My Assassin Girlfriend
Episode 16
Don’t arrest me!
Let me go!
Why do you arrest me?
Let me go! Let me go!
Sir, wait.
Young man.
How come the capital of Xumi has become like this?
Be careful!
Young man, don’t ask.
You’d better leave here now.
Why?
Young man, you don’t know.
The Regent is recruiting soldiers and imposing tax again!
Everybody is in panic!
How dare him to go against the will of the majority!
Young man, watch your mouth!
The Regent’s guards are everywhere!
They could arrest you!
Leave here, hurry!
Just leave here!
Sir!
It’s so cold!
We have a guest, go greet him!
I don’t want to, you go!
Then you want him to greet himself?
Ladies, sorry to bother you.
Hi, sir.
Sir, please take a seat.
Have some snacks!
I want to ask you a few questions.
Do you know a girl who plays Guqin?
We know a lot of girls who play Guqin.
Who do you ask?
A girl whose last name is Yu.
You know Ms. Yu?
Why do you ask about her?
She’s my friend.
Princess, your hair style is too girly girl!
Let me do a goddess-like hair style for you next time.
You just said something I don’t understand again.
What’s girly girl?
And who’s goddess?
I was talking about you.
Girly girl refers to someone
soft and easy-going.
Goddess, however, is sharper and more capable.
You know so much!
Then I’ll listen to you.
Do you think
it’ll work?
Don’t worry.
You are so smart,
and we’ve practiced many times.
You will make it today.
Yu, it all thanks to you!
I would have had no idea
how to live my life here
if you hadn’t showed up all of a sudden!
I should thank you
for accepting me
and believing my words.
Although what you said sounded bizarre to me,
anything could happen in this world.
I can’t understand all of them.
By the way, have you recalled anything
these days?
Not much!
I can only remember some pieces,
but I still can’t recall all of it.
Don’t worry though.
We’ll leave here one day
and you can go to Song State with me.
Our State is filled with people with special and powerful abilities.
We’ll figure out a way to help you regain your memory.
In that case,
I’ll count on you.
Don’t worry.
I assure you I won’t let you down.
She’s been missing for days.
The official looked for her too.
We are all worried about her.
But we couldn’t find her anywhere.
Sir, do you know anything about her?
Where did you get this snack?
The snacks
were cooked by our chef.
Where’s your chef?
Excuse me!
Sir…
Your Highness, greetings to you!
I want to have an audience with Bai He, the Regent of Xumi.
Why do you come here alone?
Royal Highness is very busy,
so he sent me here.
What can I do for you, Your Highness?
I’ll try my best to serve your needs!
Alright!
In that case,
let me leave here.
Well…
I’m the princess of Song State!
You’ve detained me here for several days.
Do you have any respect to me?
To my country?
Even if I’m not a princess,
but just an ordinary civilian,
the Royal Highness can’t detain me here
for no reason!
He has violated my personal freedom!
I hereby make an official protest against him!
I should be released right now!
Please forgive my poor understanding.
But I’m not sure
I understand what you just said, Your Highness!
Alright!
Then I’ll say something you can understand.
I’ll break off the engagement.
I want freedom!
I want to leave here!
I was here to marry the emperor
because our Song State intended to befriend with Xumi.
Now the wedding date has long been passed.
There’s no any news about your emperor.
I don’t have any affection toward him.
Not to mention it’s a marriage based on our own wills.
And how are you treating me right now?
You have no respect and sincerity to me.
I have the right to unilaterally put forward
to terminate the engagement, which shall take effect immediately.
Your Highness, the marriage is a very important matter.
I don’t have a say in that.
Please clam down, Your Highness!
I’ll report this to the Royal Highness.
You can neither understand my words nor have the right to do anything.
Can’t believe the Royal Highness would send you here.
It’s alright that you can’t make decisions about the important matters.
But Her Highness has been here for a long time,
you have never treated her as an important guest.
You haven’t done anything special
about her diet, living or recreation.
Who are you?
She is the envoy of our State!
Forget it.
You are just a messager.
I won’t waste my time on you.
Take this letter to your Royal Highness.
He’ll understand.
I’ll take my leave now.
How did I do?
Young master!
Get up!
Xiaoli!
Young master, it’s really you!
Sit here!
Tell me.
Was it okay today?
“Okay” is an understatement! You were fantastic!
You know what?
I even wanted to applaud for you on the side!
I was only bluffing.
Actually my hands were getting sweaty out of nerves.
It wasn’t easy for you.
But to be honest,
do you feel good and satisfied?
I do feel good and satisfied!
Actually our Song State is different from Xumi.
We always advocate the equality between men and women.
We also had female emperors before.
Really?
My father loves me very much.
He had me study together with my brothers when I was little.
In fact, I also know about some country governing concepts
and civil and military skills.
It’s just that as a princess, I’m expected to behave neutrally.
It was the first time I said no to people today!
Now I see how it feels
when I’m in control of my own life!
In the world where I come from,
people ought to be in control of their own lives.
No matte men or women,
everybody has the right to choose their jobs
and control their own careers.
In addition, people are entitled to choose their spouses.
They make decisions about their own marriages.
I didn’t think about those.
I’ll be happy as long as I can marry a man I love.
Then all the country governing concepts and the civil and military skills you learned
will go waste.
I have a brother.
He’s actually the knowledgeable and capable one!
He’ll be the emperor of Song State in the future.
But it’s a pity that he is not interested in politics.
He travels all the time
and usually has gone for months.
My royal father is so mad at him.
Your brother sounds like an interesting man.
He is.
My brother cares about me a lot.
He’s just into traveling too much.
But I quite admire him sometimes.
He has the chance to see the outside world.
The world is so big.
Aside from Xumi State and Song State,
there are also countless mountains, rivers, seas and remote areas,
as well as the past and future.
Since we are free,
could you tell me more stories about your age?
Sure!
Where were we?
Our Mount Isle Hotel
had a new CEO.
This guy is a “male chauvinist.”
“Male chauvinist?” What is that?
It means that he’s upright, unique and cute.
The snacks are amazing!
Let’s try something different.
Sure.
You guys eat all the time.
Look at you!
Xiaoli is here!
Xiaoli!
Why did you turn around when you saw us?
What does that mean?
That’s right!
Ladies, I have something important to do.
It’s important.
What could be more important
than accompanying us?
That’s right!
Sisters,
he makes dough and cooks every day,
but his skin is still so nice!
How do you keep your skin soft?
Tell us!
Everybody, look at our Xiaoli!
Even his hair is so nice!
I’m so jealous!
Tell me about it!
Stop messing around.
If we anger Xiaoli,
he won’t cook snacks for us anymore.
Xiaoli, you are not happy about
us touching you, are you?
I’m fine!
Tell us if you don’t like it.
Even if you tell us,
it won’t stop us from touching you!
Ladies, please stop.
Xiaoli, please don’t stop
cooking snacks for us!
Ladies!
I’m begging you!
I’ll cook snacks for you later!
-Young master. –Don’t lie to us!
Don’t forget!
Don’t lie to us!
We’ll be waiting for you, Xiaoli!
We are waiting!
Xiaoli is shy!
Stop making fun of him! Let’s go!
We are waiting for you!
Xiaoli, I have new respect to you after separating a few days!
Young master, please don’t make fun of me!
Alright, I’ll stop.
How did you get here?
How did your leg get hurt?
Mr. Li gifted me this pair of jade earrings.
Mr. Zhang gifted me a jade bracelet a couple of days ago.
What’s the big deal about that?
Let me tell you,
a couple of days ago, a foreign guest gifted me…
Look!
Our Xiaoli fell from the heaven!
His has soft and fine skin!
Stop messing around! Keep working!
Ladies, please let me work.
Don’t be afraid, we’ll protect you!
Xiaoli, don’t worry!
We won’t yell at you!
Thank you! Thanks!
So cute!
Thanks!
Stop eating!
The guests are waiting!
I’m on it! I’m on it!
Hurry up!
Work harder!
It’ll be ready right away!
Hurry!
Right away!
Young master, I wanted to escape.
But my leg is hurt,
and I don’t have any money. So I can’t go anywhere.
I could only get settled here for the time being.
My leg got a little better a few days ago,
so I sneaked out to find you guys.
But there were too many people out there, I couldn’t find you!
Fortunately, the heaven pitied me
and had me found!
It’s so great!
Sorry you had to suffer.
It’s ok.
Actually the ladies here
are very nice and they all take good care of me.
It’s just that they are used to behaving that way.
So they make jokes like that with everybody.
I’m in fact quite worried about Xiaozhu
and Ms. Yu.
Don’t know where they are
and if they are in danger.
I’m worried about that too.
Xiaozhu has never been to Xumi.
I don’t know where she is.
And I don’t know if Yu Yan has got her memory back.
We need to find them as soon as possible.
Yes, young master!
Xiaoli, have you found out anything about my royal mother?
I heard from the street
that Bai He hasn’t become the emperor yet.
Young master,
although Bai He kidnapped the Empress Dowager,
he only sent her to
the Eight Immortals Mountain to meditate.
Her Royal Highness shouldn’t be in danger.
This Bai He has wild ambitions,
but he won’t dare to do anything
against rites and rules.
No. It might just be his stalling tactic.
He’s waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity by which he can take the throne without raising questions.
Even if he can let my mother go by then,
a war is still inevitable
between Xumi and Song.
The people will have to
suffer from this calamity again.
I only read about this illness
in a single-copy medical book.
The book also recorded the prescription for treatment.
I have to go back and find it.
Please allow me more time, Royal Highness!
I see.
Go get on it!
Thank you, Royal Highness! I’ll take my leave.
His Royal Highness!
What’s up?
Leave us.
His Royal Highness.
This is a letter from the princess.
His Royal Highness, the princess’ behaviors were a bit unusual this time.
Her words were strange and confusing.
And there was a female envoy
suddenly showed up this time.
Female envoy?
Personal freedom?
Marriage equality?
What do these mean?
I’m not sure!
The princess said to me that she wants to leave the posthouse,
and she wants to terminate the engagement.
This crazy talk
is just her illusion!
Don’t think this will make me
fall for her trick!
But looks like the princess is quite determined this time.
It might not be so easy to fool her.
She is after all the Princess of Song State.
If she’s irritated
and ends up hurting herself,
it’ll put me in trouble and ruin my plan
when Song State confronts me.
Except for her return
and the termination of the engagement,
you can do anything as she asks.
I understand.
These are the dowries I brought from my country.
Hope you’ll like them.
You can have whatever you want.
But I really am
not quite interested in these.
“The clouds are her flowing robe, the flower, her face.”
As a girl, how can you not be interested in these?
Let alone, you are such a pretty girl!
Your clothes are too simple.
You are my official.
I need to take care of you!
Hold on.
Here.
Try this.
Here.
Take a seat.
Don’t underestimate these.
People are shallow and only into looks.
Dressing up is an art.
You know so much more stuff
than I do.
But speaking of this,
I can be your teacher.
Why did you sigh?
Nothing. You just reminded me of my bosom girlfriend.
She used to dress me up a lot too.
It’d be nice if I could introduce her to you.
You’d have a lot in common!
What’s bosom girlfriend?
It means she is my closest friend.
Then am I your closest friend?
My closest friends…
Besides her, I only have you.
Besides you, I have no one.
What do you usually talk with a bosom girlfriend?
Just like how we are talking right now.
Sometimes, we talk about love too.
Hope one day,
I can talk about love with you too!
By the way,
since you are not from here,
then you must have never seen this before.
These are phoenix coronet and official wedding robe.
These are what girls wear here
when they get married.
I brought these from Song State,
but I didn’t get to use any of them.
Since I won’t go through the marriage anymore,
let’s check them out.
You are so pretty!
Whoever gets to marry you
will be very lucky!
A beauty like you speaks sweetly too!
But it’s not quite convincing
hearing you compliment others’ looks!
Look at yourself! Pretty, huh?
What’s the matter?
Are you alright?
I’m fine.
I don’t know what happened.
Don’t think about it if you have a headache.
Young master, it’s a shabby place.
Sorry you have to suffer.
It’s okay.
King Gou Jian once slept on brushwood and tasted gall.
I at least have a bed
to lie on right now!
I so much want to revive Xumi,
but I don’t know how many difficulties
are upon us.
Young master.
No matter what, I’ll be on your side all the time!
I’m willing to do anything for you!
It only counts before Xiaozhu’s back.
After Xiaozhu’s back…
Xiaoli,
it’s a big bed. Why don’t you sleep on the bed?
That’s not proper!
You are the emperor!
How can I share a bed with you?
Come on! We’ve been through a lot together!
I’ve seen you as my brother for a long time!
Don’t mind the formalities!
Put your pillow here!
Come on!
Young master,
I need you to do me another favor.
Tell me.
When we get together with Ms. Yu and Xiaozhu,
could you please keep it to yourself
about what happened to me here?
Xiaozhu is such a nice girl.
I don’t want her to get the wrong idea.
It depends.
Young master!
No words when eating and sleeping.
Stop bothering me!
Thank you, ladies!
Please distribute them to the guests.
And please let me know if you hear anything about them!
Tell us who is this first,
then we’ll decide if we’ll help you!
This is my fiancée, Bai Zhu.
Who said you are allowed to get married?
Did you tell us before?
That’s right!
When she’s found,
I’ll introduce her to you for sure!
Since you said that,
we promise we’ll find her for you.
You can count on us!
Wait!
Isn’t this Ms. Yu?
Mr. Bai, you didn’t say anything when we asked you last time.
You should tell us now
what’s your relationship with Ms. Yu?
We had a wedding.
She found herself such a handsome and talented man
without telling us?!
Unbelievable!
We got married in a rush.
When I find her back,
I’ll present you wedding liquor and candies in person.
You are quite heartful!
Don’t worry! Even if you don’t ask,
we’ll still help you to find her.
I’ll have to ask her
why she kept you away from us!
But, if Ms. Yu can’t be found,
will you consider changing another one?
Ladies, don’t say that.
My young master and Ms. Yu
are meant to be together.
Don’t try to take my young master away.
You sound quite manly at this moment!
What?
You are afraid
that you’ll be replaced by Mr. Bai in our heart?
Don’t worry!
You are always the best
to us!
You are always our favorite!
Okay! Okay!
Thank you, ladies! Thank you!
Greetings to you, Your Highness!
His Royal Highness asked me to bring a message to you.
Your Highness has stayed here for quite a while.
It’s understandable that you feel bored and depressed.
But you can’t make reckless decision about the marriage.
His Majesty is just on a tour and he’ll be back soon.
Please stay here for a few more days.
After His Majesty is back,
he’ll marry you right away.
I understand now.
His Royal Highness will neither allow to terminate the engagement
nor let me out of here.
His Royal Highness has agreed to
your other requirements.
You will be served according to the palace standards.
And you can call the theatrical troupe here anytime you want.
Go back and tell your Royal Highness,
that Her Highness’s requests stay the same.
Hope His Royal Highness can seriously consider it!
As for the living standard and theatrical troupe,
we’ll accept them
since His Royal Highness is so thoughtful!
Thank you, Your Highness!
With Bai He’s attitude,
what should we do next?
Xiaoli! Snacks are gone!
We want more!
Here it comes!
Here you go!
Ladies, it’s been a few days,
and I’ve cooked a lot of snacks for you.
Have you heard anything?
Is this how you ask for a favor?
Do you know how tiring it is
to help you?
Thank you, ladies!
I just really want to find them!
It’s not that we don’t tell you,
we really haven’t heard anything yet.
We’ve sent out hundreds of pictures,
and we tried so hard to get others’ help.
But no one knows.
What else can we do?
Here, I just drew this.
Young master!
Sir, we were kidding with Xiaoli.
The capital city is huge,
let alone the whole State of Xumi.
We’ve just started.
Don’t get disappointed.
Thank you very much, ladies!
I know the situation is unstable right now.
It’s hard to find people in the crowds.
But Xiaoli and I are both faithful and determined,
we won’t give up so easily.
We appreciate your help!
Ms. Yu is our friend.
Xiaoli has been here for a long time.
We’ve seen him as our young brother.
We’ll certainly help you
not just for the sake
of your determination.
Sir, take a seat.
We’ll go out now.
Thank you very much!
So delicious!
Young master, I’ve been thinking
that what if the four of us time traveled
to different times?
Yu Yan traveled to
a different time before,
but we still ended up getting together.
But that was a peaceful world
in the modern time.
We didn’t have to worry about Yu Yan’s safety.
But the situation is different now.
No matter what we’ll do,
we can’t just sit here and wait anymore.
Young master, I suddenly remembered something.
The other day when the people of the posthouse came to order snacks,
they said that the Princess of Song State still stayed at the posthouse.
Looks like Bai He wants to detain the princess
and make her a bargaining chip when the war starts.
If we can rescue the princess,
we may be able to stop the war from happening.
Then we can ask for her help,
it’ll create bigger chance for us!
So, you mean…
Yu, just be honest to me.
What should we do next?
I just know that he wouldn’t let you go easily.
So I have a backup plan.
Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
I was afraid that you’d give it away by accident
since you are too easy-going.
Is everybody as mindful as you
in your time?
Actually, it’s the most basic
surviving rule in a working place.
I believe that you’d outsmart me
if you had a chance to
meet and work with those people.
I see that you are trying very hard
to get out of here.
Are you going to find the man you love?
Although I don’t know where he is,
I’ve got my martial arts skills back,
I believe that I’ll get my memory back soon too.
Actually, since you’ve known martial arts,
you can just get out of here alone.
They shouldn’t capture you.
No way!
You are my bosom girlfriend!
I can’t escape alone and
leave you behind.
Since you saved my life,
I promise you I’ll help you get out of here!
Set up a stage here!
And the performance will be here too!
Right here!
That’s right!
Okay! Bring the stuff in!
Okay! Okay!
Hurry up!
The clothes!
Be gentle! Be gentle!
Take that drum out!
Watch it.
Put it here! Okay!
Yes!
Be gentle!
There are so many guards here.
I’m afraid that Bai He is indeed up to no good!
Young master, what should we do?
We have no chance to take a move.
Wait till it’s dark.
Let’s do it when there are fewer guards.
Wake up!
Help!
Officer!
Stop!
Get them!
Get her!
Go!
Hurry!
Stop! Stop!
Stop! Don’t run!
Don’t you have eyes?
Are you blind?
Sorry! Sorry!
Hurry, she’s over there!
Over there!
Go!
Yan, where shall we go now?
I’m not sure.
It’s the way I’m familiar with.
Yan, what’s the matter?
Yan, let’s go.
Come with me.
Nice! Very nice drawing!
Good!
Report!
Leave us!
What happened? Why are you so nervous?
His Royal Highness! The Princess…
She escaped from the posthouse!
What?
Useless!
Search the entire city!
She must be found whatever it takes!
Yes!
Come in!
Wenqi, wait here for me.
Put this on for now.
Okay.
Sorry to disturb.
Come.
Hide here.
Don’t come out until I’m back.
Yan.
Don’t be afraid. I’ll be back soon.
Yan, be careful!
Come here, sir, please come in!
Ms.Yu!
Yu!
Ms. Yu! It’s Ms. Yu!
Come here! Come here!
It’s really Ms. Yu!
Ms. Yu!
Where have you been?
Why didn’t you say something before you left?
That’s right! We’ve been trying to find you.
You are Xialing!
You are Qiushuang!
That’s right!
Ms. Yu! Are you okay?
Something happened to me.
I’ll tell you later.
Yan, a handsome man has been looking for you
while you were gone.
Yu Yan!
It’s him!
Finally, I found you!
Ms.Yu!
So,
you’ve got your memory back!
Bastard! You’ve been lying to me!
I didn’t lie to you on purpose!
I didn’t have any chance
to explain to you!
Since we
get together now.
Give me a chance
to explain.
That’s right, Ms. Yu.
Calm down!
Young master will give you a clear explanation!
Give you a chance?
Why didn’t your father give my family a chance?
There’s nothing to be said!
Ordered by the Regent, we are here to search a criminal!
No one is allowed to leave!
Ms. Yu, let’s talk later.
You need to hide now!
Sir!
Mr. Bai, follow me!
Hurry!
Search!
Sir, hide in the closet.
Don’t come out until the soldiers leave.
Thank you!
Just hide! Hurry!
Hurry up!
This is how you use rolling pin?
Officer! Officer!
This girl is deaf and dumb.
Please forgive her!
Such a tough girl,
it’s a waste letting her cook snacks.
She should be sent to forge iron!
That’s right!
Let’s go!
Take it easy!
Ms. Yu, it’s alright!
Come on! Let it go!
Let it go!
Search carefully!
Yes!
Search under the bed too!
