[The Romance of Hua Rong 2]
[EP17]

Your roast chicken is the best.

Why are you staring at me?

Do you want some?

Nothing.

I'm just thinking,

it's been a long time

since I've been with you alone.

As long as you're by my side,

even if I am trapped here all my life,

I don't mind at all.

No way.

I‘ve promised you to find out your identity.

Besides,

we still don't know who the mysterious person

behind Duanmu Bai is.

Who the hell knows what conspiracy they're up to.

Don't worry,

I'll let him pay

his debt of blood,

sooner or later.

The assassination at Mermaid Bay

or hypnotizing you to assassinate me,

their goal is the Rapier.

What do you think they want the Rapier for?

Now that I look back,

Duanmu Bai had been telling me before that

Duanmu Qingcang and hundreds of people
of Prince Mu's Residence

were waiting for his rescue.

But what does getting the Rapier have to do

with the rescue?

If Duanmu Bai wants the Rapier and to become
leader of martial arts community,

it must be related to the Imperial Alliance.

Anyway, no matter what his purpose is,

I will definitely not let him do it.

Then we shouldn't delay.

Let's find a way to leave the Orchid Valley

and qualify the second round of assessment.

OK.

Why follow me?

There is only one road to the Orchid Valley,

so it is not surprising to meet by chance.

Fine,

I'll take another road.

We shouldn't meet again.

[Crab,]

[my calculation shows]

[your relationship with Qin Shangcheng]

[should be almost restored.]

[I can't bear it anymore.]

[I don't need to bear it anymore.]

Duanmu Bai,

Listen up,

I don't want to disguise anymore.

I just follow you, like it or not.

Then follow along if you want.

Don't try to get rid of me.

There are more and more orchids along the way,

and bordering the bamboo forest.

From this perspective,

is this bamboo forest the core area of

the Orchid Valley?

You got it right.

The Orchid Valley is full of dangers

and risks.

We both need to be vigilant.

Let's go.

Ok.

Qin Shangcheng,

we've come to where we were, haven't we?

Yes, we are still trapped

in this wood after walking for half a day.

Are we lost in a maze?

Maze...Huh

I recalled a similar maze

called Changlin Formation

in an ancient book.

This formation is ever-changing,

It is impossible to break it without
finding its center.

"The center of wood formation

is surrounded by water."

Surrounded by water...

Then we need to find water.

But I didn't see any water

along the way.

It's getting dark.

Why don't we find a place to rest

and look for water tomorrow?

No need to wait until tomorrow.

I have an idea.

You are really smart.

This bamboo is sharpened and will be inserted

into the soil to test the moisture

so to find water, right?

This is the method my father

who often used it in marching.

I stole it from him.

Let's look for it together.

OK.

Smells good?

My roasted sweet potato is the best.

Want to try?

- What are you doing?
- Hush!

What can mere poisonous insects do to me?

They are poisonous insects of the Imperial
Island.

They don't care who you are,

and will gather more and more here.

Do you have any idea then?

Run.

Run.

This is your plan?

There's a better one.

What?

Climb the tree.

Are you kidding me?

There're so many insects on the tree.

Then don't ask so many questions, okay?

Stay still.

What?

There's a poisonous spider on your shoulder.

What should I do?

Don't move.

Don't move.

A spider on your shoulder.

They are all over the tree.

I must have owed you a lot in my last life.

The soil is getting wetter.

We are not far from the water.

The water-seeking method you learned

from my father-in-law

works fine.

The formation center is not far away.

Let's go.

It should be here.

As long as we remove this flower

and clear the spring hole,

letting the spring water flow,

the Changlin Formation can be broken.

I'll do it.

The water is coming out.

The Formation has been
broken.

Fragrant.

No,

There are many strange poisons in the Orchid
Valley.

Lose it.

Let's go.

Here's a wooden house.

Let's go in and have a look.

I've left marks

for Qian Dayou and Zhang Xian along the way.

When they arrive,

we will go together.

So many books.

Why are herbs everywhere in this room?

The owner of this house should be

very knowledgeable about medicine and poison.

What's this?

Blood exchange.

Taking orchid decoction as the guiding drug,

with the help of giant silkworm,

the blood of a strong person can be

injected into the body of a poisoned person

to delay the spread of the toxin,

so to buy time for antidote development.

It's the first time I've heard of blood exchange.

Perhaps this method

can save lives at a critical moment.

Mu Qing.

Presumably Mu Qing is a well-known figure

in Imperial Alliance.

Therefore, outside the wooden house,

he must have placed herbs

that can prevent poisonous insects,

so as to ensure the tranquility of this place.

Rong.

Rong.

It's the sign of poisoning.

Could it be that flower?

You're finally awake.

Did you apply the herbs for me?

I didn't just apply the herbs,

I suck the poison for you.

What else did you do to me?

What do you want me to do to you?

Or

what do you expect me to do to you?

No.

Relax.

You have nothing to lose to be my man.

Thank you for detoxing me.

You don't have to be responsible for me.

I'm not interested in you.

Since you're not interested in me,

why do you take my butterfly hairpin

with you?

You obviously like me,

but still pretend not to be.

Boring.

I know you are on a family mission

and don't want to waste time on personal affection.

After the Imperial Alliance Conference is over,

you can go to complete your mission

and give me your answer after that.

My Lord.

My Lord.

The decoction is ready.

Yeah.

The giant silkworm is ready, too.

You two can go.

OK.

My Lord,

we are guarding outside,

you can call us at any time.

What time is it?

Go.

You're awake.

Do you feel better?

What happened to me?

You are poisoned.

Was it the flower we saw when

we breaking the Changlin Formation yesterday?

Yeah.

According to Xian and Dayou's investigation,

the center of the Changlin Formation

has been manipulated.

It must have been premeditated.

Is it the mysterious man behind Duanmu Bai again?

It should be.

He's a master of poison.

Besides,

he was able to move freely in the Changlin
Formation.

He must know the Imperial Island well.

There is only one person who can do both.

Kong Lin.

In this case,

you were previously hypnotized

by the same person.

Qin Shangcheng,

you didn't save me with blood-exchange,

did you?

Rong,

from now on,

you have my blood in your body,

and we will never be apart again.

Qing Shangcheng.

What the hell is this?

her highness is back through twists and turns,

how come this happened to her?

Xian,

if you have time to talk,

you might as well keep looking for.

Dayou, look.

Is it the one?

My Lord.

They correspond.

Love-breaking Hibiscus.

Imperial Alliance poison.

Blood lines appear from the back of the poisoned
person,

and they converge on the palm

to form a pattern of a hibiscus flower.

The deeper the poisoning,

the darker the color of the hibiscus flower.

Within two days,

the poisoned person will die.

Tell me the way

to detox.

Emmm,

as the name suggests, this Love-breaking Hibiscus

must be caused by emotional entanglements.

If you want to completely detoxify,

you must break your entanglement.

I know what to do.

Rong, why did you come out?

I've got some goodies for you.

There are red bean cakes,

soybean cakes.

Try one.

Qing Shangcheng,

tell me the truth.

Are you planning to leave me

after we leave the Orchid Valley?

Why did you say that?

I heard it all.

Don't think you can push me away like before.

I'm telling you,

there's no way

you can leave me.

How could I leave you?

Since this poison comes from the Imperial Alliance
Flower,

there must be an antidote within the Imperial
Alliance.

I will do my best to be the leader of the Imperial
Alliance,

and gather the power of the Imperial Alliance

to detoxify this poison in you.

You really didn't lie to me?

Of course I didn't.

I promised you that

I would stand by your side,

face everything together.

I'll never break my promise.

Let's eat cakes, shall we?

OK.

Have some, too.

Congratulations to Duanmu and Chi Hong

for being the first to qualify the examination to
compete for the leader of the alliance.

I quit.

I'm not interested in anything

but you right now.

Do not forget our agreement.

Mr. Kong,

Crab.

Congratulations to both of you.

What is there to congratulate?

Although Rong broke the trap,

she was poisoned by a traitor

and was no longer able to participate in the
follow-up competition.

But I, Qin Shangcheng,

will find those responsible.

OK.

That being the case,

tomorrow will see the martial arts contest

between Duanmu and Qin in front of the Imperial
Palace

for the alliance leader final.

It's getting late,

please go back to the Imperial Palace

to rest.

Rong.

Crab,

are you okay?

Sister,

the most important thing is that

I recall everything

between you and me.

Really?

Great!

my estimate is pretty accurate,

I have my worries put away then.

Who gave you the permission to poison Hua Rong
behind my back?

I used this poison

originally for the sake of you.

At Star Lake,

Hua Rong has broken my hypnotism,

so I took advantage of the situation

and poisoned her

at the Changlin Formation

with Love-breaking Hibiscus.

You are so scheming.

His Royal Highness is in prison now,

Everything I do

is to fulfill the task that

His Royal Highness gave me,

and to help you

get the last emperor's testamentary edict.

What is the connection between the testamentary
edict and Love-breaking Hibiscus?

This poison is the unique secret poison of the
Imperial Alliance.

The only antidote is hidden in the secret chamber.

Your Highness,

Now you should know what to do, right?

Don't do anything behind my back,

or I will not spare you.

Your Highness

should know that

you carry the lives of hundreds of people

in Prince Mu's Residence on your shoulders.

I will take the testamentary edict of course.

Just do what you have to do.

Rong's time is running out.

I must try every way

and do my best

to detoxify this poison.

What are you doing here?

Don't be afraid.

I just came to tell you one thing.

If you came for the Rapier,

then you don't have to waste your words.

If you want the Rapier,

come and get it in the arena tomorrow.

The antidote to Love-breaking Hibiscus

is only available in the secret chamber of the
Imperial Alliance.

To open the secret chamber,

you must use the Rapier.

However,

to pull out the sword,

you need the blood of the Imperial Son.

So,

only I can save Hua Rong.

You can think about it,

and if you want to fight,

I'll fight to the end.

Sooner or later we'll have to settle our grudge.

But

I don't want anything to happen to Hua Rong.

Duanmu Bai,

I don't give a damn

about the position of the alliance leader.

The only thing I care about is Rong.

If you can really open the secret chamber

and find the antidote to save Rong,

what's the harm in giving you the Rapier?

But if you can't save her,

I will not spare you.

The Rapier returns to the alliance,

the day of revival is just around the corner.

My Lord.

My Lord.

The revival of the Imperial Alliance

is just around the corner.

In testimony of the Rapier,

May God bless the Imperial Alliance.

I, Duanmu Bai, as the new alliance leader,

will lead the Imperial Alliance

back to glory.

Envoy Kong,

start the altar ceremony immediately.

The moment when the Rapier is pulled out,

is when we Imperial Alliance

announces its return to Jianghu.

Yes, My Lord.

After twenty years of silence,

the Imperial Alliance

has now resurfaced.

Worthy of being the first sect back then.

Let me tell you,

this is why the Rapier

is sought after by so many people.

But this time our Lord gave up the competition

for her highness.

Right

He is indeed a role model as a husband.

In terms of flattery,

you and Meng have a match.

Just so so.

Your Highness.

What happened?

He can't pull it out.

Indeed.

Why can't he pull it out?

He could be a liar, couldn't he?

Is he fake?

What's going on?

Where did the liar come from?

If he could pull it out, he would have done it already.

Is he the Imperial Son or not?

Is he fake?

Is he a liar?

Where did the liar come from?

Give us an explanation.

Yeah.

Give us an explanation.

Give us an explanation.

If you can't pull it out, just come down.

The rule of the Imperial Alliance provides that

whoever pulls out the Rapier

should be the leader of the alliance.

I should try.

Yes.

I can try.

I want to try, too.

Didn't you say you were the son of the Imperial
Lady and

could open the secret chamber to save Rong?

Why can't you even pull out the Rapier now?

You tell me!

Speak up!

Qin Shangcheng!

Calm down.

I also want to save Crab,

but does it look like he's doing this

on purpose?

I'm fine.

He has waited for this day to take the Rapier.

He has no reason not to pull out the Rapier if he could.

I said,

if he couldn't save Rong,

I would leave no mercy on him.

He's my man.

Don't you dare touch him!

If you want to fight,

go away.

Don't stand in the way.

That's right.

The one who can pull out the Rapier

is the alliance leader.

There are many of us.

Let's beat him together.

What could he do to us alone?

That's enough!

I'm telling you,

it's none of your business

at all.

Whoever gets involved

will end up dead.

Qin Shangcheng,

listen to me.

Qin Shangcheng,

I know you did it

all for me.

But you know me.

I

don't want to drag others

into my own business

and cause unnecessary sacrifices.

As for you,

you should all know that

the Rapier can only be pulled out

with the blood of the Imperial Son.

For so many years,

how many of you in the Imperial Alliance

have wished to pull out the Rapier

and take over the position of the alliance leader,

killing each other disregarding the lives of your
fellow disciples.

Now, you still do.

Aren't you ashamed to stay in the Imperial
Alliance?

Qin Shangcheng,

If this Rapier can only

bring the Imperial Alliance blood,

then I will destroy it.

Can I?

Rong.

Crab.

Your Highness.

The door is open.

The door is open.

Yeah.

I didn't expect it to be her.

Never expect this.

How come it's you?

Why you?

My Lady.

My Lady.

Envoy Kong,

now the alliance leader has showed herself,

but she has been poisoned

and the antidote is in the secret chamber.

Please lead the way.

OK.

Worthy of being the first sect back then.

This secret room is intricate,

and it is really sophisticated.

I have been fortunate enough

to come here several times with the former leader.

There are many triggers.

Everybody,

don't touch anything here.

Where is the antidote?

All antidotes of the Imperial Alliance poison

are stored in the Pharmacy.

Follow me.

Let's go.

Everyone,

This is the Pharmacy.

Please.

My Lord,

are we coming in?

Yeah.

Duanmu Bai has gone in.

Let's go.

My Lord,

What should we do?

Find the antidote first.

OK.

Rong,

sit down.

Here.

Wait for me.

I'll be back soon.

Get Crab the antidote first.

Where is it?

My Lord,

We've searched everywhere,

but we can't find the antidote.

My Lord,

Kong Lin locked us here

and wouldn't let us out,

maybe the antidote isn't here.

Duanmu Bai,

where is the antidote?

What do you mean?

The mysterious person behind you is Kong Lin,

who is your teacher, right?

You want the Rapier in every possible way

just to open the secret chamber.

I guess,

you must be wanting something

in the secret chamber, right?

So what?

Qin Shangcheng.

I don't care what you want,

either

you give me the antidote now

or

die.

Put down the knife first,

let me talk to him.

Duanmu Bai,

the priority now is to get out quickly.

Open the door if you know the trigger.

Crab is dying.

Kong Lin is indeed my teacher,

but I really don't know how to open this door.

Qin Shangcheng,

Rong,

he shouldn't have lied.

Your Highness,

At this moment,

you still speak for this guy.

This stone door is heavy and thick,

we can't break it.

We could die in here.

For all triggers in this world,

as long as there is a way to close them,

there is a way to open them.

Qin Shangcheng,

that's a secret door, too.

Now,

the healthy Rong is finally back.

Qin Shangcheng,

I didn't break my word this time.

Indeed you didn't.

You turned into a mermaid

and stabbed me in the chest.

I can compensate you.

I'll think about it

How about

a kiss?

Now call it even, right?

Not enough.

Enough now?

How is this enough?

Not enough at all.

Qin Shangcheng,

don't get too far.

No,

you really want to murder your husband?

Sorry,

I haven't gotten used to it yet.

This is my professional habit.

It will be fine.

Get used to.

Let's go.

Go.
