[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 13 ]
How could you give the Emperor's gift to that slut?
What do you know? Also, I am the Prince.
It's none of your business who I give it to!
Liu Qingwu now is definitely
waiting for me to go to her.
If I go now, I will be manipulated by her.
Your Highness.
Mingyue Villa's master, Liu Mingyue, asked to see you.
She said that she has a way to wake the Prince up.
Even the royal physicians don't know what to do with the Prince's sickness,
but a businesswoman like you knows what to do?
Your Highness came to me before and asked my daughter, Qingwu,
to dance for the Prince like last time.
I didn't know that the Prince was this sick;
or else, I would've come with her.
I was useless and wasn't able to help much.
But my mother has toured the world and met all kinds of talented people.
She learned how to heal people during that time.
Since I haven't practiced my medical skills for very long,
I am not sure if I can help the Prince.
However, I still came to sincerely help.
How confident are you on curing my Royal Father, Master Liu?
I will have to see him in person first, then I would know.
Your Highness, the Prince's sickness can't be left untreated any longer.
Even the royal physicians from the palace can't do anything about it.
Why not let me try?
Follow me.
- Royal Father! - Your Highness!
Your Highness.
Your Highness, the Prince only recovered part of his senses.
I will need to continue doing acupuncture on him for him to fully recover.
Leave us.
Yes.
Your Highness' love is so deep, which is admirable.
Just one dance number can make Your Highness this sick
and not able to speak.
I want you to recover more than anyone else.
I will only stop worrying
once you are healed.
Liu Mingyue, you are...
No need to be nervous, Your Highness. I meant no harm.
The Heir Apparent asked my daughter, Qingwu, to come here and dance for Your Highness.
Even that couldn't bring Your Highness back to your feet.
I then had to come uninvited in person.
I can use needles to stimulate the pressure points
and unclog your veins,
so Your Highness can function like normal.
But once the needle is in,
the needle will go around your veins.
Once it goes to Your Highness's heart, Your Highness can't stay alive.
It would probably last you only three or four months.
Will Your Highness agree to this?
You...
What's your condition?
I thought Your Highness would come negotiate with me
once you saw the dance
which would have been easier for us.
Who knew that Your Highness was sick in bed.
The Emperor ordered the Heir Apparent to take charge of the Imperial Treasury.
The bidding will start in ten days.
Even though the Heir Apparent will not favor the Mo Manor,
I am still not very relaxed.
What do you really want?
I want the Zhu Manor to replace Mo Manor
for the right to run the Imperial Treasury.
Why not your Mingyue Villa?
Not only do I want the rights to run the Imperial Treasury,
I also want to win the bidding for the palace china and the incense.
In this case, we won't have enough silver,
so we decided to work with the Zhu Manor,
and have them get the rights of running the Imperial Treasury for us.
That's it?
Don't worry, Your Highness.
I have some private grudges with the Mo Manor.
I will not burden Your Highness.
Being healthy for a few months can't even convince you.
Let me see what else can convince Your Highness.
Your Highness,
would you like to see Xue Fei?
She didn't die?
Xue Fei died a long time ago.
Then what are you asking me to see?
I can't see my Fei'er anymore.
Doesn't Your Highness want to see her body?
There is a thing called Beauty Keeping Pill.
It can make sure that a dead body stays fresh.
This Beauty Keeping Pill
is now in Xue Fei's mouth.
How are you related to her?
How do you know where she is?
If I don't tell Your Highness the reason behind all these things,
Your Highness will always doubt me.
Whatever, I wasn't planning on visiting old memories.
Since Your Highness wants to know, I will tell you.
The House of Xue not only has one Miss Xue.
I am Xue Fei's sister from a different mother.
But my mother was a servant. Her status was very low.
I heard that the Xue Manor
had a big fire, which killed everyone.
Xue Fei went missing.
Even though Xue Fei and I are sisters,
I didn't have the luck of being born a lady.
The Madam took me to the temple once I was born.
I learned martial arts out of coincidence.
When the Xue Manor caught fire,
I missed it out of luck,
and also got to know the truth of the fire.
The truth.
Tell me, who sent you?
It wasn't an accident?
Accident?
Your Highness has been used to the political games of the court,
and yet you still believe that could have been an accident?
It was the Madam Mo from Mo Manor
who killed everyone in the Xue Manor out of jealousy and hatred.
I don't hate her for killing everyone in Xue Manor,
but she didn't even let go of my poor mother.
Tell me. Shouldn't I seek revenge from Mo Manor?
Do you have evidence?
Even if there was evidence,
I don't want to fight it in court.
I want to destroy Mo Manor myself.
Okay. If Mo Manor was really behind
the killing of Xue Fei,
I promise you
that I will not let them get the rights to run the Imperial Treasury.
Don't worry.
As long as Your Highness keeps your promise,
I will do what Your Highness wishes.
I am putting the needle in now.
The Prince is awake now. You may go in.
Royal Father! Royal Father!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
You are finally awake. I was worried sick.
Yu'er, I can see you again.
Stop talking. It's good that you are awake.
- Royal Father... - Since Your Highness' condition has gotten better, I will stop bothering you.
I will take my daughter back and start our preparations for the bidding.
Since Master Liu is busy, I shall not keep you.
- Yu'er, walk my savior out for me. - Yes.
- Your Highness. - I'm a little tired. Let me rest.
- Your Highness, let me stay and take care of you. - Fu will be enough.
- Your Highness. - Royal Concubine Gan.
- Ah Fu. - Your Highness.
I only have four months to live.
Your Highness.
Mingyue Villa became one of the top four families
within twenty years.
Other than Liu Mingyue's intelligence,
I think there is another mysterious force that has been helping her.
Liu Mingyue has told me that
she has a special relationship with Xue Fei.
I think...
maybe she has something to do with Biluotian.
- Ah Fu. - Your Highness.
Investigate her thoroughly.
Yes.
Your Highness.
Thank you, Master Liu.
If there is anything I can help in the future, just ask.
Your Highness, you are being too courteous.
This happened because of Qingwu's dance.
Helping with the treatment is part of my duty.
Now that the Prince has recovered, he still shouldn't tire himself.
The bidding still needs Your Highness to be in charge.
Even though I have participated in the bidding many times, I am still worried.
I hope that in the future, we can be closer
so I can stop worrying.
There is no need to worry, Master Liu. As long as there are no scandals,
the Emperor would not say anything, even if the price is raised a bit.
Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave.
Goodbye.
So what Mingyue Villa is gunning for is to win the bidding.
Stop the carriage.
Get out.
- Master? - Useless piece of garbage.
You failed every mission, and you are still in my carriage?
Get out!
Royal Father, you have just recovered. Don't stand for too long.
Let's go sit over there.
People only know the value of things once they have lost them.
You know the importance of being healthy when you are sick.
Look at me. I've been laying in bed for several days,
but my brain is working very well.
Yu'er, you would not know how torturous it was.
Now that I can finally walk, let's not sit down.
Royal Father, when it's time to sit, you need to sit.
Okay. I'll sit, as you wish.
Or else, the losses would be more than the gains.
For you to have recovered this time, people in the manor have never been this happy.
Royal Father, you really need to take care of yourself.
That Liu Mingyue is indeed an outstanding person.
Not only did she build the Mingyue Villa in such a short time, but she also knows how to treat sicknesses.
Royal Father, I am very curious as to how she cured you.
What's her relationship with Xue Fei?
How did you know that she was related to Xue Fei?
Before you fell into a coma, you mentioned it to my teacher.
Liu Qingwu's dance was choreographed by Xue Fei for you.
Then this should only be known by you and Xue Fei. How did she know this?
Also, Mingyue Villa decided to use this dance on the Lantern Festival, which had an obvious purpose.
Was it only for the government bidding?
Liu Mingyue and Xue Fei are sisters from different mothers.
That's how Liu Mingyue knows about the dance.
It was indeed for winning the bid to run the Imperial Treasury.
in order to attract my attention, she had that dance deliberately performed.
There's something else I don't understand.
It's obvious that they didn't expect you to fall into a coma;
hence, this dance was only to lure you to go talk to them.
What do they plan to use to negotiate with you?
Don't tell me that they know where Xue Fei is.
Yu'er, you peeled layers and layers of the disguise
and came up with the right answer. Why do you need me to answer it still?
Father, you saw Xue Fei die right in front of you.
Why didn't you bring her body back?
But once the needle gets in,
the needle will go around Your Highness's veins.
Once it gets to the heart, Your Highness can't stay alive.
It will probably last you three or four months.
Leave us.
Yu'er,
let me take a good look at you.
It's so fast.
When you were just born,
I could hold you with one hand.
I couldn't get tired of looking at you.
All of a sudden, you are now a grown up.
I'm old, but when I look at you,
you remind me of your mother who passed away.
Royal Mother was gentle and virtuous.
I also think of her often.
Right, tomorrow is the anniversary of the day that your mother passed.
- Have you prepared all the offerings needs? - Everything is prepared.
Good.
Yu'er, now the manor only has two men,
you and I.
What I'm about to say next is just man to man.
You need to listen to me. Even though, right now,
I have temporarily recovered my health.
But we can't be sure when I'll get bed-ridden again and severely sick.
After having this severe illness, I feel that...
I need to tell you certain things sooner.
Or else, I am afraid, it would be too late.
Yu'er,
the Emperor and I
are both sons of the former emperor, but...
there will only be one person among the imperial bloodline
that will be sitting on that chair to run the empire.
There shall be only one person who can emit
his resolute voice of deciding a person's life or death in that Jinluan (Golden Imperial) Palace Hall.
I was only an observant on the court.
I can't even sigh.
After the meetings, I needed to be extremely careful when
I talked about my opinions with those officials, because I was afraid.
I needed to prevent myself from being seen as part of an alliance.
This big city capital is like a huge prison, locking me in.
Only I know these sufferings.
So, I will not let you follow my steps.
Don't worry, Father. Once the bidding is over,
I would like to travel the world, and not limit myself in the capital.
I don't want you to
become an idle traveling Prince.
Yu'er,
do you still not understand what I mean?
Also, Buqi must live in our manor.
Why does she have to stay in the manor?
You will understand in the future.
Okay already.
Go get busy with the state treasury
and your mother's death anniversary.
Royal Father,
is there anything else that you aren't telling me?
Are you afraid that I will have misgivings toward Buqi?
I know that it wasn't her fault.
I know it very well in my heart.
Royal Father, I...
Yu'er, go do your thing.
I am a bit tired. Let me rest.
I will take my leave.
Your Highness.
Anything new on Mingyue Villa?
Nothing for now.
This woman does have methods.
I'm actually getting manipulated by her.
But I will take back control very soon.
Your Highness, have you told Yu'er about that thing?
How could I tell him that much?
The Emperor is currently
monitoring the two of us very closely.
I am afraid that he will be impulsive and ruin our plan.
I only wish that he can leave the capital as soon as possible,
claim to be a king in his fief, and find the treasures of Biluotian.
Build an army and overthrow the Emperor.
But, in order for those to come true,
we will need to trade it with my life.
Understood.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Liu Mingyue has cured the Seventh Prince
and is gunning for the rights to run the Imperial Treasury.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, I want you to do me a favor.
May I go back to Mo Manor on the day of the Princess Consort's death anniversary,
and stay there overnight?
Go back to Mo Manor?
I haven't visited Mo Manor for a while. I miss Eldest Brother Mo.
The Prince is also getting better.
You wouldn't want me casually walking around during the death anniversary of Princess Consort, right?
Why not just let me go back to Mo Manor and visit Eldest Brother Mo?
At least, I won't annoy you.
Since when did you become this thoughtful?
Okay. Go ahead.
I also don't want to see you during my mother's death anniversary.
- Right. Right. - Come back only after the offering ceremony.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Royal Mother,
Buqi became a beggar when she was little.
I don't want her to keep suffering.
Let her stay in the manor.
Move all these into the carriage.
Be careful. These are gifts for Eldest Brother Mo. Don't drop them.
Yes.
I am going to the ranch on the west.
Ah Lang, you go familiarize yourself with the situation of the small ranches around the capital.
Wait for my message.
Yishan, watch him for me, so he won't make any more mistakes!
Don't worry, Uncle. Nothing will go wrong in my presence.
Dad, I grew up on top of horses.
I know horses better than anyone.
You do know horses, but do you know how to do business?
Learn from Yishan!
Don't be so arrogant all the time!
Understood, Dad. Also, Yun Qi is here.
Nothing will go wrong.
That would be great! See you!
- Goodbye. - Take care, Dad.

Cousin, why aren't you going in?
Buqi sent someone to bring me a message last night,
saying that she will stay in the Mo Manor for tonight.
Looking at the time, she should be here any moment.
Oh, right, Ah Lang.
Have you had the chance to apologize to Buqi yet?
Yun Qi, let's go discuss our plan, so we won't be clueless.
Let's go.
I heard that Buqi is doing well in the Prince Manor.
She and the Heir Apparent are getting along quite well.
That doesn't sound like her.
I worry if she has been bullied.
Young Master, do you think Lady is someone who can be bullied?
She is here! Y-Y-Young Master...
My Lady!
No need.
- Buqi! - Eldest Brother!
I prepared a feast for you. They are all your favorites.
Really? I want chicken legs.
I bought all the chicken legs in the capital.
- Eat, Buqi. - Will do.
Eldest Brother, do you know that
in the Prince Manor, I didn't have anything to eat in the beginning.
And then afterwards, I was afraid that Concubine Gan would try to poison me,
so I was afraid to eat and drink.
I didn't even dare to say anything.
It's so suffocating.
But you got chubbier.
You stole food, didn't you?
You know me the best.
There are people watching me during the day,
but who can lock me up during the night?
Finding food is so easy.
You need to take it easy.
These are all yours. No one's fighting you for them.
Eldest Brother, have a bite.
Right, Buqi! In going to the Prince Manor this time,
although you weren't the one who cured the Prince's sickness,
you still have contributed.
The Prince hasn't acknowledged that you are his daughter,
then you are still the Second Lady of Mo Manor.
This contribution can be counted as ours, too.
Tell me. What reward would you like?
Reward?
Let me think.
After stealing oranges from you, I got more than ten golden leaves.
With such a huge contribution, at the very least, it should be...
one thousand taels. Right?
You are such a moneygrabber.
Okay, I promise you. You are my sister after all.
Eldest Brother, I just randomly said an amount.
You are really okay with it?
You are so good to me!
Young Master.
This is the soup that Madam instructed that you must drink.
Drink it while it's warm.
I should call you the Second Lady of Mo Manor.
Buqi, what's wrong?
Nothing. Nothing.
Eldest Brother, I am too full again.
Could you accompany me for a walk in the backyard?
Okay.
I've been working on the bidding these past days, so I haven't been walking much, too.
Let's go.
The government bidding is almost here.
Buqi, you've been here for almost half a year.
I remember when you first moved into the Mo Manor,
you were just a girl who knew nothing.
Look at you now. You look like a real lady.
You are mocking me again!
It's just that even if the capital is very big,
I can't go to many places.
I can only be in either the Prince Manor or Mo Manor.
If you are bored, you can go out.
As long as you don't go out that many times and go crazy,
the Prince and the Heir Apparent won't stop you.
I hope so.
Right, when did you change your personal servant?
Are you talking about Qing'er?
You don't remember? When you fell from the dragon tower
on New Year's Eve, it was Qing'er who caught you.
After that, lots of things happened in Mo Manor,
so I forgot to tell you.
This servant has always been around you and never left?
That's weird.
What?
Eldest Brother, do you remember that I told you during the Lantern Festival
that I suspect Liu Qingwu
being the person who tried to kill us in Xizhou and Tianmen Pass?
I saw her in the Seventh Prince Manor,
and I saw that she has the same mark as my killers.
She is indeed that assassin.
And this Qing'er looks too similar with Liu Qingwu.
Buqi, I underestimated you.
Don't worry. I've long been alarmed.
I keep her by my side for other purposes.
As long as you know, then it's fine.
Then, I will go find Xiuchun. I brought her a gift.
Go ahead.
Come out!
Cousin!
The honorable Young Master of Feiyun Fortress
doesn't have the courage to bring the bramble and ask for punishment for his wrong doing. Instead you're hiding in a corner eavesdropping.
- What kind of ability is that? - I ...
I just coincidentally passed by.
Then, how have you settled that matter of yours?
It is all settled. After all, the quality of all the horses around the capital city is inferior to that of Feiyun Fortress.
And they are sold at a higher price. The less we buy from them, the better.
Not bad at all. You know how to plan meticulously and budget carefully.
Right, Ah Lang, do you really not intend to apologize to Buqi?
Who says I'm not going to apologize?
I just haven't come up with a good way to do it yet, that's all.
Then think about it carefully. I'm leaving.
Xiuchun!
Lady! Lady! You're back!
I'm back!
How is your life in the Prince Manor?
It's all right.
Since you left, Young Master instructed me to guard this courtyard all by myself.
I don't even have anyone to talk with. I'm bored to death!
All by yourself? Such a poor thing!
Is the Prince Manor very beautiful? Very big?
It is quite big.
But... let's not talk about it!
And you're looking great!
Quickly! Quickly! Be swift in your work!
Be careful!
Slowly, slowly.
Right, right, right.
Okay! Okay!
- Move a little back here, a little back here. - Young Master's Cousin, this is ...
This lantern is really beautiful!
Younger Sister Buqi.
The Lantern Festival is already over for some time now.
There's someone who keeps remembering it still.
Didn't you release any lanterns when you were young?
I heard from cousin that you like them.
I prepared all these especially for you.
Do you like them?
You are being solicitous for no apparent reason. You must be hiding evil intentions.
What do you really want?
I was being insensible that time. I was too discourteous towards you.
Cousin has already reprimanded me for it.
Actually, I wanted to go to the Prince Manor to apologize to you,
but then I thought about the fact that the Prince has been unwell for a long time,
so all of this while I didn't go there.
Since you happened to come home today, I had them especially arrange these lanterns
to serve as my apology to you.
There's no need to. Don't trouble me ever again in the future.
That is the best apology.
Lady! Lady!
Young Sister Buqi, I really did not kill your Huang.
Please believe me.
What are you looking at? Hang the lanterns up quickly!
[Mo Manor]
I will be passing Chaoan Street when I return to the Prince's Manor tomorrow.
There are so many people on Chaoan Street. I should be able to make a smooth escape
and go to Xingyuan Pawnshop.
Uncle Jiu, you must bless me that I'll be able to meet Mr. Zhu.
Lady! Lady! Come and look quickly! Young Master's Cousin has finished setting up the lanterns!
What bribes have you accepted from him? Why are you speaking on his behalf like that?
Okay. It looks like Young Master's Cousin has done all these in vain.
I shall just close the door.
Lady, Young Master's Cousin
spent the entire afternoon hanging all these lanterns up.
Didn't he just get blown by the wind for an afternoon?
My Huang has kept me company for countless cold nights.
Xiuchun, close the door!
There's nothing nice to look at. It's a little cold when the wind blows inside.
A young lady sitting in the middle of the pond.
She's wearing a pink coat matched with a green silk skirt.
She looks very beautiful.
Guess a type of flower. The one who gets it right will be awarded a leaf of money.
Is the young lady inside the house able to guess it?
- Young Master's Cousin, it's... lotus. - [Lotus (mouthed)]
Clever!
Round, round, red jar covered with a round lid.
Sweet honey water filled the jar to its brim.
Guess a type of fruit. The person who gets it right will get a leaf of money.
- Young Master's Cousin, it's a persimmon! - [Persimmon (mouthed)]
Not bad!
We shall continue with our next riddle. The person who gets it right
will be awarded a pair of candy figurines.
A pumpkin which is empty on both ends. Flowers are blossoming brightly in its stomach.
It's a fruit without any leaves hanging up high. Covering everything in bright red in front of you.
Guess an object. If Younger Sister Buqi has not gone to bed yet,
you can trying guessing, too.
Aren't these the lanterns in the courtyard?
Young Sister Buqi is really smart!
Okay, this pair of candied figurines belong to Younger Sister Buqi now.
It's getting late. When Younger Sister Buqi has eaten them, you should rest early.
Lady, I'll get you the candied figurines.
- Here. - Thank you, Cousin Young Master.
Lady, so the reason Young Master's Cousin is this solicitous is because he offended you.
He's coming up with so many ways just to apologize to you.
It actually looks like a little person apologizing to another little person.
This rascal, he is well-intended after all.
Huang, he has already apologized.
And he really looked very honest when he said he didn't kill you.
You... probably were not killed by him, right?
Why don't we forgive that little thief?
I will leave Mo Manor before long.
Having one more friend is better than having one more enemy.
Don't you think so?
Don't you know that money is what I love most?
If you have the mind to do all these, why not just give me the money directly?
Here!
Younger Sister Buqi made the right guess about the lanterns just now. There's a reward of thirty taels of silver for you.
Will Younger Sister Buqi please accept it?
All right then. Since you are so sincere about it,
and on the account that you saved my life once before,
and on the account of these thirty taels of silver, I will forgive you for the time being.
Thank you, Younger Sister Buqi.
But you can't be so discourteous with me anymore in the future.
Yes!
I'm tired!
Stop the carriage!
Here, have a look at this.
Lady, what is it?
I didn't like what I bought previously.
I'll just go exchange it.
No, no! His Highness has instructed that My Lady can't be allowed to be seen in public.
Please allow me to exchange it for you.
What if I don't like the thing that you've exchanged for me?
Don't worry. I'm not so well known in the capital city.
Let the horse carriage stop a little further away. It will not be so eye-catching then.
His Highness will not find out about this.
- My Lady! - My Lady!
Someone stole my money!
Come and get some money!
My Lady!
