Truth or Dare

Episode 25

Killing Mei Shiqing

Your Highness.

Coming.

Pelletie.

I'm here to give you this.

Thank you.

Come on in.

OK.

I brought them from Meis' Mansion.

I thought maybe you'd like them.

You're so thoughtful.

So?

Enjoy the days of being a Lady?

It was too boring to be that.

There were too many things I couldn't do.

I had to mind my behaviors everywhere.

I couldn't even enjoy my meals.

In fact,

it's not so hard to be a Lady.

Being a Lady,

you have to be choosy.

Be choosy?

It means you don't want to do this or that thing

and you don't like this or that thing.

That's it.

That's it?

So I've been too casual.

Bao told me

that Mei Shiqing

is notorious for his bad temper.

Is that true?

Of course it's true.

Look, he is just such a cold fish.

He is a person with

dead eyes.

You'll be scared

when he stares at you with them.

He can freeze you

with that cold looking even in the summer.

The most horrible thing is his words.

He'll never let you go.

His words are so mean.

What's more irritating

is he always picks on me.

He always forces me to practice calligraphy.

He's a freak.

Then why do you love him?

I've no idea.

Well,

at the very beginning,

he was indeed like what I said.

When we'd been together for a while,

I realized that he had a tender heart,

but he insisted to

pretended to be cold.

That's a bit cute.

So you two

are meant to be together.

Come on.

Don't just talk about me.

Tell me your Bao.

He is not

a discreet man,

nor a hygienic one.

He'll eat

the food fell on the ground.

Is that a big deal?

I always do that, too.

What's more,

he's a big boaster.

To sum up,

he always needs

to be disciplined.

Then why do you love him?

You got me.

Why do I love him?

Maybe you don't need a reason to love someone.

Maybe that's love.

Anyway,

I really enjoy the time when I'm with him.

Perhaps that's love.

Being a Lady,

you have to be choosy.

You don't want to do this or that thing.

Your Highness. My Lord.

The dishes are all here.

I don't like this pastry.

Change it.

Why don't you like it?

I hate its shape.

What?

It's round.

It'll stick to my nails.

It's inconvenient to eat.

What's up?

Nothing.

Qiaoyun.

Change it.

All right.

And this.

All right.

Have some osmanthus liquor.

I made it myself.

What?

The cup is not good as well.

What's wrong with it?

We should use jade cup.

Right.

Good liquor deserves good cups.

I mean jade cups match my clothes today.

What's wrong with her?

She wasn't like this before.

What are you murmuring?

Nothing.

I said I'd go to Felicity Tavern.

You just stay at home.

I'll go with you.

I'll go with you.

You don't have to go there.

Wait a minute.

Are you mad at me?

I didn't mean to do that.

I just wanted to be more like a Lady.

So I wouldn't been seen through by others.

Lu Yingyao taught you that?

Just be yourself.

Right,

are you going to there

because you've got some news?

Before Tao Juzheng died, he said

that my mom died

because my dad exterminated Salter Cartel.

So I told Rou

to investigate that.

Then you should go.

Come on.

Let's eat something good.

Rou.

How's it going?

Lord Shiqing,

some people

of Salter Cartel did

occupy this city for a while.

Even the government

feared them in their heyday.

The boss of them named Li Tianlong.

It was far more

powerful than the Salter Cartel now.

He occupied the city so long,

just like a king.

Even Dragon Stockade feared them, too.

Then

General Mei stationed here

and began to destroy them.

Li Tianlong was injured in a battle

and died.

Since then,

Salter Cartel never fully recovered.

Did you find out

the relation between Li Tianlong

and Dragon Stockade?

After all,

it happened long ago.

I'm still working on it.

Go ask your dad.

Wasn't he there?

Him?

Don't you know his temper?

I'm afraid he'll kick my ass.

Just give it a try.

He did refuse to tell you before.

But now

your relationship isn't that tense like before.

Maybe he'll tell you now.

I'll try.

Right,

I've got one more important thing to report.

I sent our people

to the stores of

Salter Cartel according to your order.

They found a clue lately.

What clue?

They found that there is quite a portion of the income

was transferred secretly to

a store named Prosperous.

Its headquarters is in the capital.

Its boss is Dong Daman.

Isn't it a pastry store?

In this case,

selling pastry

is just a guise.

What it really sells are booties.

I got it.

That's false advertising.

Right?

Since the illicit money

is transferred to its store in the capital,

that means

there're people of the capital

behind Salter Cartel.

That Dong Daman...

He isn't the one behind this.

We know nothing about

the one behind,

nor how powerful he is.

So we should be more careful.

It'll get dangerous.

Dad.

Hi, Shiqing.

What's up?

You never saw me without business.

Don't tell me you're here for chatting today.

Could you tell me

the relation between mom's death and the extermination

of Salter Cartel?

It's been

more than a decade.

I don't want to talk about it.

Dad.

Dad.

For mom's sake,

could you tell me the truth?

A decade ago,

Salter Cartel committed

all kinds of crimes.

I was young and rash,

so I reported to the court to destroy it.

I knew Li Tianlong, its boss, was ruthless.

So I sent you

and your mom

to a remote villa before the fight.

But the information was leaked,

the only lucky thing

was your survival.

But...

But your mom...

She

was murdered.

It's been many years,

but I still can't let it go.

I feel sorry to your mom

and to you.

I'm not a good father.

So he doesn't know

the one who killed mom

is still at large.

Telling him now

will just make him feel worse.

Brother Situ.

How're you doing?

I'm still waiting for Mei Shiqing's head.

It was my fault.

But I can explain it.

Something happened

in my humble stockade.

I heard your adopted son

robbed you of your woman?

It's a rumor.

I didn't marry her,

so she's not my woman.

Anyway,

I swear I'll chop him into pieces.

That's your business,

not mine.

What I want to know

is the date of Mei Shiqing's death.

Relax.

I found out

that he always went to Felicity Tavern.

I'll set a trap there

to eliminate him.

Mei Shiqing's strong.

You have someone who can kill him?

This man fought him before.

He knows Mei so well.

Don't let me down again.

I prepared hot pot for you.

Do you like it?

Certainly.

We wouldn't have become bandits if we knew

the meals here were so great.

Dear, right?

All right, stop talking.

Let's eat.

All right.

Come on.

Uncle He.

OK.

Thanks.

Come on, let's eat.

Put the meatballs into it.

And that...

That vegetable.

That one.

- This one. - I want it.

OK.

Lord Shiqing.

We inquired Crazy Chen again,

but we didn't make any progress.

Keep inquiring.

I want that.

It's good.

More vegetable.

You eat more, too.

Fill it up.

Let's have one more drink.

This one's really tasty.

Kill them.

Nan Batian sent you?

How did my mother die?

Tell me.

Soon

someone will tell you.

Shiqing.

- Shiqing. - Lord Shiqing.

How do you feel?

How are

your eyes?

Siheng.

Let's go back to see a doctor.

Just go.

I can handle here.

Thank you.

Hurry up.

What a mess!

Master.

The doctor has stopped the bleeding.

His condition's stable now.

But

his eyes are badly injured.

I'm afraid...

Those quacks.

They're useless

at this crucial time!

It seems that he is really blind this time.

One more word and you'll be locked in the woodshed.

Master.

Why don't we go back?

So Shiqing can have a good rest.

I'll try to help him.

I'll find more good doctors for him.

Take it easy.

You shall leave first.

I need to talk with Shiqing.

OK.

Come on.

What happened exactly?

How did you get injured?

How can you smile at this time?

The people of Dragon Stockade did this?

Yes.

Shiqing.

I'm not lecturing you.

You married Her Highness already.

You should fight for your future,

not to fight with those

desperate bandits.

Look at you now.

People are suffering from them.

They must be punished.

What's more,

they relate to the people who killed my mom.

There's no way I let them go.

Didn't I tell you

that the people of Salter Cartel killed her?

I eliminated them.

Li Tianlong, their boss, was beheaded by me.

You've been deceived for 10 years.

I found the clue.

The one who killed my mom

is still at large.

And he is related to the Dragon Stockade.

Salter Cartel was destroyed 10 years ago,

but it comes back now.

Can't you see that?

I'm blind, not stupid.

You fool.

You just won't listen to me?

I am the General of Qing Province.

How comes I don't know

the things happened here?

Dad, it's true.

Dad.

We saw the people who smuggled salt.

It's true.

Your Highness.

You don't have to speak for him.

This guy

has been disobedient since he was a kid.

Dad.

I can do nothing

if you keep a blind eye on it.

I'm blind?

You're the blind one, fool.

Your Highness.

Take good care of him.

I'll go to find good doctors.

In any case,

this fool's eyes must be cured.

I won't appreciate for that.

You want to make me mad?

I'm just casting pearls before swine.

So irrational!

Shiqing.

Just cure your eyes first.

General Mei will trust you

when we catch Situ Lin and his men.

Come on, He.

Could you stop pacing?

I'm pacing?

For whom I'm pacing?

It was my fault.

Nan Batian sent them

to kill us,

so Shiqing got involved.

I'm wondering how serious his injuries are.

Pelletie.

What if Mei Shiqing goes blind?

Uncle He.

If you really want to know,

I'll go to his home to see him.

OK.

Bao, let's go.

Pelletie.

How's he?

Pelletie.

You may tell us anything.

We can figure it out together.

Many doctors had come.

They all said Shiqing's eyes couldn't be cured.

Your Highness.

What shall I do?

Shiqing can't go blind.

Blind?

I know a blind doctor.

Maybe he can help Shiqing.

All right.

The blind doctor's great.

Hold on, He.

The blind doctor?

A blind man?

He's blind.

Right.

How could a blind man cure blindness?

He's a specialist in eye diseases.

He went to the capital to treat illnesses

and offended some noble.

So someone made him blind.

Then he changed a lot

and became odd.

I heard he came here.

But he's a recluse now

and no long treat illnesses.

I'll go to find him.

I must let him cure Shiqing.

Pelletie, I'll go with you.

Uncle He.

That man's short-tempered.

I think it will upset him if there are too many people.

But...

It's better that Pelletie goes there alone.

I can make it myself.

Pelletie, be careful.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Who're you?

You...

You...

Are you the blind doctor?

No.

Never heard of him.

I asked about you.

You came from the capital.

That's right.

So you should know

I don't treat people now.

I'm begging you to treat young General Mei

of Meis' army here.

He went blind in a fight with bandits.

Even the Emperor comes here,

I won't treat him.

Ever heard of Lord Nocturnal-elf?

You won't help a good man like him?

Never.

All right.

Save your breath.

Leave now.

I won't leave.

If you refuse me,

I'll stay here

until you agree to help him.

Whatever.

Just don't disturb my peace.

Let go.

Let go.

I won't let you go

unless I'm dead.

Fine.

Since you want to save that man with your life.

I need to see how sincere you're.

I got some poison here.

It'll kill you if you drink it.

Drink it

and I'll help you

to treat the eyes of the young General.

You should keep your word.

My ghost will haunt you

if you can't cure him.

Dad.

Forgive me.

I'll repay you for your love the next life.

Reward?

You'll have it.

I'm willing to die

for Shiqing's eyes.

I've drunk it.

Could you go to save him now?

Interesting.

Interesting.

You're the only one

who'd like to drink it during this years.

All right.

I'll go with you.

I'd like to know

how much time do I still have?

Can I see my husband

and dad one more time?

Are you leaving or not?

You'll see nobody

if you stay here.

You've kneeled here for a whole night.

So I gave you

the tonic I made for myself these years.

You're lucky.

Are you leaving or not?

Yes.

Yes.

Dad.

I didn't come back last night

because I went to invite this doctor.

He can cure Shiqing's eyes.

Shiyuan.

He's blind.

Your Highness.

Why don't you let him cure his eyes first?

Don't judge a book by its cover.

The result will prove everything.

Your Highness.

Though it's a dire situation,

we still have to remain calm.

Look.

What kind of a doctor he is?

Some noble blinded him.

He's still a good doctor.

Why did the noble blind him

if he was really that good?

I'm sure he bragged of his skills

and ruined someone's eyes.

So he was blinded as a punishment.

Your Highness.

You're still too young

to see people through.

Dad.

Just let him try.

All right?

Your Highness.

I understand your feeling.

Just have a rest.

Leave this man to me.

Dad, you don't trust me, either?

Your Highness.

Just listen to your dad.

Let him treat me.

He's a good man since he's a doctor.

Shiqing.

We know nothing about him.

What if...

It's fine.

I have faith in him.

All right.

Then let him try.

Thank you, dad.

Let's go.

Doctor.

What about my son's eyes?

Qiaoyun.

Go to take the medicines.

Siheng. Give him money

and send him home.

Yes.

Give it to me.

I thought they'd be elixirs.

Just some normal herbs.

You said they were normal

because you'd no idea how effective they were.

It's a shame that this young master

is blinder than me.

- You! - Stop!

Dad.

This prescription...

Qiaoyun.

Go get the herbs.

Mom.

Lady Yingyao

told me to find that doctor.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

If he can't cure your eyes,

let's find other doctors.

Your eyes must be cured.

You know how I worried about you?

I'd went out to find you

if you came back later.

I'm sorry.

I'll discuss it with you first

if I'm going to do something.

All right?
