Young Sherlock
Episode 18
I only know that he was previously an official here.
- Official? - Yes.
- Did he tell you that? - No.
I've seen him organize his clothes before. He has the belt and token of an official. His name is written on it.
He personally hid the treasures that he's currently searching for.
Why didn't he retrieve the treasures alone? Why did he bring you all along?
It's because we all know one of his secrets.
- Secrets? - Yes. In order to shut our mouths, he agreed to bringing us here and split the money.
- I didn't expect that... - You didn't expect what?
I didn't expect he'd be so cruel, wanting to kill us.
You mean, he planned all of this?
Definitely. He's very clear of the situation in this valley.
Also, he purposefully ran off, didn't he?
Then, how will you explain what happened when we were together?
Don't forget, he and Chen Qi are working together.
- What do you mean? - Of our group, only Chen Qi and An Bang are together.
I suspect they were previously both officials here.
What is your evidence?
It's just a guess because they have the closest relationship.
They also often whisper to each other.
What about Chen Yuan?
I don't know about that. This is all I know.
Since I escaped from death's door this time, no matter what, I won't risk my life again.
If I can leave this place, anything will do.
Thank you.
Wanqing, you're finally awake.
Why is it you?
I found you on the mountain road.
Mountain road?
- But this place... - This is the place where we first lived.
Wanqing, I promise that I won't let you leave me again.
I remember this is the direction we faced when we first came out.
What are you still waiting for? Hurry and dig it open.
That's our only solution now.
Young Master!
Sister Wanqing! You're finally back! Are you okay?
- I'm fine. - Let's sit down first.
- Here, come here. - Er Bao.
Er Bao, get some food and water.
Hey, just go. Why are you wasting time? Hurry.
Okay.
Sister Wanqing, have you been okay? We were worried to death.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
I'm glad you're fine. What happened to you two?
Actually, I don't know, either.
When I woke up, he was already there.
According to what you said, it's possible that Chen Qi and An Bang kidnapped Wanqing.
Yes. It's just as Wanqing previously said.
Also, after Chen Yuan left last night, she never came back.
I think she's following her plan to find her brother.
That also makes sense, but who was the one who attacked us first?
This is also where I'm stumped.
Maybe it's a vampire.
Do you believe it?
I would rather believe it to be true than to deny it.
If supernatural creatures are really stirring up trouble, it's better to be careful.
When did you become so careful?
According to your analysis, why did they release Wanqing?
They didn't want to kill innocent people.
I'm worried that they'll return.
Guo Jinhai is back, so they'll surely return to kill him.
So that is what you're worried about?
Oh, right. Wanqing mentioned seeing a cave with a lot of boxes and coffins.
That's possibly where the treasure is placed.
Although this valley is small, there are at least 100 caves here.
How will we find it?
Don't worry about it yet. Let's find an exit first.
Oh, thank you.
What is inside this porridge?
Edible wild herbs.
I personally dug out these herbs!
You dug them out?
Wanqing, don't eat it. It might be poisonous.
Don't say nonsense.
You're the poison! How could this have poison?
That's right. How could there be poison?
You're openly taking her side!
You still want revenge on me for hitting you yesterday?
You two fought? When?
We didn't!
After you were caught, he went crazy, wanting to go rescue you.
I blocked him because it's dangerous, but he threatened to kill me. That's why I...
I could only let him go.
You... What are you saying? Who needed you to let me go?
That's really what happened!
Why? Can't I say the truth?
Will you die if you stop talking?
It's the truth! Why? You still want to fight?
- Come on! - Fight!
Are you going to fight again?
Let them go. They didn't get to decide on a winner last time.
They're already grown up, yet they fight so easily.
My mom said that men are children, even at age 60.
Okay, okay. You've been tired these days. Have some porridge. Here, here.
Sit.
Meiniang. Meiniang, I personally made this lover's knot as a present to you.
Do you like it?
This is Your Majesty's gift to me. How could I not like it?
I am glad you like it.
Your Majesty, I have a secret delivery.
Dao isn't dead. Still investigating. - Di Zhixun
As expected...
- Your Highness! What is wrong? - Hurry!
Meiniang.
Why did she suddenly faint?
Your Majesty, I do not know the reason, either.
Hurry and summon the physician!
- Please, this way. - Hurry, come here.
Congratulations, Your Majesty. Her Highness's pulse shows signs of pregnancy.
A small prince or princess will be born in the Inner Palace soon!
Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Highness!
But why did she suddenly faint?
It is because Her Highness is frail. Her body needs nutriment.
I will immediately go write a prescription to help with Her Highness's body.
- Eunuch Wei, reward him. - Yes!
No! Everyone has rewards!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, what happened to me?
Meiniang, we have our own child.
Really?
Don't move.
The physician just said your body is frail. You must not move around carelessly.
- Ming Yue. - Here.
Pass on my verbal decree: Starting today, add more attendants to Cuiwei Residence.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, we finally have our own child.
Like you, when I heard this message, I was overjoyed.
Meiniang, when you give birth to our son, I will promote you to Noble Consort.
You will be second to only Consort Li.
I will be satisfied with Your Majesty's child.
Nothing else is important.
You deserve it.
Have you ever worried that this trick wouldn't work?
This is also my biggest worry.
I don't know how much longer our food supply can last.
Also, our freshwater supply is almost empty.
Freshwater? Can't we drink that water?
I'm afraid the water here isn't clean, so I haven't been drinking it.
Brother An Bang, long time no see.
Will you explain where you've been?
Guo Jinhai is back.
Hey, since you're already in this situation, just tell us.
I found Chen Qi.
How could such a scary place exist?
I think this is only the beginning.
Where's Chen Qi?
This is Chen Qi.
What happened?
- It's... - Someone's here.
Don't worry. Follow me.
It's Chen Yuan. She's gone crazy from fear.
So many things happened. Shouldn't you explain yourself?
You know that we're at this valley for money, but so many creepy things happened.
Everyone is afraid.
That's why the Chen siblings and I wanted to secretly leave after getting the treasures.
Why don't you take Guo Jinhai along?
Why take him?
Guo Jinhai isn't one of us.
Furthermore, he's gravely injured. He'd only be a burden to us.
Chen Qi and Guo Jinhai disappeared at the same time.
That's also where I'm perplexed.
Chen Qi's departure was planned, but Guo Jinhai also ended up disappearing.
At first, I thought Chen Qi was wanting to be a loyal friend...
Was it not true?
It was not true. Later, Chen Qi told me that
he didn't pay any attention to Guo Jinhai.
Other than us, I think there are more people in this valley.
What about her?
Chen Yuan only wanted to delay you guys.
I already planned her escape route,
and she could reunite with us at an opportune time.
The plan was too detailed, so it was easy to fail.
Correct.
Truthfully, problem arose in the very beginning.
Your horse was gone.
Smart.
Brother, the horse is gone.
At first, we thought Guo Jinhai was behind it, since we were using him,
and he's upset. But later, Chen Qi told me that
he was with Guo Jinhai the whole time, so there was no time for him to take action.
So I don't think the treasure is secure enough.
It needed to be relocated.
That means you guys attacked Miss Wanqing?
That's right. Let me explain. It was an accident.
She accidentally fell into my trap.
Plus, I wanted to send her back after relocating the treasures, but she woke up midway.
That's why I did that.
I put her on the forrest road so that it would be easy for you to find her.
You must trust me.
Later, I went the other side of the valley to find an exit,
and asked Chen Qi and Chen Yuan to guard the treasures here.
But when I came back, this happened.
Chen Qi was murdered after I found Wanqing and before you came back.
That's right.
Let's talk after we go back to the open area.
Here.
Okay, let's go. Don't be afraid. Come on.
Let's go. I am your Brother An Bang.
Your Highness! Wu Meiniang is pregnant!
I just heard that His Majesty gave an order to have more palace maid work at Cuiwei Residence.
And the imperial physicians are giving her medicine to care for her baby.
Hurry and go to the Department of State Affairs Office and tell my father to come here.
Your Highness, I have already sent someone to do that,
but His Excellency is not in the capital.
Your Highness, what will we do now?
What's done can't be undone.
What can I do?
Your Highness, are you okay?
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness, you're coughing up blood!
Your Highness!
Why are you yelling?
Your Highness, Wu Meiniang is pregnant!
What?
Repeat what you just said.
Wu Meiniang is pregnant.
Is this reliable information?
I heard from Xiao Yuanzi who works alongside Eunuch Wei.
His Majesty ordered for more maids to take turns serving at Cuiwei Residence.
It can't be wrong.
And I also heard...
What else did you hear?
His Majesty promised Wu Meiniang to promote her to Noble Consort!
Noble Consort?
Yes, Your Highness. Then her rank would be above yours.
Higher rank than me?
When I see her in the future, I will have to kneel down to her!
- Your Highness. - That's impossible.
Impossible. Definitely impossible!
But if she really is promoted,
if you see her in the future and don't greet her appropriately, you would be disrespecting the hierarchy.
I have to greet her?
Sure.
Then I'll have to see
whether she can give birth to her son.
Chen Yuan.
Hey, what's wrong with him?
I don't know, but it's obvious that something happened last night.
Why did An Bang come back? And Chen Yuan...
It's a long story. It's hard to explain the details right now.
What is it? You've been sitting for a long time.
I was thinking.
Thinking about what?
I feel a little regretful.
If I hadn't been so impulsive in the beginning,
I would have realized more things.
I'm sorry. I'm a burden to you.
Don't say that. I like it when you're a burden to me.
No matter what, we'll find the way out soon.
Maybe leaving is a good choice.
I won't leave.
Why not?
You once told me that if I made a choice, I should follow through with it stubbornly.
But that's too dangerous. I don't want you to be in danger.
To me, you've never been someone who's afraid of danger.
And no matter what happens, I'll follow you.
It's great to have you.
Hey. Someone's here.
Er Bao, it's about to rain. Find a place for us to avoid the rain.
We can stay in the cave we were in earlier. That's the safest place.
Yes, Young Master.
Okay, let's go.
Don't be scared. It's me. Come on. Follow me.
Come on. Slowly.
It's really comfortable here.
Yes, Your Highness.
The air here is fresh and clean, so His Majesty told me
to bring you here everyday.
His Majesty really loves you, Your Highness.
Once you give birth to a prince, you'll be a noble consort.
As long as I have His Majesty's heart, I don't care about anything else.
Your Highness, you have His Majesty's heart.
Did you prepare everything?
Yes, I've done everything according to what you asked for.
Good.
Just wait and see, Wu Meiniang.
I'll have to see how long you can hold this up.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, are you okay?
Bear with it. Don't move.
Your Highness, you should have them apply the ointment for me.
I can't have you apply this for me.
What are you saying?
If it weren't for you today, my child and I would've been in trouble.
Your Highness, are you really okay?
Have them get the imperial physician to come see you.
Don't say anything. Let me apply the ointment.
But Your Highness, what happened today was really strange.
Where did the snake in the garden pavilion come from?
Why weren't there any when we went there in the past?
I've thought about that already?
Thought about what? Is someone trying to hurt you?
No, they want to—
We must tell His Majesty immediately!
You must not.
Don't let His Majesty know about this.
Why not?
Someone wants to hurt my child.
I have an idea of who it might be.
But I have no proof.
We're both women. I can understand how she feels.
She feels bad because she sees how His Majesty dotes on me,
so she's scheming.
Now, I just want to safely give birth to my child.
I don't want there to be any issues and make enemies out of others.
Do you hear me?
Yes.
Child, I will amass luck for you.
I won't make enemies out of others.
As long as you are born safely, I won't ask for anything else in life.
Yuanfang.
How about this? Tonight, Yuanfang, Mengyao, Wanqing, and I will live in this cave.
Brother An Bang, you, Miss Wu, and everyone else can live in that cave.
Okay.
Young Master, what about me?
You can go up there, set up shop, and keep guard.
That won't do, Young Master. I'll be scared all by myself.
That's fine. Then we'll all stay out here.
You can keep guard all by yourself in the cave.
Young Sir Di, how about we take turns keeping guard?
Don't make things hard on Er Bao.
Brother Guo, I didn't carry you for nothing!
Young Sir Di, I want someone to accompany me.
I'll be scared all by myself.
Then I— my Er Bao will keep you company.
Let's go inside.
Let's go.
Come on.
Makes me so angry!
Your Highness, don't be angry. It's not good for your health.
I'm sure that...
even though you overcame it this time,
will you be able to overcome it next time?
Your Highness, something happened.
What happened?
While Wu Meiniang was in the garden pavilion, a snake suddenly came out.
Snake?
How is Wu Meiniang?
She was scared but not hurt.
The maid Ming Yue protected her and was bitten by a snake.
Wu Meiniang is fine.
She's finally made her move.
Do you mean Xu Zhaoyuan?
In the Inner Palace, besides her, who else would dare to do this?
Yes, besides Xu Zhaoyuan, no one else would be so daring.
But Wu Meiniang is so weird.
She could have come to you or His Majesty to get justice for her.
but she's decided to keep quiet about it.
Why is that? I can't figure it out.
That's Wu Meiniang.
That's also why His Majesty likes her.
You're not too close with An Bang and the others.
I've already told everything to Young Sir Wang.
I'm sure he's told you.
That's right. I know.
Who do you believe?
Why do you ask that?
That old fox is full of schemes.
I'm worried that this is another one of his schemes.
We're leaving tomorrow anyway. So what if it is a scheme?
You're willing to leave just like that?
Staying alive would be best, right?
You're right.
Brother Guo, what do you plan to do in the future?
I'll go back to what I was doing before.
I don't want to live my life going only after money anymore.
I'm scared of dying now.
Who isn't scared of dying?
Oh yeah, are you and Miss Wanqing...
I hope I'm not being meddlesome.
I think Miss Wu also likes you.
Wu Qianqian?
Actually, anyone can see that. It's just a bit awkward to bring it up.
I think she's pretty great.
She's beautiful, kind, and filial.
She's not any worse than your Wanqing.
I'm just saying things. Don't take it to heart.
Chen Yuan is a pitiable woman.
- Yes. - She's so young, and she's already been scared to such a state.
She must have faced something especially terrible.
Indeed.
Even when I saw it, I was scared witless.
Can you tell me how Chen Qi died?
He was all bones and was abandoned inside a cave.
What? Bones?
What could have done that?
What's going on?
Why did you come here?
I came to get my things, but when I came here, I saw here in that state.
I was keeping guard at the entrance. How come I didn't notice?
Where's An Bang?
Er Bao!
I accidentally fell asleep. I didn't see anything.
Didn't I—
Could he be at the exit?
Let's go see.
Come on.
That's not good. Hurry back to the cave.
Let's go.
That's not good.
Why is all our food and water missing?
He lured us away.
Yes.
Yuanfang, Brother Guo, come with me to catch An Bang.
I'll come too.
No, stay here and protect them.
Let's go.
Be careful!
Be careful, Young Master.
Who is it?
Come out!
If you're capable, then don't hide behind these tricks!
Come out!
Come out and fight me!
Come out! Stop using these tricks!
I've killed so many people, so many ghosts are already after me. I'm not afraid of you!
Come out!
Come out! Come out!
Come out!
- Ghost! - Where do you think you're going?
- Ghost! - Take him back.
Gone.
What?
The food and water are gone.
Only these clothes are left.
Everyone, I didn't lie to you.
This is indeed a bailiff's.
This...
What is it?
This is identical to mine. Look.
Yes.
This was passed down from my ancestors. There's a pair of them.
My dad gave me one.
I can't believe the other one is here.
Young Sir Wang, you believe me now, right?
Seems like he really is hiding something.
Hey! Hey! Why did you kill Chen Yuan?
There's a ghost. There's a ghost.
Why do you have my family's bracelet?
There really is a ghost! There really is a ghost!
Looks like he's really gone mad from fear.
Impossible. I think he's faking it.
There's a ghost. There's a ghost.
- Hey. - Mengyao.
Everyone, it's getting late.
Let's get some rest and try to leave here tomorrow.
But the exit is blocked. How do we leave?
Since someone doesn't want us to leave, I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave.
Er Bao, don't use so much energy.
Who knows? It might get blocked again soon.
Then... then do I still have to move the rocks?
Whatever you want. It doesn't matter to me.
Then I'll keep moving rocks.
- Hey. - Yes?
Come over here for a second.
What's with you?
You learned to make cynical remarks?
- No. - No?
No.
Then tell me what we should do now.
Originally, I thought I had it.
But what happened yesterday has got me confused.
What do you mean?
According to An Bang and Guo Jinhai,
I'm sure someone is lying.
It seems like An Bang,
but I don't think he needs to lie to us.
But he ran away and—
We can't be certain that he killed Chen Yuan.
I feel that something is fishy.
Er Bao, hurry and move the rocks. Stop slacking off.
Yuanfang.
Let's go.
Come here.
Be careful. Don't mess anything up here.
We might find some tiny clues.
What are you hoping to find?
The cause of Chen Qi's death.
Indeed.
Even though the head is Chen Qi's,
the skeleton is the same as the ones on the ground.
They've been dead for decades.
It's just been polished and had fresh blood poured over it.
Now we have to find his body quickly.
Because the body can tell us a lot of things.
Look! There are words on the wall.
These words look like they've been here for a long time.
But...
But why is it upside down?
That's not hard to explain.
But there's something I find strange.
There are no traces of boxes having been here.
Yes.
Wanqing, the cave you were kidnapped in had a lot of boxes and coffins?
That's right.
I saw about... six or seven coffins
and a lot of boxes.
And on the boxes, there were...
There were what?
Seals.
Seals?
Yes, there were definitely seals.
Boxes with seals?
- Could it b— - Government silver.
Not necessarily. They possibly could be boxes to carry goods.
Anyway, to An Bang, both of those are considered a huge sum of money.
That's right.
But he can't take that much away all by himself.
Then... maybe he'll only take a portion of it and run away?
He came to this valley for treasure.
He wouldn't give up so easily.
Between his own life and treasure, he'd definitely choose treasure.
Let's not talk about that. Let's find Chen Qi's corpse.
Let's go.
Come on.
Are you sure the corpse is in the vicinity?
His target is treasure. He won't care about the corpse.
If he doesn't take care of the corpse, then we'll be able to find it easily.
The best place to take care of a corpse is a place where there are a lot of corpses.
My Lord, we will listen to your command.
Is the situation a little out of control?
This...
Looks like the truth will be revealed soon.
My Lord, if we take action now, it won't be too late.
After all, they don't know the existence of our iron-blood soldiers.
No. Now, I am more and more curious
about what the truth is.
My lord, you mean...
Let them keep investigating. If necessary, help them.
Help them?
That's right. I want to see what will happen after everything is revealed.
But my lord, what if—
No what ifs.
I understand.
- Go. - Yes.
- There are ghosts. There are ghosts. - Stop faking it.
There are ghosts. There are ghosts.
Brother Guo, why haven't they come back yet?
Oh...
This valley is too big. There are a lot of caves.
I'm afraid they'll need three to four days to look through all of them one by one.
Then what do we do?
The one who knows the valley best is him.
But... but he's already gone mad.
Don't worry. They'll definitely be fine.
We can take him with us to search for them.
Whether he's really gone mad or is just pretending, he won't have forgotten the roads around here.
I think it's better that we not do that.
So many things have already happened. We should just stay here.
If Brother Di comes back and doesn't see us, they'll have to look for us.
That's true. If we get lost, that will be the easiest way for bad things to happen.
We'll just stay here and wait.
This really is a hell on earth.
Yes.
This is the most convenient place to take care of a corpse.
That's why it's so sinister here.
This is probably the place for private punishment that An Bang talked about.
