[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 48 ]
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Beloved Consort, why have you come to see me?
I heard Your Majesty is going to the battlefield,
so I came to ask if I can go with you.
This way, I can attend to you on your trip.
You want to go with me, too, my Beloved Consort?
I not only want to go.
I also have an idea!
It can help disturb the enemy‘s morale during a battle.
Your Majesty, are you willing to listen to it?
All right! Hurry and tell me.
My Beloved Consort is indeed intelligent!
You suggested such a clever idea!
You can leave.
Zhu brat,
there is yet news from the front lines that the Emperor has executed Chen Yu and Master Zhu Ba,
so stop glaring at me.
At least, they're not dead yet.
As I see things, if you don't appear,
the Emperor won't touch them.
Then how are they doing now?
This poor scholar is a loser indeed.
The battle is not even over yet,
but he's already surrendered.
Who?
Take a guess. You and I both know him.
"Prince of Cheng before was the rightful successor based on direct lineage.
The evil son killed his brother and usurped the throne, which was looked down upon by many people.
I thought about it every night and hated myself for not being able to kill the evil son
and avenge Prince of Cheng. I was moved by how daring the grandson of Prince of Cheng is,
so I decided to forsake darkness for light.
I'm going to be a spy in the Emperor's imperial court
and dig out information for you.
I heard that the Emperor plans to personally lead the army
in the battlefield at Liuzhou.
He's also taking Master Zhu Ba with him as hostage.
He ordered Chen..."
It's Bai Jianfei, right?
Precisely. It's that useless scholar.
I knew he wasn't a good person!
But... he did put some news in the letter about Chen Yu.
What did he say?
What did he say?!
The Emperor is bringing Chen Yu with him to Liuzhou,
and I also was about to lead my soldiers to attack Liuzhou.
He sent Chen Yu to battle?
This is great! The Emperor is finally not being stupid!
Dongfang Shi, you should surrender early!
Or else, Chen Yu will completely defeat you!
You believe so strongly that he will defeat me?
Of course! You are a traitor.
You're a rat in the streets, the person everyone wants to hit!
What Chen Yu commands is the righteous side.
Of course, he will defeat you.
You want to aggravate me again?
I'm scolding you on behalf of the world!
If they can't scold you, I'll help them!
Shameless, barefaced, dirty low-life,
- Continue scolding. - ...selfish, bastard...
- This entire area is guarded. No matter what, you can't escape. - ...asshole, scoundrel,
son of a bitch, douchebag, a beast.
You're like a ruffian in a scholars gown, and you want to be the Emperor?
Enough, Zhu brat.
Joining hands with outside enemies, you're worse than my Ah Huang!
That's how low you see me?
Chen Yu is bringing less than a hundred people to defeat my thousands of soldiers.
What?
If I still can't defeat him, then I'll let you go right away!
Dongfang Shi, spare Chen Yu!
I'm begging you, spare him!
Zhu brat, a battle is not a child's game.
I cannot agree to your request.
In order to prevent the old man from capturing you again,
this time, I want you to accompany me to battle.
Report!
Your Majesty! A spy sent news
that the rebel has set up their camp five kilometers from Liuzhou.
Good!
Tell the Commandery Prince of Dongping to prepare. This time,
I don't want the traitors to escape!
Yes!
Ying'er, bring Hua Buqi here.
Your Majesty, this is bad!
Commander Prince of Dongping and his soldiers stole horses
and escaped from the south gate while General Qin wasn't looking!
What?
Master Zhu Ba is still in my hands.
He dares to escape?
Very good, Commandery Prince of Dongping...
Really great, Lotus Robe Knight...
I thought you were a heroic man.
You wouldn't leave the old man behind to save your own life.
I never thought...
you were also a coward!
Send my order!
Commandery Prince of Dongping escaped before a battle. Kill him without pardon!
Yes!
Beloved Subject Bai.
Kill Master Zhu Ba
and hang his body on the city gates.
I want those traitors to have a good look at
the consequences of betraying me!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Why don't you send another letter for the traitors to know
that because Commandery Prince of Dongping escaped before a battle,
you will kill Hua Buqi this afternoon.
I believe the traitor Dongfang Shi
will definitely rush here to save Hua Buqi.
Our troop will then be waiting for his fatigued army
and crush them.
Am I going to be freed?
Not so hard! Not so hard!
Grand Master Zhu.
Commandery Prince of Dongping escaped before a battle.
The Emperor wants your head right now.
I'm sorry.
Kneel!
Official Bai, if you stand so close,
I'm afraid the blood will get on your clothes. If dirty things get on you,
there will be bad luck. For us who often cut off people's heads,
we are covered in a killing aura. You are different.
I'm a righteous person. I'm not afraid of ghosts.
Enough. Hurry and do it. The Emperor is still waiting.
I will go ahead first!
Official Bai, the execution is finished. Please check the body.
There's no need!
Follow the Emperor's orders and hang him on the city walls.
Yes!
Is there any news from the front lines?
Has Dongfang Shi set out?
Fire! Fire!
- Little Sister Buqi! - Cousin Yun!
I've knocked out the guards outside. I'll open your locks now and save you.
Okay!
I'll unlock you right away!
Hurry and change to this. Put it on.
Hurry!
The Emperor personally led his troops and is defending Liuzhou firmly.
Liuzhou will surely be heavily guarded.
It's not wise to fight them directly.
This time, we are just going to pretend to attack them
and burn off their patience.
Set a trap for them to walk into.
Your Highness, a fire broke out in the southwestern corner of our camp!
Help!
Water! Hurry!
Coming!
- The water is here! - Hurry!
Hurry! This way!
Hurry!
Bring some more water! Hurry! It's not enough!
Zhu brat!
Seal off the camp immediately! Send someone to find Miss Zhu!
You must find her!
Yes!
Also!
Send someone to check on Mo Ruofei and Yun Lang, if they're still in Gujia Town.
Yes!
Let's go.
Cousin Yun, you shouldn't have come to save me. I don't want to drag you down.
What stupid things are you saying? I know Dongfang Shi has captured you.
You didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Just keep close to me. I will get you out of here now.
But what if Dongfang Shi finds out?
Buqi, don't worry!
He sent cousin and me to defend Wujia Town. He doesn't know I'm here.
I have trusted aides inside the camp, too. He won't find out.
The fire hasn't started for long. They couldn't have gone far!
Immediately do a thorough search now!
- I don't believe I can't find her! - Your Highness!
Speak!
Your Highness, latest news from the front lines.
Commandery Prince of Dongping escaped from the southern gate of Liuzhou with his men.
The Emperor has given the orders to kill the old master of House of Zhu.
Chen Yu escaped? Is this news accurate?
It is true. Bai Jianfei sent the secret news himself, and he oversaw the execution.
Old Master Zhu's body is now hanging on the city gates.
Bai Jianfei also said...
What did he say?
He also said there was a woman tied up on the city wall and it was Miss Zhu.
The Emperor has ordered to execute Miss Zhu in the afternoon!
Did they snatch the Zhu brat away before setting the fire?
Your Highness, this may be a trap!
Bai Jianfei said it was hard to recognize the girl on the city wall.
Her figure is only about 70 percent similar to Miss Zhu.
All right! Send General Li to go after Chen Yu.
Don't let him escape.
I'll go to the city wall of Liuzhou with some soldiers
and confirm if that is Zhu brat or not.
Besides, take Xiao Xia to the city wall and meet me there.
Yes! I will go arrange for it right away!
Something happened to Miss Zhu!
What happened to My Lady?
It seems like the Emperor captured Miss Zhu
and will execute her this afternoon!
- Miss Xiao Xia! - Xiao Xia!
Let me out! Let me out!
Young Master, it is Dongfang Shi's people.
It looks like it is unavoidable.
Kill!
Perform the execution!
These traitors are quite brave.
With just a few people, they dared to face us head on?
Emperor!
In terms of seniority, I should call you Royal Uncle!
But these past years, you took something that you shouldn't have!
You sat in the position that you shouldn't have!
Right now, you should give it back!
How ridiculous!
You framed the past Emperor for killing his brother and stealing the throne!
You also colluded with foreigners to invade my border!
You still have the face to say those words?
If you surrender today,
I will leave your body in one piece.
Whoever wins is the hero in the battlefield.
,i>You used Zhu brat to lure me here!
This sort of act is not what an Emperor should do!
All right!
Today, I will let you see
how she dies in front of your eyes!
My Lady!
Protect the Emperor!
Shoot! Shoot!
Emperor!
I am the true dragon! I can escape unscathed among a million arrows!
The heavens are protecting me!
You can't kill me with your arrows!
I will certainly break through the capital and kill you!
Your Majesty, should we go after him?
Forget it.
The enemy has taken the territory outside the city.
With only a few of them coming to face us,
they must have a backup plan.
Don't send the soldiers to die in vain.
Wait until we know what is going on.
Yes.
Hurry!
- Xiao Xia! Xiao Xia! - What are you doing?
Don't move! We can escape very soon!
- I want to see Xiao Xia! - Don't go out there!
No! I want to see what happened!
Cousin Yun, you leave first!
Buqi! It was so hard to bring you out!
I just want to save you! Xiao Xia is just a maid!
Are you going to give up the chance to escape for her?
She's not just a maid! She's a person I trust!
I can't leave her behind!
Cousin Yun, I'm sorry!
Buqi!
Stop!
You cannot go inside! Miss Zhu!
- Let her come inside! - Yes.
Zhu brat, where did you hide?
Xiao Xia, what happened to you?
Why are you suddenly this gravely injured?
Did you get her injured?
The Emperor had someone pretend to be you to lure me in.
She got hurt trying to save you. I brought her back.
Xiao Xia, I'm sorry...
My Lady... I'm glad you're okay.
Can I...
see Yuan Chong?
Since you loyalty protected your master,
I will let you two see each other one last time.
Wait!
The last time? What do you mean?
What last time?
Zhu brat, her injuries are too grave.
Aren't you a miracle doctor?
You can treat any serious injury!
I'm begging you, save Xiao Xia!
- I'm begging you, save Xiao Xia! - Zhu brat,
I am a miracle doctor, not a god.
I cannot save her.
Stay with her. She does not have much time left.
Men!
- Bring Yuan Chong here. - Yes.
- Take good care of Zhu brat. If there are any problems, report to me immediately. - Yes.
- Has General Li captured Chen Yu? - Your Highness, we haven't heard about anything.
I'll lead some soldiers to check on it.
Sorry.
Xiao Xia, don't scare me.
Sorry.
W-What are you saying sorry for? I should be the one saying that.
I climbed the wall during midnight and disturbed you. I don't know how to speak, so I made you angry.
Don't worry, it won't happen anymore in the future.
Sorry, I had to protect My Lady.
That's why, I couldn't say yes to you back then.
I can finally tell you now
that I wasn't mad.
I like you.
Xiao Xia...
Xiao Xia, nothing will happen to you.
I... I'm waiting for you to whip me with the willow branch.
Does it hurt?
It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all.
Xiao Xia!
Xiao Xia.
Yuan Chong, can you do me a favor?
Okay. Tell me. I'm willing to do you a hundred favors.
I'm worried about My Lady.
Help me continue to protect her.
Don't let anyone bully her.
Xiao Xia, I promise you.
Xiao Xia! Xiao Xia!
Xiao Xia!
Zhangqing, we've finally met again.
I had been sad for a while after you were burned to death.
I thought I wouldn't be able to see you in this lifetime again and lost a good rival.
As you wish, I'm still alive.
You're not dead, but Old Master Zhu died for you.
I passed by the city walls of Liuzhou before coming here
and saw his body hanging on the wall.
I didn't expect someone like you
would throw someone else under the bus for his own safety.
Miss Zhu always talks about how heroic Lotus Robe Knight is.
If she found out about it,
she would be very upset and disappointed with you.
If I knew I would be stopped by your troops,
I should have just fought you directly under the city wall.
This way, Master Zhu Ba wouldn't have to die.
You're dumb indeed. If I were you, I would have killed the Emperor and pledged allegiance to me.
In that case, I would have made you a founding father.
Stop the nonsense! Let's get to it!
If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay some price.
Good. Let's see who's better today.
You guys, back off!
I didn't expect that the distinguished Young Lord Dongfang would use such a contemptible trick.
There can never be too much deception in war. Haven't you heard?
Didn't you also find someone else to take the stab for you?
Young Master, what he said earlier has a point.
Since the Emperor is so cruel to you, why not support Dongfang Shi?
Then we can attack the palace and avenge Old Master Zhu.
Shut up! I escaped at a crucial time
and already become a disloyal, unfilial, and heartless person.
- Do you want the world to stab me in the back and curse me again?! - Young Master,
a fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. A virtuous man selects the leader whom he would follow.
The Emperor is the one who was disloyal and cruel to you first. Can't you see?
Han Ye, if you don't shut up,
don't blame me for being ruthless to you.
Young Master, I'm sorry.
Grandson of Prince of Cheng, my Young Master is the son of the Seventh Prince,
and the legitimate offspring of the royal family. If he submits to you,
soon enough, those other royal relatives will follow suit.
Surrender, Young Master!
Young Master, I'm doing this for your own good!
General Han is right. He is thinking for your sake,
and using you will help save me a lot of effort.
Chen Yu, how about this? Surrender, and I'll make you a feudal king.
Once the war is over, you can pick your fief.
A loyal man doesn't follow two leaders. I will never submit to you.
How come the distinguished Lotus Robe Knight is still stubborn?
The Emperor ordered you to fight me with only just a few soldiers because he wants you dead.
Let me tell you. I don't have much patience. Are you going to surrender or not?!
- Young Master. - Commander Prince!
Surrender. The Emperor doesn't deserve your loyalty.
You all...
Well, Miss Zhu and Yuan Chong are both guests in my camp.
If you help me obtain this empire, I'll have another reason to stop the old man from sacrificing Miss Zhu.
You captured Buqi and Yuan Chong?
That's right. If you don't believe me, come to my camp and have a look.
Yuan Chong didn't visit me in the palace anymore.
Is it true Buqi and him were captured?
If you want to save Zhu brat, come to the camp with me now.
I can follow you back, but you have to release my soldiers.
No problem. I don't want to use them anyway.
It makes no difference if I kill or not kill them. I can let them go.
You can all go now. Find somewhere to get married and start a family.
From today on, I'm no longer your Master.
There is also no more Commandery Prince of Dongping in this world.
Young Master, I just want to follow you!
- We also want to follow you! - It's enough for only one person to bear all the blame!
Go now. The farther the better.
We have lost enough brothers.
I also caused Grand Master Zhu's death.
I don't want to get you in danger as well.
If you still consider me as your Master, don't defy my order!
- Young Master... - Go!
- Young Master, take care. - Young Master, take care!
Take me to meet Buqi and Yuan Chong.
You've seen them. We need to talk.
You want to get the Biluotian treasure using Buqi?
If I really wanted to get the treasure by using Zhu brat,
I would be interrogating you on the whereabouts of the map and the sacred item at this moment.
The Emperor has those two items. Go ask him for them.
I can only believe in half of what you said
and what you did.
Chen Yu,
I haven't touched Zhu brat because I don't need those treasures to obtain the empire.
But the Emperor is tougher to deal with than I imagined.
When the war intensifies,
I can't guarantee I won't bank on the treasures.
If that happens, Zhu brat will be in danger.
Didn't you say you like her?
If you like her, why are you going to hurt her?
Can't you let her live a free life?
I don't like following the rules.
You can call me being unscrupulous in my efforts,
or being sly and crooked.
In a nutshell, if you don't fight to get this empire for me, I might use Zhu brat.
Okay.
I'll help you, but you have to guarantee
the safety of Yuan Chong and Buqi first.
Now that Old Master Zhu died because of you
and the Emperor hates your guts,
you have no option but to follow me.
Since you're working for me now,
I'm asking you to finish a task.
- You can go now. - Got it.
Zhu brat, I forgot to tell you one thing.
Between Chen Yu and Grand Master Zhu, one has to die.
You need to be prepared for it.
Chen Yu...
He's alive,
but Grand Master Zhu has died.
Impossible.
The Emperor needs to use Grand Master Zhu to lure me in.
I haven't shown up yet, why would he kill him?
Chen Yu was ordered by the Emperor to eliminate me,
but he ran away on the eve of the battle,
It shows that he takes his own life more seriously than Grand Master Zhu.
The Emperor got mad and had Grand Master Zhu executed.
His body is still hanging on the city wall of Liuzhou.
Impossible.
You're lying. I don't believe you.
You don't believe Chen Yu would run away on the eve of a battle,
or you don't believe that Grand Master Zhu is dead?
Bai Jianfei and my informant in Liuzhou both confirmed that
the corpse hanging is that of Grand Master Zhu.
Zhu brat, Grand Master Zhu is dead.
I don't believe you!
I don't believe he's dead.
I also don't believe Chen Yu would run away on the eve of a battle.
He's so smart.
He would figure something out to save my grandfather.
I don't believe in anything you said!
Is Chen Yu smart?
He's dumb as hell.
He ignored others' lives and ended up in my hands.
You captured him?
Not only did I capture him, he also surrendered to me.
He's working for me now.
You're lying.
I let him choose whether to live or surrender.
He surrendered because he was afraid of death.
Why do you still like a guy like him,
who's selfish and mousy?
None of your business!
But you've made the wrong calculations.
I won't hate him for surrendering in fear of death.
On the contrary, I hope he lives.
Really?
He swore to be loyal to me and to be a general under my banner.
As my subject,
if I asked him to give up on you, he mustn't have any bit of feelings left towards you.
He promised me that he would never see you again.
He also begged me to treat you well.
Bullshit!
General Chen, come in here!
Your Highness.
Zhu brat, he's now right in front of you.
You may ask him yourself if what I said is true or not.
Make it short.
General Chen and I have important military matters to discuss later.
♫ The look I'm waiting for isn't abstract ♫
You may stand up. ♫ I am feeling your flow direction with my skin ♫
♫ I can't believe you can take away my sunshine ♫
Buqi,
I just joined the camp of His Highness.
I have to get used to lots of things.
♫ I continuously followed you and got excessive ♫
♫ Like the wind. When you are around, the clouds descend ♫
♫ You roll up thousand layers of waves ♫
Is Grand Master Zhu really dead? ♫ I run into it without hesitation ♫
♫ Aren't you like the wind ♫
Did Dongfang Shi use me to threaten you to surrender?!
His Highness didn't use you to threaten me. ♫ Rustling as you intrude ♫
His Highness treats you well. You know that. ♫ And then announce that good weather has returned ♫
Grand Master Zhu died because of me. ♫ Like we've never been in love ♫
I wronged you. Forget about me.
Forget about you? ♫ The winding sunset is in-charge of blocking ♫
Are you joking?
Are you yielding me to him?! ♫ Making the aggrieved senses be unable to be released ♫
Since I've sworn to be loyal to His Highness,
I won't compete with him to have you anymore.
It's between you and him whether he marries you or not. ♫ Recently, my wound hasn't grown ♫
It has nothing to do with me anymore.
Shut up!
I don't believe in anything you two say. ♫ Because I hid in a place without wind ♫
I've said everything.
Hope you stop dwelling on this matter. ♫ Like the wind ♫
I'm leaving now. ♫ When you are around ♫
Take care. ♫ the clouds descend ♫
♫ You roll up thousand layers of waves ♫

Chen Yu, you big liar! ♫ Aren't you like the wind ♫
I don't believe anything you two say! ♫ Rustling as you intrude ♫
♫ And then announce that good weather has returned ♫
You're both liars! ♫ Like we've never been in love ♫
He worked for the Emperor.
There were only two options after I captured him.
Surrender or die. ♫ You're like the wind ♫
I asked him to make a choice between life and death.
He chose life, so he had to surrender and pledge loyalty to me. ♫ Gently and flowy when touched ♫
I didn't force him to do anything. It was his choice. ♫ Taking away all my resistance,
You liars! ♫ not rushing to make me surrender ♫
I don't believe Grand Master Zhu is dead!
I don't believe he will give up on me either! ♫ Aren't you like the wind ♫
I don't believe it!
♫ Rustling as you intrude ♫
♫ Too bad, I willingly walked into the trap ♫
Servant! Tie Miss Zhu up!
Take out all the sharp objects inside her tent to prevent her from committing suicide.
Keep an eye on her mood. If there are problems, inform me immediately.
Yes.
Zhu brat, if I can have you by doing this,
I'd rather be a despicable man.
How's Buqi?
Zhu brat has deep feelings for you.
I'm thinking if I should kill you now.
I can just have those nobility surrender to me by other means.
You threatened me to cut ties with her.
I did it.
Right. But I'm not in need of good generals.
You have no use to me.
I'm the first royal relative to surrender to you,
so everyone's checking on how you'll treat me.
First?
Fine. You have a point.
I'll have someone assist you into settling down.
In a few days, you'll head south with me.
I have a task for you.
You're now the ruler of half this empire.
I hope you can keep your promise
and treat Buqi well.
