[Till The End of the Moon]

[Episode 21]

Emperor Jin lives there.

Just do as we agreed.

Go in and take a look.

Take one look and come back.

I'll ask someone to send you back.

Got it. Where are you going?

I'll go see Ye Qingyu.

I'm afraid he broke his head.

His head is already broken,

or how could he like you?

Be quick and neat.

Come on…

Keep going.

How is your injury?

It's fine, thanks.

You're just in time.

Here's a thing that bothers me.

-Chief Pian. -Chief Pian.

-What did I teach you? -Chief Pian.

You've forgotten everything

in just a few days.

I don't care whatever kind of imps you were.

Even I have to carry my tail between my legs

since we're on board.

If you keep going like this,

the emperor might kill you for your elixirs.

Your Majesty.

[Little Devil God looks fine.]

How's your assignment

[going so far?] It looks like he isn't seriously injured.

[Has he recovered?]

Your Majesty.

[Thankfully, he's fine.]

If something goes wrong…

[But why is my head so heavy?]

What's that sound?

Are the chefs killing pigs?

No.

Your Majesty.

The crow said it had just seen the devil

who asked them to deliver letters eight times a day.

[I fled fast.]

[Little Devil God couldn't have seen me.]

Ye Xiwu.

Why are you here?

I hid in the troops.

Pian Ran doesn't know this.

Don't punish her.

I just wanted to see you.

I heard you're injured.

And I haven't heard from you for days.

I…

[A nail.]

Ye Xiwu.

You smell bad.

This dress looks beautiful.

Baiyu, ask the doctor to bring some medicine.

Yes.

♪Your gaze, a little closer♪

♪Heart beats faster taking root in the void♪

♪The stars scattered in the sky♪

♪Quietly fall on your brow♪

♪As my heart sets its direction time passes and deepens♪

♪Let the galaxy be my pillow and let the moon be my kiss♪

♪I want to enter your dreams♪

♪To explore the spring in your eyes♪

♪We are devout, turning the gears of fate♪

The camp isn't as good as the palace.

If your wound is not treated timely,

it will worsen.

Understand?

♪We are devout opening the door of our hearts♪

♪Wishing to see only one person in this lifetime♪

♪Only hoping to be moved♪

♪Not to be afraid♪

♪The mark on my heart don't ask whether it's worth it♪

It's done.

Is there anywhere else you feel unwell?

No.

Thank you.

I feel…I feel much better.

I'll go back now…

Be careful.

[The demon soldiers couldn't]

[have shown up coincidentally.]

[What exactly is Xiao Yi up to?]

I can't wait for your demon soldiers to be ready.

Do you have a faster way?

Your Majesty, if you're willing to take risks,

my Lord can give you an idea.

Take the bones of a close relative of Tantai Jin as a medicine inducer

and nine pairs of boys and girls

as well as Tantai Jin's loved one as the sacrificial offers.

Only in that way, your wish will come true.

However, the conjuration

requires the bones of his close relative.

Okay, that's easy.

I'll send someone to get it.

As to Tantai Jin's loved one,

I'll have the mad maid here.

There is a sign of thunder for tonight.

It's a good time for the conjuration.

Once the conjuration is finished,

Tantai Jin will die for sure.

[These tents all look the same.]

[Why do I feel I've been]

[circling this place?]

The military region has a complex topography.

If you're lost,

you can follow Golden Crow.

Tantai Jin.

Don't you blame me for leaving the country

and secretly coming to the camp?

Why did you have to walk here?

That fox was deliberately giving you a hard time

to make you quit.

Didn't you see that?

So what?

Should I go back?

I never go backward.

I said I would come to see you.

I would keep my word.

But you're late.

My injury

has been healed.

[What did Pian Ran tell me?]

[I should play hard to get.]

Since you're well,

I'll go back tomorrow.

Unless your foot recovers,

you're not allowed to go anywhere.

That makes no sense.

You didn't want me to come

but don't allow me to leave now.

Do you think I'm

such an easy girl?

You…

Ye Xiwu, don't go too far.

You left without saying goodbye

and came to Jia Pass,

leaving me alone

in Palace of Jing

and making me worried about you.

Alright, I won't do it again.

Okay.

[Pian Ran's method worked.]

[Soul-slaying Teardrop is burning again.]

Then I'll go back to sleep.

Be careful.

[Why do I feel unsettled tonight?]

[Lingxing Hall]

[Tomb of Concubine Rou, Yue Ruanruan]

Ye Xiwu.

Ye Xiwu!

Gosh, you…

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Every minute of tonight is precious.

What are you doing in my bed?

Do you want me to be assassinated by Tantai Jin?

You go to his bed.

I'm not going.

You told me to play hard to get.

I…

As we're in the army,

we must always be on guard.

Tantai Jin is the leader of the army

and should set an example for his soldiers.

Ye Xiwu, you…

I…

You beat me.

I thought

you would run back in tears.

I didn't expect you to stick it out.

Ye Xiwu.

You really like Tantai Jin, don't you?

I…

Not very genuinely.

I'm just stupid.

I mean

I'm a dumbhead.

Pian Ran.

Let's sleep.

Good night.

Your Majesty.

What's going on?

Emperor Sheng, Xiao Yi, stole the skeleton of Empress Dowager.

Quick… Hurry up.

Quick.

Pian Ran.

Tantai Jin.

Tantai Jin.

Tantai Jin.

Ye Xiwu.

Why is Tantai Jin suddenly leaving the camp?

What happened?

I have no idea.

I haven't been told, either.

Stay in your tent.

Don't come out, understand?

How much longer?

Your Majesty.

The spell will be done in a quarter.

Is your spell

really as good as you said?

I dare not lie to you, your Majesty.

The spell is super powerful.

No one can get rid of it.

The skeleton of Yue Ruanruan has been crushed into ashes.

With Tantai Jin's maid

as the sacrifice offer,

I will burn them all together

when the time comes.

Tantai Jin will head for his doom.

He'll die of a sudden illness

in three mouths.

Three months is too long.

It's the fastest way.

All right.

Be quick. It's thundering.

Yes.

Your Majesty, what's that?

Your Highness,

there's a woman outside wanting to see you

for something important.

Let her in.

Yes.

Xiao Lin.

Miss Xiwu.

Are you alright?

What do you mean?

Anything strange happened tonight?

Did you come to send a message?

I'm afraid

Sheng Kingdom will lose another battle tonight.

Your army is

the last army of Sheng Kingdom.

I heard they had followed my dad

in many battles.

If they're killed,

I'm afraid Sheng Kingdom will…

What did Tantai Jin do tonight?

He left the camp

an hour ago.

I thought he would take a night attack.

I've sent out all the scouts

but received nothing from them.

The Jing Kingdom's military is quiet, too.

Why?

[Tantai Jin.]

[What exactly are you trying to do?]

It's bad.

Miss Xiwu, get on your horse.

I'll ask Pang Yizhi to escort you back.

We can't let Tantai Jin

know you've come here.

Zhong Tai, Chen Xian.

-Ask Dragon Guards to defend the capital. -Palace of Sheng.

It has been a long time.

How did you get in?

What's the demonic hex?

Xiao Yi.

You ordered someone to excavate the graveyard of my mother

and take her skeleton to Sheng Kingdom.

Tantai Jin, you want to beat me.

Do you think I didn't know you ganged up

with Prince Xuancheng?

Given your crime,

how can I forgive you?

When you killed your brother to seize power,

had you thought of getting punished?

It seems like

it was really you who gave the order.

These wizards.

You asked them to cast a spell on my mom's skeleton

to kill me.

I'm not paying you to stand around.

Keep on.

Kill him.

Xiao Yi.

For your own prestige,

you caused the deaths of innocent civilians.

Protection!

In order to kill me,

you sacrificed your own people.

What's the difference between you and demons?

I wanted to give you extra days.

Unfortunately, you're asking to die.

Shut up!

Sheng Kingdom is thriving now

and needs your head as a sacrifice.

Since you delivered yourself up,

I'll dispose of you.

At dawn,

the army of Sheng will conquer the Capital of Jing,

and I'll rule the world.

You want to kill me?

Arrest him.

What's wrong with you? Go!

Demonic cultivation. You learned demonic cultivation!

No wonder Tantai Wuji had kept you in the palace

and left you for death.

Tantai Jin.

You should have been killed by Tantai Wuji

if you hadn't been a hostage in the Capital of Sheng.

Is this how you repay your debt to me?

I extraordinarily regret having shown mercy on you.

I raised you in the palace.

Instead of feeling grateful to me,

you're actually being aggressive to me.

Xiao Yi, you're mistaken.

There's not even a trace of affection between us.

In Palace of Sheng,

I had been living like an ant.

If there's someone I hate,

the person I hate the most is you.

Xiao Yi.

Kneel,

kowtow to my mother,

and apologize to her.

Then I'll leave your torso alone.

No way!

Drop to your knees!

Dream on!

Stop…

I'll kneel

and apologize.

Tantai Jin, you're doomed!

You monster,

why did you come back?

Why are you still alive?

You want me to apologize to her.

But it's you who should apologize.

Everybody knows

that your mother died giving birth to you.

You caused her death!

Tantai Jin, have you forgotten it?

You should thank me

for calling for the rain

and washing up everything.

Mom.

You are left with nothing.

You jinx, you're doomed.

Go to hell! You monster!

[You promised my mother to take care of me.]

[I'll repay you with the stab.]

[Yingxin.]

[You've suffered too much.]

[Death is a merciful release]

[for you.]

[Jialuan Hall]

Miss.

Miss, where can we go?

You're right.

Sheng Kingdom is conquered. Where can I go?

Give me your valuable things,

or I'll kill you.

We don't have anything valuable.

Please let go of us.

Miss.

I wanted to rob you,

not kill her.

[All over the world,]

[besides Ye Xiwu,]

[there's actually no one I care about.]

Your Majesty, watch out.

Dragon Guards. You work for Xiao Lin.

Prince Xuancheng will be here in a second.

Tantai Jin, you can't escape.

News surely spreads fast.

But…

it's not your place to decide my fate.

Today,

I won't kill you.

Xiao Yi is dead.

I'll definitely rule the world.

Your Majesty.

[Tantai Jin.]

[The most powerful person in the world]

[is Tantai Jin.]

[Ye Bingchang…]

[Why hadn't I thought of it?]

[The safest place]

[is Palace of Jing.]

Your Majesty, I'm Bingchang.

Your Majesty.

Back off.

Your Majesty, I'm Bingchang.

Ye Bingchang.

What do you want?

Your Majesty.

Now that Sheng Kingdom is conquered,

you've ruled the world.

I'm a weak woman

who has no one to depend on.

Your Majesty, I beg for your mercy.

Please take me with you.

All right.

Take her away.

Prince Lin, they all fainted.

[I'm late.]

[Father.]

[Your Majesty.]

[There's another thing.]

[The crow reported]

[that Miss Xiwu went to]

[Xiao Lin's camp alone after we set off.]

[After that,]

[we encountered Dragon Guards.]

[Miss Xiwu is suspected]

[of treason.]

[Ye Xiwu…]

[Did you]

[write to me everyday because you were worried about the Sheng?]

[Did you hurry to my camp]

[to protect Xiao Lin?]

[I can't believe you]

[betrayed me for Xiao Lin.]

Why is Bingchang here?

[Right.]

[Little Devil God is fond of her.]

Did you see my medicine?

Pian Ran.

What happened last night?

Did you find out about it?

They went deep into Sheng territory.

The Sheng will be destroyed soon.

By that time,

Tantai Jin probably won't need me anymore

and will let me go.

Do I sound too delighted?

I forgot you were from Sheng.

It's okay.

By the way,

I heard Tantai Jin came back with a woman.

A pretty one.

You should be careful.

All men

are unreliable.

You know, Ye Qingyu

got himself bruised

from head to foot

and got wet in the rain.

I found it.

[Tantai Jin went to the Capital of Sheng.]

[What exactly happened last night?]

[Why did he become like this?]

Tantai Jin.

Were you waiting for me in the camp

last night after I left?

Were you worried about me?

You left the camp abruptly last night.

What happened?

Do you want to know what happened to me

or what happened to Xiao Lin

or what happened to the Sheng?

Yes.

Tell me everything.

Okay.

I'll tell you.

Last night,

I went to Palace of Sheng and killed someone.

Ye Xiwu, you're afraid of me.

I'm not afraid of you.

Why should I be afraid of you?

Look at my eyes.

Don't lie.

Who did you kill?

A lot of people,

some of whom are familiar to you.

Let me think.

[Emperor Sheng, Xiao Yi.]

[Go to hell! You monster!]

[And Yingxin.]

You…

I cut Xiao Yi to pieces

and summoned the blood ravens.

The ravens gnawed him clean

and ate up his bones.

I ripped out Yingxin's neck

and burned her.

By the way,

I want to thank you for tipping off Xiao Lin

and brought him to the gate.

I was so close

to killing him last night

and feeding him to the blood ravens.

Tantai Jin.

I thought…

What did you think of me?

Did you think I was a righteous person?

Did you think I was not insidious or calculating?

Did you think I wouldn't kill anyone?

Did you think I would forgive them

and let them go?

Or did you think

I was not a heartless freak?

[Right.]

[Devil God is born to be heartless.]

[I actually thought he would mend his way]

[and become a wise king.]

It's true.

You never changed.

You're always the Tantai Jin.

So do you regret it?

You regret staying with me.

You regret saying you liked me.

Yes.

I was blind.

How could I believe human nature can be changed?

Nature? What nature?

I was being so stupid

for wanting to be with you,

cook for you every day,

and serve you.

Yet you killed someone at midnight!

I would rather

feed a dog than you!

Well said.

That's well said!

I've told you.

I'm born to be heartless.

Now I get it.

Tantai Jin.

[Whoever is around me,]

[whoever serves me,]

and whether they are you or others,

or there's no one,

it makes no difference to me.

Do you think I'm willing to serve you?

Then you get out of here!

Ye Xiwu.

Don't be too arrogant.

Watch your tongue.

Don't think I

will spare your life only.

Your Majesty.

Don't move, please.

You're seriously injured.

Yingxin

almost stabbed your heart.

Take the medicine.

We'll get a doctor after arriving at the capital.

Keep it a secret.

Doctors can't cure the injury.

Her sword was attached to a spell.

What can we do?

It'll be scabbed after eight to ten days.

Put down the medicine

and get out.

Yes.

Is he here?

Yes… Do you want to go inside?

Who said I would go inside?

The ointment is good for external injuries.

Yes…

Don't tell him I brought it.

Why can't I tell him you brought it?

Just do as you're told.

Don't be so curious.

If General Ye asks me about it,

I…

You tell him you found it on the ground or got it out of water

or it dropped from the clouds.

Why?

You're just as obtuse as your general.

Who's outside?

Who is it?

Don't misunderstand.

General Ye's eldest sister

came to visit on His Majesty's order.

Why does she have to see her brother by order?

General Ye.

[It's her.]

General Ye.

Chief Pian brought you an ointment.

Thanks. Keep it.

Yes.

Pian Ran, this is my eldest sister.

Her name is Bingchang.

Bingchang, this is Pian Ran.

She's my…

My comrade.

Are you dumb?

Bingchang, thank you for visiting me.

You must be tired after the trip.

Take a good rest.

Your Highness.

The troops of Jing outflanked us last night.

We got caught up.

After the capital was conquered,

we had to escape here with civilians.

Did you count our troops?

Yes. Casualties account for nearly one half.

The wounded have been captured.

Half of our army is still remained.

They're our last soldiers.

The scout reported

the captured soldiers had been disbanded.

Side Concubine Ye is safe too.

Tantai Jin brought her

to his camp and accommodated her.

She is a woman.

I guess she was cornered into going with him.

You don't need to comfort me.

I'm glad Bingchang wasn't blindsided.

This war has nothing to do with them.

No matter whom she took refuge,

she's lucky to have survived.

Her family is in Jing Kingdom.

She can reunite

with her family there.

Let's forget about these annoying matters.

The emperor has died.

What's your plan?

That's right, Your Highness.

Sheng Kingdom is at stake.

We can't do without a mainstay.

That's right.

Sheng Kingdom

doesn't need the emperor anymore.

Where are the people who escaped

with the army?

Your Highness.

I have failed to defend the capital.

I'm sorry to have disappointed you.

Your Highness, don't be guilty.

Every country has a destiny.

It's not your fault.

Yes. Your Highness.

Your Highness, we got news.

Speak.

We got a secret report

that Emperor Sheng had failed.

He failed the formation and infuriated Tantai Jin.

He was killed in his palace at night

and burned to ashes.

He's dead,

which is none of my business.

Yes.

I gave demon soldiers to Xiao Yi

because I needed him to cover for my formation

on the southern border

and needed him to start the war

to pin down Tantai Jin for a while.

It's okay that he's dead.

The two countries are against each other.

No matter who's defeated,

it's not a bad thing.

Now that the formation is almost done,

the entire southern border will soon become a poison fortress

and no life will survive.

Although Tantai Jin can read animals' language,

there won't be any messengers.

It's brilliant, your Highness.

Let's go

to see our inventions.

Yes.

[Have a taste.]

[I cooked it for a long time.]

Please make an exception for me.

I want to thank His Majesty in person.

You can't.

I left the Sheng in a hurry

and didn't have much money with me.

Buy yourself some things.

No.

Nian Baiyu.

Let her in.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Are you feeling unwell, Your Majesty?

I came to thank you in person.

I'm much obliged to you

for rescuing me from disaster.

I really don't know how to show my gratitude.

Your Majesty, since you're in a bad mood,

I won't disturb you.

If you want to repay me,

stay with me,

accompany me day and night,

and never leave me.

Yes, your Majesty.

[It was surprisingly smooth.]

Now go and make white fungus soup.

From today on,

you

make me a meal once a day.

I'll go right away, your Majesty.

[Tantai Jin still has feelings for me.]

[Ye Bingchang, you can make any man love you]

[if you want to,]

[including a monster like Tantai Jin.]

[I'll try to please him]

[to gain his trust and become his concubine.]

[Then I'll plan for my future.]

[But I mustn't let the secret]

[of love threads to be discovered.]

[This is the last one.]

[Luckily, not all of them have dissipated.]

[No, Li Susu.]

[You're here not to have a quarrel with Tantai Jin.]
