[The Inextricable Destiny]

[Episode 20]

Madam has spent

several days in the pharmacy,

and our young master just wants

to see if she is okay.

He's not going to cause any trouble.

Can't you let him in?

Come on, let's have a match, let's fight.

Chengbi, come in for a moment.

I want to take a nap.

Go check on the bug box for me.

We're supposed to dispense some herbs
in the next couple of days,

and we need to keep a close watch.

Ling.

It's been months since we saw each other.

I wonder if you're doing well in Jialin.

I've finished all my business in Xunnan,

and the only thing I'm worried about is you.

Just like what I've said before,

if you're tired and weary,

I can help you.

Let me help you write.

Just like when we were on Mount Wuhua.

Thank you, Senior brother.

Best, Your Senior brother, Ren Yinxiao.

Come on. Reach for it again.

You...

How can you...

Are you mad?

Wait.

Stop right there.

Based on the Young Master's pulse,

I can't say there has been much improvement.

He's still unable to read or write,

and he can't understand complex words,

which means his mental condition
is still impaired.

Playing the zither should be
considered as muscle memory,

just like many musicians can play
even with their eyes closed,

and the tune flows smoothly.

The reason is simple.

They are so familiar with it

that the body has memorized the movements.

So it's not surprising
that the Young Master can play the zither.

But no matter what,

being able to play the zither is a good thing.

Indeed.

Lord, the Princess has come to visit.

The gifts sent by the Princess a few days ago

were too precious,

and I heard it was only
for the Astrology Pavilion.

I was just about to send someone to return it.

I didn't expect the Princess to come in person.

Once I send out a gift,

it's impossible to take it back.

Besides, it was specially prepared
for the Astrology Pavilion.

If Your Highness wishes to have a divination,

just send a notice.

Lord Rong.

Has no one told you

that my visit to the capital this time

is actually to choose a husband?

Sir, the zither you ordered
for the Young Master has arrived.

Rong Yu likes the zither.

Did we bring any to the capital this time?

Yes, we did. It's the Dragon Chant.

Deliver it to the Astrology Pavilion later.

Yes.

Lord Rong.

I guess I have

made myself pretty clear.

Yu.

Uncle.

I will introduce you.

This is...

I know her.

You know her?

I have seen her before.

Young Master, do you know who I am?

But we didn't exchange names last time, right?

Perhaps you were curious about me too?

I saw her on her way to the capital.

She said she was looking for her husband.

You remembered such a thing quite clearly.

She will stay for dinner tonight, you...

Uncle, I need to practice
my calligraphy tonight.

I won't disturb you.

I will skip dinner.

Zhanping, let's go.

Master Rong, I...

With the Celestial Grass.

Rong Yu will definitely get better.

Please.

This way.

Here.

Let him try it.

Like the last time.

Take it over a few days.

Young Master, can you still...

Eat it?

Water.

Young Master, should I...

Zhanping, water.

This is the character I recently learned.

You're always in the pharmacy.

You never come out, even for meals or sleep.

So I didn't have the time to show you.

No need.

If the tutor says it's right,

then it's right.

There are still things in the pharmacy
that I haven't organized.

I have to go now.

If you feel uncomfortable these days,

you can ask Zhanping to find me.

Can't I go?

What?

Can't I come to find you?

Why have you suddenly changed?

Rong Yu.

If one day,

I mean, if,

I did something to hurt you,

would you still do this,

hold on to me?

Young Master, the Princess is here.

I won't see her.

So this is where Young Master Rong lives, hmm?

It does look unique.

Who's this?

This must be He Jiuling.

Wait, you.

Our Princess is looking for you.

Sorry, but I have things to do.

You're a maid in the Rong family, aren't you?

You seem to have quite an attitude.

I have been standing here for quite a while,

and I'm tired

Your Highness, this is our Madam.

Madam?

She looks pretty worn out

and doesn't seem very dressed up.

I thought she was a maid
responsible for cleaning.

Sorry. My mistake.

It's okay.

Your Highness, our young master
is about to rest.

So he isn't resting yet.

Our young master is resting already.

What about all these things?

For food and beverages,
just hand them directly to Lord Rong.

As for the boat ride,

our young master is ill and should not travel.

Your Highness, you don't need to visit anymore.

Please leave the way you came.

Let's go.

Your Highness, our young master is resting.

Your Highness.

I have an order from the King

to not allow anyone to bully you.

I can teach her a lesson.

She just said a few words.

Why fuss over such small things?

What Rong Yu has is so little.

If one day

I have to leave him,

and someone else can be by his side
to care for him and love him,

I would always be grateful.

Right now, I am thinking

about how to take the next step.

This can't wait.

Get out of my way.

All of you, move.

I want to see your King.

Who's causing a commotion?

Me, the son of Jialin's Lord Zhongyong.

So it's the young lord.

Didn't we already send someone
to escort you out?

With all this going on, how could I leave?

My sister traveled thousands of miles
to Xunnan for a political alliance,

not to be kept as a prisoner.

This is outrageous.

Breaking into the palace is a crime
punishable by death.

You, you people of Xunnan humiliated us.

Aren't you afraid that Jialin
will raise an army against you?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Xunnan has never been afraid of anyone.

Blame Princess Xihe for provoking
someone that she shouldn't have.

Also, Young Lord, you don't
need to come anymore.

Our King is not in the palace,

and he won't see you either.

Please leave.

Lately, I've been constantly
reminded of the past.

Mount Wuhua, Master,

and you.

Even though you're all still here,

I'm so afraid

that one day, even you will disappear.

Senior brother, I miss you.

Is it true?

The Ministry of Rites is sending Rong Yu

to perform music with me
at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?

Yes, now every afternoon, the Young Master

will make time to practice with Your Highness.

Fortunately, before coming here,

my mother forced me
to learn the pipa for half a year.

So this was the plan.

Bring me my pipa.

Your Highness,

there's no pipa.

You've brought the Dragon Chant zither.

Why isn't my personal pipa here?

Your Highness said

our royal mansion can't have
you and the pipa at the same time.

So, the Lord has given them all away.

Then buy one.

Also,

I am now

a music enthusiast.

- Understood?
- Yes.

Go quickly.

Has anything happened with the Lord Zhongyong?

No, the entire capital has been calm recently.

Master Rong,

from now on, every afternoon,

I'll be here practicing the zither with you.

If you don't say anything,
I'll take it as your consent.

What should we do
at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?

I'm pretty good at playing the pipa.

Anything will do.

Young master, don't be silent.

If you don't want to hear
what the Princess has to say,

just nod.

Have you got any ideas about the collaboration?

If you find it hard to choose,

I've chosen for you.

This banquet is for everyone
to enjoy the music,

so there's no need to choose a difficult piece,

right?

You're so agreeable.

How about "Little Lotus Flower"?

This piece is both festive and simple,

and I'm very familiar with it.

Would you like to hear it?

Some parts weren't perfect,

but the main thing is that this pipa is new.

I'm not used to playing it.

What do you think of my playing?

It's okay, just say it.

Different strokes for different folks.

I can accept it all.

What you mean

is that I played pretty well, right?

Your Highness.

Your Highness, why are you running away?

I need some fresh air.

Are we going back to the young master?

No, we're not.

Now that I've come out,
going back would make people laugh.

Let's go home.

Give it to me.

I'm going back to practice all night.

Miss, I need you.

What's the matter?

Let's go.

Miss He, please come in.

Senior brother.

Your Majesty.

I plan to see you tomorrow.
Why did you come early?

Chengbi told me that you
were stopped outside the city,

almost got caught and taken
to the Ministry of Justice.

Your hand was injured.

How could I be at ease?

If I can't handle such small matters,

what kind of King of Xunnan would I be?

And it's not serious either.

I just haven't been riding
a horse for a long time,

and my hand has become vulnerable.

There was no need to rush.

I sent you a letter a few days ago
and you have already arrived.

Well, someone did say she missed me.

How can a King be so capricious?

If you were treated as a spy
and kept in prison,

I'd like to see what you'd do.

I'll just wait for my junior sister to save me!

I'm not in the mood for jokes.

You don't have to tell me.

You're not having a good time here.

But you couldn't help but tell me.

So something big must have happened,

which is why I rushed over so anxiously.

Ling, what on earth has happened?

It turns out

that Jialin's Astrology Pavilion

Is not just for show.

They really have powers.

That's why

I need to destroy the star chart first.

This way, Rong Jiang alone won't be any threat.

My plan is

to make the new antidote
and give it to Rong Yu,

before I go inspect the Astrology Pavilion.

This is not like you.

What do you mean?

Hesitant.

Is it because of Rong Yu?

Ling.

Sometimes, you can't be too soft-hearted.

Rong Yu is a member of the Rong family.

No.

Rong Yu is Rong Yu, and the Rong family
is the Rong family.

They are different.

How?

If he finds out that you used
the medicine to harm him,

would he still depend on you
and be nice to you the same as now?

His resentment towards you

is bigger than that of Rong Jiang.

From the moment the medicine went wrong,

it was destined that you two
would be enemies in this life.

Of course, the matter of the medicine

was greatly my fault.

I am not forcing you.

If you really can't do it,

let me.

I will avenge my own grievances.

I want to cure him

at least while his family is still here,

even if that family

is nothing more than a mirage.

It is the only thing I can do for him now.

Of course, you can seek your revenge.

You also mentioned that the Astrology Pavilion
can really make predictions.

Every force in the capital

is looking for those responsible for killing
the rebellious officials and traitors.

Have you ever thought that one day,

Rong Jiang will use the star chart

and find out about everything you've done?

For me,

your safety is the most important thing.

I've passed the fear of death long ago.

What about those who are still alive?

Those who are alive?

Our master and me.

Don't you think we'd be sad?

You never visited the Astrology Pavilion.

If you go there now
to investigate the star chart,

this unusual behavior of yours

is bound to arouse suspicion.

When the star chart is destroyed,

wouldn't you be the first suspect
in Rong Jiang's eyes?

Besides, you poisoned Rong Yu.

With so many things happening in the capital,

even if he can't confirm it,

he certainly won't keep you alive.

but I am the easiest access to the star chart.

An investigation doesn't
necessarily need easy access.

I can send people to help you.

Once we find out what the star chart is

and how to destroy it,

I'll leave things to you.

This way, you can avoid any suspicion.

Okay.

Thank you for your help, Senior Brother.

There's no need for that between us.

What's the matter?

The night is falling.

It's not 5 p.m. yet.

And you've been here less than an hour.

Indeed, I have a lot to tell you.

But Rong Yu just took the antidote I made.

I worry that he may need me and can't find me.

So I'm a little anxious.

It was me who was always in a rush.

Now,

it's your turn.

I'm sorry, Senior Brother.

I have already arranged everything in Xunnan.

This time, I want to stay in Jialin
for a few more days.

Be careful on the way.

Bye now.

Young Master, don't think too much.

Madam has only become distant to you

because she's not in a good mood recently.

Don't women always

have a period within a month,

when they like to make a fuss about nothing?

Zhanping.

Do you remember the royal
wedding banquet five years ago?

I do.

On our way back to the mansion at that time,

you were intercepted by the Madam halfway.

In that royal banquet,

the original betrothal

was for him and her.

I was the one who intercepted Jiuling halfway.

She hasn't smiled like that for a long time.

But I...

I always seem to make her cry.

Where have you just been?

We just... wandered around the mansion.

The young master is not feeling well.

Not feeling well?

No, not really. It's nothing serious...

The room was a little stuffy.

When you return to the room later,

open a couple more windows.

I am going to the kitchen
to make some mung bean soup.

Why did you even do all those things?

Why did you give them grapes and money?

You want to confine me
before we even get married.

Rong Yu, I don't want to marry you.

I thought you were a graceful gentleman,

but you are just a big liar and scamp.

Who would like a liar?

Have you never liked Young Master Rong?

No, never.

Young Master, Young Master, wake up.

Young Master.

Young Master, you seemed
to be having a nightmare.

I'm fine.

I just thought of many things
that I have always remembered,

but hope to forget.

Is Uncle in the mansion?

He is.

Good.

Go get him

and He Jiuling.

I've decided to tell her

that I've recovered.

Yu.

Are you sure?

Have you really recovered?

Three thousand books of poetry

and countless numerologies,

I remember them all.

Truly, Heaven blesses our Rong Family.

Heaven blesses the Astrology Pavilion.

I am going

to tell the world,

invite all the guests,

and let everyone know you're all right.

Uncle, the imminent birthday banquet

should be the biggest event in the capital.

I can't steal the limelight.

Let's not talk about it for now.

Besides, these years have shown
the warmth and coldness of human hearts.

I have seen through it after this experience.

Whether outsiders know or not

is not important.

Okay, whatever you say.

We'll just wait after the birthday banquet,

and hold a small banquet
for the people of the Astrology Pavilion

to let them know

that their Star-picking Master has returned.

Then I'll go arrange it now.

Thank you.

Don't say that.

I'm just glad you're okay.

I'll go tell Chengbi and Tan.

They've also helped a lot.

He Jiuling.

If you have anything to say,
say it later. I'll leave now.

When we got married,

there was no formal proposal or gift,

there was no meeting with the parents,

there were no friends and relatives present,

and there was no wedding dress.

Even worse, on that day,

you lost your closest family.

It was the beginning of your nightmare.

Where in the world is there
such a terrible wedding

and such an unhappy bride?

From where I see it,

this isn't right.

♫ The longing I write down for you ♫

You deserve a grand wedding.

He Jiuling.

After the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet,

♫ There's no escape for destiny ♫

let's get a divorce.

♫ Our lives are filled with joy and sorrow ♫

♫ The longings crystalize
into a bright galaxy ♫

♫ You turned around quietly
and closed the marriage book ♫

♫ Turns out you are my inextricable destiny ♫

♫ Turns out you are my inextricable destiny ♫

Okay.

How could you say that to Madam?

Is it because of last night?

Should I...

There's really no need for that.

How about we hear what the Madam has to say

and then make a decision?

What's the rush to go
to the Astrology Pavilion now?

[Rong's Mansion]
Madam is the most important.

Young master.

Young master, will you listen to me?

Miss.

Miss.

Have something to eat.

Let's go and find Senior Brother.

Did he really decide
to break up with He Jiuling?

I see how it is.

Since Yu has made up his mind,

then,

the Astrology Pavilion will be
closer to the Princess's Mansion.

so that those who are bald enough

to hold out hopes for marrying the Princess.

Go.

Send some supplements
to the Princess's Mansion.

Make sure to attract more attention.

Yes.

I have a rough understanding now.

The star chart was a piece of luck
that the Rong family's ancestors acquired

at the founding of the Astrology Pavilion.

There is a room hidden in the Pavilion

that is guarded strictly.

Others are not allowed to approach

or see it in person.

Those who have seen the star chart

wouldn't answer any questions.

Everyone was extremely vigilant.

I have sent men to investigate multiple times

and there weren't any results.

Never seen, not allowed to approach.

How am I supposed to know
what I need to destroy

when the target is not even clear?

A painting? A book?

Just destroy all of it.

Since we don't even know what it is,

let's just burn it all with fire.

I will think about it some more.

Do you want me to think of another way?

You have done enough for me.

From now on,

I will handle it myself.

You are afraid that I will be exposed,

and I don't want to involve you as well.

Besides,

my days as the Madam of the Astrology Pavilion

won't be long.

I need to make good use of it.

Rong Yu said

he wanted a divorce.

Isn't that perfect?

You two should never have been

tied together in this identity.

You two being married was wrong from the start.

That's right.

You don't seem to be very happy.

Ling, I am just worried about you.

What you have given to Rong Yu has already

surpassed what you should give.

Guilt or indebtedness

shouldn't present like this.

Could it be...

Forget it. Never mind.

Yes.

Yes. Yes.

I like him.

Do you hear yourself?

I know very well what I am saying.

I've tried to fool myself
into thinking otherwise,

but I can't.

Indeed.

He doesn't have a single trait

that matches what I usually
find attractive in a person.

He's weak and vulnerable,

expensive and troublesome.

Yet, I just like him.

I don't know when I started feeling this way,

but now I can't extricate myself.

How could you like...

someone like him?

He's still poisoned.

Are you talking about the Amnesia Powder?

But no one has ever forgotten
about the affection, right?

This Amnesia Powder

should be called Love-sickness.

So this is what a lovesick heart

feels like.

In your eyes,

he's a fool.

But what I see

is a simple Rong Yu.

I've thought about it.

If he can't protect me,

I can protect him.

If he can't do anything,

I just hope

he can remain

happy and cheerful.

Now, he's detoxified.

Senior Brother, he's all well now.

He's once again the Astrology Pavilion's

Young Master, who's loved and revered by all.

Ling.

I can rest assured now.

Your hand condition.

I'm afraid it will never get better,

but that's good.

It can constantly remind me

that it was not because of guilt

or indebtedness,

but the sixteen-year-old He Jiuling

stood in front of him with pure sincerity.

Do you like him that much?

That much?

What does that mean?

All I know is I was desperate,

especially when I knew

that I had to destroy the Astrology Pavilion

and kill Rong Jiang.

♫ Under the setting sun in dusk ♫

♫ I travel far for thousands of miles ♫

♫ Playing the zither under the moonlight ♫

♫ The drinks won't let me forget ♫

♫ The longing I write down for you ♫

♫ Our fate is written on paper ♫

♫ Just like the strongest wine ♫

♫ There's no escape for destiny ♫

♫ Looking back, I see you waiting ♫

♫ Our lives are filled with joy and sorrow ♫

♫ The longings crystalize
into a bright galaxy ♫

♫ You turned around quietly
and closed the marriage book ♫

♫ Asking how many stars there are in the sky ♫

♫ The longing I write down for you ♫

♫ Our fate is written on paper ♫

♫ Just like the strongest wine ♫

♫ There's no escape for destiny ♫

♫ Looking back, I see you waiting ♫

♫ Our lives are filled with joy and sorrow ♫

♫ The longings crystalize

♫ Gently I stroke the zither,
