Empress’ Conquest

Even if he is killed by yue, the young man still feels guilty for killing her. He is sure that she would still blame him if he were to meet her in Hell. He asks if there is any chance that she loved him and then saved him with her life. She had confessed to jianchen the day before, and he had been drunk when he said that he would kill her. The young man says that he has been practicing the "zicha palm" , and that she had worked hard to practice the "xuerou palm" because she feared that her confession would lead to her husband's death. Finally, at the critical moment, she had her practice come in handy, and also killed her. She did not regret her choice, she says. She tells him that if he grows up and wants to marry her, she will marry him. The two of them met when they were three, begging on the streets for food. They lived for eight years, but then she suddenly disappeared. When he was on the brink of death, he was lucky to meet master. If he had not met master, he would not have become who he is now. It is her, he says, that has caused him so much pain. He apologizes for his actions, saying that he was jealous of yue and that he did not even have enough space left for her in his heart. He says that after he had fallen with zicha, he had a miracle. He was saved by the pine tree on the cliff, and this attachment to yue led him back. He learned from her the skills he needed to be a chef, hoping to one day meet her again. He meets a reclusive granny, who not only saves his life, but also heals his wounds.
