"Snow Tower, Episode 24"
Tower Master Xiao.
Mother!
Mother, Mother!
Xiao Yi Qing!
Guards! Guards!
Take care of Madam Long for me!
The rest of you, follow me!
Yes!
Lady Jing.
Have you seen Qing Ya?
Why are you looking for him in such a rush?
I have no time to explain.
Do you have a doctor in your residence?
-Yes, I'll take you there. -Alright.
Take down Shu Jing Rong!
Brother!
"Long Residence"
Lady Jing,
where is Xiao Yi Qing?
The fatal wound on my mother's neck...
was caused by the Shadow Sun Dagger.
You should know this wound better than I do!
Lady Jing,
don't you think that you owe us,
the Long family, an explanation?
So what if it's caused by Shadow Sun Dagger?
Someone must have used it to kill her,
and framed the Tower Master.
Shadow Sun Dagger is Xiao Yi Qing's personal weapon,
it never leaves his side.
Lady Jing, you can't say that without any proof!
Moreover,
in this world,
who'd be able to steal the dagger from the Tower Master?
That's because...
Don't tell anybody...
about my condition.
In this situation,
whatever I say is useless.
Hold up!
What are you trying to do?
I'm going to look for the Tower Master, of course.
If you don't give an explanation to us today,
you won't leave this island!
The Blood Rose Sword has killed many people,
whoever blocks my way will meet their end.
Lady Jing,
Long family members are all over the island.
Even if you could escape from here,
can you escape from Yingge Island?
How would I know if I don't try?
Stop!
Brother,
Madam Long's servant, Xiao Yin, has disappeared.
Also, the time of her disappearance...
is about the same as Tower Master Xiao's.
Something must be wrong.
The injury from the Shadow Sun Dagger...
was fabricated after Madam Long died.
There's a fatal puncture wound on top of the injury.
Something is fishy with Xiao Yin's disappearance.
In order to manipulate Xiao Yin,
my mother made her take the floral poison of Flower Palace.
Judging by the date,
it's about time for her to take the antidote.
If Xiao Yin left the island hastily,
the poison inside her will kill her.
But it's possible that Xiao Yi Qing killed my mother,
stole the flower and then kidnapped the witness, Xiao Yin.
So, I'm leaving the island...
to search for the truth...
and give you an explanation,
proving that the Tower Master and Snow Tower are innocent.
All right.
Lady Jing,
since you promised that you could give us an explanation,
then I'll give you 2 months.
If you find the real culprit,
Long family will return your favor...
by forming an alliance with Snow Tower.
But if you can't prove...
Xiao Yi Qing's innocence after 2 months,
I will devote all forces of Long family...
and go to war with Snow Tower!
Deal.
Please get me a boat as soon as possible.
I will give you a proper answer...
within these 2 months.
Hong Chen,
since you have joined the Snow Tower,
you'll leave with me this time.
Your wish is my command, Lady Jing.
Greetings, Palace Master.
Reporting to Palace Master,
we've escorted Young Palace Master here.
"Ming Che, the Master of Flower Palace"
Did you bring it back?
I've brought it back, Father.
Father, please don't be fired up.
I hid in Long family for 3 years as per your orders.
In the end,
I only managed to get the seed of Azure Azalea.
I deserve your punishing.
Why would I punish you?
No matter what,
this is still the seed of Azure Azalea.
Father,
I've discovered something in Long family.
The traitor of Flower Palace, Madam Long...
is still alive.
When I first entered the island,
she tried to control me by using the floral poison.
But she didn't know that I was taught by you...
and could easily dispel this poison.
Looks like you hid your identity well.
They wouldn't know that,
the floral poison is just like child's play to you.
Before I left, I had killed Madam Long...
and framed it onto the Tower Master, Xiao Yi Qing.
I brought him here as well.
In this case...
They will be at daggers drawn,
and at war once again.
Father, you're very wise.
You saw...
right through my plan.
Very well.
Keep a close eye on Xiao Yi Qing.
No mistakes.
Yes.
Then,
I'll invite her myself to come see it.
Xiao Shi Shui,
I bet it's never crossed your mind that...
one day, your son's life would be in my hands.
"Lan Xue Hall"
Several days have passed,
but still we have no useful information.
The later we find anything,
the greater the danger Yi Qing is in.
But,
ever since Lady Jing sent a pigeon letter back,
Mister Zhong took some men...
to search for Tower Master.
Lan Xue Hall has sent out all their secret agents too.
Is there any news?
Not even a single clue.
By the way,
I've found something about the other matter...
that Lady Jing asked us to investigate.
Is it about Lady Xiao Yin and Flower Palace?
Yes.
Hopefully there's some progress at Feng Qing Garden tonight.
Killing with a borrowed dagger.
With this,
she pushed the Snow Tower to the edge of abyss.
This lady is not as simple as she seems.
Lately,
there's been some disturbances in the tower.
If this continues,
I'm afraid trouble will arise again.
You're right.
Lady Jing.
When will Lady Jing return to Snow Tower?
Lady Jing hasn't returned any messages.
But she's going as fast as she can,
with only Hong Chen traveling with her.
I think she'll be back after a couple of days.
A couple of days...
I'm afraid...
Doctor Mo,
isn't there any other way?
I've already did my best,
but unfortunately, I can't save him.
That can't be.
Doctor Mo, please,
there must be another way!
You must save him, Doctor Mo!
Gao Meng Fei.
At first,
when you disguised as the Crown Prince and tricked me,
you were so high-spirited.
But now,
why have you become like this?
If only Yi Qing was here,
he would be able to think of a way.
But...
But Yi Qing now...
is nowhere to be found.
Xiao Tai.
Now that Yi Qing isn't here,
we are the persons in charge of Snow Tower.
We have to learn how to control our emotions.
When Yi Qing isn't here,
we have to take care of Snow Tower for him.
We definitely can't show...
our weak side to the outsiders.
Don't worry.
There will be a way.
I believe you.
Just now, I acted too hastily.
Nan Chu, look at him.
How is he?
His pulse is getting weaker.
I'll get Doctor Mo!
Father!
What happened, Xiao Tai?
Father, look at Gao Meng Fei!
-He's dying! -Master.
Save him, father!
How is it, father?
I'm afraid that...
he won't live past 2 hours.
Less than 2 hours?
Is he really...
not going to make it?
Get up. Hurry and get up!
We've been traveling day and night,
the horse must be tired.
Leave with my horse first.
Thank you.
Reporting to Mistress,
the Palace Master of Flower Palace has arrived.
Reporting to Mistress,
the Palace Master of Flower Palace has arrived.
It's been months since Mistress last appeared.
Now, there are rumors about the Mistress being terminally ill,
and that she might die soon.
Could it be...
that prophecy of the 3 years has already...
My mother is dangerously ill,
she's not fit to see anyone now.
He Er,
what happened?
Why did your mother fall into illness so suddenly?
What kind of illness is it?
My mother's illness is merely caused by training.
She'll be fine after a few days of rest.
Don't tell anyone about the Mistress's illness,
to prevent chaos in the palace.
Yes.
Bing Ling,
go to Hong Lian Prison now...
and do what I told you to do.
Leave us alone for now.
Yes.
He Er.
Palace Master, please follow me.
Hua Lian,
at the time, you were the reason...
that I remodeled the Grand Hall of Flower Palace...
and made it look like the Grand Hall of Moon Palace.
Back then,
I was young and impetuous.
I knew that your mother was in love with someone else.
In a fit of anger,
I left.
I made a ten-year promise with your mother before.
Now,
she still doesn't want to see me.
Don't worry,
she's not seeing anyone now...
because of her bad health.
When she has recovered,
I'll go talk to her again.
He Er,
for all these years,
I have indeed treated you and your mother unfairly.
But,
the ten-year promise is coming to an end.
The first reason I came...
is because I wanted to use the seed of Azure Azalea...
to make your mother smile.
Secondly, I wanted to tell her...
that I have captured the son of Xiao Shi Shui.
Xiao Yi Qing?
That...that's impossible.
Do you know what this is?
Moon Spirit.
Moon Spirit belongs to the Sect anyway.
Mother harbors a deep hatred towards him and his father,
if she sees this,
it'll cure her from her illness for sure.
"Serenity"
Your Highness,
my name is Chi Xiao Tai,
I'm a junior to the Young Master of Snow Tower.
How's your martial art skills?
Your Highness,
other than to Yi Qing,
I have never lost in any battle.
Well, that's great to know.
I may have only fought with Yi Qing and Nan Chu,
but I'm not lying either.
Lady Chi is so promising at such a young age.
My lady,
in this case,
I should tell you the truth.
I don't know any martial arts at all.
As there's been a lot of assassination attempts,
I couldn't eat well...
nor sleep well.
So,
I hope that you can protect me closely.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
So long as I'm here,
I won't let you be in any harm.
Good.
Then, I'm in your hands.
A good-for-nothing.
What did you say?
I said...
I'll drink it.
Why did you finish it?
Didn't you ask me to?
Since you gave me an order,
then I'll have to follow through.
Waiter, get me another bowl.
Alright!
Sir, your soup.
Let me tell you.
Among the street foods in Luoyang,
this mutton soup is the most famous one.
Just now, when I tried it,
it really tasted fantastic.
If you don't want it,
I'll try this for you as well.
Gao Meng Fei.
They said that the Sea Flower...
is a rare treasure of the world.
But you're going to leave this world...
without even seeing it.
We have known each other for so many years,
but...
Master,
are you really out of methods?
I'll get someone to arrange the funeral.
-I've brought the flower! -Lady Jing!
It's finally here.
Hurry.
Okay, I'll prepare it now.
Where is Meng Fei?
Now,
it all depends on his fate.
Meng Fei, Meng Fei.
Lady Jing,
you already did your best.
Go take some rest,
leave this to us.
Jing.
Tower Master Xiao, you really do care...
about Lady Jing.
I had no idea that Madam Long's servant...
was so good at hiding her skills.
Right now, you must be thinking...
what exactly happened...
after you had passed out.
This Shadow Sun Dagger,
it's an exceptional dagger.
But if you're not familiar with it,
it's pretty hard to use.
You didn't hurt yourself...
by using my dagger, did you?
Thank you for your concern.
The person who was hurt by this dagger...
is someone from the Long family.
The Shadow Sun Dagger hurt someone from Long family.
I guess no matter what,
I'll be held responsible for this.
Tower Master Xiao, you're bright indeed.
Now, the Master of Long family...
must be thinking it's you who killed Madam Long.
Is Jing still in Long Residence?
Whether or not Lady Jing could escape,
that would require her own ability.
You chose your methods well,
using my dagger to frame me.
It seems like...
you already have a backup plan.
I haven't thought of a backup plan,
it's just that I was too anxious,
and I couldn't think of another way.
While you, the Snow Tower...
has your thumb on all the information in the world.
So, I could only try by taking this risk.
Since you love Lady Jing,
then of course you'll understand...
how painful it is to miss someone.
The pain of missing someone is not fatal,
but it hurts deeply.
Looks like you...
are looking for your lover.
That's right.
That's why I brought you here.
With your command,
you can get any information in this world.
Isn't that so?
But what if I don't want to help you?
If you want to leave the Flower Palace in one piece,
then you're in no place to bargain with me.
So this is the Flower Palace.
Tower Master Xiao, if you have a death wish,
then I won't force you.
Lady Xiao Yin,
the Snow Tower and I...
only do fair trade.
No matter when,
where,
or who.
Just do as you wish.
You...
Lady Jing.
How is Gao Meng Fei doing now?
Doctor Mo has already mixed the Azure Azalea into his medicine...
and fed it to Young Hero Gao.
If he could make it through the night,
he'll be fine.
Regarding my inquisitions,
did Lan Xue Hall find anything?
The current Palace Master of Flower Palace, Ming Che...
used to be a traveler.
Later, he accidentally entered the Flower Valley and got poisoned.
He was saved by the former Palace Master of Flower Palace.
And then, both of them fell in love with each other...
and got married.
Until a few years ago,
the former Palace Master passed away due to illness,
so Ming Che succeeded...
as the Palace Master of Flower Palace.
This Flower Palace is very quiet and mysterious.
There are very little news...
about them circulating in the world.
Even Lan Xue Hall...
only found out this much.
Madam Long was the rebel of Flower Palace.
In these few decades,
did the Flower Palace send anyone to find her?
It has been a long time since Madam Long...
betrayed them.
Even Lan Xue Hall...
couldn't really trace back.
But we found some reliable news...
about Xiao Yin.
In these few years,
Jiangnan's best swordsman, Bi Luo...
has been searching for a young girl.
It's said that, that girl is the love of his life.
But after searching for her everywhere,
he still couldn't find her.
The girl he's searching for is Xiao Yin.
Yes.
Zi Mo...
has already found some information on Bi Luo.
I believe, very soon,
we will obtain some reliable information.
If we found out Xiao Yin's real identity,
can we then find the whereabouts of Tower Master?
Yes.
All right.
By the way,
before Tower Master disappeared,
he appointed me as the Lady of the tower.
From now on, if he's absent,
all of Snow Tower will follow my command.
All right.
I'll announce this matter...
to everyone in the tower now.
Don't you doubt a single word I say?
I have no token of proof from him either.
Actually, before Yi Qing went to Long Residence,
he already told me about this.
He told me that...
the only person who can fight alongside him in the future...
is you,
Lady Jing.
Actually, Lady Jing,
there are certain things that shouldn't be said by me.
But,
during the past 3 years,
when you weren't in Snow Tower,
but Yi Qing never once missed...
any of your news.
You can say that every hardship you had in the world...
was arranged by him.
♪ The drawn sword drew a red painting. ♪
♪ Blood is spilling, as the murderous one wields. ♪
Lady Jing,
I grew up with Yi Qing since young.
I've never seen him treating anyone else...
with such care.
♪ She's too naive, but human heart is treacherous. ♪
Please excuse me.
♪ Hate myself for being a mute. ♪
♪ How do I tell her... ♪
Xiao Yi Qing,
that was why,
you managed to find me after I was blind...
and stayed by my side.
♪ Fate is like entwining branches. ♪
♪ Slipping through my fingers like the sand. ♪
♪ Could I really be cursed? ♪
Xiao Yi Qing,
why did you do all these for me...
but never told me?
♪ But I refuse to give up our love. ♪
♪ All the hearts that owned me. ♪
♪ They have all become demons. ♪
♪ It's torture, she withers before she blooms. ♪
Hurry!
Move faster!
What is going on?
-Mother! -Young Mistress!
-Mother!
The fire has been extinguished,
but everything is destroyed.
Mother! Mother! Mother!
Young Mistress!
We found a body on the scene.
Judging from the remainder of the clothes,
it should be Mistress's.
-Mother! -Young Mistress!
Young Mistress!
He Er! He Er.
What happened?
It was all fine just now.
Why was there a fire out of nowhere?
It's Xue Wen,
it must be her.
Ever since mother was ill,
she never let anyone come close to her.
Mother kept saying that...
she wanted to see Xue Wen.
Today, she ordered Bing Ling...
to take Xue Wen to see her.
I never thought that...
this would happen.
It must be Xue Wen.
When she saw mother was ill,
she lost her mind.
She killed mother and burned her chamber!
That's...
But she's her elder!
How could she do that?
You couldn't meet my mother after all.
Where is my wife?
He Er,
where is your mother's body?
Tell me!
Mother's body is just outside the hall.
Reporting to Young Mistress,
an apprentice found Xue Wen...
trying to escape just outside the door.
We've captured her.
It really was you.
Why?
Why did you kill my mother?
She was your elder!
Why?
Why did you set fire...
and burned down her chamber and my mother?
The bond between mother and daughter is nothing but this.
So what if we're from the same school?
From the very beginning, you already had...
the desire to kill my mother.
You hate her.
You hate her for imprisoning you in Hong Lian Prison for many years.
You hate her for killing Xiao Shi Shui,
stopping you from reuniting with him.
However,
mother didn't kill you because...
you were from the same school.
But you...
How can you be so cruel and cold-blooded?
The Moon Sect...
will be defeated in the hands of Snow Tower!
At that time, my son...
will take me out of here.
Fine.
I shall spare your life for now.
I'll be waiting for the day when Snow Tower fights us.
I will let Xiao Yi Qing...
die before you.
The Moon Sect...
is counting its days.
Do you know that...
the things that you did...
will eventually...
come to light?
What did you say?
Take her to Hong Lian Prison!
Yes.
The three-year limit has come true,
I can't wait to witness your future!
Young Mistress.
Follow the orders that Young Mistress gave,
and arrange for the funeral.
Don't delay it.
-Yes. -Yes.
Could what Xue Wen said be true?
Even if Xue Wen was a Star Reader in the past,
but without the Moon Spirit,
whatever she says is worthless.
Young Mistress, you can be rest assured.
My mother,
the leader of Moon Sect...
was burned to death yesterday.
