[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 39 ]
Madam Yu, My Lady said that
- since we are gambling, why not bet on something big? - Yes.
- Make it bigger. - Or else, we will be winning five hundred thousand taels from you and still have to pay you back one million taels.
So troublesome.
How about we just bet on one million taels?
Young Lord Dongfang?
What? Are you scared?
The biggest gambling house in Xichu, the Xiaojin Ku,
doesn't even have the guts to add on another five hundred thousand taels.
One million taels it is. Even a seasoned gambler like Zhu Shou failed to win,
so I would love to see how you are going to win.
Okay, then let's begin.
This dice has a problem.
This woman's wrists are powerful.
The dice has cracks on it. If she wants to shake it to eighteen points,
it should be easy.
Stop shaking, Zhu Shou. You've lost already.
Chief Steward Shou, isn't that against the rules?
How is it against the rules?
The largest sum of three dice.
Did we add one more dice?
No.
There we go!
If you're willing to bet, then admit defeat.
Don't tell me that your Xiaojin Ku can't even bare losing.
Okay. You are always able to surprise me every time.
Madam Yu, they did win without breaking the rules.
It's just one million taels. Don't be petty.
Hey, we are using the one million we won
to compensate that one million that you tricked Zhu Shou to owe you.
Why do you make it look like you are being generous and letting us off the hook?
Since we are even now, can we go?
Zhu brat,
when we were in the desert, you told me that you came to Xichu to just gamble in Xiaojin Ku.
Since you are already here,
why are you in a hurry to leave?
I was the one who fell in love with Miss Zhu at first sight.
Miss Zhu is hurrying to visit my Commandery Prince of Dongping Manor for some fun.
We don't want to waste our time here.
So that's the reason.
I also want to tour Dongping in a few days.
I will definitely go visit your Prince Manor.
Zhangqing, don't be annoyed at me.
I will be waiting.
Stop talking nonsense to him.
Let's go.
Here.
[ Hotel ]
Villa Master,
the Commandery Prince of Dongping is back from Xichu.
He and Hua Buqi are in the same carriage.
Zhangqing was badly injured. He can't recover that fast.
I must find an opportunity to kill Hua Buqi.
If you only kill Hua Buqi, I'm afraid that the Prince is going to suspect that you did it.
The Prince has now been seduced by that witch.
He wouldn't support us.
Why must I consider so much about killing her?
Go send people to the main road.
Yes.
Who are you? How dare you barge into the Mingyue Villa?
We are here to kill you!
Go!
After them.
What do we do? Our people are almost all killed.
Escape into the Commandery Prince Manor first!
I don't believe that they would trespass the Prince Manor!
Go after them!
Young Master, Liu Qingwu escaped.
Where to?
- I don't know. - Again?
Can you tell me something useful?
Come tell me when you are done investigating.
Mingyue Villa's power has been cleaned out.
Liu Qingwu is badly injured, so she can't run that far.
Send people to search for her.
You have to find her.
Yes.
Come. Be careful.
I thought that since the Dongping Commandery was poor and deserted,
and Prince Manor would be, too.
I didn't expect it to be this big.
Chen Yu, did you hide any beauties in it?
I didn't before,
but from now on, I do.
Okay.
Not bad.
Zhangqing, you are finally back.
You are the only person who can save me now.
What happened now?
Villa Master sent people to destroy Mingyue Villa.
Only Ping'er and I escaped.
The rest of our people have been killed.
They are all looking for me right now. I can only come to you.
You finally know how it feels to be pursued.
Villa Master Liu Qingwu is being chased by our superior because of His Highness.
Now that the Master is being chased, is Your Highness going to ignore it?
You can stay here temporarily.
We will think of something once the matter has been pacified.
I knew that you wouldn't just leave me alone.
Chen Yu, can't you see that she is pretending to be weak?
Even a rabbit would have three holes to hide.
Mingyue Villa has been here for many years.
I don't think she has nowhere to go.
Master has just taken over Mingyue Villa for a short time.
How could our superior not know of those hiding places?
Also, she is gravely injured right now.
If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can get the doctor and—
Stop talking.
Go rest.
You still have wounds on you, too. You should go rest as well.
I will go to my room now.
- Xiao Liu, you may leave us. - Yes.
Buqi, I can't kick them out.
She did help me fight Liu Mingyue.
If I leave them now,
wouldn't I have become a cold-hearted person?
Why do you have to work with Liu Qingwu out of anyone else?
If it wasn't for your injury, I would—
Okay. Once I'm recovered,
you can do whatever you want
to vent your anger. Okay?
That's more like it.
But what are you going to do with Liu QIngwu?
You can't have her stay here all the time.
If I get too angry one day, I would probably kill her.
The superior Liu Qingwu was mentioning
has been looking for Biluotian.
The rumor says that the one who has Biluotian will own the world.
He wants to fight with the Emperor for the throne. How could the Emperor tolerate him?
Buqi, once I find out who their Lord is, I will have the Emperor kill them.
By then, Liu Qingwu would have no excuse to live here.
Buqi, trust me.
Everything will be over soon.
She can stay here for now,
but you can't go see her.
You can't go talk to her,
and you can't have any body contact with her.
Okay. Whatever you say.
Villa Master, stop thinking about it.
As long as we are alive, anything can happen.
We are now depending on Commandery Prince of Dongping. We will soon get back on our feet.
Wine.
Your health is not good right now. You can't drink.
Wine!
Yes.
- Grab some water for me, will you? - Okay.
- Mister, you need to clean this for me. - Okay.
The chicken feet... cut the nails off, too.
- How is it? Is it ready? - It's ready. - Okay.
- Mister, chop the radishes smaller for me. - Okay.
Take it easy, Young Master.
- Young Master. - How is it? Did you find out who they were?
Young Master, these people are smart. They were looking for Miss Liu publicly a couple of days ago.
But once you and the officials started taking action, they disappeared.
They just wanted to destroy Mingyue Villa.
Now that they made it, retreating makes sense. But just in case,
let's let Miss Liu stay in the manor for now, so they don't find her.
- Young Master. - What?
I just saw Miss Ping'er buying ten jugs of strong wine. I initially planned to confiscate them right away,
but she and Miss Liu are not from the manor, so I didn't stop them.
I am worried that...
Xiao Liu, I am going to Miss Liu's place for fifteen minutes maximum.
Go watch Buqi in the kitchen. If she leaves within fifteen minutes, tell me immediately.
- Why aren't you on your way? - Yes.
- Miss Zhu, you are busy I see. - Xiao Liu, what brought you here?
- Aren't you supposed to watch your Young Master? - The Young Master is hungry, so he insisted on having me check what he will be having later.
Miss Zhu, how soon will it be ready?
About an hour. Tell him not to eat some random snacks
and just wait for the meal I prepared.
- Okay. I will go inform him right now. - Okay.
Zhangqing, let me drink. I'm not satisfied yet.
That's enough!
You are still injured right now. Stop drinking.
Are you afraid that Hua Buqi is going to be jealous?
It's good that you know.
Drink some tea and sober up. Maybe we can chat a bit.
Zhangqing, don't tell me you've never liked me, not even a little bit.
I've talked to you a bunch of times.
I only see you as a friend and nothing more.
Then why do you care about me so much when I got injured?
You had feelings for me apparently. You just don't want to admit to it.
I have told you many times.
I don't want to waste my time explaining this to you again.
If you insist on talking about it, I will leave.
Also, I will ask Xiao Liu to stop letting you have wine. If you think the manor has too many rules,
you can leave.
Okay. I will stop talking about it.
Don't go. Could you stay and keep me company?
This pill can help you sober up. Take it.
I know that you always wanted Mingyue Villa since you were little. You also worked hard for it.
Now that Mingyue Villa is destroyed, it's normal for you to be sad. But luckily,
you are alive.
As long as you are still alive,
you can build another Mingyue Villa.
The moment I betrayed my Master,
I should have known that this would happen.
It's just that I took a chance. I assumed that
I could pocket Mingyue Villa's power,
and make it stronger with your reputation.
Eventually, I could become the most powerful person in this region. No one could easily touch me.
I didn't expect that I couldn't take any blows at all.
You just got out of the desert, so your guard was down. Don't overthink it.
Zhangqing, do you know that you are not good at comforting people?
Did you know that what you just said broke my heart again?
Stop mentioning the desert.
Everytime you mention it, I will just start remembering what you said to me in the hotel.
Okay. I won't mention it.
This soup tastes so fresh.
He needs to eat it while it's hot.
I will bring the soup to the Prince. Watch the fire for me.
It's almost fifteen minutes. Why is the Young Master not back yet?
Chen Yu, you are in luck today!
- Miss Zhu, you are so fast. - Where is your Young Master?
Is he at Liu Qingwu's room?
Here is what's happening. Miss Liu has been drinking.
The Young Master was worried, so he went to check on her. Miss Liu saved his life after all.
It's just human nature.
You were asking me how soon the meal was going to be ready. Did Chen Yu asked you to ask me or did you want to find out for him?
Miss Zhu, let me explain. Miss Zhu, listen to me! Miss Zhu!
Young Master! Yo...
Miss Zhu saw that you weren't at your room, so she ran away.
She ran away? Where?
She and Chief Steward Zhu left the manor and said that they are going to beg on the street.
She also said she is going to beg everywhere. Even if everyone only gives her a cent, she would be able to collect millions from it.
She also said that the money she owes will no longer be your business.
- Are you okay, Young Master? - I'm fine.
- Go prepare a carriage right now. I'm going there. - Okay.
Please! Please! Pity us!
Thank you, My Lord! You will be lucky and rich this year!
My Lady,
you are just mad at the Commandery Prince. You don't have to become a beggar because of it.
I am the Chief Steward of Jiangnan's House of Zhu after all.
If people see me here, how am I going to face anyone?
Liu Qingwu is miserable. I, Hua Buqi, am more miserable.
I was on the street with Uncle Jiu since I was little. I had to keep hiding and even end up being poisoned.
She is more miserable than me?!
I don't understand you guys.
- Pity us, my brother. We haven't eaten for three days. Please share a little. - How is a beggar this fat? Get away. I have no money!
I have been begging all morning, and I haven't gotten a cent! Come here. Come here.
- I need money to buy a meat bun. -Three taels with interest.
Please! Pity us.
Zhu brat, aren't you supposed to be in the Prince Manor? Why are you begging on the street?
Why are you everywhere?
I'm here because I miss you, of course.
Please. Please. Pity me.
Zhu brat, Dongping is quite poor. They don't have that many main streets.
I thought I would have to go out everyday just to bump into you.
I didn't expect that I would bump into you on my first try. We are destined to run into each other.
What destined?
- Pity me. - Zhu brat, I do miss you.
- Thank you, My Lord! - Have you ever wondered
why I never called you Hua Buqi even if I know that's your name?
Because the one who signed the agreement with the House of Dongfang was the House of Zhu.
Even though your mother's name is Xue Fei, your family name is Zhu.
This makes it feels more appropriate when I marry you.
Come here!
Lord Dongfang. Knight Dongfang.
I will pay you back the money. Could you stop talking about this matter?
I am a human being. Not an object for paying back the debt. Understood?
I want the money, and I also want you.
Shameless, isn't it? But in front of the person I love, it's okay to be shameless.
If you can't collect enough money and pay back the debt,
I will marry you with confidence.
If you collect enough money and pay it back, I will then take you and the money altogether.
What's so good about me?
I am not as pretty as my mother. I look more like Grand Master Zhu Ba.
You can imagine that when I get old, I will be even bigger than my grandfather.
My face would be more round than Zhu Shou. The only good thing about me
is I have a pair of bright eyes on my face. Thank you, Lord.
It's okay. Big old women are cute.
Everytime I think of your face is going to be so round—
- I feel so happy. - Thank you.
I've been on the street with Uncle Jiu. I can sing a few lines of "Lotus Flower Falling."
I can't sing or play instruments.
I can't even read much. Look at you, you are even a county exam passer.
That status was just a charity.
I am too lazy to compete with those students.
- Thank you, My Lord. - Women shouldn't know how to read anyways.
Intelligent women are a lot of trouble.
I got it! You just want to do it out of spite!
Young Lord Dongfang, you have all the money.
You are also not bad looking, and you are a good fighter. You brain is not damaged as well.
Stop obsessing with me, all right?
Zhu brat, if there was no Lotus Robe Knight in this world,
if I had run into you before he did,
- would you like me? - Nope.
So straightforward.
- Please.... - But there is no "if" in this world.
I told you, I can become very shameless just for you.
Yun Lang liked you, so I drugged him.
You like the Lotus Robe Knight, so I will kill him.
I still wouldn't like you!
My Lord, are you giving me money or not?
If you are not going to, get away. Don't be in the way of the Lord behind you.
Buqi, I know I made a mistake.
Come back with me, all right?
What mistake? How did you make a mistake?
I will keep my distance with her. There won't be a next time.
I don't believe you.
Zhu brat, did you guys have a fall out?
- How is that your business? - Of course, it is my business. You were only together for a couple of days,
and you are now on the streets. He must've treated you badly.
If he is not good to you, forget about him. Immediately marry me, and don't worry about the debt.
You can even get a husband who is rich, handsome, and very doting.
- Isn't that a good deal? - Young Lord Dongfang,
Miss Zhu told you that she is going to pay you back.
- Why are you still on it? You are so annoying! - You are the one that's annoying!
Both of you are annoying!
Enough, stop fighting. My ears are hurting.
You want a bun? No? I'm leaving.
Han Ye!
Miss Zhu, our Young Master asked to talk to you inside the carriage.
What about? A guy and a girl should not be alone in a carriage.
If you give me money, I will call you "lord." If you are not going to, don't get in the way of me making money.
Did you hear her? Get away!
Young Lord Dongfang, you have no business here. Why don't you excuse yourself?
What if I don't?
Then don't blame me for being violent.
Really good, Chen Yu... You're not kneeling down to apologize and are even showing off your Commandery Prince status.
Are you okay, Young Master? What happened?
- Why is there blood? Look. - What's going on?
- Get him on the carriage! - Okay. Okay. Help me, Miss Zhu. Let's go together.
Why are you not at home with your injuries? Why must you roam the streets?!
Hei Feng, I know where Liu Qingwu is hiding.
Zhu brat was so jealous.
If Liu Qingwu is not in Prince Manor, I will write my name upside down.
What's going on? How did the wounds open all of sudden?
Buqi, promise me not to go out without telling me from now on.
Dongfang Shi never plays by the rules. If he abducts you again, how am I going to find you?
It was all your fault.
You broke your word. You promised me not to see Liu Qingwu anymore,
but you sneaked out to meet her when I was cooking for you.
Did you know how I felt when I got to know that you were in another woman's room when I was happily holding the soup I cooked for you?
Buqi, she is badly injured and drinks everyday.
- I can't just leave her like that. - I told you that she is just pretending.
It's just a Mingyue Villa. With your protection,
with the Commandery Prince Manor being so luxurious, with all those food and clothes, everyone would want to stay there.
Did you change into your beggar's clothes to remind me that
Liu Qingwu is not the most miserable person in the world?
Why would I want to remind you?
I just think that being a beggar has a lot of freedom.
With my intelligence, I can get lots of money everyday.
I'm happier than being the Lady of some Mo Manor, Zhu Manor, or Prince Manor.
Buqi, you've suffered too much these past years.
I'm okay, just tired.
I feel tired just thinking about having to compete with Liu Qingwu when I go back.
Buqi, I said all I should say to her. I will never see her again.
- Really? - I swear.
Your Highness! Your Highness! Villa Master is trying to kill herself.
- Is she dead? - Villa Master tried to hang herself. Luckily I found her and saved her in time.
Medical Sage Yi is treating her right now.
I've been waiting here for Your Highness. I beg you to talk to her.
Or else, I am afraid that she will take things too hard again.
I will go talk to her.
Don't go rile her up.
Me riling her up? She was the one who keeps provoking me time after time.
She really thinks I'm a lady who hasn't seen anything before.
Your Highness, did you forget what you said to me in the carriage?
Han Ye, go with Miss Zhu. Protect her and don't let her say anything out of line.
Also, tell Miss Liu,
after everything is finished, I will help her rebuild Mingyue Villa.
- If she tries to kill herself again, I can't help her then. - Yes.
Xiao Liu, take His Highness back to his room to rest.
Yes. Young Master,
let's go.
Doctor, how is Miss Liu?
Miss Liu's throat was a little injured, but she is fine.
She will be fine after taking some calming medicines and resting for a couple of days.
Thank you, Doctor.
Miss Liu, why aren't you thanking the doctor?
- This is the prescription. - Okay.
Liu Qingwu, why can't you do anything right?
Even when killing yourself, you were discovered by your maid.
Can you find a deserted place next time?
Commander Han, wasn't that out of line?
Out of what line?! She did worse!
Was she this gentle and weak when she went after me and Uncle Jiu?
Liu Qingwu, stop pretending.
With you being so evil, Chen Yu will never like you.
Aren't you evil, too, for being so mean to someone who just tried to kill herself?
If I can seek vengeance for Uncle Jiu just by angering you to the point of dying,
I will then be evil for once.
Miss Zhu, please don't!
Don't worry. With my skills, I can't fight Miss Liu even if she is injured.
This knife is for helping her.
Didn't you want to kill yourself? Use this to slice your neck
when no one is here at night. I guarantee that you'll be immediately released from all your sufferings.
Miss Liu, rest well. His Highness said that once everything is finished, he will help you rebuild Mingyue Villa.
But if you try to kill yourself again, there is nothing he can do.
Commander Han,
you surely now know who the evil one is here.
If I get murdered, tell Chen Yu to investigate her first.
Villa Master.
Young Master, the secret guards have sent back updates saying that
with Chief Steward Fu's speed, he can reach the Xiaoqiu Woods in three days.
How soon can one travel from Dongping to Xiaoqiu Woods without stopping?
About three days.
Here, come in.
Put them here.
After fighting for the entire day, some of the dishes have gone cold.
But this is the first time I've cooked for you, you have to finish all of them.
As long as you are happy, I will finish anything you cook for me.
Here.
Try everything. This one, too.
Try this one first.
Buqi, you've been busy the whole day. Why aren't you eating them?
Aren't you hungry?
You said the wrong thing. I will give you a second opportunity.
This food should only exist in Heaven.
You can't find it anywhere on Earth.
I didn't know that my wife was a god-sent-chef.
From now on, I am in luck.
Such a talker.
I meant everything I said.
You taste it.
You would know how good my wife is once you taste it.
Your wife is a indeed godsend!
It tastes so good!
No. No. If I keep doing this,
I will get fat.
Buqi, let me tell you something.
I'm listening.
I need to go out for a couple of days.
You, Han Ye, and Xiao Liu must guard the door. Don't let anyone in.
If anyone enters, just tell them I have the flu, and I can't receive anyone.
Where are you going now?
Xiao Liu and Han Ye are not going to be with you. Are you going to risk your life again?
Don't worry, there are secret guards. You don't have to worry about me.
Still no. You have not recovered yet.
Can't someone else go?
I'm still worried about my teacher.
The more I can't let you go.
You are worrying about Ah Fu, because he could be in danger.
If he really is, how could you not save him?
Don't worry. I don't want the Emperor to know that
I am meeting my teacher. Also, there are so many good fighters protecting him.
I don't need to do anything at all.
I just need to watch him from afar.
I'm still worried. What if...
There is no what if's. Buqi,
trust me.
I know no matter how much I say, you will still go.
You and Ah Fu are like father and son.
You are the Lotus Robe Knight who has good morals,
but I hope that you can think about me before you make any decisions.
We are together now.
If anything happens to you,
I will surely go after you.
Silly girl, I will be all right.
You are always like this, deciding our future by yourself.
When are you leaving?
Right now.
Villa Master, I heard that the Prince is sick.
How?
I am not sure, but many people on the streets have seen him bleeding.
He is now resting in his room. He is not seeing anyone except for Han Ye and a couple of others.
I need to go see him.
Villa Master! Hua Buqi is also taking care of him in his room.
With the Prince's attitude towards you,
you will only be insulted by Hua Buqi if you try to take care of him.
Then she can insult me away.
The important thing is that I want Zhangqing to see
my feelings for him.
Young Lord Dongfang.
I'm so sorry. Our Young Master's wounds flared up again.
The doctor said that he needs to rest.
He can't receive any guests now.
Okay, I will see Zhu brat then.
Miss Zhu is taking care of the Young Master.
I'm afraid that she doesn't have time either.
You didn't even ask her, and you know she is busy.
Is that the way the Prince Manor treats guests?
This is Miss Zhu's direct order.
I dare not make any decisions myself.
If Zhu brat said so, then forget about it.
Miss Liu, Medical Sage Yi gave instructions for Young Master to limit seeing anyone,
so his wounds won't get infected. You can't go in.
How is he doing right now?
What are you yelling about? He is asleep.
Go back.
Get away. My mind will only be at ease once I see him.
Miss Liu, if you are this stubborn,
the Young Master will only be annoyed by you.
Zhu brat!
How did you get in?
I missed you, so I'm here. Why do you care how I got in?
The Commandery Prince is resting. Don't wake him up.
Miss Liu, long time no see.
Zhangqing is so good.
He can hide two pretty girls in his house.
Isn't he afraid of you being jealous of each other?
How is that any of your business?
You dare to trespass into the Prince Manor.
Be ready to go to jail.
Such ungrateful words.
It's because I saw you arguing with Zhangqing on the street,
and was afraid that he treats you badly, so I have to check on you.
Don't tell me you really are jealous of Miss Liu?
So what if I am?
That's easy. I will kill her!
Don't be nervous.
Don't be so tense. It was a joke.
How could I kill Zhangqing's lover?
I even hope that Miss Liu and Zhangqing can be together forever,
so Zhu brat would be more jealous.
Zhangqing, why is every woman so loyal to you?!
- I'm so jealous! - Quiet!
He just fell asleep! Get out of here!
Okay. Okay. I will leave.
I'm just here to see you.
Now that I saw you,
which is not bad. I'm leaving now.
- Let me in. - Don't let her disturb the Prince.
Miss Liu.
Miss Liu, please go back. Don't force me to do something to you.
Commander Han, what do you mean?
How could you do anything to our Villa Master?
Shut up!
Commander Han, if Zhangqing is all right,
we are going back.
Young Master, is Liu Qingwu inside the Commandery Prince Manor?
Have I ever been wrong?
Of course she is.
I will sneak into the Prince Manor tonight and kill her.
Don't risk it.
The Prince Manor's guards are not there for decoration.
As long as we know that she is there, just send someone to watch her
- and kill her when we have a chance. - Yes.
Commandery Prince of Dongping said that he needs to rest.
But after I made such a huge disturbance outside his room,
not only did I not hear his voice, but he didn't come out either.
I think he is not inside his manor at all.
