[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 5 ]
Okay, sister.
I am tired. I want to rest now.
Leave me.
- Yes. - Yes.
It seems that it won't be easy to just take advantage.
Whatever. I will just deal with whatever comes.
If it's too much, I will just run away.
Young Master, why didn't you just be frank earlier?
If they just give us the person who Seventh Prince is looking for,
then Yaoling will get its reward.
Jiansheng, businessmen must maximize their profit.
Us asking Yaoling for a favor
cannot compare to having them obediently offering her to us.
My words were only half true, and he was not sure what to believe.
If he wants to make connections with a big tree like the Seventh Prince,
then he will naturally hand Hua Buqi over to us.
Young Master, a letter from Prince.
What happened, Young Master?
Father now knows about that little beggar.
He said that she might be his daughter.
He asked me to bring her home and complete his last wish.
But we've been looking everywhere, and still there is no information about that little beggar.
Master Lin came earlier to test my attitude towards that illegitimate daughter.
It's very likely that the little beggar has been caught by them and brought back to Yaoling.
I need to pay a visit to Yaoling again, and see if she is actually there.
I will decide later.
Another day has passed.
When are they going to take me to the capital?
I still have to find Mr. Zhu.
Older Sister.
Father asked you to go to the front hall. Quickly come with me.
Are we going to the capital?
I am not sure about it. Father will decide.
Young Lord Mo.
There were thieves who barged in our home a couple days ago.
My daughter also naughtily left home.
If it wasn't for Young Lord Mo searching for her in the mountains, we don't know what would have happened to her.
So today, I brought my daughter to thank you.
Thank you, Young Lord Mo.
My Lady, you have such pretty eyes.
It's just that they don't look like that madam's. Such a shame.
They don't?
Young Lord Mo, let's talk somewhere else.
Gosh, it's exhausting being a Lady.
Young Lord Mo,
Buqi looks about 70% to 80% alike to the painting.
Why did you say the opposite?
Master Lin,
even though your Yaoling is less powerful than the families in the capital, it's still very grand.
In order to manage a huge family like this, isn't it difficult?
Yaoling is limited in Xizhou, which has always been my worry.
If I can get Young Lord Mo's help,
Yaoling can then open a branch in the capital.
In the capital, the big ones like Tongji (Sailing Across Together) and Huichun (Spring Revival),
have a close relationship to the Imperial Medical Academy of the palace.
Yaoling's reputation is good in Xizhou,
but it would be difficult for it to plant its roots in the capital.
My Mo family has been running the Fangyuan (Square and Circle) Bank.
Thanks for the Seventh Prince's favor, we obtained the rights to run the Imperial Treasury.
But we don't know much... about pharmacies.
Forget it. Since Young Lord Mo has no interest in pharmacies,
I will only have to put my hopes on my adopted daughter.
Young Lord Mo said that Buqi doesn't look like the deceased madam,
then it seems that only Seventh Prince can confirm it.
Really?
To be honest, I actually have some history with the madam.
There is the character "Fei" in her name.
My name is "Ruofei."
My father named me "Ruofei" himself.
That is because he was very much in love with that madam.
The madam knew my father since they were young.
My father married my mother for some other reasons.
However, he still thinks about that madam.
To the point that when I was born,
he gave me such a name to remember her.
I never knew that Young Lord Mo had such a history
with the deceased madam.
That madam actually came to the capital to run away from a marriage.
She stayed in one of the rooms in the house of Mo.
The Seventh Prince also met her there, and fell in love.
Because my mother knew that my father still cared about that madam,
she informed the madam's family out of spite.
After her family came and took her away,
we never heard from her again.
If the Seventh Prince learns this truth,
wouldn't he blame the House of Mo?
This is why I came to Xizhou Prefecture
to look for the daughter of that madam
in order to calm the Prince's anger.
When I was five, I had met that madam in Qiushui (Autumn Waters) Pavilion.
If I am to look for her child, I surely would recognize her.
If Young Lord Mo said so,
then Buqi doesn't have such luck.
Master Lin,
it's been so many years.
No one knows if that child is alive or not.
Maybe she has died.
My deceased father used to have a deep relationship with the Seventh Prince.
I do know something about the Seventh Prince's likes and interests.
If the House of Mo found that child,
even though she is only 70% or 80% alike, with my meticulous training
and some other preparations, I have confidence she would pass.
Master Lin, I actually think that the medicine business has huge potential.
It's just that I've never found a good supplier.
If Master Lin wants to open up stores in the capital, I would like to invest some shares.
I don't know if you would like that or not?
It would be great to work with the House of Mo.
Then what about the Fifth Lady?
I would entrust Buqi to you from now on.
Master, Young Lord Mo.
Buqi, Young Lord Mo was sent by the Seventh Prince.
You are going to the capital with him in two days.
Be careful in everything. Don't be impolite to Young Lord Mo.
Yes, Master.
May I know when is Young Lord Mo going to the capital?
Tomorrow.
Fifth Lady, quickly go back and pack your things.
Yes.
Master, Young Lord Chen is here.
- Greetings, Your Highness. - Greetings, Your Highness.
Get up.
Your Highness?
What? Don't I look like one?
I am the real eldest son of the Seventh Prince.
Didn't you say you were coming to the capital with me, little beggar?
I asked Shi to look for you for a long time. Where did you go?
No need. No need.
Young Lord Mo will be taking me to the capital. There is no need to trouble Your Highness.
Yishan, you are taking her back to the capital?
Fifth Lady has never traveled far.
She heard that the capital is very bustling, so she asked me to take her.
I also find the trip boring,
so I would love to be in her company.
Little beggar, since when are you Fifth Lady?
Oh, I know.
Master Lin thinks that she looks a lot like my Royal Father's illegitimate daughter,
so you adopted her as Fifth Lady.
So is Yishan. That's why, you are taking her back to the capital.
Forgive me, Your Highness. I've only heard rumors.
It's just that Buqi is very clever, so I adopted her.
Please clearly investigate it, Your Highness.
Get up.
Why panic? I am just here to tell you all that you got the wrong person.
I knew this little beggar before you guys did.
Also, I've investigated her a long time ago.
She is definitely not the bastard of my Royal Father.
You've misunderstood, Your Highness.
I was only taking her to the capital for sight-seeing.
There isn't more to it.
Okay.
Since you want to take her with you,
then go take her.
Anyway, I'm too lazy to take her back to the capital with me.
But Yishan, I have to remind you this.
You will need to be really careful for your safety on your way back.
Don't suffer a double loss after tricking your enemy.
Thank you for your kind reminder, Your Highness.

Young Master, why did you say she is not the Prince's daughter earlier?
First of all: I don't want to take her to the capital.
Secondly:
in these past days here in Xizhou,
although not many know about my real identity, there are still a few of them who do.
If she goes back to the capital with me, it would be too obvious and not safe.
Thirdly:
I was threatening him a little bit when I was talking to him.
Mo Ruofei would surely be vigilant.
It would then be safer for that bastard.
But...
you said you don't want the Prince to find his daughter.
Not anyone can go to the capital.
A little beggar getting sent into the royal manor of a prince
and she already thinks she can become royalty?
Consort Fei and the others
would eat her alive.
Let's go pack. We are going back to the capital tomorrow.
Young Master, don't tell me you are thinking about protecting them secretly.
I am done playing, and I want to go back to the capital. Why would I protect them?
Young Master, are we still investigating Yaoling?
Since we know that Yaoling are related to the mobsters,
should we report them to the government and get rid of them at once?
No, the Emperor suspects Father will overthrow him,
and he suspects me, too.
That's why I have to pretend to be a playboy.
Investigating a case is not something a playboy would do.
Also, the background of Yaoling is still unclear.
I will send Han Ye here to investigate.
Once the time is right,
we will catch them all.
My Lady, the soup is here.
Just put it there.
Why are you still packing those beggar's clothes?
Master has said that since your status has changed,
you should forget about the past.
Master is right.
Go tell him that
I want to pay respect to my Uncle Jiu's grave.
After that, I will forget about the past.
Yes.
My Lady, is it here?
Why did she take us to this god forsaken place?
Uncle Jiu's grave is just up ahead.
Be careful not to step on dead people's bones.
Poor people don't have money, so they just roll the dead people in a straw mat and have the crow eat the flesh.
Therefore, there are dead people's bones everywhere.
Forget it, I will just go by myself.
I told you not to follow me.
My Lady, Master asked me to protect you
and to not let you leave my sight.
Relax. There is nowhere for me to hide here.
Also, you have so many people who even know martial arts.
It would be really easy to catch me.
Forgive me, My Lady. These are Master's orders.
If I want to say some secrets to Uncle Jiu, will you report all of it to Master, too?
I wouldn't dare.
Also,
Master is letting me go to the capital to have a luxurious life.
Why would I run away?
Uncle Jiu,
can you see it?
I'm now a Lady.
Today, I rode a horse carriage and
brought maids here with me.
The House of Lin wants me to forget my identity,
and to really portray myself as a rich lady.
In my trip to the capital this time,
I am afraid that I won't be able to come back and visit you anymore.
Having Huang to keep you company would make you less lonely.
Have you seen Ah Huang?
Don't worry, Uncle Jiu.
I never forgot what you told me.
I will go to the capital and find the Xingyuan Pawnshop in the south lane,
and ask Mr. Zhu about my background.
Uncle Jiu...
I miss you so much.
Don't worry.
Once I figure out my identity,
I will bury you property in the capital,
so you can be with your ancestors.
My Lady, what took you so long?
He was just a beggar.
You cold?
- Why didn't you go inside the carriage and rest? - I wouldn't dare.
After today,
I will no longer be the beggar girl.
If you don't want to serve me,
I will tell Master when we get back
and ask for a new one.
Please forgive me.
Since you understand, I will make things clear.
I don't have a choice and neither do you.
But today, I am the Lady of the house,
you are the maids.
Let's just all do our jobs.
Go back to the manor!
My Lady.
What are you guys doing? Prop yourself up! Go back to the manor!
[Apricot Forest Brings Spring Warmth]
I'm entrusting Buqi to you then, Young Lord Mo.
Don't worry, Master Lin. I will surely not disappoint your trust.
Buqi, once you are in the capital, you must listen to everything that Young Lord Mo says.
A wonderful future is waiting for you ahead.
Don't forget Yaoling.
Don't worry, Master.
I am not the ungrateful kind.
Please take care of yourself, Master.
We shouldn't attract more attention.
I will just walk you two up to here.
Please.
[Inn]
Take care, Sirs. See you next time.
Isn't that the one who entered the carriage the lady who First Miss wanted to kill?
- Quick, let's report this to her. - Let's go.
Teacher.
Is it good or bad news this time?
That old man from Yaoling is ganging up with Mo Ruofei.
He found Xue Fei's daughter and didn't hand her to us.
He instead handed her to Mo Ruofei, so he could take her to the capital.
How dare he gang up with the House of Mo?
It looks like they've been planning on betraying us. Teacher. How should we deal with them?
Those who betray Mingyue, have to die.
Don't do anything yet. I will slowly send people to takeover Yaoling.
And then I will execute Lin Mantang.
Yes.
Now, Mo Ruofei is taking that bastard with him,
which could be an opportunity to us.
If the bastard dies under Mo Ruofei's protection,
the Seventh Prince will not let the House of Mo get away with this.
Presently, the House of Mo is being supported by Mo Ruofei alone.
If he dies,
the House of Mo is through.
Don't worry, Teacher. I've already arranged people outside the Tianmen (Heaven's Gate) Pass to ambush them.
Send more people.
We will have to succeed this time. If you kill all of them, I will pass on the position of Mingyue's leader
to you.
Thank you, Teacher.
The day will be dark in two hours. Let's rest in the next town. I will get you better things to eat.
Okay.
I'm so full.
So being full feels like this.
I'm coming.
Young Lord Mo!
I just had Jiansheng buy these hawthorns. They can help you digest.
You still can't get rid of your bad beggar habits.
You stuff everything you see into your stomach. There will be more good food to eat in the future. Don't ruin your stomach just yet.
Don't worry, Young Lord Mo. I am a beggar, and I have put all kinds of things inside my belly. It's made of iron now.
The night is so long and so boring.
Young Lord Mo, is there anything you do for fun?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki
Where is it? Guess.
It's right here.
It's now in your chest.
Your hand skills are good. Where did you learn them from?
Don't forget I was a beggar.
Sometimes, we couldn't find anything to eat for two to three days. Uncle Jiu was a very stubborn man.
I was really afraid that we would die from starvation.
So I learned a thing or two from other beggars.
But I've never used them.
Listen to me, and I will make you a princess, so you don't have to live that kind of hard life anymore.
Princess?
If I really become a princess,
wouldn't I have so many delicious foods to eat and expensive silks to wear?
Thank you for your help, Young Lord Mo! You really got me a golden alms bowl.
It's good enough that you know to be grateful. Okay already.
Let's not think about the past. Let me see what else you got.
I will close my eyes and have the oranges in my hands. Let's see if you can get them.
How could I?
The night is long. Didn't you say it was so boring?
Also, there is no other things to play with in this room, right?
Here. As long as you can get the oranges from my hand, I will give you a reward.
Five oranges, five golden leaves.
I get one, you give me one.
I want to have some savings, is that okay?
You greedy or something?
I am just afraid of being poor.
Okay. Deal. Let's do this.
You are good.
You are quite clever.
Even though you said that you'd keep your eyes close,
the oranges are still in your hand. So I opened the windows
and let the wind outside distract you. And I just pulled a piece of hair and made you sneeze.
Once you sneeze, your body will have to move, so I'll have my opportunity.
But you have to remember this.
In going to the capital this time, you become a princess. Don't show people trifle tricks like this.
Yes, Young Lord.
Three golden leaves. Thank you, Young Lord.
All these golden leaves are yours.
Don't regret it.
I will not. Don't worry.
Right, do you still have the alms bowl and beggar outfits in your bag?
Young Lord,
Uncle Jiu was the one who raised me. That alms bowl is my only remembrance of him.
Can I keep it?
I will not show others.
Silly girl.
I was only asking. I didn't ask you to toss it away.
Also, it's better if you have it.
Once the Seventh Prince sees that broken bowl of yours,
he would feel that you've suffered much outside, so he will dote on you more.
If that's so, I still have my beggar's outfit in my bag.
Should I wear it when I see the Seventh Prince?
But Young Lord,
that dog-ass Heir Apparent looked very mean.
Will he pick on me?
Next time, do not ever say that in front of others.
That will get you killed.
I know. I am not stupid.
I am only saying it to you.
Heir Apparent may seem like a playboy on the surface,
but based on my interaction with him, he isn't a person who does things out of line. You don't have to worry.
Really?
The Prince still has the final say in the royal manor.
Since the Prince tried everything to find you, he will definitely protect you once you are in his manor.
Don't worry.
I hope so.
Anyway, unless it's absolutely necessary,
I will definitely not have interaction with that dog-ass Heir Apparent again.
You are doing it again.

Young Master, we are now at the Tianmen Pass. The capital is just ahead of us.
Wow, Young Lord Mo,
it's so pretty here.
Can we stop for a second?
We are almost at the capital. It's better that we don't.
Jiansheng, did you send the letter back home?
Young Master, I already did. Don't worry. The guards are on their way.
Run! Run!

- Brother Lotus Robe Knight! - Quickly run.
- The alms bowl! I need to go back and get it! - You will be killed if you go back!
- Let's get it next time! - No!
Go after them!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki
Young Master!
Young Lord Mo!
Quickly take her away! Hurry! Take her away!
Jiansheng, we are probably going to die here.
Kill them!
Young Master, our reinforcement is here.
Young Master!
Brother Lotus Robe Knight, your wound needs to be treated with this Gold Sore Powder, so it won't leave a scar. Here.
It's only a small wound. No need to trouble yourself.
What do you mean trouble? Having a scar on your face is not pretty. Don't believe those storytellers.
They say that scars on a man's face mean courage.
That's for kids. It's better to not have any scars on your face—
Really, there is no need.
Do you think my medicine won't work, or you find it dirty?
Relax, I've been on the streets for many years. I was either chased by dogs or by people.
I had so many wounds. It's all thanks to this medicine that I was able to survive.
It definitely works!
Then just give me the medicine. I will do it myself.
- I will help you. - There's really no need for that.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight,
don't tell me you are that kind of man who would have a lady marry you once they saw your true face.
You are joking, Miss.
My name is not "Miss." My name is Hua Buqi.
You can call me Buqi. This is our fourth time seeing each other.
It would be so unfriendly if you kept calling me "Miss."
Give me the medicine, Miss.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight, I have a question for you.
Go ahead.
Every time I am in trouble, you are always there to rescue me.
The first two times could be coincidental.
But this is the third time.
Don't tell me you are following me,
because you fell in love with me.
I was only following the criminals and saved Miss in passing.
It isn't Miss. It's Buqi.
Tell me. After being Lotus Robe Knight for so long,
when have you saved anyone three times?
No one really.
So,
I am the first one. Right?
What is this called? It's called fate!
You saved me so many times. What's the matter of me helping you apply some medicine?
Men and women shouldn't be this intimate.
What intimate?
You've had me in your arms many times.
It seems that you don't like others seeing your face.
I thought it would be safer to be with Young Lord Mo.
Who knew I would endanger his life instead?
Whatever. For the sake of Young Lord Mo's safety,
it's better for me not to be around him.
Miss.
You said you are going to the capital to look for your family. Did you mean the Seventh Prince?
I don't know.
My Uncle Jiu wasn't clear about it.
Maybe it's him.
Hey, Brother Lotus Robe Knight,
you are so good at fighting. Why don't you take me to the capital?
I will not do that.
Buqi!
Hua Buqi!
I am here! Here!
Brother Lotus Robe Knight.
Farewell.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight!
Hua Buqi!
Young Lord Mo!
Are you all right?
No!
What are you doing?
Are you crazy? You'd rather get killed over this shitty bowl?
What shitty bowl?
Without it, how could you have drunk warm water?
The thing you don't value is my precious treasure!
Just because you have a pretty face and a wealthy family,
you don't already understand the feelings of a poor person?
Don't forget, you are using me to kiss up to the Seventh Prince.
That's right. I did get you involved in an assassination, but I will pay you back.
I will never owe you!
Buqi, I'm sorry.
I apologize to you. I was too agitated.
When we get back,
I will get you a golden bowl. How's that?
I'm not interested.
Buqi,
we will be in the capital soon. You will be the a princess soon.
Just go back with me.
- Young Master! Young Master! - My Lord! My Lord!
- Young Master! - Young Lord Mo!
- Get out of here! - Young Master,
- how do you feel? - I'm warning you!
If anything bad happens to my Young Master,
I will have you pay for it with your life. Let's go back to the manor!
