=Episode 21=

Are you not going to treat my mother, Physician Chu?

Feng Zhilou seems

to quite like you.

Xiaoyu,

you should be my most loyal dog.

Take your shoes off.

I'll be waiting in the bedchamber.

Xiaoyu, I'll help you

no matter what you want to do.

Just like how you helped me.

You always carry the fragrance of various herbs

from the apothecary.

It's a soothing scent.

Xiaoyu,

life will be very hard in the days to come.

Maybe even miserable.

But

you must also remember.

You are a physician.

You can cure others,

and you can cure yourself too.

Do you really think

I'd forgive a dog that betrayed me?

How dare a mute like you

desire what doesn't belong to you!

You'd plot with Feng Zhilou behind my back.

No wonder people say

that barking dogs

seldom bite.

(Apothecary)

What is it?

For some odd reason,

I've been feeling uneasy

since last night.

Xiaoyu was summoned to Longevity Hall.

Why hasn't she returned yet?

Why don't we talk to Li Yan

so that Chu Xiaoyu is no longer responsible for treating Li Yue's blood poisoning?

Not only that,

but Li Yue's illness is also incurable in the first place.

Oh?

Have you not learned from last time?

You've misunderstood.

We'd never attack a bride of the Dragons,

the wife of Prince Shang.

However,

Her Grace just took care

of a dog.

Please come to collect the corpse.

(Apothecary)

You're here.

Come in.

Take your trash away too.

How filthy.

She's an eyesore.

Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu, wake up.

Wake up.

Are you mad?

No way.

Do you want to kill me

to avenge that mute?

What to do?

I'm the princess of Wujing

and of the Wujing Saintess' bloodline.

Dare you kill me?

Xiaoyu,

I'm sorry.

I was late.

I failed to protect you.

To the outside world,

I'm the fearless Feng Zhilou.

But in Xiaoyu's eyes,

I'm the friend

she needed to take care of.

I'm sorry.

What happened?

Princess Liluo,

your dear sister,

sure is a kind woman.

She took advantage of the mute

and illiterate physician serving her

who's unable to spill her secrets,

ordering her around.

She even went as far

as to kill Chu Xiaoyu to make a point.

Xiaoyu?

Where is Xiaoyu?

Zhilou,

was he telling the truth?

Come here!

Check out what your sister did!

Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu.

Wujing is full of treachery.

Only you treat everyone with sincerity.

You just arrived into my life.

How could you be gone just like that?

Young Lord,

no need to put on an act.

Do you really care for Xiaoyu?

Are you really upset over her?

All you care about is why Xiaoyu hasn't gone

to treat your eyes today.

Leave now.

Congratulations, your grace.

Prince Rong sent a message on the sanctuary's behalf.

In three days,

Prince Shang of the sanctuary

will deliver the Wujing Saintess' robe

and hold the ceremony

to welcome you to the sanctuary.

Feng Zhiluo isn't dead yet.

How am I meant to rest easy?

Do you want Prince Shang to marry me

with her still on his mind?

Furthermore, we both know

about the Wujing Saintess' bloodline.

The sanctuary fully believes in the results

of the ceremony.

Everything is ready.

Now is the time

to root out the problem.

Darn it.

Prince Shang is always

hanging around Feng Zhilou.

How am I meant to do it?

Liluo!

Young Lord.

Why did you kill Chu Xiaoyu?

You make a scene

and question me merely over her death.

Just how cruel are you?

You speak of taking lives with ease

like they're worth nothing!

How noble you are.

How graceful.

Li Yan,

you call me cruel,

but when you and Feng Zhilou steal Yue away,

you will not only get Mother and me killed,

you will have also killed the innocent civilians of Wujing.

Which of us is more cruel?

What do you mean by that?

Do you know that in order

to restore your eyesight,

Mother took full responsibility

so that you won't feel guilty

and can become the noble gentleman

everyone speaks of?

You're now the esteemed young lord of Wujing,

yet what did you do in return?

You wish to destroy my future

and everything we've done.

Mother and I are like this now

all because of karma.

Of course, there's a price to pay.

But the true price is

the status as Wujing City Lord

and the Dragon Queen!

My dear

and beloved brother.

You're actually crazy

and bloodthirsty monsters.

How are you any different from the Demons?

And you still think

you can marry into the Dragons.

Every day, Xiaoyu had to witness your filthy deeds

yet can't speak of them.

She had no one to confide in

and nowhere to plead for justice.

Oh, how much Xiaoyu suffered.

My dear brother,

you're a kid still living the dream Mother created.

You forever fantasize

that the world is fair

and beautiful.

You should be glad

that you're under my control now.

If we weren't blood related,

I wouldn't bother to keep you alive.

Get lost!

I don't have a sister like you.

Xiaoyu,

they say that in Wujing,

the souls of dead children

transform into fireflies.

With them by your side,

you won't be lonely.

Thinking of Xiaoyu?

I'm reminded of how I was always bullied

in Feng Manor.

But I had my father, secretly protecting me.

Uncle Qingyun silently supported me.

What about Xiaoyu?

The physicians of the apothecary,

Li Yue,

Liluo,

and the so-called nobles of Wujing

all abused and humiliated her.

She was already battered all over,

yet she was kind enough to heal them

and try her best to live on.

She was just a simple girl,

yet there was nowhere to shelter her.

Zhilou,

these are all meant to help you grow stronger,

to find more like Chu Xiaoyu

and have them come to you.

You'll protect them,

save them from future abuse,

and create a bigger home for them.

As for me,

I'll always be with you.

Nie Rongzhi has

come all the way here from the sanctuary

and declared I must continue to marry Liluo.

I have to settle this matter.

There's no need

for explanations between us.

I'll always wait here for you.

Keep yourself safe here.

Wait for my return.

Prince Shang,

you're here.

Do you regret it?

Tonight is a gorgeous evening.

Doesn't it make me look even prettier?

Tell me.

Am I a hundred times more beautiful

than Feng Manor's bumpkin?

You are the Wujing Saintess,

yet your dress

is too plain and bland.

It's like you're mourning.

The great Wujing Saintess

should be dressed in bold colors

to compliment your bold ambitions.

You've delivered the message on the sanctuary's behalf,

so leave already.

What is it?

Can I not make a detour

to admire the Wujing Saintess?

I think

that even if it's to be the Dragon King,

you don't actually want to win my favor.

You should know

that the princes of the sanctuary

still have the right to choose our own wives,

even if we don't

marry the Wujing Saintess,

no one can threaten our authority.

Are you mocking me?

That's just a fact.

Without the Dragon King's Decree,

you are just

a human princess.

But everyone wants

to be the Dragon King and Queen.

Alright.

I'm going to kill Feng Zhilou anyway

while you want to take Prince Shang's place.

Keep Chu Moshang away from Feng Zhilou,

and I'll consider your suggestion.

Finally, you have

proposed a good idea.

I merely think that the true victors

are those who can fight to the end.

The process doesn't matter,

but I must be the Dragon Queen.

Father, please retract the decree arranging the marriage with Wujing.

You don't want to watch

as I refuse to marry in public, right?

Father,

I've delivered your decree to Wujing.

We only await the delivery of the Wujing Saintess' battle robe.

Nie Rongzhi,

there's no need

for you to worry about my affairs.

Everyone, dismissed.

♪Like petals fall, gone with the clouds♪

♪Like stars fade fast in open skies♪

♪Like snowflakes melting softly in the evening haze♪

♪Like your fleeting glance that gave me one brief dream's grace♪

♪Like fireflies flicker through wild grass, fleeting light♪

♪Like evening breeze that stirs soft hair in twilight♪

♪Like fleeting thoughts that surge and then unwind♪

♪Chance meetings fade, just empty rooms left behind♪

♪You brought a wave that stirred a wild, restless sea♪

♪Light as a feather, yet it sank an island deep in me♪

♪In that one moment, life's grip I couldn't break or sway♪

♪Leaving me lost in memories, small and fading away♪
