[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 12 ]
Your words just now
made me think of my Royal Father. I don't want to admit it,
but he misses someone in his heart.
That's why, he kept searching for his illegitimate daughter for more than ten years.
The Prince is very devoted.
Thanks to you,
I now know how Royal Father thinks.
My trip tonight was not wasted.
It is late. I'll take my leave.
Respectfully sending off, Your Highness.
Teacher.
Just now, the Heir Apparent left after saying some ambiguous words.
Then... what should we do?
Wait.
Wait for the Prince and Heir Apparent to come looking for us again.
Officer, I only got involved in a brawl on the streets.
- I didn't do anything else! Why am I tied up? - Cut the crap!
Do you think you were caught just for fighting on the street?
Tianmen Pass. Do you remember it?
What are you saying? I don't know.
It seems like... if I don't do anything to you,
you won't open your mouth.
Go look at the other one!
Your Highness, the other one is also dead.
They all died?
It seems like the enemy was alerted this time.
Young Master, what should we do now?
It just hurts a little. Hey, Eldest Brother,
let me tell you something! Just now,
when I was dancing on that lantern float,
I saw her masked face up close.
She looks like that person who tried to kill us at Tianmen Pass!
Young Master, get ready to wash up!
Young Master, please.
Qing'er.
Yes?
On New Year's Eve, you risked your life to save the Lady. You probably had other motives, right?
Young Master, are you suspecting my motives?
That's right.
I risked my life to save Lady
and even followed her back to her room, not out of care for her Lady,
but I was just looking for a chance
to find a dependable master.
It seems like, in order to get rid of Butler Ma who's in charge of the kitchen,
you really have racked your brain hard.
Please punish me!
A pretty, low-ranked girl like me,
if I don't plan for myself,
my life... will be worse than an ugly girl!
You don't need to be so nervous.
Why wouldn't I understand? You just want to find a chance to change your fate.
Serve by my side well.
I will not treat you poorly.
Thank you, Young Master!
Young Master.
That Qing'er's appearance is too coincidental! Also, her figure
is exactly the same as the First Miss of Mingyue Villa!
This...Young Master!
If you keep her by your side, will you be in danger?
Don't worry. I have my plans.
Leaving her by my side... may help us
defeat Mingyue Villa.
Young Master, someone has come from Yaoling Manor.
- Young Lord Mo. - Young Lord Mo.
I beg Lord Mo to consider for our father in Heaven's sake
and take us in, so we have somewhere to stay.
I will never forget this great favor.
In Heaven? Why did Master Lin suddenly...?
I won't keep it from you.
Mingyue Villa has long been threatening us with medicinal ingredients
and made us do whatever they asked for.
Yaoling Manor was just one of Mingyue Villa's pawns!
My father didn't want to be their puppet,
so he has been looking for a chance to escape their control!
Father decided to give you Hua Buqi to bring her into the capital.
Mingyue Villa found out, and Father...
Father died in Mingyue Villa's hands!
Only my little sister and I
managed to escape!
I once heard my cousin say
that Feiyun Fortress once bought herbs from Yaoling Manor,
but they were almost robbed on the way back.
Feiyun Fortress and Mingyue Villa have never been on good terms. Looking at things,
Mingyue Villa really did steal those herbs.
Precisely.
Yaoling Manor participated in it
because we had no choice.
Please forgive us.
There is nowhere for us to go.
I beg you to please take us in.
Hurry and get up.
When I brought Buqi to the capital, I once promised Master Lin
that I would help him do business in the capital.
Stay here at ease.
I will definitely keep my promise
and help you start anew in the capital.
- Thank you, Young Lord Mo. - Thank you, Young Lord Mo.
Bring Young Lord Lin and Miss Lin to rest.
- Yes. - Get some rest first. Once you are well rested, we will talk.
Okay.
Please come with me.
Okay.
Young Master.
Mingyue Villa has too big of an appetite!
If we take them in,
will we be in danger?
At Tianmen Pass, Mingyue Villa ambushed us. We've long become their target.
I took in those siblings because one, I don't want to be someone who breaks promises.
Second, I want to learn more about Mingyue Villa from them.
Could it be a "hurting myself to look pitiful" trap set by Yaoling Manor?
What if Mingyue Villa really sent them here?
They will then be watching our every move.
You're smart!
Young Master taught me well!
Send someone to investigate Yaoling Manor.
See if that Old Man Lin is really dead.
Yes! I'll go pack my bags now.
Little Sister, don't think so much about it.
Since we have already entered Mo Manor,
I think Young Lord Mo
is not a person who goes back on his word.
Brother...
I just miss Dad.
You criminal! Give me your life!
Brother!
Who are you?
- Why do you want to kill us? - Brother.
I am Yun Lang, the Young Master of Feiyun Fortress!
I long suspected you had connections with Mingyue Villa.
Today, I heard from my cousin that it really was you.
You almost caused the horse epidemic in our Feiyun Fortress to spread!
We couldn't hand over the required war horses on time!
I went to investigate at Yaoling Manor,
was heavily injured, and almost died in your hands!
Speak! Why do I want to kill you?
- Move aside! - Little Sister!
- Little Sister, are you okay? - Cousin?!
- Are you hurt? - What's going on with you? When can you change your brash personality?
I only just started talking, and then you ran off to attack them!
It's okay now...
Yaoling Manor was also used and threatened by Mingyue Villa!
Mingyue Villa's people killed Master Lin!
Our common enemy is Mingyue Villa!
We should join together and give it our best to fight our common enemy, Mingyue Villa!
Apologize.
Stop crying. I didn't cry when I was badly hurt at Yaoling Manor.
I just pushed you, and you're crying like this!
All right, all right, stop crying. How about this?
I'll let you hit me. One hit for a hit. Okay?
You Lin family people are interesting. You stopped crying with one hit?
Your Highness, the royal physician has instructed that you shouldn't think too much.
Your Highness, stop thinking about it.
This Liu Mingyue...
How did she know about that dance?
Back then, I had to leave the capital for three months
because of a case involving the state treasury.
Just for me, Xue Fei danced under the moonlight by herself
and sang that song. Hoping that I'll come back soon.
This matter, only the two of us know about it!
Your Highness, you mean... Mingyue Villa is connected to Xue Fei?
Could she still be alive?
That isn't possible. I was with you when we saw Xue Fei die.
Where is Xue Fue's body?
Your Highness, while we searched for the child,
someone must have taken the body away!
Say... could someone have rescued her
and saved her life? Now, Mingyue Villa has suddenly appeared.
My time is limited.
- You must investigate for me! - Your Highness!
- Royal Father! Teacher, go find a royal physician! Hurry! - Okay!
Royal Physician! Royal Physician!
Princess Consort Gan, Your Highness.
It seems like the effects of the Spring Revival Pill have reached its limit.
If he takes it again,
the medicine will not work.
It won't be helpful for him anymore.
Then what should we do now? Is the Prince's illness not treatable?
Princess Consort Gan, the Prince's body has always been weak.
After multiple aggravations, I'm afraid...
I'm afraid... his time is limited.
Impossible! Nothing can happen to him!
Royal Physician, can my Royal Father still wake up?
Your Highness, an illness of the heart (psychological) needs a medicine for the heart. I will take my leave.
Your Highness!
Hua Buqi, take care of Royal Father. I'm going out.
I got it.
I heard the Seventh Prince is ill.
This year, Heir Apparent Chen Yu will be in-charge of the government bank,
so all the businessmen have started studying his character.
Who knew that a little profile book like this would come out so quickly.
Is anything on the profile true?
It's all nonsense. None of it is true.
Based on what you saw that day, what is the Heir Apparent like?
Everyone says that he is a playboy.
As I see it, he is a pig. A pig that can eat a tiger!
So, that's how he is!
However, it's fine as long as he doesn't favor Mo Manor this time.
If we do not offend the Seventh Prince,
whether or not Heir Apparent hides himself well has nothing to do with us.
That Heir Apparent has always hated that illegitimate daughter.
Now that Hua Buqi has created such troubles,
there is even more of a reason to hate Mo Manor.
The government bidding would definitely not favor Mo Ruofei this time.
If the Heir Apparent really hated that illegitimate daughter,
that day during the lantern festival, he wouldn't have saved her!
Teacher, you mean...
Nothing is set. You cannot be careless.
Hua Buqi may have gotten onto the lantern float that day because she was suspicious of you.
Be careful!
Teacher, how beautiful is that Xue Fei,
such that Seventh Prince would be so obsessed with her?
I saw her painting. She's just a typical beauty.
It's not just the Seventh Prince.
In the past, even Master became obsessed with her..
She was like the reflection of the moonlight, the first snow in the winter.
She made the clouds stop moving
and flowers fall in the Spring. Causing Biluotian to just pass out one day from getting drunk.
How can a painting capture her aura?
Why did that dance have such a large effect on the Seventh Prince?
It actually increased the severity of his illness.
This is just our first step.
Villa Master, the Seventh Prince's Heir Apparent, Chen Yu, has come.
You used some very good tricks.
I don't know what you mean.
They only fought on the streets.
Did you need to kill them all?
Your Highness must be joking. Mingyue Villa's people just suddenly died in prison.
I even wanted to go ask how it happened, so how could I have killed them?
The catkins float in the sky like snow,
Jiangxin china is white as the full moon.
This is the Jiangxin white china the Emperor has been praising about?
You have quite a good taste!
Mingyue Villa specializes in making china for the palace. You do deserve the name.
And the government bidding this year has the master of Mingyue Villa's participation,
I am afraid that no one can compete with Mingyue on china.
You think too much. I want to leave my business in Qingwu's care.
One's mortal life is like a dream. I managed Mingyue Villa all these years, and now I'm tired.
I only want to stay in this villa and live my days in an idle and peaceful manner. This year
will be the last year I participate in the bidding.
During the lantern festival, I once visited Miss Liu.
Miss Liu is smart and hard working. She must have inherited your intelligence and bravery.
Her dance during the lantern festival scared the Prince.
I even wanted to visit your manor and apologize.
That's strange.
When I went to see Miss Liu,
I didn't tell her my Royal Father was frightened by her song and dance.
How did you know about it?
Or could it be that this dance was exactly prepared for my Royal Father?
What is Mingyue Villa's motive?
You have wrongly blamed us.
How could I dare to anger the Prince?
Qingwu was startled by your sudden visit.
Later on, she heard rumors from the commoners that the Seventh Prince's illness became severe because of her.
If you don't believe me, you can go ask the commoners.
I don't care who she danced and sang for.
My father was frightened by her song and dance.
Miss Liu must come with me.
If she cannot find a way to make my Father get better, then don't have her think of returning here again.
Your Highness, have mercy! Qingwu was only considerate about my plight
for I miss my dead husband, so she created this song and dance.
She didn't know it would frighten the Prince! Qingwu is still young.
I... only have one daughter. Please pity me.
The horse carriage is waiting outside.
You should just hope that Miss Liu can help my Father recover.
There is too much Jiangxin white china in the palace. If I ask the Emperor to change a brand,
I believe that he would be willing, too.
Uncle Jiu, he is my dad. But how come
when I see him sick, my heart is not anxious at all?
When you feel sick, I panicked so much!
I've been here in the royal manor for a while now,
but I just can't feel close to the Seventh Prince at all.
I keep finding the way he looks at me as being so strange.
Why did you bring her here?
Miss Liu, if you manage to do well, I will surely repay Mingyue Villa.
How will you repay me?
Can you fulfill one request?
You look very confident.
Tell me. What do you want me to agree to?
After the Prince sees my dance and recovers,
I will then tell you.
Begin.
♫ The ink has slipped into the water, traversing a pond of blue and white ♫

You've worked hard.
Please stay in the manor for a few days and see if you can awaken my Father.
I will definitely do my best to fulfill your request.
Take Miss Liu away to rest.
Yes.
That's right. As long as she has the same mark on her body,
I can be certain if she is the one who killed Uncle Jiu!
When Liu Qingwu wears a mask,
she really looks like the one who tried to kill Hua Buqi.
Xiao Liu,
tell Yu to prepare bathwater and see if she has that mark on her body.
Yes.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki
His Highness said that Miss Liu is tired from dancing.
He ordered us to prepare bathwater beforehand,
so you can take a bath and relax.
His Highness is quite caring. He thinks of everything.
Then I will help you.
I'm not used to having people near me when I bathe.
You can leave first.
You are a valued guest.
His Highness ordered us to serve you well.
If we do a poor job, His Highness will punish us!
Since you were sent to serve me,
then you must listen to me.
You can leave.
Then... Then I will wait outside. If you have any orders,
just call for me.
Yes.
Greetings, Princess.
Is Miss Liu inside?
Princess, Miss Liu is currently taking a bath inside.
Is there something you need me tell her?
There's no need. I wanted to ask her to teach me how to dance.
If she's bathing, I won't bother her then.
Tell her for me.
Yes.
What do I do? What do I do? What excuse can I find
to bluff my way out of this?
Miss Liu!
Your Highness?
- Your Highness. - I've bothered you.
Please wait a moment.
Why is the window open?
It's cold outside. You just took a bath.
Be careful not to catch a cold.
Thank you for your care. You came just in time.
When I was taking a bath, the window was clearly closed.
I don't know why it was open after I took a bath.
I'm wondering if someone sneaked in.
How could a highly guarded place like the royal manor have thieves like that?
You must be worrying too much!
It was suddenly windy outside. Perhaps the wind blew the window open.
And perhaps, you remembered it wrong.
You are right.
It might be me who is being too cautious.
Your Highness, why did you come here?
I suddenly remembered
that I saw you many times at Xizhou Prefecture.
So, I came to verify it.
Xizhou Prefecture?
That was so close! I almost got caught!
Thank goodness that dog-ass Heir Apparent liked her beauty
and bought me some time.
I was so close!
I was so close to seeing it!
Now, Liu Qingwu would be more vigilant.
It will be harder to look at it in the future!
I must think of a way.
When I was in Xizhou Prefecture to get medicine for Royal Father,
I once saw you.
Did you also go to Yaoling Manor to get medicine?
Yaoling Manor is a subsidiary property of Mingyue Villa.
I went there just to do some inspections.
Yaoling Manor also belongs to Mingyue Villa?
Villa Master Liu is surely a business genius!
It's just... you are not being honest.
When I was touring in Xizhou Prefecture,
I saw you and a group of black clad people
searching for someone in the forest.
You must have seen wrong.
I've never been in Xizhou Prefecture before.
How could that be?
For a pretty girl like you,
how could I have seen wrong?
Then perhaps, it's just someone who looks a lot like me.
I have never been to the forest in Xizhou Prefecture before.
I should have drawn a painting then!
She looked so much like you.
Since you said it wasn't you, then it wasn't.
That's right. Afterwards, I still planned to return to Xizhou Prefecture to get some medicines,
but I heard that Master Lin had died!
Everything changes, that includes one's life.
There are countless valuable herbs.
But in the end, there are illnesses that cannot be cured.
When I rushed over, Master Lin had already been buried.
As for what the illness was, I don't know either.
Mingyue Villa didn't want to investigate?
What if Master Lin was plotted against?
Mingyue Villa will get vengeance for Master Lin.
It's just that we haven't found out anything yet.
I am talking too much.
Since Yaoling is part of Mingyue Villa's property,
then when I need to find medicine for my father,
I will just ask from you, Miss Liu.
When I do,
don't be stingy.
Once the Spring Revival Pills are ready, I will save some for Your Highness.
If Your Highness wants it, I will gladly offer.
Thank you, Miss Liu.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki
You may come out.
Hua Buqi,
you asked for it.
Liu Qingwu.
I should call you the Second Miss Mo,
or...
Princess, of course.
The dance number you did on the Lantern Festival made my Father sicker.
Now that my Father is in a coma,
and you can't wake him up,
tell me what crimes have you committed.
Kneel.
The Prince hasn't even admitted that you are a Princess yet.
You just moved into the Prince's Manor, you are already being this arrogant like a Princess.
Kneel!
You still want me to kneel?
Stop it.
One kick for one slap,
it was worth it.
So you know how to fight?
What's going on?
The Second Miss demanded me to kneel to her, which I refused.
And she pushed me to the ground.
I did stop when I heard your voice,
but she slapped me in the face with no shame.
And you saw what happened next.
Even though the Prince was shocked because of my dance,
but I came
to help cure the Prince with all my sincerity.
Even though we, Mingyue Villa, are a business,
but we wouldn't allow ourselves being bullied.
I always heard that the Royal Concubine Gan is fair at managing the manor,
please defend me on this.
Miss Liu,
you also call her the Second Miss.
Then the one who hit you was from the Mo Manor.
If Mingyue Villa is still angry about it,
you should go argue with the Mo Manor.
Since you two are in the Prince Manor,
then you need the obey the rules of the Prince Manor.
Hua Buqi,
do you think the Prince Manor is the market
where you can do anything you want when you were a beggar?
I saw you hit Miss Liu first.
Apologize.
If there is a man who likes you,
he must be a eunuch.
Stupid jerk.
Why don't you call me a son of a bitch?
I love that better.
Son of a bitch.
Shut up.
What was Miss Liu saying?
Your Highness is here just in time. She was cussing me out.
Your Highness, don't let her leave. She wanted to kill me.
Your Highness,
I was only being impulsive. I wasn't trying kill her.
Bullshit! You were the one who tried to kill me outside of the Tianmen Gate.
You set up the trap to try to kill me and brother Mo.
Your Highness, I didn't.
I've never met the Second Miss before, and I have no beef with you.
Why would I want to kill her?
What evidence do you have to backup your accusation?
The mark on her.
I definitely wouldn't mistake that.
Just because of a body mark,
and nothing else?
Isn't that enough?
There isn't any witness, nor is there any evidence,
and you are trying to accuse her?
Hua Buqi,
I think...
you are just jealous about her dancing skills,
and angry about her slapping you on the Lantern Festival.
What I said was true.
If you don't believe it, that's fine.
Stop.
You are leaving right after you wrongfully accused Miss Liu?
If this gets out, people would say that the Prince Manor has no rules.
Go to the Silent Hall and kneel for two days.
It hurts.
Mother Gan,
Hua Buqi moved in because of Father's sickness.
If she broke the rules, let's not punish her for this once.
Can't Your Highness see that
this girl is pretending to faint?
Really?
Mother Gan think she is pretending?
It was only a light kick,
and she faints?
Don't tell me
she is as fragile as the real Princess.
Yeah.
A fragile girl like Miss Liu
shouldn't be able to break a piece of grass
with one kick.
Since Father didn't react to Miss Liu's dance,
then I am not keeping you here.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry that the Prince did not react to my dance.
I am going to pack and leave.
Stop, Miss Liu.
After giving many thoughts,
I would like Miss Liu to stay for a couple of days.
Since my Father is still not making sense.
maybe one day when he wakes up, he will get better once he sees your dance.
If Miss Liu can help me,
I must pay you back.
I would not disobey Your Highness' demand.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki
No one is around you. You can wake up now.
I knew what you were saying.
Stop messing around.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Please put me down.
Okay.
Are you happy, Hua Buqi?
Were you happy about people calling you a son of bitch?
You faint whenever I yell at you.
Hua Buqi, is snail your zodiac sign?
If you don't get up now, I will kick you for real.
Why is she so cold?
Hua Buqi!
Was I good? You let me fall twice.
It seems like you haven't had enough.
If you make me fall one more time, I won't help the Prince.
Okay.
Then I won't let you fall.
Let's go. I will take you to my Father.
I really don't have much strength.
I had strength before. You made me fall,
- I'm collapsing. - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Doctor Zhao.
How is she?
Your Highness,
her organs are not wounded.
After a couple days of rest, she will be fine.
How about this,
I will prescribe something for now.
I will come visit in a couple of days.
Thank you, Doctor Zhao.
Goodbye.
Please.
Xiao Liu,
do you know what Buqi just saw?
If that's so,
Miss Liu
was the killer who tried to kill the Princess?
Mingyue Villa
tried to kill Buqi,
even though they knew that Buqi was the Prince's daughter.
Liu Qingwu's dance
was targeted at my father.
Then isn't it more dangerous to let Liu Qingwu stay in the manor?
Buqi has already alarmed her.
We don't have many clues in hand.
Xiao Liu, send more guards to protect her.
And we will just see what happens.
Understood.
You've suffered.
