[I Will Never Let You Go]

24

[Episode 18]

25

If you really care about her, then remember my words.

26

Quickly bury Lady as soon as possible. I will then take her away.

27

Okay. Little Sister Buqi told me to trust you.

28

If you can save her, I'll do anything!

29

I can't expose my identity yet.

30

I'll have to trouble you, Young Master.

31

Little Sister Buqi,

32

how many more secrets do you have?

33

Who wanted to poison you and harm you?

34

Why won't you tell me?

35

Who is the person you want to protect?

36

The person you want to protect is Lotus Robe Knight!

37

I should've guessed it was Lotus Robe Knight.

38

Lotus Robe Knight is the only person in Mo Manor who can come and go freely.

39

He must've been the one who poisoned you!

40

Little Sister Buqi, how many love-hate entanglement do you have with him?

41

When he came to find you, he allowed you to pass out in the courtyard.

42

He delivered you snake gall, but had to let it pass through my hands.

43

Your body is poisoned,

44

yet your hand still holds the bunny lantern that he gave you.

45

Why are you like this?

46

Why did he poison you if you love him so much?

47

Lady! Lady!

48

What hour of the day is it?

49

It's 7:00 a.m.

50

I'm going to notify Cousin and Madam

51

that Lady has been poisoned to death.

52

I'll ask them if they want to notify the Prince Manor right now,

53

or wait until after the government money bidding.

54

Madam has gone to participate in the government money bidding.

55

Don't worry about that. Go notify Cousin.

56

He will decide everything.

57

Lady.

58

Hurry!

59

Yes.

60

Lang, how did this happen?

61

Buqi, how did she suddenly die?

62

Cousin, it looks like you really weren't poisoned.

63

You were never actually poisoned.

64

If I didn't go look for your antidote,

65

I wouldn't have left.

66

If I hadn't left,

67

Lotus Robe Knight wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter and poison Buqi!

68

How do you know it was Lotus Robe Knight who poisoned her?

69

When I found her,

70

she was still holding the bunny lantern.

71

That lantern was given by Lotus Robe Knight.

72

She knows the person who poisoned her,

73

but she won't tell me no matter what.

74

The person she wants to protect,

75

who can it be besides Lotus Robe Knight?!

76

Cousin, why did you pretend to be poisoned?

77

What were you trying to do?!

78

Xiuchun.

79

Tell Uncle Mo to buy a coffin and set up the funeral stage.

80

To outsiders,

81

say that the Second Lady of the House of Mo

82

had suddenly fallen ill and passed away.

83

Yes.

84

If Buqi's being buried,

85

aren't you going to ask Seventh Prince first?

86

The Emperor didn't give Buqi a title.

87

Buqi is still the Second Lady of Mo Manor.

88

Mo Manor will conduct the funeral affairs.

89

I will go to the Prince Manor,

90

but I will wait until after the government money bidding before going to see Prince.

91

Lang, you know

92

that it was Mingyue Villa who poisoned me!

93

I just took advantage of the opportunity to beat them at their own game.

94

I'll tell you the reasons next time.

95

Since you knew that someone poisoned her,

96

why did you not protect her better,

97

and let her become the sacrificial token of this competition for the Imperial Treasury!

98

Did you think I wanted to?!

99

His Highness has arrived.

100

Greetings, Your Highness.

101

You may all rise.

102

Thank you, Your Highness.

103

Today, Father does not feel well.

104

So I, as Heir Apparent, will run the bidding.

105

This is also my first time running the treasury bidding.

106

I want to help the Emperor save some money.

107

So, the venue was placed here in our manor.

108

If anything is lacking, please be understanding.

109

Your Highness is too courteous.

110

To prevent a closely fought contest,

111

each bidder is only given three chances to bid.

112

The total time is one incense time.

113

When it's your turn to bid, you have to give it right away.

114

The person with the highest bid wins.

115

At such a short time, how should we calculate it?

116

How can we find out our opponent's bottom line?

117

Isn't this asking us to fight with the lowest possible profit in giving our bid?

118

I know, right.

119

Xiaoliu.

120

The bidding starts now. The first item.

121

Th right to procure and sell palace fragrances.

122

The last item to be bid will start now.

123

The right to run the Imperial Treasury.

124

[Government Funds]

125

Didn't the rumors say that Mingyue Villa and Mo Manor were competing for this?

126

Why isn't Mingyue Villa competing, and instead Zhu Manor has stepped forward?

127

Who knows what games those two families are playing?

128

Mo Manor, 4 million taels.

129

Zhu Manor, 4 million taels.

130

At the first bid, he's already paid one million more taels than last year's price!

131

Will they still have any profit with this? Aren't their two families giving their all in here?

132

There are two more bids!

133

Can you even guess what the last price will be?

134

Mo Manor, 5 million taels.

135

Zhu Manor, 5,2 million taels.

136

Mo Manor, 8 million taels!

137

Zhu Manor! 8 million and 300 taels!

138

They bid just 300 more taels? Do the House of Zhu from Jiangnan have some thousand mile eyes and wind-like ears

139

- that they can see the House of Mo's maximum bid price?

- Something must be up, don't talk about it!

140

There must be something up!

141

Okay. Congratulations to House of Zhu for obtaining the rights to circulate government funds.

142

Steward Zhu, since the House of Zhu obtained the rights to circulate government funds,

143

you must immediately pay twenty percent of your bid to the state treasury.

144

The other 80% must be paid within half a month.

145

Or else, the bid fails. Steward Zhu,

146

please prepare the bid money immediately so I can report it to the Emperor.

147

Don't worry, Your Highness. Within seven days, the money will certainly be paid.

148

Very good!

149

Liu Mingyue,

150

you already got what you wanted regarding the circulation of government funds.

151

As for Biluotian, you probably won't disappoint me. Right?

152

Don't worry. Once the bid is settled,

153

I will take you to Biluotian.

154

Your Highness.

155

Go back first.

156

Your Highness, the person has come.

157

Your Highness.

158

I was unable to take good care of Buqi.

159

Please punish me.

160

What is wrong with Buqi?

161

Hurry and speak!

162

There was more than one assassin from Mingyue Villa that came to kill me.

163

They entered Mo Manor last night and poisoned Buqi to death.

164

Buqi is already...

165

dead.

166

What did you say? Say that again!

167

Mingyue Villa sneaked into Mo Manor and killed Buqi.

168

Please investigate Mingyue Villa!

169

How could such a thing happen?

170

Didn't I tell you to protect Buqi?

171

Didn't you say you had a perfect plan?!

172

I never imagined...

173

that they would also attack Buqi!

174

There was oversight in security. May Prince forgive me!

175

What do you mean by oversight in security?

176

- You better explain yourself clearly.

- Your Highness, Yun Lang came back to the manor between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m.

177

Buqi was already dead. No medicine could be useful.

178

Please contain your grief.

179

[Mo Manor]

180

Your Highness.

181

Why did it end up like this?

182

Greetings, Your Highness.

183

I heard... you found her.

184

Yes.

185

When I went to find her this morning, I discovered that she...

186

She had coughed up a lot of blood then.

187

But... it was too late to save her then.

188

It was the Lotus Robe Knight who poisoned her.

189

Please help me find the Lotus Robe Knight! I must kill him!

190

What proof do you have that it was the Lotus Robe Knight?

191

When I found her, she was holding a bunny lantern.

192

The Lotus Robe Knight gave her that lantern.

193

Buqi knew who poisoned her, but she refused to tell me!

194

Who else would she want to protect besides the Lotus Robe Knight?

195

Has the coroner come?

196

We haven't invited any coroner yet. May Your Highness give instructions.

197

We have royal physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy, Miracle Doctor Wang of Huichun Hall,

198

and the Lin siblings of Yaoling Manor. Do you want us to invite them all here?

199

Buqi's identity is special. Ask Lady Lin to come.

200

- Uncle Mo, bring the Lin siblings here.

- Yes.

201

Greetings, Your Highness.

202

Gre-Greetings, Your Highness.

203

Please find out how Buqi died. We will be very grateful.

204

Don't worry, I will definitely find out why Little Sister Buqi died.

205

Lady Lin.

206

Please examine her heart, too.

207

Okay.

208

Young Master, don't let her pierce her heart.

209

Her poison hasn't reached the heart yet.

210

Wait!

211

Little Sister Dansha, let me do it.

212

I want to see Buqi one more time.

213

You don't know how to use the needle. Let me do it instead.

214

Miss Lin, what's wrong?

215

N-Nothing.

216

Your Highness, Little Sister Buqi was poisoned with venom from the pit viper and the five hidden flower.

217

These poisons mostly come from the north.

218

- I will go look in Buqi's room!

- Yu'er.

219

This matter,

220

I will hand it to the Court of Judicial Review for investigation.

221

Go back to the manor and rest with me.

222

Royal Father,

223

I want to look in Buqi's room.

224

Don't you want to go?

225

I'm afraid that the scenery would just make me more emotional.

226

Also,

227

you've exhausted yourself because of the government bidding this morning.

228

You should go rest.

229

I'm not tired.

230

Fu.

231

Get in the carriage with me.

232

Didn't you say that the bloodline of the Biluotian Saintess would never be cut off?

233

Your Highness,

234

only when something sacred is offered to the heavens will the bloodline of the Saintess be be cut off.

235

Or else, it would definitely not be cut off.

236

Then, why did Hua Buqi die?!

237

Could it be... Could Xue Fei have given birth to twins?

238

Your Highness!

239

It seems like Heaven doesn't want my son to rule the world.

240

Every time I am close to the Biluotian treasure,

241

something would come up to hinder me.

242

Your Highness, should we go to Mingyue Villa?

243

There's no need.

244

Just based on Mo Ruofei's statement alone,

245

Liu Mingyue wouldn't admit it.

246

Besides, we still have to use Liu Mingyue

247

to find the other half of the Biluotian map.

248

Right now, I only hope it is as you say

249

that the bloodline of the Saintess can not be cut off.

250

My son... can obtain the Biluotian treasure.

251

Don't worry, Your Highness.

252

The bloodline of the Saintess will never end that easily.

253

We still have a chance to find the other half of the map and the Saintess.

254

Fu.

255

Yu'er... likes Hua Buqi.

256

I could see it in his eyes.

257

The look in his eyes just now

258

was the despair of losing the one he loves.

259

It was not sibling love.

260

You didn't notice?

261

Now that you mention it... I remember something.

262

Recently, strange news came from the kitchen about Yu'er.

263

One night, he went to the kitchen and sent away the servant on duty.

264

He also ordered him to put the food on top of the stove.

265

Later on, the servant found it strange and went back.

266

He found out that Hua Buqi was eating in the kitchen.

267

The day Hua Buqi is buried,

268

watch over Yu'er. Don't let him come out.

269

The House of Mo is an illustrious aristocratic family.

270

There will be many officials and merchants

271

who will come to pay respects.

272

They fully believe that Hua Buqi is my daughter.

273

I'm afraid if Yu'er appears, his real emotions will come out.

274

Once he reveals his emotions, people will become suspicious.

275

Your Highness.

276

Pretend you don't exist?

277

From Xizhou Prefecture to Tianmen Pass,

278

from Tianmen Pass to the capital's southern lane,

279

as long as I am in trouble,

280

you will come to save me.

281

Only you can make me feel safe!

282

How can I pretend you don't exist?

283

The lantern was lit not long ago.

284

If you don't come out, I'll keep waiting here!

285

Why is it you?!

286

It can be anyone, but why does it have to be you?

287

Give Lotus Robe Knight back to me!

288

Give him back to me!

289

Lang told me

290

that lantern is from the Lotus Robe Knight.

291

Buqi kept holding it before she died.

292

There must be a reason.

293

Perhaps, Lang's words have some sense.

294

Buqi had been a beggar with Hua Jiu and then became a maid at Yaoling Manor.

295

How could she know the Lotus Robe Knight?

296

This person must be very suspicious.

297

Why do I remember you said Lotus Robe Knight saved you at Tianmen Pass?

298

If he really is the culprit,

299

why would he want to kill Buqi?

300

It's not clear why Lotus Robe Knight appeared at Tianmen Pass.

301

Perhaps, he has connections with Mingyue Villa.

302

He killed Buqi and then framed Mingyue Villa.

303

I never thought that you

304

were skilled not only in business, but could also solve crimes.

305

Your Highness, Lotus Robe Knight claims to be a lone warrior.

306

Rumors also say that he kills innocent people.

307

No matter what, the House of Mo will post a large reward to capture him.

308

The truth will be revealed when he is captured.

309

All right.

310

Then do as you say.

311

Buqi entering the House of Mo to be a Lady was also just a plan to expedite things.

312

Find an auspicious plot of land to bury her.

313

Just who did it?

314

If I find out who it is,

315

that person will definitely go through living hell!

316

Your Highness,

317

why did you ask to see me?

318

Did you kill Buqi?

319

Speak!

320

Hua Buqi is dead?!

321

Was it you?

322

The last time I used her to threaten you,

323

I was afraid you'd get rid of all my people in Mo Manor,

324

so I already told them all to leave!

325

Right now, I just want to fight against Liu Mingyue.

326

I definitely didn't give this order!

327

Right now, I just want to cooperate with you!

328

Don't let me find out it was you!

329

Slow down!

330

You drink like this every time!

331

If you don't care about your body, my heart aches for my wine!

332

What's wrong?

333

Nothing.

334

The government bidding has ended, so I'm idle.

335

Come, drink!

336

What's wrong? Do you want me to find a doctor?

337

It's nothing.

338

I've been holding it back for so long. I finally spit it out.

339

Stop drinking!

340

You've always been like this since childhood!

341

You keep all your thoughts in your heart!

342

If you weren't hit by an arrow last time,

343

you wouldn't have let me know you were the Lotus Robe Knight!

344

Did you ever treat me as your friend?

345

Hua Buqi is dead.

346

People from the Mo Manor said

347

that it was Lotus Robe Knight who poisoned her.

348

They also said that they would post a large reward to capture him.

349

Do you believe it?

350

Hua-Hua Buqi?

351

Your little sister?

352

The Lotus Robe Knight poisoned her?

353

How could that be?

354

I think something is wrong with Mo Ruofei!

355

He is just insisting to get someone as a scapegoat.

356

There must be something odd with this matter. You must investigate clearly.

357

Yuan Chong,

358

have you ever fallen in love with a woman?

359

In the past, I thought I just pitied her.

360

I pitied how she was the same as me,

361

lacking a mother since childhood.

362

I pitied how she was the same as me,

363

havive no way to control her own fate.

364

But only today did I realize,

365

that I like her!

366

Later on, I found a reason to look for her.

367

I found excuses to go see her.

368

Actually,

369

I just wanted to be with her!

370

Tell me... Should I be struck by lightning?

371

Don't tell me you fell in love with...

372

If I'm alive, I'll return to your side.

373

If I'm dead, please think of me forever.

374

It hurts right here. It hurts a lot.

375

I now know why mother developed illness from extreme depression.

376

But why,

377

why did I only realize after she died?!

378

You're my buddy. Tell me. Did I get some psychological illness?

379

Tell me. How could I return to being indifferent as before?!

380

♫ Like the wind ♫

381

♫ When you are around, the clouds descend ♫

382

♫ You roll up thousand layers of waves ♫

383

♫ I run into it without hesitation ♫

384

♫ Aren't you like the wind ♫

385

♫ Rustling as you intrude ♫

386

As soon as I thought about how lonely she'll be,

387

my heart would hurt so much.

388

She just wanted a Lotus Robe Knight,

389

but I couldn't even give that to her.

390

♫ Gently and flowy when touched ♫

391

♫ Taking away all my resistance, ♫

392

♫ not rushing to make me surrender ♫

393

♫ Aren't you like the wind ♫

394

♫ Rustling as you intrude ♫

395

♫ Too bad, I willingly walked into the trap ♫

396

♫ You then have no reason to be proud of ♫

397

♫ Like the wind ♫

398

♫ You left without a sound ♫

399

♫ I like this kind of ending ♫

400

♫ It looks as if both didn't owe each other anything ♫

401

- Fake death?

- Yes.

402

And I discovered that in the position of Hua Buqi's heart,

403

there were no signs of the poison.

404

When I touched her body, it was still very soft.

405

There was also no discoloration. She didn't look like she'd been dead for several hours.

406

Yesterday, when I heard that Hua Buqi couldn't be saved,

407

I thought that we were going to be dead meat.

408

But I never thought that things would take a new turn.

409

Dansha, let's spread the news.

410

As long as we are alive, there's hope for us.

411

We can take revenge for Father.

412

I'm going to let you guys enter Mo Manor.

413

Help me watch over Hua Buqi. Do not let anyone harm her.

414

Once the matter is done,

415

I will give you guys the antidote.

416

Brother, there's one more thing.

417

When I tested Buqi's blood earlier,

418

Brother Yun was acting weirdly.

419

He seems to know that Buqi isn't dead yet.

420

Dansha, don't worry about this right now.

421

Let's spread the news first.

422

The person who poisoned her knows more about poisons than I do.

423

That person can also probably cure Hua Buqi's poison.

424

As long as Hua Buqi is not dead,

425

we have not failed the task he assigned us.

426

Maybe, he'll also give us our antidote.

427

Brother be careful. I'm going to check on Brother Yun first.

428

Okay.

429

Brother Yun, if Sister Buqi didn't die,

430

would you marry her?

431

What do you mean?

432

Brother Yun, I like you.

433

But I can tell that you only have Buqi in your eyes.

434

The only person you're anxious and care about is Buqi.

435

I've been by your side,

436

but you've never looked at me once.

437

You didn't sleep all last night, right?

438

Your eyes are bloodshot.

439

I envy her.

440

She was just a naughty girl that was born a beggar,

441

but so many people like her.

442

Enough!

443

She's already dead!

444

When she was alive, she didn't have very many good days.

445

Even though she's dead, I didn't see many people mourning her.

446

What are you envious of her for?

447

Envious that she was poisoned by the person she loved,

448

or envious that she was a naughty girl who was born a beggar?!

449

No, Brother Yun. That's not what I meant!

450

I...

451

Little Sister Dansha,

452

she's not as composed as you,

453

nor does she have your medical skills. She also doesn't have your warmth and caring personality.

454

But because of this, does it make her unworthy for people to like her?

455

Let's drop it. I'm going to tell you honestly.

456

Buqi did not die.

457

She's faking her death. After she was poisoned,

458

she took a weird medicine to stop the poison.

459

How did you know?

460

You cannot tell anybody else.

461

You can't say anything even if it's rotting in your stomach.

462

The reason why you're always here

463

is because you already knew?

464

Even if I beg you, you cannot tell anyone else.

465

She needs to leave the capital. I'm begging you.

466

As long as you help me with this,

467

I'll do anything you say.

468

Brother Yun, you'll do anything I say?

469

Yes.

470

Then I want you to marry me.

471

Marriage is a major event.

472

We should listen to what the parents say and the recommendation of a matchmaker.

473

It is improper to privately set one's marriage.

474

I will tell Older Brother to propose marriage to Feiyun Fortress. He also wants me to marry you.

475

Brother Yun, as long as you promise me,

476

I won't say anything about what happened today.

477

Little Sister Buqi not dying is also not a big deal.

478

Prince Manor won't pursue it, and the House of Mo won't have to take responsibility.

479

Isn't that better?

480

I don't understand why Brother Yun is nervous.

481

I should actually tell Mo Ruofei this good news earlier

482

and His Highness.

483

Although His Highness wasn't angry, his face was very rigid.

484

Who knows if the royal manor will vent their anger to the House of Mo?

485

The Mo family was kind to me, so it's just right that I repay their kindness.

486

Sister Dansha,

487

I hate it the most when people threaten me.

488

You should be happy that I'm not a bloodthirsty person.

489

Otherwise, I would kill you to silence you.

490

Is Brother Yun agreeing?

491

I can promise you,

492

but don't make me kill you.

493

Looks like Buqi

494

is more important to you than I thought.

495

A man's promise must be kept. Since Brother Yun agreed to my request,

496

I trust that you'll keep your promise.

497

I hope you will, too.

498

I know you really hate me right now.

499

But it doesn't matter.

500

As long as I can stay by your side, I don't care about anything else.

501

- Brother Yun, I'll help you keep watch over the coffin.

- No need.

502

Yu'er, Lady will be buried today. You shouldn't go.

503

Yu'er, Prince knows your feelings.

504

He's doing this for you. Don't go.

505

Teacher, just let me go there.

506

Teacher!
