Untouchable Lovers (凤囚凰)

Untouchable Lovers

Episode 51

Xiao Daocheng! Why did you really come here?

Do you really believe that he attacked Wei because you suffered unfair treatment?

Do you really also believe that you were married off to Wei before to maintain peace between Song and Wei?

I admit that Wei agreed to the Wei-Song marriage alliance as just a strategy of convenience.

But how is Liu Song any different!

On one side, marrying you off to me. But on the other, expanding their army and preparing for war.

Chuyu, open your eyes and look clearly.

The person beside Xiao Daocheng is that Sima Jun who previously framed you.

He personally handed the letter to Huo Xuan, because he wanted to use her hand

to kill you, and then incite the war between Wei and Song!

Absurd! I don't believe it.

You have always lied to me. I don't believe you!

Whether it's absurd or not, you ask him yourself.

Xiao Daocheng, let me ask you!

You have always treated me as a pawn, am I right?

Answer me!

Is the attack of Song this time a plot that have started since the time of the marriage alliance?

General Xiao, since the matter has come to this,

let's stop being hypocritical. Let's just settle the real score on the battlefield.

Prince Regent, immediately open the gates!

Or else, our Song army

will charge through your city gates, and kill all your citizens!

Royal Uncle, where is Tian Rujing?

He went to Yunjin Mountain to pray to the deities in seclusion.

Even if he is around, he will also agree to this marriage alliance.

Chuyu, I clearly know in my heart

that Wei has wild ambitions.

That this marriage alliance won't be able to ensure enternal peace.

But sacrificing you can give the citizens a peaceful and happy life.

Allow us to recuperate, and prepare for the next battle. Even if I can't bear to part with you,

I can only choose to do so.

Okay. I agree with your request.

General Xiao, are you sure that with just these people,

you can already conquer Wei?

I know that the army in your Pingcheng

are elite soldiers that you yourself trained.

But that's fine.

Today, I brought an ally!

Ally?

Huo Chao? Are you crazy!

You actually dare to help the Liu Song Army? That's mutiny!

Mutiny?

Didn't your Emperor already say that our main commander is a rebel?

We are doing this just to get back our dignity!

What are you planning to do?

The misfortunes of the Huo family were all created by the Imperial Family.

The mastermind behind it is Your Highness the Prince Regent!

If you kill yourself in front of everyone,

I will immediately withdraw my army!

Or else, I will conquer your city

with the Liu Song people, and will be able to kill you too!

- Preposterous! - Since Your Highness the Prince Regent

can't bear to lose your head, don't blame us from using violence then!

You are bullying people intolerably.

Your Highness, please allow me to go out the city and cut off Huo Chao's head.

No. The Huo army is Huo Xuan's. No one is allowed to touch them.

But General Huo isn't here.

She will come.

Attack!

Attack the city!

Stop!

- Xuan'er! - Huo Xuan!

Xuan'er! Xuan'er!

Xuan'er, are you alright?

Get up.

Are you alright?

Have you all forgotten what I've said?

The Huo Army's main duty is to defend the country and protect its citizens.

Yet you actually allied with the Song people to attack our city?

I'm doing this

just to seek justice for you.

Have you forgotten that there was first Rong Zhi

who disregarded his promise, and then a Tuoba Hong after who broke faith and abandoned the right?

Not only that,

you willingly handed over your military power, yet they still didn't believe you.

They even asked Peng Ge to kill you, to forever eliminate a potential problem.

For an Imperial clan and government like that,

why must you still throw your life in for them?

Xuan'er, what Old General Huo said is right.

You shouldn't risk your life for them anymore.

The thing that I loyally serve has never been Great Wei's Imperial clan,

but the Wei citizens who doesn't even have an inch of steel with them,

my own conscience and duty.

I like watching the adorable smiling face of children.

I like seeing the citizens living in peace and bliss.

I am working hard for everything that I like.

Even if the people who I once protected

and trusted betrayed me,

it will never be able to change my initial intention,

because I never bathed in blood and fought valiantly just to get gratitude.

Moreover, I am also not stupid.

I will never become a pawn of the enemy!

Pawn?

What do you mean?

Xuan'er!

Gu Huan, are you still going to lie to me until now?

Xuan'er, I don't know what you're saying.

You don't know?

Why did Peng Ge suddenly grow wild?

His symptoms was very similar to the Liu Song envoy that became crazy, and killed people.

When I got hurt, you were the first one to rush there,

and had Peng Ge killed.

Afterwards, you instigated the Huo Army to rebel.

All of these were pre-planned by you!

Who really are you?

If you were sincere to me by even a bit,

please tell me who you are.

I was ordered by the Prince Regent to kill the rebels, and lead the army to save His Majesty.

Impossible!

The Prince Regent is far away, on the border. He doesn't know anything. How could he...

What are you laughing about? Are you crazy?

Your choice is right.

Rong Zhi is the most perfect Prince Regent. Cold. Ruthless.

But it is very obvious

that he also placed his man in your Longlin Army.

He is indeed the Prince Regent.

I thought he already lost his composure.

Never thought that he still has a backup plan.

Men! Take her away!

Tuoba Hong, I can't accept this! I can't!

Tuoba Hong!

Tuoba Yun, you want to kill me, yet you also saved me. Aren't you conflicted by your actions?

How can the Emperor of my Great Wei

be stupid enough to die in the hands of a woman?

What a pity I can't personally kill you.

Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to duel with me.

Libation

So what if you've defeated me?

Sitting on that Imperial throne that's drenched with blood is like sitting on a pillow of needles.

Every person that you killed will become your nightmare.

Sitting on that cold chair will never give you any peaceful days.

One day...

you will understand...

All of this...

has ended.

It was you who informed Huo Xuan.

Yes.

You knew that Song will be attacking the city.

That's why you rushed all the way here, not for me.

It was to gather the army, and set up the city defense.

I did it for Great Wei, and also you.

Me... Huo Xuan... Tuoba Hong...

All the court ministers and Pingcheng, all the citizens,

got fooled by you.

For the past days, you pretended to be a Prince Regent that's lovesick.

You let everyone lower their guard, but what is your real motive?

It is to capture them all with just one net?

Rong Zhi...you are the one who has planned everything carefully without missing anything.

When you left Pingcheng, my heart burned with anxiety.

No matter if you believe it or not, I'm telling the truth.

Stop lying to me!

Have you not lied enough?

The person who fooled us is someone else.

Huo Xuan, the Tianji Pavilion has been destroyed by me. The true identity of Gu Huan

is the real Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion. Immediately rush to Pingcheng. Rong Zhi.

Gu Huan, you are the real Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion.

That person who died in the Liu Song military camp

was just a substitute, right?

That's right.

I am the Tianji Pavilion's true Pavilion Master.

You Liu Song criminal, you dared to use us?

- Men! Capture him! - Yes!

All of you, don't move!

Stop!

If you dare hurt Huo Xuan, I'll let you die without a full corpse!

Why must you do this?

Marriage alliance?

That's right. Use Liu Chuyu's body in exchange for an opportunity to obtain Wei.

In the future, after conquering Pingcheng to wash off the embarrassment we experienced in Jizhou,

the main power in the government will soon be in your hands.

But Liu Chuyu—

Indecision will

invariable lead to trouble. If you're too kind like a woman,

how can you do great things?

The Liu Clan was too tyrannical, and their fate to be in power has ended.

The Tianji Pavilion worked painstakingly to plan things just to choose a new wise leader

that can go against Northern Wei, and placate the citizens.

Lord Xiao, once you've obtained and replaced the Liu clan,

don't forget your past promise.

Xuan'er...

sorry.

The Northern Wei's power is vast.

They have long developed the desire to conquer the world.

I'm doing this just to impede the Wei army,

to help the world choose a wise king.

You're lying.

The citizens of the world?

Gu Huan, look around. Your righteous-sounding reason of saving the citizens

has caused how many deaths?

What the Tianji Pavilion wants

is the scalding hot position of being the right hand man of the Emperor, the glory of being above everyone else?

The only things that your actions have brought Wei and Song are fresh blood and massacre.

Gu Huan!

Don't you still know to repent on your misdeeds?

Tell me then.

Could it be that in your heart...

even I was just a pawn?

No.
