Stop!
Younger sister!
Xiaofeng!
Gao Xian is already dead!
This biggest traitor of Central Plains
has already received the end that he deserved!
Fighters of Central Plains,
I know that you were brought here by Gao Xian to join this war.
Your original intent surely is not to fight against Central Plains to the end,
because you are also from the Central Plains.
But because of Gao Xian's own selfish intent,
he dragged all of you to be sacrificed,
to fight against your comrades. Are you all really willing to resign to such a fate?!
What are you doing, Younger Sister?!
Do not come over!
Xiaofeng, don't act recklessly!
Do not move!
If you dare to move,
I will go join A'Du right now.
Elder Brother, please stop the battle!
Do you still not understand?
All of this was a set up by Gao Xian.
It is all his evil scheme.
Because of his greed,
tens of thousands of lives from Xi State must be lost.
Is that worth it?
Think of Danchi...
When Danchi was annihilated, people were plunged into the abyss of misery.
Only a few bloodlines are now left behind.
Do you want Xi State to follow that same path?!
Why?
Why can't prosperity and happiness be passed down instead?
Why can't allegiance be used to exchange for peace?
Elder Brother, you think that everything that royal father
did for Xi State
was all acts that diminished our state's dignity?
That is not the case!
Being born as a king,
you should not live for the sake of venting out a moment of anger.
It's to endure for the sake of your people's future.
All the pain of compromising...
One must endure all the pain of compromising
in exchange for our people's happiness!
That is the dignity
that a true king of Xi State should have!
Gu Xiaowu!
Do you now remember that I called you this way?
The only person who I once deeply loved
was not someone else.
It was you, Li Chengyin.
You lied to me, betrayed me,
killed my beloved family.
I still cannot convince myself to kill you!
I once told myself numerous times
that I should hate you. I should hate you!
But I still cannot do that even now!
Now, all of that is in the past.
I only want to live and die for the people of Xi State.
If you still understand me,
still want to compensate me,
please stop the battle!
As Ninth Princess of Xi State,
I married into the Li Empire.
I did it for the continued peace between Xi State and Li Empire.
Today, if you still must cross swords on the battleground,
then I've failed in my duty to father.
I've failed Consort Mingyuan.
I also failed the grand empress dowager.
Most importantly, I failed tens of thousands of people of Xi State!
If today...
you really must start this battle,
regardless of which side I stand with,
it is betrayal.
Therefore, if my life
can wake Elder Brother and Crown Prince up to the truth,
can bring back true peace and happiness to Xi State,
then I will not have any more regrets.
- Xiaofeng! - Younger Sister!
- Don't be reckless!- No!
Gu Xiaowu.
It's not that I can't release you.
But since you saved my life, you should repay me.
If you promise me three things, I will let you go.
You once promised to do three things for me. Do you still remember?
I remember!
The first thing, I want you to catch one hundred fireflies for me!
How difficult is that? Wait for me.
You still owe me two things. I want you to definitely do them.
Okay! Tell me!
The first thing...
is that for the rest of your life,
the armored cavalry of Central Plains will never enter Xi State again, not even half a step!
Okay!
I promise you! Put the sword down!
If you die,
I will not live by myself!
Release your hand! Let go! You will be dragged in by me!
I will not!
We came here together so we will leave together!
Xiaofeng!
I will forget with you.
The last thing,
promise me...
that you will live well.
What type of attitude is that? I am your savior!
Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng!
- Xiaofeng! - Little Sister!
Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng!
Little Sister...
Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng!
Can you be reasonable? You cannot even swim! You will drown!
Even if I drown, I do not want to be kissed by you!
I do not want to kiss a woman whose heart belongs to another!
I beg you, do not leave me.
I beg of you!
My grandfather indeed dislikes the people of the Central Plains,
but he will soon like you like how I do.
- You have not even married. - Drink no more!
Why are you covering up for him already? Even trying to control her man.
Xiaofeng, will you go anywhere as long as it is with me?
I will go with you. In the future, I will go wherever you go.
Gu Xiaowu...
She is my wife.
No one can take her away!
I cannot marry Li Chengyin.
I hate him. I hate him!
But she cannot hate.
She must let go. Only by letting go
can she get something more important in return.
After everything has ended, he will surely compensate her well.
It's just that I don't know if that friend will wait for him when that time comes.
Turns out...
that fox...
was not able to wait...
...for her girl.
Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng!
Xiaofeng!
Li Chengyin, I forgive you.
I forgive all our happiness,
debts, wild hopes, and despair.
Your Imperial Highness!
- Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng! - Your Imperial Highness!
- Xiaofeng! - Your Imperial Highness.
- Xiaofeng! - Your Imperial Highness!
- No! - Your Imperial Highness!
