Drama Watching Experience

I have watched dramas for a long time. My understanding of all Asian dramas is immense. I particularly love the 1990s Hong Kong dramas, some Korean dramas, and certain mainland dramas that are not too Final Fantasy like. Things that have too much graphics are a bit too much for me.

    Princess Agents Episode 67 English Translated 楚乔传 先行版


    2:12
    Outside, Chu Qiao tells him to not worry about her when they are on the battlefield. She will not kill him but will use all her energy to defeat him. He says he cannot do the same and walks off. Yuang Song wonders what's going on with the Prince # 7 army and go to meet them.

    5:34
    Cheng Yuan tells Yanxun that Chu Qiao met with Yuwen Yue. He receives a report that Prince # 7 army is coming. Cheng Yuan advises Yanxun that they should take advantage of Yuwen Yue location in Yanbei. His forces at Meilin Mountain pass is strong, and with the oncoming Prince # 7 army, it will be threatening. They should take this opportunity and kill Yuwen Yue to save hundreds/thousands of Yanbei soldiers. Yanxun orders to have his best men group together and kill Yuwen Yuen.

    7:46
    Yuan Song greets his brother, Prince # 7 at the hills and ask why did he bring an army. He says he received messages that Yanxun refused to have peace. Yuan Song uses his death to block his brother and kneels down to ask him to retreat.

    12:47
    Yanxun waits to ambush Yuwen Yue in the forest.

    14:24
    Soldiers are saying that Yuwen Yue knows the geography and disappeared quickly with few of his men. Yanxun is out after him. Cheng Yuan tells his soldiers to quickly go to Xiu Li mountain and arrest them especially Chu Qiao for charges on communicating with the enemy. He wants to let Yanxun know that Chu Qiao's heart is not on Yanxun, so Yanxun can stop caring about her and just go destroy Da Wei.

    15:39
    He Xiao the Xiu Li Commander died, and Xiu Li soldier was sent to inform Yuwen Yue that the area is filled with Black Hawk army. He should leave quickly. Yuwen Yue's men question the truth of the soldier's words and ask how did He Xiao died. He said can't say anything. His commander received order to kill Yuwen Yue and refused. Currently she's in black hawk army fighting because it was found out that Chu Qiao met up with Yuwen Yue. Soldier kills himself and Yuwen Yue ponders about what to do. Yue Qi suspects that someone wants to use Yanxun to get rid of Yuwen Yue. His subordinates says not to believe the soldier. Yuwen Yue goes to check on Chu Qiao.

    19:26
    Soldier is here to arrest Chu Qiao for questioning and thinks it is suspicious as there was no decree for her questioning. She brings a few men to head towards Hong Chuan.

    19:46
    Yuan Song doesn't want Yanxun and Da Wei to fight because everyone will suffer and Da Liang will benefit.

    21:12
    Chu Qiao halts her journey and stops to think about what is going on. She says Yanxun is crazy as his target is not her but Yuwen Yue. He Xiao is to bring the men to Meilin Mountain Pass and she will meet them there. She goes off to another direction

    22:30
    Chu Qiao ask Yanxun where is Yuwen Yue. He says I have killed him with an arrow. A Da Wei's general snuck into his territory, and it's only reasonable for him to kill him. Yanxun feels that Yanbei and him is not comparable to Yuwen Yue in Chu Qiao's heart. Chu Qiao says she doesn't blame him for killing Yuwen Yue. However, the methods Yanxun uses are too cruel. He can just properly kill him on the battlefield and shouldn't use his love for her to kill him.

    He says he's the king of Yanbei and there's a lot of things he must do it that way. This was all for her. Chu Qiao says "Killing my comrads and my soldiers, forcing me to give up my beliefs, assigning me away from the army headquarters, suspecting me, manipulating me, not trusting me, monitoring me... all of these are for me?"

    He ask her did she ever love him. She says she doesn't know if it equates to love. She just knows she cares about him and what he thinks. She cannot allow others to hurt him, and his family and homeland became her family and homeland. She dreamed of helping him return home. All these years, he was the most important person to her and her family.

    Ever since he returned to Yanbei, he suspected everyone including Zhong Yu, Mr. Wu, and Chu Qiao. She doesn't blame him for killing Yuwen Yue; but she just thinks his methods are too cruel. He shouldn't have stepped on the relationship between them. So She will grant his wish, and go find Yuwen Yue. If he dies in Yanbei, she will never forgive him

    27:28
    Yuwen Yue is alone fighting on the frozen lake. Yuan Cheng kills Yue Qi (oh man, I don't want this to happen) Chu Qiao starts fighting with Cheng Yuan and kills him.

    34:38
    Yanxun shots an arrow through Yuwen Yue's heart.Chu Qiao holds onto him saying "I have come to save you. Sorry. I will no longer leave your side." She tries to lift him up and he's unable to get up. (this part was sad). She kisses his forehead

    (credits to colonyofcells del machina)
    Translation of last sentences of preview : 
    Xing Er : dui buqi (sorry). wo (I) zai ye (any more) bu yao (do not want) likai (to leave) ni (you) le (for sure).  Wo (I) yao (want) ni (you) he (and) wo (I) yi-qi (together) huoxia qu (to go on living).

    38:04
    Yanxun is pissed off and sends more men onto the ice. Chu Qiao goes to finish killing them. (There's a weird scene here, scroll down to Thoughts section) Yanxun's army flips the ice Yuwen Yue was laying on and Chu Qiao jumps in to save him. Yuwen Yue pushes Chu Qiao away and her Feng Yun Ling activates in the cold.

    Thoughts

    I'll be off watching Lost Love in Times next.

    Did anyone saw the odd scene at 39:09 - 39:12. It first starts off with Chu Qiao speaking to Yuwen Yue who was injured. Then it flashes a scene of the soldiers surrounding Yuwen Yue who was laying on the ice alone. Then it goes back to Chu Qiao talking to Yuwen Yue.

    3:00
    Peasant Chun Er visits her brother Yuan Song who is enjoying his simple life away from the political schemes, and he ask how Chun Er is feeling. She wants to focus on the present and needs to end some things. Her brother mistakenly thought she had let go and is glad Wei Shu Ye's sacrifice has some value. He cooks for her and comes out to find Chun Er gone. On the sand, she wrote "Brother and sister relaionship, let's continue next life"

    12:07
    A female medic comes to diagnose Yanxun's sickness and tells him that he needs good rest as he is overworked. She offers to give him acupuncture, and he accepts it. During the massage, they talk about her background, and she lies, but her Chang An accent was noticed by Yanxun. She explains that she use to live in Chang An when she was young. A maid discovers Chun Er attempting to kill Yanxun. Yanxun sees that it is Chun Er and allowed her to leave. He says "I'm sorry. Please take care of yourself from now on." (she seems that she can let go with the apology).

    20:42
    Dong Feng Ji points out to Prince # 7 the letter is fake. Prince feels that the letter looks perfectly fine, and Dong Feng Ji explains that the content is fake making it a fake letter. Dong Feng Ji has his own spies in Yanbei and have not heard about the urgent situation in the letter. Prince # 7 says that it might be his spies are not as capable. Dong Feng Ji says they are not incapable to the point where such big situation will go unnoticed. However, you shouldn't stop the war with Yanxun. If you give him several years to recuperate, the situation might be less in control later on.

    24:31
    Prince # 7 leads an army to start marching out. At Yuwen Yue's side, they talk about how Yanxun found some of his men. Particularly Yue 9 is in trouble. His family has been slaughtered and now he's on hiding with his 2 daughters. Yuwen Yue will personally go to save them because he sent his family there and they have all died on his behalf. Meng Feng is stay behind and protect Yuan Song. Yue 7 follows Yuwen Yue out.

    27:00
    Chu Qiao finds Yuwen Yue's location, and Yuwen Yue sends his guards to start leaving with the 2 children. They talk about both their current situation. Yuwen Yue is in charge of defending Meilin Mountain Pass, Yanbei's political division, and Prince # 7 army march makes the war settlement a joke.

    34:37
    Yuwen Yue mentions that he heard Yanxun bought a lot of wedding gifts. He wonders if the next time he sees her, would he have to greet her as Yan Wang Fei (Yan King's Concubine). She says next time he'll probably have wife and children. He switch topic about Cheng Yuan, saying he's conniving. She's not on par with his scheme. Yanbei is not suited for Chu Qiao. She admits she's too dumb and created the situation today. Just before his departure, he says she will soon no longer be his. Outside, Chu Qiao tells him to not worry about her when they are on the battlefield. She will not kill him but will use all her energy to defeat him. He says he cannot do the same.

    2:00
    Zhong Yu is there to forbid farewell to Chu Qiao. She couldn't speak for Xiu Li army as Yanxun's determination to kill is too strong. If she speaks up, people around her will be affected. Zhong Yu is to protect Mr. Wu to go to Lan City. The soldiers use to be people she know, but they have all died and replaced with strange faces. Maybe it's time for Zhong Yu to go. Chu Qiao even if she leaves will not be against Yanbei. Scene ends with Chu Qiao saying "Yu Lady, what if we leave together?"

    6:15
    Chu Qiao finally meets with Wu Dao Ya (Mr. Wu) and ask for her past. She tells him what she remembers. When she was young, her mother taught her martial arts but disappear quite frequently for several months at the same time and doesn't know what she does. On her last meeting, her mother tells her that she doesn't know if she can return. So she passed her internal powers of ice into her and had her live with Zheng family. One day, she hears her mother is captured and she goes to her rescue but was only ambushed. A mysterious girl appeared and saved her.

    9:54
    Mr. Wu fills her in on the missing information. The mysterious girl is Xia Chong, a Wang Sheng Group assassin. Luo He is the leader of Jiang Hu holding the Feng Yu command, and Chu Qiao, you are the next successor. Yuwen Hao caused Luo He's death; however, the actual culprit are the traitors on Luo He's side. (Yuwen Hao is the son of Yuwen Xi, the perverted old man). They killed her because they believe she was a great evil monster. Feng Yun Ling is a flower engraving that appears after you have mastered the internal powers of ice. The mother had only given her 80% of the powers. He suspects that it's either her memory lost or that she needs to be in a cold icey place to activate her powers.

    12:07
    Mr. Wu sent Snake Girl and San Jie Wu Zong to save Luo He, but was already too late, but was able to save Chu Qiao, who was heavily injured. You guys encountered Yuwen Hao, who was the leader of Diezhi Tian Yan. (Battles with Snake Girl and Monk) Snake Girl used her life to save the daughter because Luo He saved her in the past. Ultimately, she was greatly injured and fell off.

    17:21
    Chu Qiao killed Yuwen Hao and fell into the river. Unexpectedly, you entered into Yuwen household as a slave. Even more unexpectedly, you killed Yuwen Xi and his sons and thus avenging your mother's death. You followed Yanxu to Yanbei, which is the place where your mother defended with her life. Now that you know the truth, I understand that it's a dilemma betweenn Yuwen Yue and Yanxun. Whether you go or stay, it is up to you.

    18:30
    Chu Qiao wants Mr. Wu to help stabilized Yanbei; however Mr Wu says he is no longer the appropriate person to do so. He ask if she will come with him to Lan (Blue) city as she suppose to assume the responsibilities of Luo He. Chu Qiao says she has forgotten most of her past and she cannot leave now. She has to stay and help control Yanxun's hatred and ambition for revenge.

    19:10
    Da Liang Princess Xiao Yu is wandering by herself and her subordinates found her. Da Liang princess tells her trusted subordinates who Yuwen Yue is. She must kill him and is not able to. Her subordinate console her and tells her that she is always different from other princesses. She puts the nation before her and is greatly respected. She should not let Yuwen Yue stop her from her path.


    26:10
    Yuwen Yue's messenger is killed by Da Liang Princess's men. The letter is to Prince # 7 to tell him that everything at the border is okay. Princess sees from the letter that they Da Wei wants to peacefully settle with Yanxun. She will interfere and write a letter to avoid the settlement.

    30:30
    Yuwen Yue receives a birdie note (we all know it should be the Da Liang princess asking to meet with him). She says a phrase within Yuwen Yue's letters, and he ask her who she is. She says she is Xiao Yu (Little Gem). Turns out they were pen pals, and the princess thinks this is ridiculous (I agree). Yuwen Yue thinks their relationship is unfortunate and will destroy the messages between them. (lol I just died at how the princess pulled out the sword and Yuwen Yue pretending to be poisoned) Da Liang Princess had poisonous gas in the forest. She must kill him in order for her to be herself again. She doesn't kill kim and Yuwen Yue stops pretending and gets up to ask why she didn't kill him.

    36:20
    Da Liang Princess says why can't they be on the same path and walk. She tells him that Chu Qiao is Luo He's daughter, who is the biggest enemy of Yuwen Yue. Why is it that Yuwen Yue willing to do it for Chu Qiao. He says there some things that doesn't need to be said. He hopes he will never see her again (aka, he doesn't want to kill her because she is the enemy, so it's better that he will never encounter her ever again).

    40:41
    Princess Chun Er meets with her brother Yuan Song. Yuan Song says that she should have never attempted to kill her father as this is not a good virtue and against heaven's will.

    Thoughts

    The battle between Yuwen Hao and Snake Girl + the monk was the best so far. I felt like the scene where the princess was crying was a good scene but over-reacted. It didn't fit in with Princess Da Liang character.

    At 34:12, the princess pulls out a sword to threaten Yuwen Yue. LOL, this scene is hilarious. The sound effect is of a sword being pulled out of its metal holder, and she pulls the sword out from her dress that has no pockets.

    Princess is punished with poison wine again and someone is sent to kill the princess. Wei Shu Ye dies while trying to save the princess. The Prince tells his soldiers that Princess Chun Er and Wei Shu Ye have died while the Princess is still alive. He saves her life and leaves.

    12:10
    Yanxun crafts a white jade tassel for Chu Qiao, and ask where she is. Ah Jing does not know and thinks her anger this time will take a bit longer to subside.

    13:53
    Chu Qiao ask the army where is Xiu Li army and (cutely walk/hops up lol) to threaten the commander. He says they were sent out to battle. Turns out this was to set a trap for Chu Qiao and have her chase after Xiu Li army. Cheng Yuan's subordinate worries this might anger Yanxun. Cheng Yuan wants to get rid of Chu Qiao because her heart is not with Yanbei and they need to rid of all blockades that slows down their progression in taking revenge for Yanbei.

    16:59
    Chu Qiao meets up with Xiu Li army and states she was afraid they will be ambushed by an army. Yuwen Yue arrives and tells Chu Qiao he has been lured here, and it is Cheng Yuan who wants Chu Qiao dead. (Their meet up will look like treason to Yanxun.) Chu Qiao explains that she was just looking to survive and wanted to see the freedom Yanxun spoke of. She overlooked her abilities in saving masses, and instead caused the deaths of others. If she had followed Yanxun's will to kick out Xiu Li army, then the soldiers could have lived. She had made many decisions and some are right and some are wrong; however, she has never regretted but is a bit tired now. Yuwen Yue says since you selected this path, you should go to the very end. He didn't force her to be next to him and rather see her live happy. She cries saying that he is the only one whose debt she can never return.

    26:26
    Zhong Yu is there to forbid farewell to Chu Qiao. She couldn't speak for Xiu Li army as Yanxun's determination to kill is too strong. If she speaks up, people around her will be affected. Zhong Yu is to protect Mr. Wu to go to Lan City. The soldiers use to be people she know, but they have all died and replaced with strange faces. Maybe it's time for Zhong Yu to go. Chu Qiao even if she leaves will not be against Yanbei. Scene ends with Chu Qiao saying "Yu Lady, what if we leave together?"


    Line By Line as it appears starting at 19:35


    Is it Cheng Yuan?
    Yanxun,he... is turning a blind eye?
    the hatred in Yanxun's heart...
    I am afraid when compared to the ice in this lake
    will be even harder to melt
    Yuwen Yue
    In the beginning
    I only wanted to escape
    and be able to live
    Then, I met Yanxun
    and listened to him talk about Yanbei
    I felt that my heart
    little by little became alive
    I thought
    My existence has value
    perhaps
    it must be heaven's will
    But
    My desires were still shattered
    Because I was too arrogant
    I thought my abilities were vast
    and can change many things
    can protect many people
    only until the end
    that I discovered
    My strength as 1 person
    is too small
    My friends, my family
    have all left me
    No only was I incapable of protecting them
    I
    instead caused many to die
    I am not a good leader
    Xiu Li army doesn't have faith
    Their faith is their trust in me
    But my existence
    actually every time let them
    enter into war and danger
    let them bleed and die
    and all that I have promised
    and having a good life
    actually have not happened
    I just saved them one time
    I shouldn't have been selfish
    and have them replace me in charging through the enemy lines
    if
    I'm just saying if
    During that time, I had just yield to Yanxun
    and kicked Xiu Li army out of Yanbei
    then, many people within them
    maybe would not have died

    23:15
    and be able to survive
    are you regretting?
    Most of the things I am tied up with
    the difficult journey
    the many things I did
    the many paths I walked on
    some are right and some are wrong
    but
    I have never regretted before
    Because I can see my heart clearly
    I am just
    just a bit tired

    24:13
    if you are tired
    then stop
    and take a good rest
    that way you can have energy
    to continue going forward
    any things
    cannot be done in one kick
    even if Cheng Yuan did not exist
    there will be someone else
    you thought Yanbei
    was what kind of place?
    everyone is brave, everyone is righteous
    everyone raised their head and looked at this place
    waiting for you to return and lead
    where there is people
    then there are disputes
    people who accomplishes great things
    all came from schemes and traps
    and walked through an ocean of dead body to come here
    since you have selected this road
    no matter what happens
    you have to finish walking to the end

    25:26
    why do you tell me this
    didn't you wish that I do not
    return to Yanbei?
    compared to making you stay by my side
    I hope even more
    that you can follow according to your desires
    and live
    live in happiness

    26:00
    Yuwen Yue
    I usually never owe anyone anything
    except you.
    My debt is too much
    that I can never return
    if you want to cry
    then cry with your heart's content
    after you finish crying, strengthen yourself together

    28:33
    Ah Chu, it's me
    come in
    ah Chu
    I'm here to bid farewell
    (they go up to the city gates)
    ah Chu
    do you still blame me that day
    for not coming out
    to help you save Xiu Li army?
    you have to know
    that day, dianxia's intent to kill is definite
    If I act out, not only will it not stop him
    it will also drag in
    the people I want to protect
    So I cannot help manage
    Right now, I will be going to Lan City
    and then escort Mr. Wu on his departure from Yanbei
    Mr. Wu?
    The Mr Wu you speak about
    is it Wu Dao Yao?
    Yes
    Cheng Yuan's people went to Lan Cheng to collect grain taxes
    Lan Cheng had a huge flood this year
    Mr Wu lead the local
    citizens
    and them had a conflict
    As a result, he was imprisoned by dian xia
    Mr. Wu is Yanbei Land's soul
    If he dies
    then shizi
    will have breathe coldness into all of Yanbei old officials'
    hearts
    that's why, I cannot help you
    ah Chu
    sorry
    you have things you are unable to help with
    I understand

    30:35
    Dianxia was a
    simple and innocent person
    but after Jiu You stage events
    I am afraid many of his thinkings
    have changed
    realities never go
    according to our desires peacefully
    I am worried
    that if it continue like this
    it will get farther from the original idea
    farther and farther
    humans can change
    Ah Chu, did you know
    when I look at the soldiers walking
    I discovered their faces
    are not the ones I am familiar with
    those people
    I suddenly grew aware
    the people I am familiar with
    some have already died in battle
    some have already left Yanbei
    Perhaps,
    this is also the time I should leave as well
    I understand what you are feeling
    Actually I am the same with you
    I have witnessed in the past
    his hatred and pain
    personally saw him undergo
    humiliation
    all of these, bystanders
    can never be able to feel and understand
    everyone has the ability
    to choose the road they want to walk.
    This is his choice
    even though I cannot agree
    but
    I respect his decision.
    Who can say everything he or she does
    is all correct?
    Who can say that it was all a mistake?
    We all
    have our bottom line and faith.
    We cannot be on the same walk
    but
    it doesn't mean that I will go on the route of enemies.
    In this fate
    and on this moving earth,
    besides the freedom I am chasing
    and love,
    the only thing that is worthy of my life
    to go protect
    is my faith.
    And my faith
    has been left on Yanbei's
    highlands.
    Yu lady
    how about we leave together?

    Xiu Li army is sent to Xiu Li Mountain. Xiu Li army commander questions the validity and Cheng Yuan says offensively that it is Yanxun's order. He doesn't allow them to wait for Chu Qiao and to have him depart immediately. Xiu Li army is to be absorbed into another army. From this moment on, Xiu Li army does not exist. Cheng Yuan sends someone to destroy their flag.

    14:44

    17:29
    Cheng Yuan reports to Yanxun that Xiu Li army only listens to Chu Qiao and not Yanxun. As a result, they fought and Cheng Yuan arrested them. Yanxun punishes them with death.

    18:25
    Chu Qiao receives notice that Xiu Li army is in danger. Cheng Yuan says that the army fought against Yanxun's army for a wrecked flag. Yanxun punishes everyone who fought with military rules. He Xiao, Xiu Li commander, says he will take the punishment for all but Yanxun recognizes his efforts and says he's okay. He ask why does Yanxun not trust in Xiu Li army? He Xiao is not convinced of their reasoning. Yanxun tells him to not get involved. His order must be obeyed and no other opinions are allowed. They disobeyed and should be punished. Anyone who disagrees will be punished as well.

    23:00

    Thoughts

    The drama is coming to an end, and based on all the events this far, the drama is mediocre/slightly above average.

    The dramas is very popular because I think Zhao Li Ying's performance is solid (definitely way better than Angelababy - I couldn't even sit through 10 episodes of General and I). I liked her the best in Rookie Agent Rouge. However, I do feel that her effort in performance for this show is not as good as her prior work. She seems to be over exhausted.

    I am personally not fond of the acting performance by a lot of the main characters. The acting performances that I came to like are Xiu Li army commander (I keep forgetting his name. Someone remind me), Chu Qiao, Princess Chun Er (She has her ups and downs but has potential and it seems she put effort into the drama), Yuwen Yue's grandfather, Zuo Bao Chuang (the old man with the guinea pigs), Zhong Yu, and ah Jing. I think I left one or two people out as I can't remember at the moment.

    Culture - Poetry

    Author : 鮑令暉 (Bao LingHui) 11:47 - The poetry the child said

    客从远方来,赠我漆鸣琴。 (ke cong yuanfang lai, zeng wo qi ming qin)
    木有相思文,弦有别离音。 (mu you xiangsi wen, xian you bie li yin)
    终身执此调,岁寒不改心。 (zhongshen zhe ci diao, sui han bu gai xin)
    愿作阳春曲,宫商长相寻。 (yuan zuo yangchun qu, gong xiang chang xiang xun)

    客从远方来,赠我漆鸣琴。 (ke cong yuanfang lai, zeng wo qi ming qin)
    guest/visitor from far away, gifted me a painted piano (guqin - long zither / piano that resembles a guitar but you pluck it)

    木有相思文,弦有别离音。 (mu you xiangsi wen, xian you bie li yin)
    The wood has words of yearning, the strings have the sounds of departure

    终身执此调,岁寒不改心 (zhongshen zhe ci diao, sui han bu gai xin)
    It will forever have this tone, many years of winter will not change its heart

    愿作阳春曲,宫商长相寻。 (yuan zuo yangchun qu, gong xiang chang xiang xun)
    I willingly compose a song about spring, and I look for the right notes.

    The poetry comes from the perspective of a man meeting a visitor from far away. He used the word guest which implies the visitor is at his place. The visitor gifts him a Chinese piano and it triggers feelings that means a lot to the man. This usually implies that this piano was from his hometown that is why it means so much and can trigger memories/feelings. He then sits down and compose a song and look for the right notes.

    gifted me a painted piano (that can make sounds like chirping birds)
    the wood has the words of yearning
    the strings have the sounds of departure
    forever, it will have this tone
    many winter pass and it will still not change
    I willingly compose a song about spring, and search for the right notes
    Du Ping An
    You come here
    Da Ren (Big Person - usually refers to powerful important people - gov't officials)
    how do you know this poem
    when I was young, my mother taught me
    Then, I believe your mom
    should also be
    an educated person
    my mom is Da Liang's musician
    She can sing good songs
    Da Liang's musician ?
    then why would you travel such great distance
    to come to Yanbei ?
    because Yanbei doesn't have slaves
    Mom and dad came here
    and escaped slavery
    and settled comfortably
    then do you know what this poem
    is talking about?
    the meaning is like about a couple
    who are on the different corners of the world
    and missing each other
    you're so young
    and already knows what missing means
    of course, my father died early
    when I think about him
    I will play the
    flute that he made me
    da ren (title of important lord)
    your flute is played with such distress
    is it because you are missing someone ?
    I am thinking
    "I hope my thoughts will not be correct"

    15:10
    everyone dismiss yourself
    yes (concubine & eunuch leave)

    Right now, they can at any moment
    attack our gates

    your courtesy is excused (you may rise)
    you have finally returned
    right now, Yanxun's large army,
    at any moment, can surround the city
    I have already predicted so
    that's why I traveled day and night
    to return back to Chang An
    all around Chang An
    I set up traps
    looks like Xian Wang Dian Xia
    mobilized a lot of army men
    to come save Chang An
    You took out your family's
    specialty
    how can I hold anything back
    searching to the bottom of my house
    would not matter
    we need to depend on your
    traps
    I believe it's enough for this wolf pack
    to drink
    even the most complex traps
    can only ward them off for a moment
    Wei Shu Yi is occupied with Yanbei
    Yanxun battled his way to Chang An
    The final unlucky ones
    should be the citizens

    Say it, just say it
    I don't believe there will be a worse event
    Yanxun's army
    has penetrated through Mei Lin mountain passage
    battling towards Chang An
    stealing and slaughtering the city on the way
    a few cities are basically
    emptied out
    I didn't think this wolf pack
    is this wicked and merciless
    After Jiu You stage (where the king killed Yanxun's family)
    it completely changed him
    Yuwen Yue
    Right now, take Wang Sheng group with you
    go tie up Princess Chun Er and bring her back
    if we still don't receive help
    bring me back the army command
    the water in the distance would not be able to save the nearby fire
    Not only, around Princess Chun Er
    is a group of men skilled in martial arts
    even if it is Wang Sheng group
    it cannot be done

    17:53
    Then,
    kill
    The king already sent Yuan Song there
    I think he will figure out a way
    You are still protecting Chun Er
    letting Yuan Song go there
    is a 2 purpose strategy
    Yuan Song will not hurt her
    and also will not let her do stupid things
    but right now
    assassinating Yanxun
    is the only road out
    only letting Yanxun die
    then can we allow Chang An city
    to not go through
    a calamity
    This solution...
    we can try it out

    19:10
    Dian Xia (prince title), you woke up
    Did Zong Yu send a letter?
    Has Chu Qiao arrived at Lan (Blue) city?
    Not yet
    Did she not go to Lan City?
    probably did not (to Yanxun's last statement above)
    Dian Xia (prince title) don't worry, I believe
    the letter will arrive these couple of days. Reporting!
    Dian Xia, Zhong Yu sent a messenger to report
    Chu Da Ren recovered the Xiu Li army
    and brought them to support Hong Chuan (city)
    and has already in Hong Chuan city
    fought 2 battles
    what did you say?
    Ah Chu lady is still at Hong Chuan?
    with that little army?
    isn't that like throwing an egg against a rock?
    dian xia dian xia
    dian xia

    20:03
    dian xia
    where are you going?
    let go
    dian xia
    let go
    if you go back to Yanbei now
    what will happen to the army outside?
    we have fought all they way to
    the foot of Chang An
    dian xia
    Hong Chuan city has a secret passage
    it's for when the city has been completely fallen
    Ah Chu lady and them
    can escape from the secret passage
    She has decided to go back
    then she will and must defend
    according to her personality
    she will not leave
    dianxia
    for the sake of the entire plan
    Ah Jing, send instructions to Zhong Yu
    and say within 2 days
    she must take Ah Chu out of Hong Chuan city
    this is my only command for her
    yes

    21:12
    Chun Er, Prince Yuan Qi has already died
    this is a death penalty
    me coming here , is also a death penalty
    if you are afraid
    leave
    what nonsense are you speaking of
    you clearly know I cannot
    leave you alone here
    why would you bother to say that
    Chun Er
    I am worried about you
    Yu Wang (Prince) Dianxia (His highness)
    step aside
    Yu Wang Xian Xia
    Why did you come here
    If I do not come
    I don't know what other
    ridiculous things you all will create

    22:01
    Wei Shu Yi
    Chun Er is young and naive
    How can you join in on her mischief
    the tiger tally in her hands
    brought the imperial guards to here
    do you know what this have done?
    everything was my decision
    it's not related to him
    I'll take responsibilities of all the consequences
    take responsibility?
    how will you take responsibility?
    little sister
    stop being silly, okay?
    it's still not late for a sheep to fix the fence (idiom about a sheep defending against wolves)
    Your theft of the army command has angered our King father
    have you thought about our Mother Concubine
    Mother concubine is mother concubine, I am I
    My affairs
    what does that has anything to do with mother concubine
    Absurd words!

    22:46
    you are mother concubines's daughter
    your faults
    will be burdened onto mother concubine
    Chun Er
    come with me back to Father king and plea for your crimes
    I who actually have already took the skies
    and struck a hole through it
    then I am not afraid that it will collapse
    my ending
    is practically like that
    so it's not really anything
    that I need to debate about (have 3 hearts and 2 desires)
    Wait until I penetrate Hong Chuan (city)
    kill Chu Qiao, and take revenge
    if Father king wants my head
    then I will just give it to him

    23:13
    Chun Er
    Can you stop being so stubborn
    I also heard
    Yanxun battled from Yanbei to Da Wei.
    the counties in between has already fallen
    Chang An has no army to mobilize
    If Chang An falls
    then you have destroyed the nation of Da Wei
    what are you saying?
    Yanxun is attacking Chang An?
    how can that be?
    Does he not want Yanbei anymore?
    Is it possible that he is willing to part with
    Chu Qiao, this disgusting maid?
    little sister
    If you occupied Yanbei, then what?
    if Chang An is lost
    everything will be lost
    listen to brother and come back with me.

    24:11
    No
    If it's like that
    then I definitely should not go back
    give one more day x 2
    I can kill Chu Qiao
    I need to penetrate Hong Chuan city
    and shred CHu Qiao's body apart
    and then take her head
    and throw it in front of Yanxun's face
    only this way can I let this breath go
    does your heart not have me?
    what about the citizens of Chang An?
    Chun Er
    Please listen to the words of Yu Wang Dian Xia
    Right now, we really cannot drag this on anymore
    (laughs)
    it's only a disgusting maid in the city
    and a group of disorderly crowd
    a magnificent Da Wei prince
    a a general who descended from a great family
    actually cannot even go against her
    How can I still rely on you
    to go against Yanxun and protect Chang An
    If at this moment
    the army retreats
    then all our previous effort
    will all be wasted
    ben gongzhu (I, princess) will absolutely disagree
    lai ren (instructions for servants to come)
    send Yu Wang Dian Xia back to the capital
    yes yes
    Chun Er

    26:03
    Gongzi (nobleman title)
    shu xia (I, subordinate) will think of a method
    to send Mo Er back
    He sneakily came out
    really do not have a method
    I am helpless with him
    how can you have a method ?
    but we cannot continue like this
    over here, it can at any time
    turn into a battlefield
    it's too dangerous
    this child
    has went through a narrow escape from death
    the things we are facing now
    is not much of a fear to him
    His biggest fear .. is to be abandoned

    26:46
    gongzi
    shuxia (I, subordinate) has already found Yanxun's
    camp/tent
    We can move any time
    wait for my signal to take action
    do not be careless/rash
    shuxia (I subordinate) understand

    27:04
    Da Ren just fell asleep. Quickly halt!
    I have important military issue, step aside
    no
    step aside
    whatever you have
    just wait until tomorrow morning to say
    Ping An, step aside
    let him come in
    loosen off
    Da Ren
    You go out
    Chu Da Ren
    Song Qi Feng (name)
    isn't Zhong Yu's
    at Lan City ?
    Is Yu Lady here to support me ?
    Yu Lady ordered shuxia(I, subordinate)
    to find Chu Da Ren
    to discuss important matter
    where is her person?
    right outside the city

    27:57 (translations from colonyofcells del machine and I)
    Ah Chu, it's me
    Hong Chuan city's time is limited
    Do not try to forcibly hold out despite the difficulties.
    Allow me to take you away
    this area is not safe
    While on the road, I'll explain to you
    you first tell me
    did you already know
    about Hong Chuan city's situation?
    Did you know how certain people created trouble?
    yes or no?
    yes.
    I know
    Da Wei split into 2 groups (in separate paths)
    and forced its way (marched its way) to the river head crossing (the place where they are at)
    and attacked Hong Chuan
    did you know ?
    I know
    Cheng Yuan rejected the refugees
    killed his team members and abandoned city and ran
    did you know about all of these ?
    I know
    Once, Da Wei penetrate through Hong Chuan (city)
    and massacre the captured city
    Yanbei's millions of army and people
    will die without a place to be buried
    all of these, did you know ?
    I know

    29:15
    Why
    why did you clearly know
    and not stop it? (End of credits to colonyofcells del machine)
    Ah Chu
    Do you still not understand?
    Lan City at this moment does not have any
    Yanbei's troops
    Northern Shuocheng's troops troops
    have all been drawn back and left
    Not only limited to Lan City
    The entire Yanbei does not have much
    army men
    The present Yanbei's inlands
    is like a horse racecourse
    Any Da We's army that attack
    can become the occupied army (main army that controls the city)
    But I don't have the power to stop Cheng Yuan
    and no one will give me the power to do so
    the only command I received
    is to bring you away
    other than this
    I did not receive
    orders to act

    29:56
    Yanxun
    Dianxia is also not at MeiLin mountain pass
    are you guys crazy?
    yes
    Although it's insane, it's effective
    Dianxia's army
    has already penetrated Da Wei's
    multiple defenses
    and pressing onto Chang An
    Da Wei's scattered East and South defense
    army
    is like water that is too far away to save the nearby fire
    Xibei's 10+ cities and bodies of waters
    have all bowed down
    at this moment, speed is important to the war
    Dianxia's black hawk army
    will before long attack Da We's
    royal city
    Ah Chu
    Dianxia knew you will not agree to
    his thoughts
    so he hid the truth from you
    but it does not mean he doesn't trust you
    Yanbei's region is bitter cold
    and severely limited our
    development
    no matter how much effort we put in
    there's no way to withstand against Da Wei
    at times when we are heavily outnumbered
    attacking the base of enemies can yet be regarded as good strategy
    as long as we catch the enemy off guard
    start a counterattack
    switch the position and unfavorable scenery
    then can we turn the situation around
    you are dianxia's closest person
    you should understand him

    31:20
    just for
    turning the situation around
    you guys allowed Yanbei's
    millions of army and civilians
    become the bait and cannon's dust?
    Ah Chu
    yes
    I use to suspect
    suspected Yanxun
    suspected Yanxun to lead an army to attack Meilin mountain pass
    to rid of
    the 2 armies focus
    and stabilized his position in Yanbei
    but I did not think
    Yanxun's ambition
    is not even at Yanbei
    He used Yanbei's millions of armies and civilians
    as a bait.
    At Hong Chuan city, he set up a
    humungous trap
    and had Da Wei's army
    all lured over here
    and risked the world's condemnation
    and lead Yanbei's number 1 army
    and Lan city's troups
    and forcibly enter into the lands of Da Wei
    No wonder
    before the battle
    emphasized on taking troops
    to attack Meilin mountain pass
    no wonder
    he didn't bring me with him
    no wonder
    the help signals I released
    have all sank to the bottom of the ocean
    personal body guards
    it's all Yanxun's
    closest and most trusted
    Lan city's and Hong Chuan city's crisis
    and have no support

    32:57
    Such complex inner thinking
    such scheme
    such a terrifying and detailed plan
    advancing every step, using such cruel methods
    that I can never imagine
    is this still the Yanxun I know?
    We have an agreement
    Yu lady
    do you still remember
    the first time we met
    the things you said to me ?
    I remember

    33:45
    I said hopefully one day
    Yanbei
    will no longer have orphans like you
    indeed
    once the war is won
    Yanbei will no longer have
    an orphan like me
    because the people of Yanbei
    have all died!

    Line by Line

    Credits to colonyofcells del machine for contributions. (I will edit when I have time to blend the material together)

    29:43
    heroine : My body (health) is now getting quite well. I want to go. Because the things I need to do, will surely cause you great difficulties. After you are back in Chang An, take good care of yourself. If Yan Bei and Da Wei start a war, we too will have no choice but to meet at the battlefield. At that time, you too will necessarily not be able to show any mercy.

    Yu Wen Yue : Aside from making clear our positions, don't tell me, you have nothing more to say to say to me.

    heroine : between us, what else can we say to each other.

    Yu Wen Yue : that is true. Everything was just my own wishful thinking.

    heroine : Yu Wen Yue....You need to understand, I and Yanxun, we had very great difficulty to get to where we are today. I cannot be immature (to do whatever you want) and I also cannot act on impulse. Thank you for saving me so many times. I am really sorry, I really need to go. Yanxun is alone in Yanbei, what type of situations he is facing, what type of environment he is facing, what type of people he is facing, all of these I completely and totally do not know. I worry about him, of course (naturally), I also should console (comfort) him. I think, he still needs me. (kiss)

    Yu Wen Yue : I need you too! Can you feel it? (walks out)
