[I Will Never Let You Go]
[Episode 18]
If you really care about her, then remember my words.
Quickly bury Lady as soon as possible. I will then take her away.
Okay. Little Sister Buqi told me to trust you.
If you can save her, I'll do anything!
I can't expose my identity yet.
I'll have to trouble you, Young Master.
Little Sister Buqi,
how many more secrets do you have?
Who wanted to poison you and harm you?
Why won't you tell me?
Who is the person you want to protect?
The person you want to protect is Lotus Robe Knight!
I should've guessed it was Lotus Robe Knight.
Lotus Robe Knight is the only person in Mo Manor who can come and go freely.
He must've been the one who poisoned you!
Little Sister Buqi, how many love-hate entanglement do you have with him?
When he came to find you, he allowed you to pass out in the courtyard.
He delivered you snake gall, but had to let it pass through my hands.
Your body is poisoned,
yet your hand still holds the bunny lantern that he gave you.
Why are you like this?
Why did he poison you if you love him so much?
Lady! Lady!
What hour of the day is it?
It's 7:00 a.m.
I'm going to notify Cousin and Madam
that Lady has been poisoned to death.
I'll ask them if they want to notify the Prince Manor right now,
or wait until after the government money bidding.
Madam has gone to participate in the government money bidding.
Don't worry about that. Go notify Cousin.
He will decide everything.
Lady.
Hurry!
Yes.
Lang, how did this happen?
Buqi, how did she suddenly die?
Cousin, it looks like you really weren't poisoned.
You were never actually poisoned.
If I didn't go look for your antidote,
I wouldn't have left.
If I hadn't left,
Lotus Robe Knight wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter and poison Buqi!
How do you know it was Lotus Robe Knight who poisoned her?
When I found her,
she was still holding the bunny lantern.
That lantern was given by Lotus Robe Knight.
She knows the person who poisoned her,
but she won't tell me no matter what.
The person she wants to protect,
who can it be besides Lotus Robe Knight?!
Cousin, why did you pretend to be poisoned?
What were you trying to do?!
Xiuchun.
Tell Uncle Mo to buy a coffin and set up the funeral stage.
To outsiders,
say that the Second Lady of the House of Mo
had suddenly fallen ill and passed away.
Yes.
If Buqi's being buried,
aren't you going to ask Seventh Prince first?
The Emperor didn't give Buqi a title.
Buqi is still the Second Lady of Mo Manor.
Mo Manor will conduct the funeral affairs.
I will go to the Prince Manor,
but I will wait until after the government money bidding before going to see Prince.
Lang, you know
that it was Mingyue Villa who poisoned me!
I just took advantage of the opportunity to beat them at their own game.
I'll tell you the reasons next time.
Since you knew that someone poisoned her,
why did you not protect her better,
and let her become the sacrificial token of this competition for the Imperial Treasury!
Did you think I wanted to?!
His Highness has arrived.
Greetings, Your Highness.
You may all rise.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Today, Father does not feel well.
So I, as Heir Apparent, will run the bidding.
This is also my first time running the treasury bidding.
I want to help the Emperor save some money.
So, the venue was placed here in our manor.
If anything is lacking, please be understanding.
Your Highness is too courteous.
To prevent a closely fought contest,
each bidder is only given three chances to bid.
The total time is one incense time.
When it's your turn to bid, you have to give it right away.
The person with the highest bid wins.
At such a short time, how should we calculate it?
How can we find out our opponent's bottom line?
Isn't this asking us to fight with the lowest possible profit in giving our bid?
I know, right.
Xiaoliu.
The bidding starts now. The first item.
Th right to procure and sell palace fragrances.
The last item to be bid will start now.
The right to run the Imperial Treasury.
[Government Funds]
Didn't the rumors say that Mingyue Villa and Mo Manor were competing for this?
Why isn't Mingyue Villa competing, and instead Zhu Manor has stepped forward?
Who knows what games those two families are playing?
Mo Manor, 4 million taels.
Zhu Manor, 4 million taels.
At the first bid, he's already paid one million more taels than last year's price!
Will they still have any profit with this? Aren't their two families giving their all in here?
There are two more bids!
Can you even guess what the last price will be?
Mo Manor, 5 million taels.
Zhu Manor, 5,2 million taels.
Mo Manor, 8 million taels!
Zhu Manor! 8 million and 300 taels!
They bid just 300 more taels? Do the House of Zhu from Jiangnan have some thousand mile eyes and wind-like ears
- that they can see the House of Mo's maximum bid price? - Something must be up, don't talk about it!
There must be something up!
Okay. Congratulations to House of Zhu for obtaining the rights to circulate government funds.
Steward Zhu, since the House of Zhu obtained the rights to circulate government funds,
you must immediately pay twenty percent of your bid to the state treasury.
The other 80% must be paid within half a month.
Or else, the bid fails. Steward Zhu,
please prepare the bid money immediately so I can report it to the Emperor.
Don't worry, Your Highness. Within seven days, the money will certainly be paid.
Very good!
Liu Mingyue,
you already got what you wanted regarding the circulation of government funds.
As for Biluotian, you probably won't disappoint me. Right?
Don't worry. Once the bid is settled,
I will take you to Biluotian.
Your Highness.
Go back first.
Your Highness, the person has come.
Your Highness.
I was unable to take good care of Buqi.
Please punish me.
What is wrong with Buqi?
Hurry and speak!
There was more than one assassin from Mingyue Villa that came to kill me.
They entered Mo Manor last night and poisoned Buqi to death.
Buqi is already...
dead.
What did you say? Say that again!
Mingyue Villa sneaked into Mo Manor and killed Buqi.
Please investigate Mingyue Villa!
How could such a thing happen?
Didn't I tell you to protect Buqi?
Didn't you say you had a perfect plan?!
I never imagined...
that they would also attack Buqi!
There was oversight in security. May Prince forgive me!
What do you mean by oversight in security?
- You better explain yourself clearly. - Your Highness, Yun Lang came back to the manor between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m.
Buqi was already dead. No medicine could be useful.
Please contain your grief.
[Mo Manor]
Your Highness.
Why did it end up like this?
Greetings, Your Highness.
I heard... you found her.
Yes.
When I went to find her this morning, I discovered that she...
She had coughed up a lot of blood then.
But... it was too late to save her then.
It was the Lotus Robe Knight who poisoned her.
Please help me find the Lotus Robe Knight! I must kill him!
What proof do you have that it was the Lotus Robe Knight?
When I found her, she was holding a bunny lantern.
The Lotus Robe Knight gave her that lantern.
Buqi knew who poisoned her, but she refused to tell me!
Who else would she want to protect besides the Lotus Robe Knight?
Has the coroner come?
We haven't invited any coroner yet. May Your Highness give instructions.
We have royal physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy, Miracle Doctor Wang of Huichun Hall,
and the Lin siblings of Yaoling Manor. Do you want us to invite them all here?
Buqi's identity is special. Ask Lady Lin to come.
- Uncle Mo, bring the Lin siblings here. - Yes.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Gre-Greetings, Your Highness.
Please find out how Buqi died. We will be very grateful.
Don't worry, I will definitely find out why Little Sister Buqi died.
Lady Lin.
Please examine her heart, too.
Okay.
Young Master, don't let her pierce her heart.
Her poison hasn't reached the heart yet.
Wait!
Little Sister Dansha, let me do it.
I want to see Buqi one more time.
You don't know how to use the needle. Let me do it instead.
Miss Lin, what's wrong?
N-Nothing.
Your Highness, Little Sister Buqi was poisoned with venom from the pit viper and the five hidden flower.
These poisons mostly come from the north.
- I will go look in Buqi's room! - Yu'er.
This matter,
I will hand it to the Court of Judicial Review for investigation.
Go back to the manor and rest with me.
Royal Father,
I want to look in Buqi's room.
Don't you want to go?
I'm afraid that the scenery would just make me more emotional.
Also,
you've exhausted yourself because of the government bidding this morning.
You should go rest.
I'm not tired.
Fu.
Get in the carriage with me.
Didn't you say that the bloodline of the Biluotian Saintess would never be cut off?
Your Highness,
only when something sacred is offered to the heavens will the bloodline of the Saintess be be cut off.
Or else, it would definitely not be cut off.
Then, why did Hua Buqi die?!
Could it be... Could Xue Fei have given birth to twins?
Your Highness!
It seems like Heaven doesn't want my son to rule the world.
Every time I am close to the Biluotian treasure,
something would come up to hinder me.
Your Highness, should we go to Mingyue Villa?
There's no need.
Just based on Mo Ruofei's statement alone,
Liu Mingyue wouldn't admit it.
Besides, we still have to use Liu Mingyue
to find the other half of the Biluotian map.
Right now, I only hope it is as you say
that the bloodline of the Saintess can not be cut off.
My son... can obtain the Biluotian treasure.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
The bloodline of the Saintess will never end that easily.
We still have a chance to find the other half of the map and the Saintess.
Fu.
Yu'er... likes Hua Buqi.
I could see it in his eyes.
The look in his eyes just now
was the despair of losing the one he loves.
It was not sibling love.
You didn't notice?
Now that you mention it... I remember something.
Recently, strange news came from the kitchen about Yu'er.
One night, he went to the kitchen and sent away the servant on duty.
He also ordered him to put the food on top of the stove.
Later on, the servant found it strange and went back.
He found out that Hua Buqi was eating in the kitchen.
The day Hua Buqi is buried,
watch over Yu'er. Don't let him come out.
The House of Mo is an illustrious aristocratic family.
There will be many officials and merchants
who will come to pay respects.
They fully believe that Hua Buqi is my daughter.
I'm afraid if Yu'er appears, his real emotions will come out.
Once he reveals his emotions, people will become suspicious.
Your Highness.
Pretend you don't exist?
From Xizhou Prefecture to Tianmen Pass,
from Tianmen Pass to the capital's southern lane,
as long as I am in trouble,
you will come to save me.
Only you can make me feel safe!
How can I pretend you don't exist?
The lantern was lit not long ago.
If you don't come out, I'll keep waiting here!
Why is it you?!
It can be anyone, but why does it have to be you?
Give Lotus Robe Knight back to me!
Give him back to me!
Lang told me
that lantern is from the Lotus Robe Knight.
Buqi kept holding it before she died.
There must be a reason.
Perhaps, Lang's words have some sense.
Buqi had been a beggar with Hua Jiu and then became a maid at Yaoling Manor.
How could she know the Lotus Robe Knight?
This person must be very suspicious.
Why do I remember you said Lotus Robe Knight saved you at Tianmen Pass?
If he really is the culprit,
why would he want to kill Buqi?
It's not clear why Lotus Robe Knight appeared at Tianmen Pass.
Perhaps, he has connections with Mingyue Villa.
He killed Buqi and then framed Mingyue Villa.
I never thought that you
were skilled not only in business, but could also solve crimes.
Your Highness, Lotus Robe Knight claims to be a lone warrior.
Rumors also say that he kills innocent people.
No matter what, the House of Mo will post a large reward to capture him.
The truth will be revealed when he is captured.
All right.
Then do as you say.
Buqi entering the House of Mo to be a Lady was also just a plan to expedite things.
Find an auspicious plot of land to bury her.
Just who did it?
If I find out who it is,
that person will definitely go through living hell!
Your Highness,
why did you ask to see me?
Did you kill Buqi?
Speak!
Hua Buqi is dead?!
Was it you?
The last time I used her to threaten you,
I was afraid you'd get rid of all my people in Mo Manor,
so I already told them all to leave!
Right now, I just want to fight against Liu Mingyue.
I definitely didn't give this order!
Right now, I just want to cooperate with you!
Don't let me find out it was you!
Slow down!
You drink like this every time!
If you don't care about your body, my heart aches for my wine!
What's wrong?
Nothing.
The government bidding has ended, so I'm idle.
Come, drink!
What's wrong? Do you want me to find a doctor?
It's nothing.
I've been holding it back for so long. I finally spit it out.
Stop drinking!
You've always been like this since childhood!
You keep all your thoughts in your heart!
If you weren't hit by an arrow last time,
you wouldn't have let me know you were the Lotus Robe Knight!
Did you ever treat me as your friend?
Hua Buqi is dead.
People from the Mo Manor said
that it was Lotus Robe Knight who poisoned her.
They also said that they would post a large reward to capture him.
Do you believe it?
Hua-Hua Buqi?
Your little sister?
The Lotus Robe Knight poisoned her?
How could that be?
I think something is wrong with Mo Ruofei!
He is just insisting to get someone as a scapegoat.
There must be something odd with this matter. You must investigate clearly.
Yuan Chong,
have you ever fallen in love with a woman?
In the past, I thought I just pitied her.
I pitied how she was the same as me,
lacking a mother since childhood.
I pitied how she was the same as me,
havive no way to control her own fate.
But only today did I realize,
that I like her!
Later on, I found a reason to look for her.
I found excuses to go see her.
Actually,
I just wanted to be with her!
Tell me... Should I be struck by lightning?
Don't tell me you fell in love with...
If I'm alive, I'll return to your side.
If I'm dead, please think of me forever.
It hurts right here. It hurts a lot.
I now know why mother developed illness from extreme depression.
But why,
why did I only realize after she died?!
You're my buddy. Tell me. Did I get some psychological illness?
Tell me. How could I return to being indifferent as before?!
♫ 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 ♫
As soon as I thought about how lonely she'll be,
my heart would hurt so much.
She just wanted a Lotus Robe Knight,
but I couldn't even give that to her.
♫ Gently and flowy when touched ♫
♫ Taking away all my resistance, ♫
♫ not rushing to make me surrender ♫
♫ Aren't you like the wind ♫
♫ Rustling as you intrude ♫
♫ Too bad, I willingly walked into the trap ♫
♫ You then have no reason to be proud of ♫
♫ Like the wind ♫
♫ You left without a sound ♫
♫ I like this kind of ending ♫
♫ It looks as if both didn't owe each other anything ♫
- Fake death? - Yes.
And I discovered that in the position of Hua Buqi's heart,
there were no signs of the poison.
When I touched her body, it was still very soft.
There was also no discoloration. She didn't look like she'd been dead for several hours.
Yesterday, when I heard that Hua Buqi couldn't be saved,
I thought that we were going to be dead meat.
But I never thought that things would take a new turn.
Dansha, let's spread the news.
As long as we are alive, there's hope for us.
We can take revenge for Father.
I'm going to let you guys enter Mo Manor.
Help me watch over Hua Buqi. Do not let anyone harm her.
Once the matter is done,
I will give you guys the antidote.
Brother, there's one more thing.
When I tested Buqi's blood earlier,
Brother Yun was acting weirdly.
He seems to know that Buqi isn't dead yet.
Dansha, don't worry about this right now.
Let's spread the news first.
The person who poisoned her knows more about poisons than I do.
That person can also probably cure Hua Buqi's poison.
As long as Hua Buqi is not dead,
we have not failed the task he assigned us.
Maybe, he'll also give us our antidote.
Brother be careful. I'm going to check on Brother Yun first.
Okay.
Brother Yun, if Sister Buqi didn't die,
would you marry her?
What do you mean?
Brother Yun, I like you.
But I can tell that you only have Buqi in your eyes.
The only person you're anxious and care about is Buqi.
I've been by your side,
but you've never looked at me once.
You didn't sleep all last night, right?
Your eyes are bloodshot.
I envy her.
She was just a naughty girl that was born a beggar,
but so many people like her.
Enough!
She's already dead!
When she was alive, she didn't have very many good days.
Even though she's dead, I didn't see many people mourning her.
What are you envious of her for?
Envious that she was poisoned by the person she loved,
or envious that she was a naughty girl who was born a beggar?!
No, Brother Yun. That's not what I meant!
I...
Little Sister Dansha,
she's not as composed as you,
nor does she have your medical skills. She also doesn't have your warmth and caring personality.
But because of this, does it make her unworthy for people to like her?
Let's drop it. I'm going to tell you honestly.
Buqi did not die.
She's faking her death. After she was poisoned,
she took a weird medicine to stop the poison.
How did you know?
You cannot tell anybody else.
You can't say anything even if it's rotting in your stomach.
The reason why you're always here
is because you already knew?
Even if I beg you, you cannot tell anyone else.
She needs to leave the capital. I'm begging you.
As long as you help me with this,
I'll do anything you say.
Brother Yun, you'll do anything I say?
Yes.
Then I want you to marry me.
Marriage is a major event.
We should listen to what the parents say and the recommendation of a matchmaker.
It is improper to privately set one's marriage.
I will tell Older Brother to propose marriage to Feiyun Fortress. He also wants me to marry you.
Brother Yun, as long as you promise me,
I won't say anything about what happened today.
Little Sister Buqi not dying is also not a big deal.
Prince Manor won't pursue it, and the House of Mo won't have to take responsibility.
Isn't that better?
I don't understand why Brother Yun is nervous.
I should actually tell Mo Ruofei this good news earlier
and His Highness.
Although His Highness wasn't angry, his face was very rigid.
Who knows if the royal manor will vent their anger to the House of Mo?
The Mo family was kind to me, so it's just right that I repay their kindness.
Sister Dansha,
I hate it the most when people threaten me.
You should be happy that I'm not a bloodthirsty person.
Otherwise, I would kill you to silence you.
Is Brother Yun agreeing?
I can promise you,
but don't make me kill you.
Looks like Buqi
is more important to you than I thought.
A man's promise must be kept. Since Brother Yun agreed to my request,
I trust that you'll keep your promise.
I hope you will, too.
I know you really hate me right now.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as I can stay by your side, I don't care about anything else.
- Brother Yun, I'll help you keep watch over the coffin. - No need.
Yu'er, Lady will be buried today. You shouldn't go.
Yu'er, Prince knows your feelings.
He's doing this for you. Don't go.
Teacher, just let me go there.
Teacher!
