[Unique Lady 2]

[Episode 24]

This place is unfrequented,

and it won't be exposed easily.

Stop hesitating!

I know that

you've been missing Meng these days.

Now, Meng is kidnapped.

You must be worried fretfully.

Don't worry.

I believe that Zhong Wu Mei will resolve the problem soon.

We don't have to hide here for good, either.

Uncle Tang left his last words!

It's more important to save Tang Meng!

Thank you, Jing.

This paper...

This is paper is made of the same material

as the one that used to frame Xi Que.

This is a paper from Jin Chen's mansion.

Jin Chen?

Can it be...

They are luring the guards out.

Xi Que, you...

You are right.

Unfortunately,

it's too late.

Consort, long time no see.

We are destined.

Certainly, I have to visit you personally.

Seems like these are all your plans.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Did he find out that the bead is with me?

Why did he come?

Why are you

abducting me?

Of course I'm here to ask Consort something.

You don't have to be this abruptly?

If you invite me, I'll go.

Let Xi Que go.

Okay.

I happen to need a person

to inform this to Zhong Wu Mei.

Is he trying to use me to threaten Zhong Wu Mei?

Miss, Xi Que is not leaving.

Xi Que, listen.

Their target is me.

If they haven't reach their goal,

nothing will happen to me.

It will be more dangerous if you're following me.

Moreover,

if you're not going back,

who can inform Zhong Wu Mei to save me?

I got it.

Let's go, Prince Jing Yuan.

I'm here to pay the ransom.

No matter who you are,

please release my wife.

Meng!

Meng!

This temple is empty.

Is this a wrong place?

Impossible.

The place written in the letter is here.

Master Jiang!

-Master Jiang! -Master Jiang!

Jiang.

This game has just started.

Where am I?

Oh, right,

I'm abducted by Jin Chen.

What are you doing?

Don't come close to me!

Consort, you have such a bad temper.

You are already a prisoner,

but you still act like a rich lady.

Seems like you're not going to tell me

about the crystal bead.

You changed the crystal bead secretly

and brought crisis to Sheng Jing people.

What else are you going to do?

For my righteousness,

there are nothing to be afraid of.

You wretch.

Zhong family treated you so nicely,

why are you destroying Sheng Jing like this?

Treated me nicely?

How they treated my father that year?

Were they nice?

That's because your father killed the innocent.

He deserved that!

You...!

Consort, you're so kind.

That time, when you pointed out Yu,

why weren't you being nice?

Yu

is really your person?

Of course she's mine.

Or else, why would I know so well about

everything in the mansion of Prince Yuan Zheng?

She did so much for you.

That day, when she died in front of you,

you...

You felt nothing.

I saved her.

I saved her life.

What's wrong with her dying for me?

You bastard!

She loved you so much.

What is love?

I would like to have a look.

Can the love you mentioned

make you alive as you wish?

Jin Chen is really crazy.

Luckily he still doesn't know the secret of the crystal bead.

I have to find a way to escape.

Though Bei Yu has promised to supply the water,

it can only

meet people's need temporarily.

It's not a permanent solution.

If we want to solve the water supply problem completely,

we need to tackle the origin.

This, Xi Ling River, is the nearest river

from Sheng Jing.

If we dig a canal from its nearest spot

to Sheng Jing,

within half a month,

we can solve the water supply problem completely.

This is a serious matter,

I hope everyone will try your best.

Yes.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

What's wrong? You look so anxious.

Xi Que is here.

She said that Jin Chen lured the guards out

and abducted the consort.

Where are you going?

Mind your own business, I'm just looking around.

Are you looking for me?

Those guys are tireless!

This won't bring me down.

Strengthen the guards!

Master ordered

not to even let a fly fly out.

-Yes! -Yes!

What?

All the historical dramas are lying.

Escaping shouldn't be that easy?

Miss.

Sir slept all day long.

Did we use too much drug?

What do you know?

Jiang went through so much these days.

He must be tired

and deeply in sleep.

Go out.

Yes.

Jiang.

It's all my fault.

I always make you fall into bad people's traps.

I wish for nothing.

As long as you are always by my side,

I will accompany you forever.

We can leave all the fights

and be together forever.

Jiang.

You're back finally.

It will be great if I have a dove.

If someone sees this, then...

I heard that you don't like

the dishes here.

Who knows whether they are poisoned?

I'm treating you very nicely,

I'm not bullying you.

Besides,

if you starve,

how can you run away?

There's a temple on the East Mountain.

I'm waiting to be saved near an old locust tree.

Jing.

Consort.

You're my guest.

Seems like my guest thinks that

I'm not treating her well.

How about this?

Why don't we move to another place?

Where are you bringing me to?

Just guess.

Search!

Don't miss out on a single thing!

-Yes! -Yes!

Darn it.

How can he use such a despicable trick?

Your Highness, I've asked people

to look around inside and outside Sheng Jing.

We will definitely find the consort.

Jin Chen captured Jing

and asked Xi Que to inform me,

but he didn't contact me directly.

What is his purpose?

Jin Chen is evil and cunning. Your Highness, you should be careful.

Your Highness.

We found this in a gap in the corridor.

It's from Qi Yu's army.

Can it be

Liu Xiu Wen who cooperated with Jin Chen to abduct Jing?

Why did he do that?

I'll send guards to surround Qi Yu's Palace!

No!

We just settled the case in Qi Yu Village.

If we surround them without evidence,

we might be backfired.

But, Consort...

I know.

As long as Jing is captured,

I wouldn't stay calm and be at ease.

But if we go abruptly without a plan,

she might be harmed.

I didn't think it twice.

Send a guard to spy on Liu Xiu Wen.

Yes.

Liu Xiu Wen,

will you really harm Jing?

Or,

is Jin Chen making use of you?

Hua Ying Xue?

Master, how about it?

Your skills on this Magic Flower piece does improve a lot,

but don't be proud.

You have to calm yourself down

to understand the meaning behind this piece.

Yes. I get it.

Jin Chen?

Why is he here?

Luckily, it's just a dream.

But since I dreamt of this,

is it hinting at anything?

Master!

Little Leaf.

Master, something wrong happened.

My crystal bead is stolen

and the Head is missing.

I didn't expect that

he would come in the end.

He?

Master, what is happening?

This hundred-year fight has a long history.

Master knew that this would happen.

However, we can't avoid it.

Elder Cang Jian of Tian Yi Clique, Hua Ying Chi.

Sorry for not welcoming you timely.

We meet again.

Prince Jing Yuan,

you've committed a serious crime.

I'm advising you to stop now,

to stop yourself from falling deeper.

I didn't expect that practitioners like you

would care about such a normal affair.

The head of my clique is with you.

How could it be a normal affair?

Everything in this world happens for a reason.

It's not too late to stop your wrongdoings.

What if I'm not doing it?

Since you're not listening to me,

don't blame me for...

Jing.

Can it be...?

This...

Is this Master's Immortal Rope?

You...

I didn't expect that you care about this lady so much.

I only abducted Lin Luo Jing,

but I'm getting such a reward?

You're really the one who captured Jing.

You...

Master, Prince Qi Yu is here.

He comes at the right time.

Having Tang Meng captured,

there's no need to fear about Jiang Xuan Yu.

If I have Hua Ying Yun,

Hua Ying Chi would come on his own.

If I have Lin Luo Jing,

Zhong Wu Mei will be mine,

and that devoted Liu Xiu Wen

will be under my control too.

Now the game is truly on.

Moving the crystal bead

will cut off Sheng Jing River.

Why didn't you tell me?

You already know.

I told you.

My purpose is to bring fortune to Qi Yu,

not to affect people in Sheng Jing.

Now, even my Qi Yu clan is...

Your Highness!

You are the one who changed the crystal bead.

Now, you are blaming it on me?

That's because

I didn't know that it would cause this.

If I knew,

I wouldn't move it.

You lied to me.

We shall not continue cooperating then.

Liu Xiu Wen.

Don't you think that you can control me

after getting your power.

Do you think that I can't control you

after giving you the antidote?

You abducted Lin Luo Jing?

Just as I expected.

Only this lady

can make you panic.

Prince Jing Yuan, you're wrong.

This lady hurt me badly.

I won't panic anymore.

But, didn't she break up

with Prince Yuan Zheng?

Why did you abduct her?

Your Highness.

You've seen many lies and truths in this world.

Why can't you understand their drama?

Are they acting?

They never break up?

They are so close.

How can they break up?

Speaking of which, I shall thank you as well

for offering me a well-trained army to abduct Lin Luo Jing.

I was able to do it easily thanks to them.

Alright.

If you're threatening Zhong Wu Mei,

why don't you bring Lin Luo Jing to me?

I'll ask my army to look over her.

Your Highness.

There's a boundary of lying, isn't it?

Now that I gave you the antidote,

I must not be afraid of you checking on it.

Since I abducted Lin Luo Jing,

why shall I give her to someone else?

Seems like you don't trust me.

This is Han Shuang Xue's antidote.

I give it to you as an act of sincerity.

Now,

you won't worry anymore, right?

I hope Your Highness can lend me a well-trained army

to protect me.

Evil!

What's wrong with me being evil?

Today onwards,

I'll leave Qi Yu's Palace.

You can come to my secret room when you need me.

As for Lin Luo Jing,

don't you dare to...

I was rude just now.

I shouldn't have scolded you, Prince Jing Yuan.

This is right.

I will definitely give you what I promised you previously.

And our alliance won't be affected too.

I just want to remind you one thing,

don't think about those useless things.

If you listen to me nicely as you did last time,

I'll guarantee Lin Luo Jing's safety.

Master.

I've checked on the antidote.

No problem.

Han Shuang Xue is fatal.

It's not easy to get this antidote.

Master, hurry and take it

to prevent insomnia.

Now, Jing is with Jin Chen.

Considering the cunning tricks of Jin Chen,

he might let Jing take in Han Shuang Xue.

I shall keep this antidote,

in case I need it later.

Master, hurry and take it.

I'll not

take this antidote for now.

Why?

Jin Chen used this poison to control you for so many years.

We tried so hard to get this antidote.

Enough.

Before we settle the important things,

I won't take this antidote.

Important thing?

Is it about saving Lin Luo Jing?

How do you know that Jin Chen abducted Jing?

Are you involved in this too?

This afternoon,

I heard from outside

when you were quarreling with Jin Chen.

Am I such a person

to you, Master?

This is not for saving her.

It's just that things are not settled yet,

we shall keep this antidote first.

Master.

You never let go of Lin Luo Jing.

How long are you going to lie to yourself?

We underwent so many hardships all these years,

and devoted ourselves to Qi Yu.

But compared with Lin Luo Jing,

it's just nothing.

Am I right?

Yi Yi.

Yes, I can't do it.

I can't ignore this.

However,

don't worry.

I'll settle this well.

You must trust me.

I have been following you

since I was five.

I live for Qi Yu,

and for you.

I already get used to shielding you.

Your Highness, cheers.

I'll give it a shot.

Your Highness, cheers.

I'm willing

to die for you.

But, since Lin Luo Jing appeared,

everything changed.

I've never forget

my responsibilities.

However, you would

to sacrifice your life for her.

Since young, master told me that

the relationship between us

was just master and servant.

I would never forget my identity and position.

But...

But, I'm a human too. I have feelings too.

I can only imagine secretly that

one day,

I can be by your side

and watch everything in this world together.

But now,

where is

your heart?

If Jin Chen

makes you choose

between Qi Yu

and Lin Luo Jing,

who will you choose?

Master.

I can't understand you now.

Where is my heart?

I'm afraid that I don't understand myself too.

Consort, are you planning to escape again?

Let me go!

What's wrong, Consort?

Where are you planning to go again?

You set here up so well.

Where can I go?

What are you planning to do?

What is this?

What's in the food you gave me?

Han Shuang Xue.

The most touted poison of mine.

You will be overwhelmed by pain when it shows effect.

It can also control people's minds.

You...

You, pervert!

You're so evil.

You will be punished.

Be punished?

I never believe in such things.

If God does exist,

he shall make my wish come true soon instead.

I'm wondering what makes you so popular.

You can really make everyone

chasing after you.

Don't touch me!

Are you scared?

You should be.

This is what you should feel.

As if a knife

is hanging above your head,

without knowing

what will happen tomorrow.

I have been feeling it every year, every day.

I must let all of you

to have a taste of it.

I'm not afraid!

I'm not afraid of you!

Zhong Wu Mei

wouldn't be controlled by you, either!

Will Zhong Wu Mei be controlled by me...

Why don't you have a look by yourself?

You abducted Lin Luo Jing?

I just want to remind you one thing,

don't think about those useless things.

If you listen to me nicely as you did last time,

I'll guarantee Lin Luo Jing's safety.

Your Highness, Prince Regent of Sheng Jing asks to see you.

Zhong Wu Mei?

Why is he here?

He said that you asked him to come to Qi Yu's Palace.

Let him come in alone

without guards.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Is Zhong Wu Mei here for the water issue

or Jing?

Why are you here?

Hurry and hide. Zhong Wu Mei is here.

I called Zhong Wu Mei here.

I wrote him a letter in your name.

What are you doing?

It doesn't matter what I'm doing.

What matters is that you should know your own identity

and what I'm holding in hand.

Jin Chen?

Wu Mei, there you are finally.

Indeed, you became more charismatic

after becoming a Prince Regent.

Stop your nonsense!

Where is Jing?

I'm treating her nicely for you.

Moreover,

if you don't listen to me,

your precious Lin Luo Jing's will be...

Don't hurt her.

You can do it on me instead.

So devoted.

So touching.
