Till The End of The Moon (长月烬明)

Ye Qingyu.

You're awake.

You were drunk last night.

Do you have a headache?

I was being impulsive after drinking last night.

Please don't take it to heart.

I can tell the difference.

That's good then.

Ye Qingyu, I…

You're here to ask me about the antidote, right?

You can be frank with me.

I can't stay here any longer.

Give me the antidote.

And I'll leave the capital by myself.

Why? Is it because of me?

I really don't know if I should feel honored

or unfortunate.

Ye Qingyu, it's impossible between us.

What do I have to do

for you to give me the antidote?

There is no antidote.

What?

His Majesty told me

that the pill he forced you to swallow

was just a regular tonic pill.

Tantai Jin!

So, you're free.

Tantai Jin said he gave the antidote to you.

I can never leave your side

as long as you use that excuse to keep me around.

Why did you tell me the truth?

You're a woman of your word.

And I enjoyed momentary pleasure with you.

I dare not expect God

to favor me again.

Pian Ran, encountering you was the most fortunate event

that had happened to me.

What if I feel like staying in the capital again?

It's okay. You can go wherever you want.

If you don't wish to see me,

I can write to His Majesty and leave the capital myself.

Ye Qingyu,

are you truly a fool? Or are you pretending to be one?

Forget it. I can't bother to explain it to you.

Anyway, I'm free now.

I can go wherever I want.

Now, I feel like staying in the capital again.

Pian Ran.

So,

we can spend time with each other again,

right?

I guess. It depends on your performance.

Xiwu,

have you two reconciled with each other?

There's nothing to reconcile about.

There are no overnight grudges between husband and wife.

Buttercup,

you must tell me if you feel troubled.

Don't hold it in and suffer alone.

I'm perfectly fine.

How can that be?

Tantai Jin is the emperor now.

And our family has fallen from grace.

You may inevitably be subjected

to humiliation in front of him.

What humiliation?

I made him sleep on the floor last night.

Xiwu,

you're excellent at taming your husband.

Speaking of which, Bingchang hasn't returned home yet

after she arrived in the capital.

Now, Bingchang is

the noble Madam Xuancheng.

Tantai Jin lets her live in the palace.

I think he's afraid that Xiao Lin may snatch her away.

It's always safer to hide in the palace.

When she's in the Palace of Jing,

Xiao Lin will have to hold back.

They won't ignore her.

Has Bingchang suffered any grievances then?

Don't worry, Grandma.

Tantai Jin isn't that kind of person.

If you're still worried,

I'll visit her after dinner

and ask her if she's willing to move back.

Good.

Come on, eat up.

That's the gist of it.

Bingchang, you must have suffered for the past few days.

I'll apologize to you on Tantai Jin's behalf.

There's no need to say that.

How could I make the emperor apologize to me?

I'm happy for you

that you two have reconciled with each other.

That's typical of Tantai Jin.

He's so capricious.

Just don't take it to heart.

If you can't get used to living in the palace,

I can speak with Tantai Jin

and tell him to let you leave.

You can go home and live with Grandma and Dad.

No need.

I mean, His Majesty must have his reasons

to let me stay in the palace.

Besides, I've already gotten used to it.

I shouldn't go home

and disturb Grandma and Dad.

But…

Xiwu, we are both married women.

How can we keep living in our parents' home?

It's good for you that

you can stay by His Majesty's side.

But me?

Prince Lin is still missing.

If I live at home,

I'll look like a divorced woman instead.

Our neighbors will criticize us.

It's better if I live in the palace.

All right.

But Grandma and Dad do miss you very much.

Please visit them when you're free.

All right. Thanks for your concern.

Then I'll head back first.

[it'll be difficult to see Tantai Jin again.]

[I didn't expect that he had no desires for me.]

Your Majesty.

You may speak over there.

I don't know what I have done wrong

to make you dislike me.

You have done nothing wrong. Once I capture Xiao Lin,

I'll let you two reunite.

Your Majesty, do you have to capture Prince Xuancheng?

Why did you think I allowed you

to stay here in the first place?

Your Majesty,

I have something to discuss with you.

The rations I borrowed two days ago

will run out in another two days.

We're out of medicine and bandages too.

What should we do?

Is there any nearby county which we haven't borrowed rations from?

There's none.

Try again then.

Your Highness, you're now a rebel.

We're all wanted criminals.

Forget about borrowing rations.

They have already done us one last favor

by not reporting us to the local authorities.

Junior Martial Uncle, what are our odds of winning

if we keep this up?

Well, you see…

We have no chance of winning, right?

There's nothing we can do about it.

Do you still remember you, me, and Qingyu

used to discuss state affairs in the capital?

Common folks always suffer

no matter how the state does.

It's always been like this.

I've engaged the people of Jing in battle on numerous occasions.

Although Jing Kingdom is our enemy,

their soldiers and people

are made of flesh and blood too.

Qingyu was right.

To common folks, war is detrimental no matter if it's won or lost.

Now, Tantai Jin fights for peace.

People want him to unite the world.

Maybe I should lead our remaining people southward

and leave this place.

How could you harbor such thoughts?

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

The spy we planted in the Capital of Jing

sent us a secret letter.

It's for you.

It's Bingchang's handwriting.

No wonder Tantai Jin allowed her to write to you.

The content of the letter praises his benevolence.

Looks like Tantai Jin

is still bent on making you surrender.

Something's not right.

What do you mean?

Court dismissed.

General Ye.

Your Majesty.

Disaster relief involves many aspects.

You're from Sheng Kingdom.

I feel most reassured to let you

help the refugees to settle down.

I shall not fail you, Your Majesty.

Now, the world is united.
