[Destined]

[Episode 15]

By the way, Jiusi.

I went to Ye Mansion

according to your order.

How are they?

The Ye family

is gone.

All gone?

Apart from Ye Shi'an who was not in Yangzhou

and went back to the academy,

I didn't hear about any other survivors.

When I went there,

their bodies were

already taken away and burned.

Mrs. Gu.

This is...

This is the fan I embroidered for Yun'er.

How could it be?

Wasn't Wang Shanquan after money?

The Ye family was a noble family.

Why did he harm them?

A noble family like the Ye family

always despised him.

Now that he had the chance to take revenge,

he wouldn't let it slip.

Jiusi.

Take these two bags.

There are some money, food,

water,

and some other things inside.

Remember to open it later.

Okay.

Thank you.

What about your family?

Is everything settled?

They were originally living

outside the city.

So they are alright.

I have prepared the carriages.

I'm going to take them far away.

That's good.

Jiusi.

Mrs. Gu.

I'm leaving.

After parting today,

I don't know when

we'll meet again.

Please take care.

Stay alive.

Take care.

What are you thinking about?

I suddenly remembered

the three of us when we were little.

Tell me about it.

Wenchang was like you when he was young.

He was not valued by his family.

They always dressed him in

colorful clothes.

Because of this,

the kids in the private school

always laughed at him.

Chen Xun and I couldn't stand it.

To support him,

we also wore red clothes

to school the next day.

The kids in the private school

were scared to offend me.

As long as I wore red,

no one dared to bully him.

Since then,

the three of us became good friends.

What about you?

When did you and Ye Yun

first meet each other?

I forgot too.

I just remember

we've known each other

for as long as I can remember.

Her mother and my mother were childhood friends.

In our generation,

we were childhood friends too.

She may look obedient now,

but she was very annoying when she was young.

She was arrogant and unreasonable.

She even fought me for a piece of peach pastry.

Later,

my father married Madam Yue.

She suddenly changed.

She became very nice to me.

So, so nice.

She always thought of me.

She wanted to give me everything.

She even wanted me to marry her brother

and be her sister-in-law.

She wanted to be with me forever

and become a family.

Good thing you didn't marry him.

I told her,

when you grow up,

you have to marry someone too.

By then,

we won't be able

to be together forever.

Guess what she said.

What did she say?

She said.

She said...

She... She said

she would never get married.

She can't bear to leave her grandmother.

She can't bear to leave her mother.

She can't bear to leave her brother.

She can't bear to leave me.

She said,

she wanted to be the most

beloved girl in the family for the rest of her life.

Tell me.

Why was she so silly?

Tell me.

Why was she so silly?

Currently, all the paths

leading out of Yangzhou are being guarded.

The waterway is out of the question.

We can only take the mountain path.

A carriage is too noticeable.

It's better to travel on foot.

After we pass Yan City,

cross the border of Yangzhou,

and enter the Qingzhou border,

no matter how capable Wang Shanquan is,

he can't get us in Qingzhou.

[Qingzhou]

But in troubled times,

food prices will surely rise.

Along the way,

we should save as much as we can.

By the way,

you need to change into homeless clothing.

It's safer this way.

Sorry for putting you through

all of this.

Jiusi.

I don't mind at all.

I just think

you looked

very reliable just now.

If my parents hear you

say that I am reliable,

they will be so happy.

In the past,

someone was always holding my hand.

Now,

it's time for me to walk on my own.

Yuru.

I won't be willful anymore.

I won't let you down

or embarrass you.

I will be a good husband

and let you live

in peace.

Jiusi.

In the past,

I only hoped you could grow up soon

and protect me from the wind and rain.

But now,

I just want you

to be the same as before.

I want you to go out and play everyday

like a happy kid.

To enjoy cockfights,

catch crickets,

and enjoy the opera at the tea house.

Then, at night,

you could hum a tune

and ride a horse home.

Jiusi.

As long as you can be Gu Jiusi,

I’ll be happy.

I'm no longer Gu Jiusi.

But you have to be Liu Yuru.

I'll go pack up.

[Ministry of Personnel of Darong]

Jiusi.

Jiusi, come and take a look.

This is the Imperial Ranking List for the

Provincial Examination we didn't get to check.

[Imperial Ranking List for the Provincial Examination] [First Rank - Gu Jiusi]

I ranked first in the Provincial Examination?

I ranked first in the Provincial Examination!

I told you I could do it!

I ranked first in the Provincial Examination.

What's the old man

going to say this time?

What happens if I pass?

What then?

Enough.

Don't flatter me.

We don't produce scholars in this family.

I told you I can pass the exam.

Gu Langhua.

You were the only one who didn't trust me.

And now?

Now I've passed the exam.

I even ranked first.

It's fine to cry.

I'm here with you.

I hated him for hitting me when I was young.

So I never called him father

and called him old man instead.

I seldom ever called him

father before.

I always thought

he didn't care about me at all.

He only forced me to study

and pass the exam.

I always thought

he wanted me to be successful

so he could boast about it.

But now I understand.

He really wanted me to be capable.

He really didn't want me

to be in this situation.

But now I'm capable.

I have ranked first in the exam.

But he could never see it again.

I've been arrogant since I was young.

I despised fame and fortune.

I wanted to travel the world

with a sword on my back.

I learned martial arts for years.

But I couldn't even protect

my closest kin.

A mere Wang Shanquan

was able to

back me into a corner.

They died because of me.

They died because of me.

I was wrong.

I realized it too late.

I realized it too late.

Your Majesty, bad news.

Lord Liang has rebelled.

There are so many of you,

yet you failed to capture Gu Jiusi?

I'm afraid that

Gu Jiusi has already

escaped Youzhou territory.

He must be on his way to Youzhou.

Counting the days,

he should have arrived in Qingzhou.

If we want to catch Gu Jiusi,

we'll need the help of Qingzhou.

The Commissioner of Qingzhou and I

have always been enemies.

So he won't do us

this favor.

We don't need his help.

You just need to

utilize some wealth of yours.

Then, everyone

will be of use to you.

Send out a message.

The person who presents Gu Jiusi,

be he dead or alive,

will be rewarded with

100 taels of gold.

Yes.

We might as well use all the money

we have confiscated from his family

on him.

How much food do we have left?

It's not enough.

We won't be able to reach Youzhou like this.

We need to find another way.

Jiusi.

[Wanted]

I didn't expect Wang Shanquan's search

to reach all the way out here.

What should we do?

We can't stay here for long. Let's go.

Kind man, give me some food.

We don't have any food.

I beg of you.

Please save my daughter.

My daughter will die soon.

I beg of you.

Please save my daughter.

I beg of you.

Please be kind.

Please save my daughter.

Thank you.

She has food.

Please give me something to eat.

I haven't eaten for three days.

I beg of you.

Please.

They are wanted criminals!

We can trade them for food.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Here, food!

All for you!

It's fine now.

Jiusi.

On the day of the incident,

there were so many soldiers.

But I wasn't this afraid.

But now,

we're just like

those people.

We don't even know if we can survive.

We will survive.

We will definitely reach Youzhou.

How could you

treat Young Master Ye like this?

How barbaric.

Young Master Ye

is a famous Confucian scholars

He's usually

a proud person.

If it weren't for the chaotic times,

I'm sure he would've ranked first in the subsequent

examinations and met the Emperor already.

Kneel to the Commissioner.

Kneel.

Young Master Ye,

why are you so stubborn?

You've suffered so much.

You still don't understand?

I am simply

seeking talents.

Just kill me.

No.

Your Ye family

is the top family of scholars

in Jiangnan.

You are the only son of the Ye family.

How can I let your family

lose its only descendant?

I know.

You want me to submit to you

because you want the famous families and scholars

in Jiangnan to bear witness.

If even the Ye family has become

spineless and given up on our honor,

they wouldn't dare to disobey you.

But you're wrong.

I will not yield to your whims.

Because I'm not afraid of death.

Your forced confession and your torture

are not enough

to make me feel any fear.

I know you're not afraid of death.

But as long as you're human,

there must be something you're afraid of.

Mr. Ye, did I forget to

tell you something?

Your sister Ye Yun.

Did you think she was dead?

How can I bear to kill such a beauty?

Where is she?

She's in my villa.

But she won't live long.

What did you do to her?

Ever since she served me in bed,

she's been seeking death.

She kept trying to jump into the well when people weren't looking.

You bastard!

Behave!

I'll kill you!

Bastard!

How is she now?

I'll kill you!

It's good now.

It's fine now.

She stopped seeking death.

Because I told her,

as long as she serves me well,

her brother in prison

can live.

But

she is really sick recently.

She needs to take a large amount of

ginseng and lingzhi every day.

Ye Shi'an.

If you insist on not surrendering,

I can save the money intended for

treating your sister.

Bring me to her.

How is she?

The doctor said

Madam Yun is depressed

and has fallen ill.

If this continues,

I'm afraid her life will be in danger.

You may leave.

Yes.

Yun'er, I beg of you.

No matter what happens,

you must survive first.

Yuru.

Yuru.

Yuru!

Yuru!

Jiusi.

Yuru, you're awake.

Do you want some water?

Jiusi.

I just want you to

hug me like this.

I should have known

that you weren't eating much.

We've been walking for so many days.

The food should have been long gone.

But you were still able

to give me food.

I'm so stupid.

I should have noticed it earlier.

We didn't have enough food.

If we both ate,

no one can get to Youzhou.

If I ate less,

you could eat more.

I've calculated it.

I think I can

last another three to four days.

There's still half of the way

to Youzhou.

If...

If you don't have water to drink

while traversing the desert,

you can drink my blood instead.

When my blood is dry,

leave me alone.

Go by yourself.

It's faster

on your own.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I'm not spouting nonsense.

This is the best way.

It would be a shame

if we both

died on the road.

Liu Yuru, let me tell you.

I'd rather die

than do that.

Jiusi.

Don't be willful.

If you're dead,

I won't go to Youzhou.

I won't go anywhere.

I will die with you.

Liu Yuru.

Aren't you the best at doing business?

If I'm dead,

your previous efforts to save me in Yangzhou

would have been in vain.

It's a total loss business.

Even if I live,

I won't remember your kindness.

I will forget you and...

And I'll marry

several ladies

and live a carefree life.

Liu Yuru.

I don't deserve your sacrifice.

Besides...

Didn't you promise me

to be with me forever?

You can't go back on your words.

Understand?

Yuru.

Through this desert,

we'll reach the border of Youzhou,

Lu City.

Do you know?

Legend has it that

there is an orchid fairy

who can bloom flowers in winter.

Do you want to go see it?

Do you know

why it's called Lu City?

Rumour has it that

a female merchant

was in danger in the desert.

It was a white deer

that saved her.

From then on, it was called Lu (Deer) City.

Yuru.

You're also a female merchant.

You will have good luck too,

right?

Yuru? Yuru!

Yuru.

Yuru.

Water.

Water.

Open your mouth.

Yuru, open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Don't leave me here.

You are my life.

Don't abandon me.

♫In this world, only your hug♫

♫Could make forever feel like the blink of an eye♫

♫Trapped in this world♫

♫We are both isolated islands♫

♫Only you can rely on me♫

♫Love and hate are like birds♫

♫The promise paints a picture of the past♫

♫At the moment it drew, it did not know♫

♫Memories are fleeting, the years they flutter by♫

♫Let us accompany each other tonight♫

[Youzhou]

[Youzhou]

Yuru.

Yuru.

We're here.

We're in Youzhou.

[Youzhou]

Yuru? Yuru!

Jiusi.

Brother.

Thank goodness.

You're finally awake.

Why are you here?

Madam Gu

has been settled in Wangdu.

I knew something happened to your family.

I thought

you would cross the borders

and come straight to me.

So I've been waiting for you

past Lu City.

But I didn't expect

to find the two of you

in this state.

Jiusi! Yuru!

[Youzhou]

Brother.

Take a good rest.

After you're both rested,

I'll personally escort you back to Wangdu.

How is Yuru?

Don't worry.

I've asked the doctor

to check on Yuru.

The doctor said she was fine,

just that her vitality was weak.

She's resting in the east room right now.

Brother!

At least put on your shoes!
