[The killer bride]

[Episode 21]

What are you looking for?

The Pharmacopoeia.

At a time like this?

Why are you looking for the Pharmacopoeia now?

To make medicine.

What kind of medicine?

Turtle Breathing Pill.

Turtle Breathing Pill?

What is that?

Something to help Yueyao escape.

I'll help you look for it then.

Found it.

We have 20 hours left.

Can we make it work?

Hey.

We've tested it on that rat so many times,

and it still hasn't worked.

We've only got eight hours left. Can we make it work or not?

Si Yueyao.

Are you sure you won't reconsider my proposal?

Your number is up,

yet you're still so calm.

Wait!

I...

I still have something to say to Si Yueyao.

Your Highness, please don't let emotions cloud your judgment.

I'm my grandpa, His Majesty's most beloved princess.

Master Mao, as you work in the imperial court,

won't you do me this favor?

Then I

will grant you this favor, Your Highness.

I wonder how things are going with them.

Why haven't they come yet?

Yueyao, don't be afraid.

I will protect you, I promise.

Your Highness, it's about time.

The hour has come.

It's time to send Si Yueyao on her way to the netherworld.

I'm not done yet!

Guards!

Escort Her Highness back to rest.

I'd like to see who dares to touch me!

Your Highness, are you trying to delay the execution?

You...

Master Mao!

Master Mao.

I want to personally see her off.

After all,

we were husband and wife.

Very well.

I'm sure Mrs. He would be pleased with this arrangement.

Lord He, you're indeed ruthless.

Your future is bright indeed.

Master Mao, I'd like to bury her myself.

I hope you will allow it.

Of course you may.

Please.

I suddenly remembered that

Si Yueyao is skilled in the use of poisons.

If the poison failed to kill her completely,

wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?

Don't you agree,

Lord He?

Yueyao.

Yueyao.

Yueyao!

What are you trying to do?

I'm going to kill you

to avenge Yueyao.

Yunxing!

Don't worry.

Since I asked a man of sacrifice to save you using disguise,

of course I won't kill you.

Do you want to know why I saved you?

I saved you

because of your mother, Yao Pan'er.

You killed my mother,

yet you're saying you saved me because of her?

Ridiculous.

Your mother's death can't be blamed solely on us.

Your father, Si Cheng,

and your husband, He Yunxing, both played a part in this.

You're talking nonsense.

My mother's letter clearly stated the whole truth.

It was you who pushed my mother to the brink of death.

It was you who killed my mother!

Silly girl.

Is this the letter you're talking about?

[To Si Cheng, my husband: I was a spy sent by Daqiu to the Qing State.]

How did this letter end up in your hands?

I forged this.

Does it look like the real one?

Think carefully.

Where did you get

that previous letter?

Did you actually see your mother write that letter?

Couldn't it have been forged by Si Cheng?

How is that possible?

Why not?

Yueyao.

I grew up with your mother. We ate and lived together,

trained together,

and we came from Daqiu to the Qing State together.

We were once the closest of friends.

Back then,

after Si Cheng discovered your mother's identity as a spy,

he wanted to kill both you and your mother.

Your mother fled with you to protect you.

Think about it carefully.

If your mother hadn't deliberately gone into hiding,

how could Si Cheng have failed to find any trace of you?

No way.

And if Daqiu

really wanted her dead,

we would have killed her long ago.

Would we have waited over ten years?

This can't be true.

I don't believe it.

I saw Sui Feng kill my mother with my own eyes.

Is what you see always the truth?

Then you also saw with your own eyes

that He Yunxing was originally a helpless orphan,

but after your mother was killed,

he smoothly entered the Shisi Government Office.

In just four years,

he underwent a complete transformation

and became the Chief Commander of the Shisi Government Office.

What are you implying?

He climbed to his high position

by stepping on your mother's corpse.

That's nonsense!

You don't believe me?

Then see for yourself.

He Yunxing has made meritorious contributions by reporting Yao Pan'er's identity as a spy.

Although the spy is already dead,

merits should still be rewarded.

He Yunxing is hereby permitted to enter and serve in Shisi Government Office.

Look carefully.

This bears the golden seal of the Emperor of the Qing State.

[...Merits should still be rewarded. He Yunxing is hereby permitted to enter and serve in Shisi Government Office.]

[He Yunxing has made meritorious contributions by reporting Yao Pan'er's identity as a spy. Although the spy is already dead...]

No one can forge this.

I know it's hard for you to accept this right now.

I will let you see the truth with your own eyes.

Yueyao.

After I avenge you

and your mother,

I will come to you.

Then we can

be together forever,

never to be separated again.

We can play pitch-pot,

fly kites,

and visit the night market you'd been longing for.

We'll go eat delicious sugar cakes.

The silver threads used for disguise...

She is not Yueyao.
