright Xia Hou thinks
he won't lose.

Never thought a See-Through
Cultivator

would issue a challenge above
his level to a Wu Dao expert.

Do you mean Ning Que
will be defeated?

The Academy people
aren't simple.

- What's this?
- Food.

To drink.

Drinking mutton soup on
Winter Solstice is our habit.

Try it.

~won't you see my crying face~

~it snowed in my dream that night~

How is it?

~endless night~

Fill it up.

Ye Hongyu, you've lived in
my house so long.

Shouldn't you help Sang Sang
with chores?

- You're talking to me?
- Don't feel mistreated.

Grandmaster of Light
did chores at my home.

I think you should learn
from his glorious tradition.

In our home, fetch water,
wash dishes, do chores.

If word spreads, my home
will receive compliments.

~I can almost approach your side~

The stove is warming buns.
Young Master knows you like them.

He waited in the cold
to buy them.

I'll bring them now.

~I can almost be near your side~

~hiding my love~

Hot buns with mutton soup–

a taste you'll never forget.

~near to your side~

Indeed, it's unforgettable.

Don't forget your promise.

In this lovely scenery,

having a fight is the thing to do.

Come.

Come on.

Demon Sect martial arts
emphasizes speed and power.

This Xiling sword skill
is a normal one.

But Xiling seniors designed it
to eliminate Demonists.

Ye Hongyu, why be long winded?

Just go for it.

Not bad. You learn fast.

Ning Que, I must admit,
you're shameless

but talented in Cultivation.

Talented, I know.

As for shameless,
everyone knows.

Stop wasting words.
The duel approaches.

Sometimes attitude matters
more than ability.

No matter what,
come back alive.

Because your life
is for me to take.

You ate my food, and
still want to take my life?

I won this.

Shameless.

Little Bro, what are you
doing mysteriously?

Stinky brat, hurry and go.

Thanks, 4th-Senior Bro.

Thanks, 6th-Senior Bro.

Young Master, it looks so nice.

You or the hairpin look so nice?

Both look so nice.

I shouldn't say this.

Even if you are demonic,
you can't kill Xia Hou.

We fought many times
before winter.

Your combined Talisman and
Sword skills improved, but–

Xia Hou isn't without weakness.

He steps on the battlefield I chose.

That is his first mistake.

I can help you

by giving you Grand River Sword.

Thanks for your kindness.

Can I take that Sword to
Old Library to protect it?

This Sword is in my heart.
Do as you like.

On behalf of the Academy and those
able to see Grand River Sword,

I thank you.

Come, let me look.

This looks really nice, Sang Sang.

If you dress up a bit,
you look even nicer.

Sang Sang.

Have faith.

[Ever Night]

~Hey, I can only say sorry~

~You, who've forgotten time,
look a bit lost~

~You seem faraway, in front of me~

~Time blinks by; take it easy~

~Life is still the same~

~Hey, let me change the ending~

~Yet I can cover it up
only a short while~

~Don't obsess or say sorry~

~Loser just treats winner~

~Better not meet rather
than cry on parting~

~Night is long and dark~

~Don't leave regrets~

~I've seen right, wrong, gratitude,
grudges, words, acts~

~I risk danger, desperate for you~

~Umbrella in old Chang'an~

~Night nears; talismans burn~

~Fight till all is gone
in chaos and darkness~

~See us blaze through darkness,
changing Heaven and Earth~

~Spur the horses forward~

~Geese fly south before snow~

~Get drunk at a warm coast~

~Under slashes of the sword,
we love each other still~

~Under slashes of the sword,
we love each other still~
