=Episode 9=

General Lu, it seems His Majesty trusts me

more than he trusts you.

I'm heading north for a peace talk.

General Lu, await my good news.

I await your triumphant return, my lord.

By the way, General Lu, I must remind you.

You must protect Zhaoyang at all costs.

Should she vanish or meet an untimely end,

you would surely grieve.

General, Madam is missing.

Find her. Search house by house!

Yes!

Shiqi.

♪A cold blade sunders every vow♪

I remember when I first brought you home,

you vowed your loyalty to me.

♪When the wind blows♪

♪Candle shadows lean♪

With no deceit or secrets,

you'd protect me for a lifetime.

♪Even if I crush mountains, rivers run dry♪

♪Just to undo the knot inside♪

♪Even if true hearts are buried in eternal night♪

♪I'd still wish to dwell in memories bright♪

Yet now, you stand against me.

Xinnian, you're injured.

Let's go home.

♪Wanting to forget♪

Home?

Do I still have a home?

Have you forgotten?

You destroyed my home!

♪Ever-changing cracks♪

Lu Shiqi, what exactly have you hidden from me?

Either tell me now,

or

kill me right here.

Kill me! Come on, kill me!

Kill me!

(I swore to protect you.)

(Yet fate has to toy with us.)

(I can only watch helplessly)

(as you get hurt before my eyes time and again.)

(Yunhe, I will slay all who have harmed you,)

(including myself, who's also guilty.)

Stop!

Speak! Why try to hurt General Lu?

Sir, you're so fierce.

You're hurting me.

Don't be so shameless.

Why are you blushing?

Stop grinning at me.

Tell me, what is your relationship with Madam?

What exactly is Bloom Land?

Where are you and your master really from?

Tell me quickly.

Otherwise, I can't help you.

Then perhaps untie me first?

I will whisper it slowly in your ear.

You... Will you talk or not?

Your hands tremble so.

Your body must be weak.

Yet you wish to protect me?

How difficult it must be for you.

General.

As a girl from Bloom Lane,

if you lose your fair skin,

what shall become of you?

I'm so scared, sir.

You must protect me.

I knew you couldn't bear to hurt me.

It's not true. I did not.

I can bear it.

General, perhaps let's not beat her?

Madam would be displeased if she saw.

Lu Shiqi!

If you dare harm her,

I will make you pay.

(Xinnian doesn't seem to be lying.)

(If I truly use force,)

(she will surely be sad.)

(It seems I can only investigate secretly.)

I warn you,

if you ever dare harm Yunhe,

I will tear you to pieces.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Sir, won't you untie me now?

It hurts so much.

Untie her.

Yes.

General, Yunhe is injured.

As her sister, it pains me greatly.

I must stay in the residence to care for her.

I agree.

What? Don't you agree, General?

I agree.

Since my wife has spoken,

of course I agree.

Shijiu.

Yes?

Entertain her well.

As an honored guest,

if I wish to borrow your deputy,

do you permit it?

I do.

It's not proper.

Luckily, it was a false alarm.

I fear it's more than that.

Yunhe, both you and I underestimated Lu Shiqi.

He faked being poisoned

to secretly investigate Bloom Lane.

If he discovers Bloom Lane's existence,

all girls will be in danger.

Are you thinking of acting immediately?

Delays breed danger.

I can't let you continue to be willful.

I swear here

I will never betray Bloom Lane.

Please give me one night.

Just one night to crack Lu Shiqi's mouth?

I...

Alright.

Handling a man shouldn't rely solely on force.

Especially a man who's survived life-and-death battles.

Kill him.

General, I know I was wrong.

Please punish me.

Then tell me honestly why you took the whipping for Danruo.

What sorcery has she worked on you?

General, Danruo is a good person, a righteous heroine.

Speak.

That day, I saw Yunhe...

Stop.

Call her Madam.

When Madam was still a man...

Stop.

Get to the point.

Have mercy! This is money to call a physician for my child!

- You can't take it! - Money over life?

Let go!

Heroine, spare my life.

Thank you, savior.

Get your child treated.

Thank you, savior.

Danruo is a heroine who robs the rich to aid the poor.

I saw her long sword moving with great smoothness,

like a dragon soaring in clouds and a crane spreading wings.

Like a galaxy turned upside down, her swordsmanship was awe-inspiring.

Her killing moves were like dancing.

Tired of talking?

Here, have a cup of tea.

Thank you, General.

Sir?

Sir, where are you?

I'm feeling unwell.

Each one is trickier than the last.

To avoid a military beating,

delay her for me tonight

and find out her purpose.

Wait, General, I-I can't do it.

When I see her, my legs go weak.

If you can't find out, then kill her yourself.

It's a military order.

General! General!

I...
