=Episode 27=

Today, Xiao Xu will be exiled to Jizhou

and not to return to the capital for life.

If I were you,

I would leave this palace forever.

Xu, I'm coming for you.

I will stay with you

and won't let you be alone.

Last night, I had a dream.

A dream?

I dreamed that I was engaged to Ning Chuxi.

Side by side, our brows in harmony unite.

I hold your hand, through life we'll go.

Ning Chuxi was still madly in love with me.

And using Prince Ning's power,

I absorbed part of

the northern frontier's forces in just three years.

Three years later,

under my arrangements,

Xiao Xingheng died shortly

- The military seal is yours. - after the autumn hunt.

Take good care of Chuxi.

With Prince Ning's support,

I successfully ascended to the position of Crown Prince.

Later,

to marry

my beloved woman,

and to rid myself the Ning family that was no longer of use,

yet constantly suppressed me,

I allowed you to accuse Ning Chuxi of an affair,

and let her be poisoned to death.

Indeed,

as long as it's the wine sent by Xu,

you'll never doubt it.

Aunt, save me!

Chuxi,

why did you do this?

Why would you poison yourself?

If only you had listened to me,

you'd be the Empress eventually.

Why were you so impatient

to do such a foolish thing?

But today,

even if you die here,

no one will see it.

After Ning Chuxi's death,

Prince Ning rebelled.

I executed Prince Ning under the charge of treason.

Afterwards,

I eliminated Xiao Han, who opposed me everywhere,

and finally ascended to the throne!

Long live the Emperor!

I crowned my beloved woman as Empress.

Sounds crazy, doesn't it?

It was so real.

So real that it feels like this is my life.

This should have been my life!

But

why did it turn out like this?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Get out!

I hold your hand, through life we'll go.

Long live the Emperor!

(This should all have been mine.)

(How did it come to this?)

Is it you?

Now I know why.

If it weren't for your meddling,

and if you hadn't bewitched me,

Ning Chuxi would still have married me.

Then everything in the dream

would have been real.

It's your fault, all your fault!

It's my fault.

It's my fault.

Did you ever truly love me?

Perhaps I did.

Could you hold me one last time?

♪Harps play, I never lost in trance♪

♪Hearing the breeze, a tear falls, on the corner of my eye♪

♪In the rest of life, I gaze at you, longing out of reach♪

♪Our meeting was but a dream, leaving no trace♪

♪Parting with old friends, have you seen them walk?♪

♪In the next life, may the sea calm the days and nights♪

♪Black hair falls back to the old home♪

♪Only because of contemplation♪

♪If I search for you, the long parting is hard to bear♪

♪Life and death, a tale in the play♪

♪Memories grow cold♪

♪Why give your heart to the heartless?♪

♪Our happy life is but a dream♪

♪We'll wake up eventually♪

♪Autumn winds rise, maple leaves fall in the autumn forest♪

(New Year's Eve)

Here, eat more crab sticks.

It's delicious.

Slow down.

I know. I'm not a child.

Eat.

- Have some more. - You too.

Shall I peel some shrimp for you?

Sure.

My Chuxi has finally found a good match.

Mother, stop worrying so much.

Children have their own blessings.

Are you satisfied with your son-in-law?

My son-in-law is both scholarly and chivalrous.

Chuxi is fortunate enough

to marry him.

Yes.

Chuxi, treasure this destined bond well.

Yes.

Let's toast to this.

- Come on. - Come on.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Come on.

Cheers.

What a perfect match.

- Have some dishes. - Have the dishes.

Try this one.

Try this.

Delicious.

Your Highness, you must be busy with court affairs.

How do you have the leisure

to handle such trivial matters?

Anything concerning Chuxi

is never trivial to me.

I must take care of it personally.

I know.

Oh, dear.

Our Ning family can't even afford a new plate

for sauces.

The Crown Prince has to

pick cilantro for my daughter personally.

Alright, you're just reluctant to part with your daughter.

Mother, you don't know

how I lived these three years without Chuxi.

Let's go.

How did you get through it?

By draining myself internally.

You...

So loving.

Where are you going?

Don't go.

Dig in.

- Let's drink. - Sit and eat.

- Come on. - Alright.

I'll toast you.

Cheers.

Why does tonight feel a bit unreal?

Have you drunk too much?

I'm not drunk.

After all, the one I'm holding is real.

Xiao Xingheng.

Yes?

Look, what's in the sky?

Stars.

Stars shine so that everyone

can find their own star.

And what's on the ground?

You.

I have you too.

Xiao Xingheng,

although I can't empathize with your past,

I'll be your best listener

from now on.

(Now I've found my star.)
