=Episode 24=

Steward Tie,

we've looked over the city.

We've searched Miss's favorite restaurants

and theaters all night.

But she is nowhere to be seen.

Before Young Master left, he specifically told us

that whatever happens,

we must immediately inform him.

Well, Zhao,

you bring several men to the capital

to look for Young Master.

Noted.

The rest keep on looking for Miss.

- Yes. - Yes.

Wait.

Search around Pei's Residence thoroughly.

- Noted. - Noted.

Go on.

Tie Niu, he frets about love.

He's unreliable.

You little thing.

Even you dare to tease me now, don't you?

Sooner or later,

I'll savor you

with various cooking techniques.

You little thing.

Tie Niu.

Miss Lvying.

What are you doing here?

(Pei's Residence)

Miss Xu.

Miss,

is there any discomfort?

(I'm fine.)

(Didn't you ask me to teach the Prince?)

(Where is he?)

Xiao is naughty.

He's being punished.

If you don't mind,

you can stay here for a few more days.

You fainted yesterday.

I was freaked out.

So I asked a physician over.

Only then I knew you had a history.

So I had the prescription changed.

I think you'll get

your voice back in a few days.

By then,

I'd like to hear

you sing.

(Your Highness is such a show lover.)

I'm not.

It was my deceased wife.

She liked to watch shows.

(I didn't expect you)

(to be such a devoted lover.)

(Her Highness must have been)

(very happy to have a husband like you)

(as you love her for your entire life.)

(Your Highness, have you ever failed your wife?)

(But the dead can't be resurrected.)

(The same goes for the relationship.)

I know.

Hence,

I wish I'd never met her

and that I'd never liked her.

Maybe...

Maybe she wouldn't have died.

Your Highness.

Thank you, Miss.

Pei Yanzhen,

you haven't had your eyes treated.

There are many things awaiting you in the capital.

Are you going to leave her here

or bring her back?

I don't have

much hope

of regaining vision.

But Miao...

Give me a few more days.

A few more days will do.

I knew I can't have her,

but I just can't let her go

due to my greed.

Guys,

I've told you the whereabouts of Regent.

Heroes,

please don't let me down.

Don't worry, Official Song.

All of us are the daredevils of the noble families from the capital.

Our task is

to kill Regent.

Even if we fail,

it won't implicate you.

If I was worried,

I wouldn't have fought against Regent.

However,

you have to promise me one thing first.

Whether the assassination succeeds or not,

you must get the Prince

back safely.

Otherwise...

Don't worry, Official.

We dare not fail you.

Very well.

Go on.

Yes.

(The second room at the Escort Agency's yard)

(is Third Master Song's room.)

(I've seen him put)

(the letters with the Shen family's crest in the drawer.)

(I need you to find them)

(and bring them to me.)

Miss Lvying.

Lvying.

Miss Lvying.

I've been looking for you.

Why did you come here?

But Tie Niu knows martial arts.

If he finds out,

I'll teach you a trick.

It can get you away with it.

There are mice!

Where?

I'll protect you.

I don't know where they went.

I see nothing.

I feel a little dizzy.

Why don't

you help me to the yard?

Sure.

Let's go.

Let me help you.

You must be freaked out.

It's alright.

I'm here with you.

Easy.

Miss,

Master Song did withhold

the letters Old Master sent over.

The Shen family has collapsed.

Why would he deceive you

and keep you away from your family?

Let's wait and see.

To him, profit always comes first.

He never did a profitless deal.

I must've been useful to him.

In my life,

I've been deceived,

cheated

and lied to.

I was set up that my family was broken apart.

If I didn't learn the lesson,

my previous death would be for nothing.

(Miao,)

(I've given Song Xiyuan a great fortune)

(to ask for his help)

(to get you out.)

(When you recover,)

(we'll reunite again.)

(In these several years,)

(I've read a lot.)

(I only realized the mistakes I made in the past.)

If I could study earlier,

I would be able to see

through Pei Yanzhen's disguise sooner.

Self-drawn win!

Miao,

don't listen to your dad.

All he cares about is the family fortune.

(To me,)

(it's fine as long as we're alive.)

(We can just make a comeback.)

Now,

our business at the border area is going well.

We've had the people

in Yanlan eating out of our hands.

(When you come back,)

(you can continue being the young lady of the Shen family.)

(Sister,)

(it's been so long since the letter was sent out.)

(Why aren't you coming back?)

(Third Master Song said you were injured.)

(How are you doing now?)

(Now I've mastered the riding skills.)

(I'm waiting for you to teach me martial arts.)

Sister.

Miss,

what's wrong?

Lvying,

Dad, Aunt

and Shen Zai

are doing well.

Lvying,

the Shen family is still here.

This is a good thing.

Why are you crying?

I won't cry.

I have to get Xiao out of here

and go north to reunite with Dad.

What are you going to do?

I went snooping around the residence

and drew a map.

Pei Yanzhen is paranoid.

He's had his men positioned everywhere.

By then,

I'll need to distract Zhan Yue.

So I can get Xiao out.

But Guard Zhan has

always been sticking close to Young Master.

It's extremely hard to achieve.

I have my own plan.

Even if we've succeeded in escaping,

how are we supposed to avoid the pursuers?

With Third Master Song's help?

No.

If anything happens this time,

I'm afraid

the three of us might die

right away.

We can't trust anyone.

What are you doing, Miss Xu?

She heard that Young Master was punished yesterday because of her.

She's making some pastries for him.

(Xiao likes to eat pastries.)

(He usually)

(eats some two hours after dinner.)

(Xiao is smart.)

(I'm sure he can recognize my writing)

(and understand what I mean.)

(Get away by setting fire)

The capital has been restless lately.

(Pei's Residence) His Majesty seldom leaves his chamber.

The officials in the court knew

that you secretly left the capital.

All of them tried to seize the power.

Pass on my order.

I'll return to the capital

in several days.

What's your worry?

You want to bring Shen Miao back, don't you?

We finally came to Weiyang.

What about your eyes?

Are you not going to wait

for the monk to treat your eyes?

The monk hasn't returned yet.

This is Heaven's will.

Besides, Miao is still alive.

Since she has come back,

it no longer matters if I treat it or not.

Don't blame me for not warning you.

Today at the loft,

Shen Miao seemed to intend to kill you.

Are you sure she hasn't regained her memory?

In any case,

even if she doesn't remember it now,

as you try everything to keep her by your side,

she might remember the past one day.

I'm afraid it'll get you killed.

If she does remember this,

it's all the more reason not to leave her here.

There's...

There's a fire in the Prince's room!

Help!

Quick, Zhan Yue.

Come and put it out!

Let's go.

Xiao.

Xiao.

Are you alright?

Mother.

I've left you here for the past two years.

It's my bad.

I'll be sure to take you away

and never come back again, okay?

As long as I can be with you,

anywhere is fine for me.

Good boy.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Miss,

the fire is spreading over this room.

We have to leave now.

Is everything ready?

Yes.

Let's go.

Calm down.

Don't mind me.

Just go and find Xiao.

Xiao is afraid of fire.

And send some men

to Miao's room.

Go.

Okay.

Traitor Pei, I'll kill you.

Do you think you have the ability?

Leave this to me.

You go and find Xiao.

Be careful.

Come.

Lvying,

this rope can only withstand the weight of one person.

Xiao is still young.

You go down and catch him.

Okay.

Easy.

Be careful.

Okay.

Come, Xiao.

Come.

You're amazing, Mother.

After leaving here,

I'll teach you this

so you can be a hero too.

By then,

all the heroines will fight to be your wife.

Okay?

Sure.

Let's go.

Slowly.

Come.

Quickly come down, Miss.

Okay.

Miss Xu,

where are you taking Xiao?

Pei Yanzhen.

Did you regain your memory?

Miao,

I know you resent me.

I have something to tell you.

Pei Yanzhen,

it's been two years.

You still won't let me go.

Watch out, Miao!

Behind you!

Miao,

it's dangerous here.

Just go.

Hurry up.

Watch out, Pei Yanzhen!

You're such a fool.

How many times do you want

to suffer to stay away from him?

I just want to get my kid back,

instead of hurting anyone.

Let alone a blind man.

Song Xiyuan,

you've been hiding

the truth for the past two years.

You made me like a fool.

Take him away.

Yes.

Xiao! Xiao!

- Mother! Mother! - Let me go!

Miao!

Let me go!

Miao.

Are you alright?

Zhan Yue,

where is Miao?

She's fine.

Just mind your business.

Send someone to look for her.

Miao has regained her memory.

Xiao.

And Xiao.

Make sure nothing happens to them.

Pei Yanzhen,

have you ever thought

that it was Shen Miao who set the fire tonight?

I just want them to come back.

(Traitor Shen Miao made a night attack at Regent's Residence)

(Those who reveal her whereabouts will be rewarded)

Song Xiyuan,

(Guchun Restaurant) where did you take Xiao to?

Are you afraid?

You're finally scared.

I thought you feared nothing.

You'll risk everything, even your life,

for that very person.

Over and over again.

It turned out

that it wasn't your memory that got worse.

It was that you never learned your lesson.

Huashan.

Master.

Get her changed.

Miss, please come with me.

Give Xiao back to me.

I will have my men escort him

out of the city tonight.

Then, go north

to find your dad in Yanlan?

It's not only me who can guess it.

Pei Yanzhen can guess it too.

Let me tell you this.

The gates of Weiyang City

has been closed.

They can turn the place upside down in less than four hours.

They're looking everywhere for you.

Dead

or alive.

With your ability,

how are you going to fight him?

Then, Xiao will...

This is my place.

I can protect Xiao.

Miaomiao,

if you don't want to die again,

I suggest you listen to me.

Go get changed.

Don't worry.

I won't do anything to you.

(Gudao Escort Agency)

Your Highness,

it seems like they're gone.

Do not let go of any lead.

Noted.

Search!

Pei Yanzhen,

you're injured.

Why don't you go back and rest?

Leave this to me.

No.

I must find Miao.

(Gudao Escort Agency)

Mother.

Don't cry, Mother.

Don't be afraid.

Xiao will protect you.

With me around,

no one can bully you.

Good boy.

Good boy.

I'm not afraid.

I fear nothing

as soon as I see you.

Miaomiao,

get some rest.

You've had quite an eventful day.

Xiyuan, you're a bad person.

Do not touch Mother.

Fine.

Your mother has gone through a lot

because of you.

You have to give her a break,

got it?

Get out.

I'm tired, Mother.

Can you tuck me in?

Sure.

You said you're tired.

Why don't you close your eyes?

I can't.

You'll disappear once I close my eyes.

I won't.

It was my bad back then.

I couldn't find a surefire way

to take you with me.

But from now on, I'll be sure to bring you along.

I'll always be here whether your eyes

are opened

or closed.

I haven't asked you this.

The capital is thousands of miles away from Weiyang.

Why would you

and Pei Yanzhen

come to Weiyang?

Are you not going

to see Great-uncle again?

From now on,

Xiyuan is my father,

am I right?

Don't get me wrong, Mother.

I like Xiyuan too.

He smells like you.

But,

Great-uncle has poor eyesight.

I know

he has done something bad to you.

He doesn't deserve my sympathy.

But I'm afraid he'll...

We need

to pay for our actions.

Xiao,

from now on,

I'll never part with you,

okay?

Go to sleep.

Drink less, Master.

Let me make your bed.

It's not necessary.

I'll go and check on Miss Shen again later.

Noted.

It is

an unrequited love.

Master, why bother troubling yourself?

I'm a mediocre man.

I thought if she forgot that guy

and gave up on him,

she'd look at me.

You should stop drinking, Master.

Huashan,

do you think

I'm not a reliable man?

You look like a playboy.

In fact, you're a devoted lover.

Master,

put on the coat as it's getting cold.

Never mind.

You're not the only person

who brings angst on yourself.

Take a look.

Nice plotted plants.

Sir, take a look.

Take a look.

(Guchun Restaurant)

Miaomiao,

there are many things

I have to explain to you.

Miaomiao,

since we got married,

I did adhere to our contract.

I've never touched your body.

I knew

Xiao is

the son

of Pei Yanzhen's the whole time.

Why did you pretend not to know?

Because I was afraid

you'd leave me if you knew the only bond

between us didn't exist.

The outsiders might not know,

but I'm well aware

that he's always been the one in your heart.

I admit

that I married you for another purpose at first.

But then...

Then, you took it too far.

You know what?

Regent said the same thing as well.

Ever since I regained my memory,

I've been thinking

how Pei Yanzhen and I

went this far.

The bird unintentionally revealed the truth back then.

Or else, I wouldn't have noticed the truth.

But Song Xiyuan,

was it really an unintentional move

to give me the bird back then?

But people will learn from mistakes.

Now,

I don't want to care about the past anymore.

Third Master Song,

let me go.

Let me and Xiao leave this place,

will you?

No.

They'll surely turn

Weiyang City upside down now.

Don't ever think of leaving through the city gate.

And Baima Temple is

a well-known place

where everyone visits.

Yet, it's a quiet and safe spot.

It's in the city but it's in the mountain.

You and Xiao can stay there

and wait for the news.

Miaomiao,

Xiao will always be my kid.

And you

will always be my wife.

Master, something happens downstairs.

We're doing legitimate business.

I wonder what we did to offend you.

Please state it.

Where is Song Xiyuan?

Ask him to come out.

I was wondering who it was.

It's you, Your Highness.

I'm sorry

for not being able to welcome you.

I don't have time for this.

Where is Miao?

Pei Yanzhen,

we're not in the capital.

With your arrogant attitude,

you even expect me to tell you the truth?

I'll ask you one more time.

Where is Miao?

I should ask you this.

Two years ago, when we were in the capital,

Miaomiao died because of you.

You still have the audacity to come and ask for her.

(Pei Yanzhen,)

(if it wasn't for you,)

(Miaomiao wouldn't have died.)

(You've ruined her everything.)

(You insist on going)

(against her will even when she dies.)

(My greatest regret in my life is)

(believing that you'll protect her all her life.)

Third Master Song,

you and I knew

that Xu Sheng is Miao.

Why did you

hide her?

I don't understand what you're talking about.

But,

if you insist on making things hard for me...

I didn't expect

you to have this arrangement.

It seems like you've been working on something.

I'll let you off today.

But I'll be sure

to get Miao and Xiao back.

Lvying,

disguise yourself and go to the street now

to buy some clothes.

Something thick and warm.

Didn't Third Master Song want to send you

to Baima Temple?

Why would you need these?

Pei Yanzhen's got eyes everywhere in Weiyang.

Neither Pei Yanzhen

nor Song Xiyuan is trustable.

After careful consideration,

it's better to go north to look for Dad.

Miss Shen,

it's me,

Huashan.

Please come in.

What do you

come here for?

Guchun Restaurant is surrounded by Regent's men.

They're in the lobby now,

asking for you.

That soon?

With Regent's ability,

it took them longer than we thought.

Master barely repelled them.

Sorry to be rude.

I might need you and Miss Lvying

not to walk around now.

Don't bring trouble to Master.

Huashan,

why did you tell me this?

Everything I did is

for Master.

I saved you for Master yesterday.

Today, I gave the heartless person the advice

for his sake.

But he can only forgo

the obsession and notice your existence

and the beauty of the world

when the heartless person leaves.

This is the right thing to do for his sake,

isn't it?

It's Song Xiyuan who's eyeing the Shen family's fortune.

It's also him who's colluded with Pei Yanzhen.

Why did Huashan make it

sound like I'm the heartless person?

Why did you acknowledge it

and took the blame?

I'm worried she'd sow discord

among them and make

a false show of compliance.

But I can tell

that she is the legendary rival of love.

Will she listen to you?

It doesn't matter.

We should leave as soon as possible.

I'll get going.

Your Highness,

I've looked into it.

Guchun Restaurant is the property Song Xiyuan bought

when he was in the capital.

It's disguised as a restaurant.

It's actually used to gather information from the court.

He's well-connected.

It's unassailable.

Song Xiyuan

leads a life of debauchery

and always fools around.

I've underestimated him.

Don't mind him.

What matters is Miao and her son.

Shall we lay a hand on this?

Your wife is

most likely hiding here.

But I'm worried

if we forcibly make a move,

it'll only push Miao away.

But if we do nothing,

once they leave Weiyang City,

how are we going to find them

as it's a big world?

I'm sure Song Xiyuan

will reckon

that we'll continue to focus on Guchun Restaurant.

Hence,

he'll keep acting and putting on some shows.

Yet, secretly,

he'll try everything

to send Miao and Xiao out of Weiyang.

Rather than wasting our efforts

on watching over Guchun Restaurant,

we might as well guard the roads out of the city.

If you could put such an effort

on treating your eyes,

they'd be cured already.

Mother,

where are we going?

Aren't we going with Xiyuan?

We're going to find your grandpa.

As for Song Xiyuan,

there's a long road ahead.

We'll meet again one day.

Do you really mean it?

I don't think I'll ever see you again

once you leave this place.

I'm sorry.

I dare not ask for more.

I can only tell Master

everything I know.

Pei Yanzhen has formed a dragnet.

Miaomiao,

do you really think you can escape from here?

I thought I couldn't.

But now,

I have an idea.
