[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 16 ]
I hope that this matter was not carried out by your Mo Manor.
I truly don't hope that your Mo Manor will be destroyed by me.
Thank you, Your Highness. My mother definitely didn't do this.
I don't know who was lying about it.
Please do tell. I would like to confront him in person.
It was Liu Mingyue.
Liu Mingyue told me in person
when she was treating me.
Mingyue Villa is up to no good. You must not believe her lies!
Have you forgotten? They tried to assassinate Buqi!
Liu Qingwu has still not been found!
That matter still hasn't been clearly investigated.
Don't mention it anymore. Of course,
I am not going to just believe in her one-sided story.
However, she used curing me as a condition,
and asked for the right to run the Imperial Treasury.
I've promised her that already.
Your Highness!
Yishan, don't worry. If Liu Mingyue thinks
I can be manipulated by her,
she is wrong.
I am not going to let her have the rights easily.
Your Highness is brilliant. If there is anything I can do, just tell me.
I will surely do my best to do it until I die trying.
I want you to stake all of Mo Manor's assets
and raise the price. I want you to exhaust
all of Liu Mingyue's silver on hand.
I was useless, and I can't get the right to run the Imperial Treasury this time.
But please be at ease, my ancestors,
I will surely bring the House of Mo to success. There will be a day
that I am not only going to be of merchant status,
but also be in court, so other government officials can't bully us.
I will surely turn the House of Mo
into an invincible state.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight!
Xiuchun.
Xiuchun!
Brother Lotus Robe Knight.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight!
You were already here,
and you even quietly lit the light.
Why won't you see me again?
I know you are here because you are worrying about my health.
My guess is...
you like me, too, right?
Or else, why must you...
avoid me,
but you can't resist coming back to check on me?
I know you are still here!
The light was just lit up.
If you don't come out,
I am going to keep waiting here.
I am a stubborn person.
I threw a tantrum when I was little,
and I didn't talk to Uncle Jiu for two days.
Uncle Jiu had to pretend to be sick
in order for me to talk to him.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight,
you finally showed up.
If you didn't show up sooner,
I was going to pass out.
You are weak. You shouldn't torment yourself like this.
I had no other ways.
I like you.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight,
you like me as well, don't you?
I am only worrying about you.
Why don't you admit that you like me, too?
I really like you.
The wind is cold at night. You should go back to your room.
That's impossible. I must be making a mistake.
Maybe all the martial artists
easily get injured on that same spot.
It must be that.
The lantern. Where is my lantern?
The lantern is old, so throw it away.
Old things should eventually get thrown away.
Old things are like people in your past.
Uncle Jiu,
Cousin,
and Eldest Brother.
I can't casually throw away any of them.
Only I am like duckweed,
floating in Mo Manor for a while,
then in the Prince Manor for a while.
Maybe one day, I can't stay in either places.
You are still recovering, so stop overthinking.
Get a good rest.
No one is throwing you away.
I promise you, once you have fully recovered,
I will visit you again. Rest well.
Last time, you said that you'd let me see your real face,
but I didn't look at it. I want to see it now.
I don't want others to know what I look like.
But I really want to know what you look like now.
Just the face of an ordinary person.
I want to see.
Once you have recovered,
I will visit you again.
By then, I will remove the mask myself.
Rest well.
Buqi.
♫ Like the wind ♫
♫ When you are around, the clouds descend ♫
♫ You roll up thousand layers of waves ♫
♫ I run into it without hesitation ♫
♫ Aren't you like the wind ♫
♫ Rustling as you intrude ♫
♫ And then announce that ♫
That's impossible.
It can't be you.
It must be that you know I like Lotus Robe Knight,
and you hate me,
so you deliberately disguised as him and let me see it.
Let me get disappointed.
Impossible. You can't be Lotus Robe Knight!
Just pretend that I'm not.
Maybe this way,
you will feel better about it.
Why is it you?!
Why is it you?
Anyone can be him, but why must it be you?!
Buqi,
stop crying.
Give Lotus Robe Knight back to me! Give him back!
Give him back to me!
He is your Lotus Robe Knight.
But I...
am only your brother.
♫ to make me surrender; Aren't you ♫
♫ like the wind; Rustling as ♫
♫ you intrude; Too bad, ♫
♫ I willingly walked into the trap; You then ♫

♫ anything ♫
Who is it? In this hour.
- Open up! - Who is it?!
It's so late. You—
Get me some alcohol!
What's with you? Coming to my place again
at this hour.
Shut up.
Get me the best and most expensive liquor in your manor.
What are you waiting for?
Okay. Okay.
All right, stop it.
Even if it's medicine, you can't drink it like that.
Also, you still have an arrow wound on you.
You can't drink this much.
Give it to me.
You can't drink anymore!
I said give it to me!
You can't drink anymore.
Give it to me.
Stop drinking. Stop drinking!
I said give it to me.
You can't have it. You still have a wound. You can't drink anymore!
Now, you can't drink any of it!
Father has searched for his illegitimate daughter for so long.
How could I run into her this easily?
- Dog-ass Young Lord Chen? - Yes.
He is a selfish, arrogant, and annoying person.
I like you so much.
Can I marry you?
Buqi,
you can't like me.
I also can't like you.
So after drinking so much, it's all for a woman.
Which girl are you talking about?
Uncle Mo. That is...
Is Lady awake?
Not yet. For some reason, she is sleeping so soundly today, like she didn't sleep at all last night.
Madam heard that Lady was interested in the chicken soup last time.
After delivering one to Young Master today, she also had one prepared for Lady.
Have her drink it when she gets up.
Yes.
My Lady.
Xiuchun, what time is it?
My Lady, it's already noon and almost lunch time.
Uncle Mo just brought you soup. Would you like to drink it while it's hot?
No, I'm not hungry.
Second Lady, the Young Master said that you should eat more to supplement your health,
so he ordered me to bring you some fruits and pastries.
Leave it there.
Why do I feel like I've never met you?
I am a new kitchen staff, so, of course, you find my face unfamiliar.
Second Lady, the kitchen got some new bamboo shoots today. Would you like to try them?
There are still bamboo shoots during this season?
Bamboo shoots are quite rare at this time of the year.
I don't know how they did it.
I heard that they planted it in a greenhouse. Since they are rare, they are quite expensive.
In Jiangnan, only families like the House of Zhu can afford it.
Normal people can't afford it.
I left the fruits here.
Young Master said that Lady must remember to eat them. I will leave you to it.
Wait.
Anything else, My Lady?
Do you know how to make a sky lantern?
I know a little, but I can't make it in a very exquisite manner, because of my coarse hands.
It doesn't have to be perfect. Cousin Yun made one for me yesterday.
I want to have another one today, so please.
- Yes. - My Lady, I can also make you one.
You are so clumsy.
Go wash the fruits for me.
Yes.
Eldest Brother said that every servant hired by Mo Manor needs to have a background check.
Only the ones who have a clear background can be hired.
How did you get in?
Faking an identity is nothing for big families like Zhu Manor.
Even the palace can't stop outsiders from sneaking in, let alone Mo Manor.
Oh, what do I call you?
You may call me Xiaoxia. Once you take the pill, it will work immediately.
Once it does, you will lose all your senses, so you won't know what's happening around you.
It's better if someone is around you, in case anything happens.
Once Mo Manor buries you, we will immediately dig your tomb and open your coffin, then wake you up with the Longxian Herb.
No, I can't take it here.
Even though Godmother wants to poison me, Eldest Brother is good to me.
I can't harm him like this.
So you are saying...
I will find an opportunity to go back to the Prince Manor, and just casually find an excuse
to fake my death in there.
Miss Xiaoxia, make a sky lantern for me, so Xiuchun won't suspect anything when she comes back.
Yes.
Brother Yun!
I've heard that Brother Yun is taking Sister Buqi to buy horses from the ranches outside of the capital.
I want to see them, too. Is it convenient to take us with you, too?
Of course. I was on my way to Little Sister Buqi. Let's go together.
Okay.
Little Sister Dansha, could you tell me more about Sister Buqi's stories when she was in Xizhou?
Little Sister Buqi...
There is a legend about her that everyone knows in Xizhou.
What legend?
Everyone knows that she was nursed using dog's milk.
Little Sister!
Why say those?
Brother Yun asked me to say it.
Sister Dansha, why is everyone saying this about her?
When Sister Buqi was still begging for alms,
she would drink the milk of Huang if she couldn't get any food to eat,
so she claimed that she had been nursed with dog's milk.
The whole Xizhou knows about it.
Little Sister!
After hearing it from others many times, I stopped finding it funny anymore.
I started to pity her.
She suffered so much since she was a kid.
I never knew that Ah Huang was this important to Sister Buqi.
What? Who?
Nothing.
Sister Buqi is a lady of the Mo Manor now.
Good thing, she won't go back to begging for food anymore.
Sister Dansha, thank you for taking care of Buqi while she was in Xizhou.
If you say that, you're acting like a stranger.
Buqi is my adopted sister. Taking care of her is my obligation.
Little Sister Buqi! Little Sister Buqi!
Cousin Yun?
You are making a sky lantern?
Yes.
Nice! Nice! Your skill has improved!
Why are you here so early today?
Did you forget? I am going to the ranches to buy horses today.
Didn't you ask me to beg Cousin yesterday to allow you to come with me?
Cousin has already said yes.
I especially came here to pick you up.
Forget it.
It's okay. I'm not going out today.
What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?
Would you like Little Sister Dansha to check your pulse?
I'm feeling okay.
It's just that I'm feeling a little lazy, so I don't want to move.
The more you should go out and walk around.
It was hard for me to convince Cousin.
Just pretend you are keeping me company, okay?
Miss, the Young Master's Cousin likes you.
In a couple of days, I'm going to make an excuse to go back to the Prince Manor and fake my death.
Would Cousin Yun be sad?
And I will never see him again.
I will just go with him today then.
Let's go.
Okay. I will keep you company.
Good. I will get someone to prepare the horses now.
Did anyone follow you?
First Miss.
Don't worry.
I've been very careful on my way here. I didn't see anyone following me.
Any news from Mo Manor?
I followed your instructions and contacted our people in Mo Manor.
They said that Hua Buqi and the Young Master from Feiyun
will go to the ranches outside of the capital to buy horses.
After waiting for so long, I finally have my chance.
Are we still going to mess with Hua Buqi?
Master has already ordered for your death. We should lay low for a bit.
Lay low?
Not only are the Prince Manor and the Mo Manor pursuing to investigate me now,
even teacher has completely given up on me.
I have nowhere else to go, so I have to fight with all I have.
This time, I am not going to kill Hua Buqi,
I am going to use her to get close to the Heir Apparent.
Get close to the Heir Apparent?
I feel like the physique of Lotus Robe Knight looks very similar to that of Heir Apparent, Chen Yu.
Also, his light martial arts skills
are also very similar to martial arts skills that Chen Yu showed
when he saved Hua Buqi during the night of the Lantern Festival.
The Heir Apparent is the Lotus Robe Knight? That's impossible.
The Lotus Robe Knight has done many things that were against the imperial court.
Therefore, if the Emperor finds out that the Lotus Robe Knight
is his own nephew, what would he think?
First Miss, are you sure?
We will see if I was right.
Send a message for me to the Heir Apparent.
Tell him I'll wait for him in a gazebo forty miles outside the western part of the city.
Yes.
Young Master, this is for your hangover. Drink it while it's warm.
Xiao Liu, go check on Hua Buqi and see how she is doing.
Young Master, what's wrong?
Liu Qingwu still has the guts to show herself?
And she even sent a letter to you?
Young Master, let's immediately send guards at the gazebo to arrest her.
Everyone knows that I hate this illegitimate daughter,
yet she's threatening me using Buqi.
She probably has guessed something.
Xiao Liu, send someone to Mo Manor now
to check on Hua Buqi, but say that it's per my father's demand.
Yes!
Please, Royal Physician.
Please tell the Prince that Buqi is doing much better.
It's just that I saw that she was getting bored at home,
so I had my cousin take her out to tour around.
Sorry that you came here for nothing.
It's okay. As long as she is doing better.
I shall leave now
and go report it to the Prince.
Cousin Yun, your Feiyun is so rich.
You just spent more than a hundred thousand taels to buy horses earlier,
and your forehead didn't even crease.
More than a hundred thousand taels.
I can't make that much even if I beg on the streets for ten lives.
Pretending to be pitiful.
Stop thinking about the past.
As long as Cousin and I are here for you, you also can spend a hundred thousand taels of silver
without a wink.
Your Highness is on time.
Miss Liu is so brave.
Aren't you afraid that I came here to arrest you?
But it seems like you didn't bring any soldiers.
Have some tea, Your Highness.
Ping'er, why are you so careless?
Your Highness didn't get splashed with the hot tea, did you?
It seems that Your Highness' arrow wound has still not fully healed.
Your Highness can really maintain your composure.
If I didn't see you risking your life just to save Hua Buqi,
I really would believe that you hated her for the Princess Consort's sake.
What is Miss Liu talking about?
I don't understand.
Don't they know that men and women shouldn't be that intimate?
Can't that brat have her own carriage?
How do you find Yun Lang?
Brother...
Sister, you have such good taste.
With our circumstances, I don't have the energy to think about it.
Also, I can see that Brother Yun likes that girl a lot.
I haven't seen her for a couple of months, and now she became so important.
Little Sister, with our circumstances, we need to get Yun Lang on our side.
Yun Lang is the Young Master of Feiyun, one of the four families.
Only with him on our side, can we seek revenge for our father,
and revive Yaoling, so stop being a child.
If you want to grab hold of Yun Lang, the more we should get closer to Hua Buqi.
Try to get along with her well.
Get along with her?
Little Sister,
I said all these for your sake.
Just listen to me, okay?
Okay.
Little Sister Buqi!
Ride horses with us once it gets warmer. Riding across the field
will make you feel so free.
I also would like to ride a horse by myself and see the sights.
Little Sister Buqi,
Feiyun has a horse ranch. I will get you the best horse.
When you ride the horse on the grassland, you will know how good it feels.
Sure!
Brother Yun, I also want to see the grassland in the north. May I also go to Feiyun?
Of course. You are welcome anytime.
Your Highness, you still won't admit that you are the Lotus Robe Knight?
The Lotus Robe Knight is the mysterious knight of the martial arts world.
How is he connected with me?
Does Your Highness still remembers Tianmen Pass?
If Hua Buqi runs into another attack while traversing some small paths,
I don't know if Lotus Robe Knight can suddenly show up and rescue her again.
It's a shame that you don't know who the Lotus Robe Knight is.
Or else, my eyes can really be widened, and my knowledge increased.
What's happening, Cousin Yun?
Is there something wrong?
It's okay.
Even if there is trouble, I am here to protect you.
- Miss! - Don't come near!
How dare you?
You are committing crimes right in front of me.
Aren't you afraid that I would kill you?
I am already an outlaw.
My situation can't get any worse.
So why not risk everything and just kill Hua Buqi
out of spite?
It's just that you can't save her this time.
If I'm going to make a deal with you, how can it work if I don't have a hidden trump card?
I am very curious.
Once Buqi is able to get out of this mountain path,
what else will you use to make a deal with me?
How about Biluotian?
Biluotian?
My teacher would go to a place every year.
And she never brought me and Qingyan with her.
There was one year, she got drunk, so I asked her where she went.
She probably had drunk too much,
so she accidentally said "Biluotian."
Legend says that the one who has Biluotian runs the world.
Hence, Liu Mingyue's fast growth was because of the treasure in Biluotian?
I am not sure about that.
However, if you can help me
be the Master of Mingyue Villa,
I can help you investigate it.
Once Your Highness has the treasure and runs the world,
may I be your queen?
Isn't Miss Liu the only daughter of Master Liu?
Why would you need my help to become the Master of Mingyue?
Don't tell me Liu Mingyue will eliminate a family for righteousness and report you to authorities?
I am not Liu Mingyue's daughter, but her student.
Also, I have a twin sister.
Her name is Liu Qingyan.
She has been competing with me for the position of the Master of Mingyue Villa.
Let me tell you another thing.
Liu Mingyue's mother was a maid in Xue Manor.
She had her with the Master of the manor.
Even though she was a Lady, but she was treated as a maid.
When Madam Mo destroyed the Xue Manor, her mother was also burned to death.
She luckily escaped.
And then she changed her name and decided to seek revenge for her mother.
I didn't expect
that Liu Mingyue's background was like this.
Liu Mingyue is just a woman.
With such a background and no foundation,
she was able to build a business empire in only ten years.
There must be a secret behind it.
Your Highness, don't you want to know?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki
Okay.
I will work with you.
Let's have Manager Cheng redo it.
Young Master.
Young Master,
people from Prince Manor are here.
- Chief Steward Fu. - Young Lord Mo.
His Highness the Prince asked me to give you this letter.
Did His Highness say something else?
His Highness didn't say anything else
other than asking you to read the letter.
I will take my leave.
Thank you, Chief Steward Fu.
Please have some tea, Young Master.
What's wrong, Qing'er?
I was thinking...
People say that you started managing Mo Manor since you were ten years old.
You were a rare genius.
However, they don't know how hard you worked for it.
You know me the best.
Young Master.
The other managers have arrived. They are waiting for you in the lobby.
They are all here for the bidding.
I will need to talk to them about the bidding.
Qing'er, you don't have to come with us.
Yes.
The rights for running the Imperial Treasury are yours.
Please don't disappoint me and take care of Buqi.
Mo Ruofei is a careful person.
Did he put this letter here on purpose
or has he totally trusted me now?
The bidding is in two days.
I'm constantly unable to find a chance to contact the people outside.
Also, I don't know if Liu Qingwu has completed her tasks or not.
If I haven't completed it, and she did,
then I really have lost this time.
No.
I will have to kill Mo Ruofei as soon as I can.
Young Master,
it's rare to see you this happy.
Is there any good news?
I just talked with the bank managers about the government bidding.
As long as we win the bidding this year, Mo Manor will be even more successful.
Congratulations, Young Master!
Your wish will definitely come true this year and enjoy continuous success.
Well said.
It's for you.
Go get some new clothes. You shouldn't look so wretched when you go out, right?
Thank you, Young Master.
This cream is better than the one you were using.
It won't allow any scars to develop.
It's not good for girls to have scars.
Small scratch.
Qing'er, it seems that I've underestimated you.
Who are you?
I am Liu Qingyan.
I am the Second Miss of the Mingyue Villa.
I was ordered
to kill Young Lord Mo before the bidding.
You are willing to tell me your identity,
which means that you are confident about killing me.
Young Lord,
this knife was applied with upas poison.
Even though that is only a small wound,
- the poison will quickly enter your organs. - Guards!
You are incurable.
Qing'er,
wasn't I good to you?
Young Lord,
you were really good to me,
but I can't decide for myself.
Upon parting today, we'll be separated by death.
I hope you won't hate me
down there.
Master, the Second Miss has sent a message
that she has successfully launched her assassination attempt on Mo Ruofei.
Where is she?
Did she escape from Mo Manor?
She hasn't shown herself.
- What's Mo Manor's situation now? - Chaos.
Faster! Faster! Get more water!
- Is the doctor here yet? - Not yet. We sent someone for him already.
- Go rush him! - Yes! Yes!
It's up to God's will
if this poison can be cleared or not.
I don't think I can make it.
I want to ask mother for a favor.
Yishan,
don't be scared.
I will not fall.
I will come find you
after I take revenge for you.
Okay?
In the bidding on the day after tomorrow,
go represent me.
Okay?
Is there anything more important than your life?
We won't fight for that right to run the Imperial Treasury anymore.
Without you, I will have nothing.
Why are you still worrying about these things at this time, my child?
Yishan.
Yishan!
Hurry! Hurry!
Yishan.
Mom,
are we going to let those people get what they want?
I will die with everlasting regret!
Okay.
I promise you. I promise you.
My child.
Mother,
go tell those managers...
Get them all here.
I have something to tell them.
Okay.
Managers,
I can't make it
to the bidding.
But this time,
in getting the right to run the Imperial Treasury,
I've made the arrangements
and preparations beforehand.
The day after tomorrow, my mother will
participate in the bidding
as the Madam of Mo Manor.
I only want to ask all of you
to stay united
and do all that you can to help my mother.
Please.
Manager Cheng, has silver for the bidding
all been prepared?
Last year,
we used three million taels for the bidding.
This year, per your command,
we prepared three million more, so it's six million taels in total.
The silver is all inside our stockroom.
Get three millions more.
We can't, Young Master.
Do you remember the bank run when your father was still alive?
People with bank notes all ran to the bank.
He cashed out all the bank notes
in order to keep the bank running, but how did it turn out?
He couldn't afford the fee for the bidding.
He overcame it
with Feiyun's help.
Have all our farmlands
and housing properties
pawned.
